Ori 2 coming to Switch no longer console exclusive to Xbox One

Microsoft has lost another exclusive. Ori 2 has fallen into enemy hands, just like cuphead. It's over. Microsoft tried to buy this company and they wanted there freedom they wanna go multiplat like bungie did. Its over microsoft you're finished.

Such a good game. thanks to gamepass for the PC , I was able to play the sequel. I guess Ill have to buy it for the switch.

On gamefaqs the xbox fanboys were guaranteeing it would never be on Switch. This is so delicious!

It's published by MS because it's MS's IP.

MS didn't lose any exclusive today

Yay. Games was great on PC.

Honestly I think the only reason it was a console exclusive to begin with is that Sony won't let them sell in and it took a long time to get working on the Switch.

I thought that it was previously told that it was coming to the Switch eventually before anyway plus the first one was on there so this is hardly a surprise. Still cool for Switch owners to get it regardless.

No xbox guys were saying this one was locked down because Microsoft was gonna stop supporting switch and focus on exclusives.

Why Cuphead is coming to ps4? Why would sony not want this one they don't have a parity clause like xbox did and blocked Indies like broforce.

Microsoft releases their game on another platform and they lost an exclusive?

Poor lems, cant catch a break.

@ProtossRushX: Who are these “Xbox guys” you speak of? I’m talking about the developers and what not. I thought that this was already announced to be getting a Switch version before. If they didn’t then they didn’t but I don’t care what some random forum posters may have said.

100% it on the One X.

Would pick it up for the Switch at the right price. Kids enjoyed it and would play it around the house.

Forgive him and the others. The PS5 weakened exclusives is causing them stress. This thread was created to ease the pain. 😂

Will it ever come to a PS console? A few months ago I would say that no, but after the Cuphead port announcement the first thing that came to my mind was Ori.

@Pedro: This is true. 😅

Holy shit lemming cant catch a break,i have to say cows called this one months ago when they loss cup head.🤣

I wonder if it will land on PS4 as well.

@Archangel3371: @Pedro: this isn’t an Xbox victim support group guys

@phlop_spencer: Quack, quack! 🤣🤣🤣

The past year has been an exciting time for us as we have more than doubled the internal creative teams making up Xbox Game Studios," The company stated. "As these new studios transitioned in, we were aware of some existing commitments to other platforms and will honor them. However, going forward these new studios will focus on making games for our platforms. We have no plans to further expand our exclusive first party games to other consoles. We continue to believe deeply in cross play and progression of games with the right flexibility for developers to insure a fair and fun experience."

'cough' 'cough'

Protoss was right and you were even on that thread guess what swinging with the wind and been OK with what ever thing MS did,that day you were ok with they saying no more games for other platforms and now you are ok with MS supporting more platforms with their games.

See is not ME it is YOU you are ok with everything MS does you are pre programmed to be OK.

Oh and Pedro was there as usual damage controlling how he best can by attacking cows.😂

Its funny how desperate Sony fannies have gotten as of last (24hours) Ori; a multi-platform game, continues to be a multi-platform game and yet these fools think or believe Xbox fannies are upset or lost something. 🤣

Xbox hasn't and will not have exclusives. This has been the case for 2016. 🤣

How is this bad news. Microsoft is doing it themselves? Get the game out to more people.

I swear fanboys make me want to vomit.

@tormentos: Good lord bro, you have issues don’t you. Yep, you sure got me there. Not my problem that I really don’t care that much about what’s “exclusive” or not and you do. Keep reaching and grasping in futility though because it’s absolutely hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

Cool story. Now how does that relate to my comment?😎

That defense mechanism kicking in hard..

No at all man neither do you with anything MS does.😂

@tormentos: The fact that what I care or don’t care about bothers you clowns so much is absolutely amusing. 😅

Not sure what there is to defend. I know you folks hate facts. Feel free to disprove anything in my comment. Let the spinning begin. 😂

All good questions, buddy. Guess we'll never know.

TLHBO

Waiting for the PS4/5 version.

@ProtossRushX: We all knew it was coming to Switch. And it's MS's IP, so their not losing an exclusive. They just chose to port it to Switch.

How is it over for a company when they're willingly putting their games out on another platform?

