Well, GBC, GBA and the DS all got a GTA and GTA V is running on previous gen consoles, I don't see them not porting the game over sometime soon.

Shenmue III may be built with PS4 hardware in mind and thus not getting ported. However, the announced HD ports of Shenmue I and II should really also come to Switch, here I don't see a reason why not.

Those gta’s that came to the old old portables weren’t developed by r* north or sandiego. None of the r* games are from those r* divisions. Those two developers used to be Nintendo 2nd party devs on the n64 under the names dma and angel studios. Things didn’t workout. Don’t expect gta v on switch unless you believe in miracles  

 

The Gameboy Color obe came from DMA Design, which is the old name of Rockstar North, and Chinatown wars for the DS came from Rockstar Leeds. Rockstar Sand Diego has nothing to do with the GTA series, apart from having helped out a bit on V. San Diego is doing the Red Dead and Midnight Club series, and also did Max Payne 3.

And no, they weren't Nintendo Second Party Devs, though they had a deal in the SNES/N64 era with Nintendo up until DMA Design got bought and renamed by Take Two Interactive in 1999. The deal did work out for both parties, but had to end because it was made with the parent company of DMA Design, which at the time was Infogrames (nowadays known as Ubisoft)

I mean, they brought over L.A. Noire, and I'm pretty sure it was to gauge if a GTA V port for the Switch would make sense. We don't know how well it sold, but VGChartz has it at 270k physical copies, meaning with digital it's probably well over 300k now.
