I think if not a full blown partnership, MS and Nintendo should consider a "non-aggression pact" as it were where they help each other a bit.

MS gives the Switch a Halo game or two, Rare games for Virtual Console, in return XBox/Windows PC maybe receives some older Metroid Prime titles in 4K.

Nintendo gets the better deal because they have the more valuable franchises (Halo for Metroid is a win for Nintendo), MS gets some nice PR. They're both getting kinda fucked by Sony IMO with Sony pushing devs into exclusivity deals, so they should strike back a bit.

I would be fine with MS making a Halo 1/2 anniversary and Halo 3 hd for the Switch and the Gears Trilogy & Fable Trilogy, it would be a smart move moneywise.
