A bit of backstory...
Game Awards 2018...
Post show...

Mario: Ha-ha! We got em good near the end there didn't we, Chief?

Master Chief: Yeah, we make a good team at the end of the day, huh?

Mario: Yeah...although...it could potentially be even greater if given the chance...

Master Chief: Hm?

Mario: I mean to say that Minecraft is pretty big on Switch right now and that maybe, just maybe, that generosity can be extended to other titles.

Master Chief: Is this another attempt to get Rare back?

Mario: No, I've accepted it at this point, although it would be nice to get some of their titles on Switch...I was referring to a different idea I had, one that could possibly benefit both of us, Chief.

Master Chief:...what are you playing at?

Mario then looked around before motioning Chief to come over to a dark corner to discuss some things.

Mario: Chief, you know that Minecraft is like, your best selling game over in Japan thanks to the Switch port, right?

Master Chief: Yes...?

Mario: I was thinking we could get some other titles over there...say...this Cuphead game that you guys own the publishing rights to?

Chief is at first surprised by this, but then begins to think about it more.
Finally he responded with...

Master Chief: I understand what you're saying, but it would take a little while to put it all together.

Mario: Yes! Thanks for hearing me out! Now, I'll see you later. For now, I've got some others I got to catch up with.

Mario and Chief then wave goodbye to one another as Mario catches up with the rest of the Nintendo cast including Link who was playing on his Switch while walking.

Mario: Hey everyone! Just taking care of some business talk and now I have all the time in the world to talk to everyone.

Kirby: Thank goodness...I've just been taking the time to more closely know our newest recruit and...

Joker: Question: is Link always so focused like that?

Mario then looked at Link who was incredibly deep within the game he was playing to the point where he was barely blinking.
Curious, Mario then looked at the screen to see what Link was playing to find out what Link was playing and saw that it was Crypt of the Necrodancer, a popular indie game.

Mario: Not usually...but he's got a good reason to be.

Pikachu: Yeah, he's had a real obsession with Crypt ever since they ported it to Switch.

Link: Shhhhh...

Pikachu: To the point where he's doing that...

Mario: Ah...he's so absorbed that he hasn't realized that the main character of the game, Cadence, is right over there...

Link: Sh......WHAT, WHERE!?!?

Mario: Right over there with the rest of the indie stars.

Link: MARIO, TAKE OVER FOR ME!

Link then tosses Mario his Switch while he dashes on over to the indie crowd to talk with the star of one of his new favorite games.

Mario: Gee...I wonder if anything will come from that...
