Which 3rd party ports would be most succesful with the Nintendo audience?

Ugh, personally I hate ports of old games as launch titles for a new console. It was terrible for the Wii U, and I would hate it again for the NX. Honestly, having some new games would be better than ports, but I feel that is for another discussion.

The most successful port would maybe be a.... COD game maybe? Or GTA5? I dunno. My response to porting a existing game usually is "...why? I can get X game on Y or Z console already. Why would I get it again..?"

I love most of the titles you list and would be appealing to me greatly, but this thread isn't about me, haha. Most people probably wouldn't care about these games...

I know that ports won't be the thing that move NX hardware, but if the 3rd party support is low, then it would be safe to think that they will put little efford into the games (thus the ports from older gens, easier to develop than more modern titles). The 3rd party titles that Nintendo got at the WiiU launch were all over the place, and they focused more on getting as many M rated titles rather than choosing those that might be close to the audience there.

If you have to sell games to an audience, make games that catter to them, it's basic bussiness.

Also, the only GTA titles on Nintendo platforms have been GTA for the GBA and CHinatown for the DS. I don't think T2 wants to work on Nintendo systems after those, specially when they could have ported a version of Vice City/San Andreas to the Wii (a platform with 100m units sold) but didn't.

Yeah, I've been thinking for awhile that if 3rd parties want to be successful on Nintendo consoles, they need to look closer at the audience to see what would be a good fit, rather than throwing their big games and hoping something sells well. Of course, they won't be doing that, since it's risky and takes more effort for something that possibly won't sell.

I guess I just answered my own question as to why 3rd parties won't be supporting Nintendo, haha...
