In a recent interview with GamesBeat, Nintendo of America Executive Charlie Scibetta was asked why they considered the decision to agree to Crossplay between Nintendo and Xbox One in Minecraft. Scibetta stated..
“If it’s right for gamers, we’re going to entertain it. If we can make it work, we’re going to do it.”
Scibetta said one major reason was that is their belief that gamers should play with their friends regardless of what system they game on, and used Rocket League as an example. Stating..
“Every game is different. Some games are great for multiplayer, some are better as a single-player experience, some are better in all kinds of situations for all kinds of games. Rocket League works best with cross platform play. Let’s make it happen.”
