Pretty sure Just Dance got confirmed, if not, that has a 9999% chance of coming to Switch.

As for the rest, I'd say 50:50 for some of them, but I kinda doubt Dark Souls III and Persona 5.

Also, I would normally say that Sonic Mania NOT being on Switch would be flat out heresy, but because of my conspiracy theory involving Nintendo constantly defying common sense and reasonable expectations for the worst case scenario, I will simply say that Sonic Mania has a 0% chance of happening on Switch, so that reverse psychology makes it so that the game will be on Switch.

Eh, I don't see why FromSoftware would support Nintendo and not bring the Soul series. What else could they bring to the system? I don't think their mech games are that popular. Persona could be harder because P5 seems to have some sort of tie (is that confirmed or not) with Sony, but that doesn't mean they can't bring the rest of them (Persona 1-4G).



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I agree with a lot of these games, and would especially loooove a Persona 5 remaster with added stuff (so pretty much Persona 5 Golden). South Park would be dope too, but I think is least likely of the list.

There`s no chance of that happening. The western release is in February, there`s absolutely no way they would release a remaster with extra stuff just a single month after that. If it releases on the Switch (which I personally doubt anyway), it would be the exact same version as the one that releases in February for PS4 (ie. the regular version)

Oops, forgot this was specifically about the launch window, I was thinking probably about a year down the line. Yeah, no chance Persona 5 is coming to the Switch that soon. 



The only one i can see being practically 100% is just dance 2017



Lets not forget many of these publishers have done android ports and portable games and many of these titles will be a logical easy port to Switch due to its arm cores with major enhancements hopefully.

I think if Nintendo had gone down the route of AMD Zen architecture then x86 + Radeon ports would have been easier and more likely to happen but its ARM based, powerful ARM admittedly and Nvidia GPU its not going to be as easy.

More importantly it is a cartridge based system and will not be cheap to produce a Switch version of a game on cartridge. I suspect third parties will limit themselves to smaller cartridges due to costs and there more likely make enhanced versions of android games rather than cutdown versions of pc/ps4/xbone games.

I personally have very little expectation that the Switch will get included in the support list of major triple 'A' games .most of the time, I'm sure there will be a few exceptions.

Fromsoftware has released a 3ds game before, a MH game. Dont expect too much from 3rd party developer

I doubt that the third-party support is going to be much better than on the Wii U.

Don't be irrational, this will also replace the 3DS eventually, so it will of course get better third party support than the Wii U.

And? 3DS didn't have a good western third-party support too.

Shifting goalposts I see. Most of the games I listed are made by Japanese developers.

I'll not get too excited yet.

Codemasters were onboard for 3DS and Vita hyping me for portable DIRT or GRID. We got like one poor port of F1 and that was about it. :/
