The version that runned on PS3 and X360 likelly wouldn't work ported to Switch, but perhaps it could. Since they are even porting to PS5 and Series they had time to think if it was an error to not port it to Switch and correct that, apparently people still buys it a lot even so long after release (but I saw some complaining that the biggest focus for GTA5 for R* is the online and that would be a problem on Switch, which I dunno if really would be).

Switch already runs games way from demanding than the PS3/360 version of GTA5, like Witcher 3, Dying Light, Crysis Remastered, Doom Eternal, etc.

Just cos someone makes a mistake doesn't necessarily mean they'll rethink and correct that mistake.

Indeed.

I am happy to pay the cart Tax if it means we get the full game though. 

Base price for LA Noire is still 49.99 on eShop.   I'm surprised they even releasing Switch version.   Their lazy asses can't even put GTA5 on Switch which would sell a few million.   Probably because they don't want to bother with their cash cow GTA online for Switch.  They could just put GTA5 single player game and it would still sell a few million.  GTA online full of cheaters and they can't even fix that.

So I guess we can finally put to bed the oft-repeated notions that Nintendo and Rockstar have some deep disagreement that means GTA would never come to Switch or that Nintendo wouldn't allow such content on their platform. (Which was always nonsense anyway since they allow the likes of Outlast II, Wolfenstein II, etc)

Yes, and no.

The GTA Trilogye remakster is a "trial", the classic "if people buy that means people only want this" and "if people don't buy that means there is no audience for this kind of game on this platform"

Trilogy is likely the test, correct. If this does well enough, then you can almost be certain you'll see GTAV on Switch 2. Rockstar could try to do a cross gen release of GTAV on Switch and Switch 2 to cash in big like the rest of the cross gen releases, but that would also be much more work. The Switch version may be too much of a downgrade however, who knows? Then it would be simple to just put GTAV on Switch 2 like the trilogy on Switch.
