Mario Kart deluxe and BoTW will definitely be a huge hit, since nobody bought a WiiU it doesnt matter if they were are also there and I suspect many WiiU owners will buy the Switch version of BoTW instead, just as happened with TP in GC. Is not a matter of being a one console owner,  I can get Skyim without a Switch (in fact I have it) but I cannot get a portable Skyrim anywhere else, so thats very appealing, same with DQXI except in that case the game is not releasing on PC so Switch would be my only option anyways.

I forgot to mention Mario Kart and BoTW you're right those will be huge hits no doubt. For Skyrim and most likely DQXI you pass on graphics for flexibility, everyones different but I would rather play the most graphically appealing version of my favourite games (Which will be a plus for Switches version of BotW over the WiiU). I own portable consoles and have games that are available to play on both PS4/Vita, 9 times out of ten i'll pick the most beautiful looking version. For example I own World of Final Fantasy on Vita and PS4 I bought it twice so I could play on the train, I played it one time on the train then wanted to keep playing it on the PS4 cause it looked that much better. But like I said everyone is different and a game being portable for me doing really add toooo much value in my eyes, even though Im on the train for 4 hours a day (I know 4 hours is crazy!)

 

Im not sure what your favourite game is but lets say its the one in your profile picture Tokyo Mirage. Would you rather have the option to play that game portable at a noticable graphical nerf or have the game only playable in the living room at a noticable graphical improvement?

I feel like you will pick the portable option, but im just curious.

Well, if we were talking about a very tiny screen with low resolution like the 3DS one maybe not, but with a 6"screen at 720p I would choose the portable one specially since TMS relies heavily on artstyle and a technical downgrade would not destroy its visual appealing , something that happens with many nintendo games btw. In this particular case TMS would look better on Switch even on portable mode though but I get your point.

Also just a note, TMS is not my favourite game, that would be Portal 2, Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy , Bioshock or Wind Waker, but it was my favourite game of 2016.
