If Skyrim Switch does well, could we see other old game ports to the Switch?

I'd be interested in some. Like Doom, Skyrim, Dark Souls Trilogy (please).

Dark Souls would be very much appreciated by me.

Well yes, I agree. But first Atlus must get it's shit together and continue Etrian Odyssey on Switch.

I honestly believe Switch is the only system that can sell purely on the back of ports. While it's great to have marquee new titles like Odyssey and Splatoon 2, people have very fond nostalgic memories of their favorite games, and with it being portable so you can take the games with you anywhere, I think it could sell potentially millions of units based on that principle alone. Personally for games that I want, I never played Dark Souls or Beyond Good and Evil, but if there are ports for Switch coming, I think I might have to pick it up.

GTA V and The Witcher 3 would be the best ones to do. GTA V on the go could actually be a system seller for a decent chunk of people who would never consider a Nintendo console otherwise.

Sure, indeed it will MOSTLY have old ports, and in a far future the Switch name will be forgotten and people will call it "teh Zelda and old ports console"!

I would hope titles like Morrowind get ported over, albeit unlikely.
More gamers need to experience the game that really kickstarted the franchise and where some of the great music in Skyrim came from.

Sadly... The only console Morrowind was on was the Original Xbox console.

Oblivion would be great to see as well.

Well MGSV had a good port on 7th gen. That version with more stable performance, increased resolution, and maybe some other tweaks would be fine on Switch.

I suspect Sony is paying to keep Persona on Playstation. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. But Nintendo could change that if Switch thrives in Japan.

I know it's very difficult to happen, at least persona arena, persona q remaster and persona q-2 is something possible.
