When the Switch first launched, one of the burning questions I had about its future was whether or not it would inherit the 3DS' great JRPG and SRPG support. The answer is yes. The floodgates have opened. Here is what the Switch has for JRPGs and SRPGS either now, or in the future...

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna
Valkyria Chronicles 4
Octopath Traveler
Disgaea 5 Complete
Atelier Lydie & Suelle
Lost Sphere
Ys VIII
Labryinth of Refrain (I'm painfully on the fence about this one, but it exists. Beware the ultra-cringe NISA voice actors.)
Disgaea 1 Remastered
Pokemon Let's Go (Also on the fence about this one.)
Pokemon Gen 8
Tales of Vesperia Remastered
Fire Emblem Three Houses
DragonQuest XI S
Grandia Remastered
Shin Megami Tensei 5
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9

I'm not sure if Persona 5 will get a Switch version, but Persona 3 and 4 both got portable versions. So there's a good chance of it coming to Switch. I think. Maybe. I'll stop port begging now. 

The only question remaining is just how long Atlus will cling to the 3DS. I'm eagerly awaiting sales results for Valkyria Chronicles 4 on Switch. Because if it does amazingly well Sega may just force Atlus to pump out more games for Switch. 
 

Yes its getting a few JRPG/S-rpgs but its still got along way to go compaired to the PS4:

And whats even better, Switch has rapidly increasing support of Japanese devs when comes to those games, especially now when Vita dies and Switch remains like only platform thats also handheld in Japan, and Switch soon become platform with biggest install base in Japan.



FragileSurface on 27 September 2018

It's still way too big fir a handheld. If Nintendo comes out with a smaller, more portable version and the Switch gets more exclusive jrpgs I'm in.

Big JRPG games only you mean. The smaller and niche ones are starting to sell more on Switch

What are you talking about? The p4 has a huge amount of big and small jrpg's,if there selling better or not isnt the point.

"JRPGS and SRPGS"

I miss the 90's when they were just called "RPG's"... The need to over complicate or over classify genre's makes me wanna bang my head on a desk. An RPG is an RPG - regardless of where it was developed or it's sub-genre. (ARPG, MMO RPG, ORPG, blah blah blah blah blah....)

Heh, I agree.  I am not really an Elder Scrolls fan, but I see no reason why Skyrim shouldn't be lumped in with all the other games in the OP.  They are all RPG's.

And really I see Switch more as the console for fantasy themed games in general, because I see Zelda as the trend setter.  Breath of the Wild made the Switch a hot console right out of the gate.  Now all of these other games are basically selling to the Zelda fan that wants another big fantasy world to play in.

But yeah, I have agree with the basic premise of the OP.  The Switch is going to be the definitive console for JRPG's (or RPG's in general).  Zelda whetted everyone's appetites for huge fantasy worlds.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

My Threads:
Master Thread, Game of the Year/Decade
Switch Will Be #1 All Time
Zelda Will Outsell Mario (Achieved)
How Much Will MH Rise sell?

You've missed out quite some titles:

Town (Gamefreak)
I Am Setsuna
TWEWY
Final Fantasy X HD Remaster
Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Inazuma XI
Yakoi Watch
Neptunia
World of Final Fantasy
SOA:FB
Tales of Vesperia
Shin Megami Tensei V
Shining Resonance Refrain
Romancing Saga
Disgaea
Disgaea 5
Little Dragon's Cafe
Langrisser Remakes
Golf Story
Crystal Chronicles R
DQ Builders
DQ Builders 2

When adding these to the OP it becomes quite the selection for a platform not even two years old.

Not true. Ps4 has remote play that works with android phones. And every jrpg won't be ported to it and made for it. Ps4 will have a lot the switch won't get. 

It only works with Xperia smartphones, not all android devices.
