Wish they would announce the Tales game, so I can either be excited or not.

Agreed. If it is Berseria, Zestiria, Xillia 1, or Xillia 2 - no interest.  Graces F I could get behind.  Vesperia would be interesting even though I've played it on the xbox 360.

I guess I could give Symphonia another shot. I didn't care for it after playing the others since it felt slower, but maybe handheld would be different.

Which Bandai Namco game do you want for Switch?

Good news for Nintendo Switch owners, Bandai Namco have pledged their undivided support for the platform. Speaking to investors the company said that they are planning to bring a number of undisclosed games to Nintendo’s latest system.

“We will continue to introduce Nintendo Switch titles from July one after another”.

More info i'll update here.

Source 1 and Source 2

Bringing a "number of undisclosed games" is not anywhere close to Full support for the switch. It just means they will release more games. It could be a couple,it could mean more. I'm not expecting Dragonball Fighterz, Code Vein, Tekken 7 and Project CARS 2, One-piece, SAO, or anything dark souls related.

Lol, that game would sell better on Switch than PS4 and XBONE. It would be stupid not to bring it over. One Piece would be another no-brainer, the games aren't taxing at all and Nintendo systems have a huge anime fanbase. They can keep their generic racers like Project Cars though. 

Sonic Mania is also tracking ahead of the PS4 on Amazon. Third party studios are definitely underestimating the Nintendo Switch.

I wish they remastered Tales of Vesperia for Switch/PS4.

This is one of the very few third party companies that had a comparatively good, working relationship with Nintendo under the Wii U's environment. I think its expected that Bandai Namco will be much more open to supporting them with, maybe not all their games, but a lot of them.

Little Nightmares would be nice on the Switch.

So is this an unprecedented partnership?

I want Namco Museum Switch Volume 2.

Also I hope they have a proper Tales game. Even a port would be nice. The only experience I have with Tales is the one on the Wii. (Which I didn't like all that much at the time but I only played to the 2nd dungeon or so. However that was a looong time ago.) Honestly as long as they don't pull a Tales of Graces again.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Can I get a tales of synphonia release? Loved it on GameCube and would love to be able to play it again on Nintendo's new console. How about that new dragon ball game too? :)