How does that change the fact that Sony's current lineup of games is mediocre and unexciting at best? Their biggest game this year is also available on PS4, so you can no longer make fun of MS for making Xbox SX games available on Xbox One- And the rest of them have no gameplay or a release date, or even a release date window.

Every game I saw for PS5 is a multiplat.

Gotta give it to Sony fans for hyping a PS3 game as the most hyped launch title.

@jaydan: It's like Pedro said, they're getting stressed over Sony's lackluster showcase of games after spending years shitting on MS for having a lackluster lineup. The fact that Sony's showcase was just as bad for them as MS's is just the cherry on top.

Actually, it was Microsoft that said that themselves. Like all things in this industry, the PR statements these companies make holds up about as well as a boat made of toilet paper.

@Pedro said:

Microsoft releases their game on another platform and they lost an exclusive?

Will of the Wisps was on PC day one with Xbox One. Not sure how TC miss that it never was exclusive from the start.

Lol, sounds about right. I'm still laughing how they created a thread about how heavy the XsX is, then abandoned the thread when their tiny brains found out the PS5 is heavier. LMAO!!!!

Anyway, this is great news for me. I'd rather play these types of games on Switch anyway.

Spoiler alert, here is the [second to] last boss in PS5's upcoming launch title:

Exactly. Sony fannies are still acting surprised over this practice that has been occurring since 2016.

inb4 they start saying their multiplats destroy all other multiplats.

The Xbox guys who said this wasn't coming to switch was the head of marketing director for Xbox Aaron Greenberg said “will be focused on making games for our platforms, and we have no plans to expand our exclusive first-party games to any other consoles”

“no plans for Ori And The Will Of The Wisps to follow in its older brother’s footsteps"

This was at a time where Ori Will of the wisps was launching on xbox one and seemed like they were changing their strategy and moving away from the Switch. So people believed him. Turns out he was a liar and just said that to sell more copies on xbox while keeping switch version in the dark.

there were petitions like this after his statements were made

articles like this

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/03/10/will-ori-and-the-will-of-the-wisps-be-on-nintendo-switch/

a lot of people assumed this one wasn't coming over cause of what Greenberg said about moving away from other consoles.

Archangel was even in the thread where we discussed Greenbergs statement so he knew Microsoft had said this one was not coming to the Switch.

He's there posting twice in the thread and said who cares if they change there strategy it doesn't matter to him now he's saying it was always coming to the switch. Which is it did they switch to not to release and you don't care or was it all coming to switch and you don't care either way.

@ProtossRushX: Oh well ok. I guess I remember that now, probably just forgot about it because I don’t really care one way or the other on where these developers bring their games to. I just figured that since the first game went to the Switch that the second one would as well. 🤷‍♂️

@ProtossRushX: Ok, I see what you're saying. I was unaware of that statement. but we were expecting it to happen since the first game was ported to Switch. But it's still MS's IP, so as I said, they aren't losing an exclusive.

Trolling i see, i thought you were better than that, and us trolls hmmm.

The legs on that high horse just got shorter.

Enough with this juvenile SW shit.

This is a pleasant surprise, especially considering that MS alluded they weren’t keen on porting it, not to mention MOON themselves claiming it’d be extremely difficult to get it running well considering its 3D environments compared to the original’s 2D. 60fps is icing on the cake.

AWESOME news.

Never said I was better, that's just you putting words in, I said we generally behave better and it's true. Never have you seen me talking bad about people for just preferring a certain system, I only call out bad behavior. You know, the kind that looks like a child throwing a tantrum. I don't post that ugly as hell crying meme because it annoys people. I don't stalk other people either.

My statement stands--I called out posters who had no business saying stupid shit like that, because look what happened: it blew up in their faces. You get made fun of for behaving poorly now lie in that bed you made or stop using the name of this place for behaving like a kindergartner.

Didn't you already make a thread on this? Or was it for the last Ori?

Xbox executive Aaron Greenberg said it's was only X1 and PC. I think a lot of lems clung on to that.

Ooh insults, and you say you behave better lol, see you're a troll like the rest of us, you only think you behave better. See you wait for fanboys to say something and then think its ok for you to attack them, you're no better, so stop acting like you are lol.

How did you put it, oh this is delicious.

Sorry for your exclusive loss, @Pedro and @i_p_daily
