Circulated rumor of content for Super Mario Bros.'s 35th Anniversary

Honestly I'd have thought that Nintendo and Microsoft's more chumminess lately would make it more likely for it to get a rerelease, but then I remembered they'd also have to contend with the rights holders for James Bond (does Activison still own the video game rights to the brand or did those expire?) too.

Yeah Microsoft and Nintendo that would be no problem as Nintendo is possibly going to let Game pass onto the system. Which would be nice. It's the James Bond's that would be promblematic

Honestly I don't think this partnership between Microsoft and Nintendo is really strong enough to release Rare's games on Switch while Rare Replay exists
 
No I'm referring to the James Bond licensing issue, not the rare one. I still don't expect Rare games to happen in a theoretical service like this, but I don't think they're completely off the table considering Banjo-Kazooie is in Smash and a few Xbox games have been released on Switch.
 
well judging from what's usually on the eshop they seem to like super mario, especially the 3d ones, maybe mario kart, maybe at least one mario party, paper mario, and mario & luigi. at least as far as mario goes, i don't pay much attention to the rest
 
maybe banjo can happen still considering they managed to put dkc on there after a while too. maybe. would prob have to talk with microsoft or somethin
anyway with n64 online im hoping for pm64 the most honestly i have no other way of playing it
