A simple prediction poll before rumors are dispelled at the January 12th Confrence.

Well probably not FF15 or FF7R, or Kingdom hearts 3.

However the new Dragons Quest, will get a switch version.

Ni No Kuni might get a switch version? it would make sense, since nintendo has had the first game on its systems too.

Theres gonna be some stuff for it.

Actually I think Square-Enix may have switched (no pun) to Unreal Engine 4 to accomodate Switch versions of games more easily.

Why would you spend so much money on the Luminous Engine and never basically use it again?

DQXI runs on Unreal Engine 4, that's likely why they can make a Switch port of it, FF7 and KH3 also use Unreal Engine 4.

I think Switch will get the bulk of Japanese support, but only about 30%-40% of Western support. And that Western number will drop if the first batch of games don't sell well.

To be honest Kingdom Hearts III really doesn't look that much better than Dragon Quest XI, so if that can run on Switch, I'd guess the other one could too. It would take some work, but Japanese devs are more likely to be willing to do so given the Switch is likely to sell well in Japan.

The graphics in FF7R look better than FFXV's.... if the switch cant run FFXV, I doubt it can run FF7R.

Kingdom hearts 3... maybe, but Im skeptical about that too.

eternal ninty optimism.  

Not happening, of dock it will be far to weak to run it.  And they sure as hell wont be designing the switch version from ground up.

I don't know about percentage, but I'd expect whatever portables always get plus the console yearly titles such as madden / fifa / cod / etc.

At this point, I'm no longer expecting any of the bigger one-off type of games.

For JAPANESE developers, sure they could develop it from the ground up. They have ample motivation to do so, namely that this is likely to be the market leader in Japan. 

Besides they already ARE doing it for Dragon Quest XI, which is bigger than any of the Final Fantasy of KH titles.
