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.

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.

Probably Switch 2.   Most Nintendo fans are tired of tests.   EA would be the worst offender for test on last two Nintendo systems.   If GTA trilogy sells 3+ million on Switch and Rockstar still ignores it then it would be on them.   I know Nintendo has inferior hardware but GTAV is two generations back game.   Not that I care since I have it on PC but I'm just wondering why they don't put minimum effort to make money.  It can't be that hard of a port.   There has to be some kind of biased against Nintendo like there is at EA.  I'll give them credit though they could have just ignored the Switch.  So here we go....   Test number one thousand for Switch owners.   At least some developers had the balls this generation to put games on it that neglected Nintendo systems in past like Bethesda.

Well you said it yourself, which is likely a big part of the problem. Nin fans are tired of tests, and devs/pubs are probably tired of inferior hardware, among other things. As long as the hardware situation remains, the 'test method' will likely remain the norm. Unless maybe more handheld/hybrid devices start showing up, especially from competitors. 

GTAV was also the very end of 7th gen and pushed those consoles. My bro's 360 would take off like a PS4 when playing and coincidentally it ended up RROD'ing after a few months of only GTAV sessions. How easily Switch could handle that is questionable, even with downgrades. 

The Nin crowd is also known for buying the 'same old thing' over and over. Kinda like buying Fifa or Madden every single year. It's not always like that exactly but that's a general view. So if you're a 3rd party, why not bring old games to newer Switch devices eventually instead of the existing hardware? On one hand it does suck, on the other, it's certainly better than nothing.
