Call of duty coming to Nintendo
Microsoft and Nintendo are bringing Call of Duty to Nintendo players, the same day as Xbox. The games will have full feature and content parity.
The deal that was negotiated is a binding 10 year legal agreement. This allows Nintendo players to enjoy the series as Xbox and Playstation gamers have. The announcement was made by Brad Smith the Vice Chair and President of Microsoft.
We’ve now signed a binding 10-year contract to bring Xbox games to Nintendo’s gamers. This is just part of our commitment to bring Xbox games and Activision titles like Call of Duty to more players on more platforms. pic.twitter.com/JmO0hzw1BO

While the announcement has excited many fans, it is not one hundred percent clear. Some are asking for clarity on the deal. Is it only Call of Duty games or is it all games.
While Microsoft is fighting with competition regulators, this deal should surely open up the industry as opposed to monopolising it.
Is this a one way deal or could we eventually see Nintendo games making the opposite journey?
