What Could Be Panic Button's New Port for The Switch?

Are we 100% sure it will be anything? I mean they could have just been teasing to tease.
Honestly, I want Dragon's Dogma on the go. That game ran fine on my Radeon RX 270, it will run fine on a Switch. It will be somewhere between the PS3 and Ps4 versions and that's a okay.

Hopefully some big RPG, these are perfect for a Handheld.
I know some people (including myself) who eventually played (after some unsuccessful tries on other platforms) Skyrim because Switch is the perfect system for big RPGs.

I'm pretty sure GTA V, Diablo 3 and Overwatch will come to Switch, so maybe it will b one of those. Aside from that, maybe a Bethesda game like The Evil Withim 2, Prey, Dishonored 2 or Fallout 4.
Didn't they explicitly say they had a major Switch port that was going to be announced next month? That's not exactly a vague tease...
Don't believe so but then again there aren't that many Blizzard ports to choose from
True. The most recent ones I can think of would be their console ports of Diablo 3 which I believe they did in house.
something that will DISAPPOINT us.
Not because it's bad, but because our hype is always so damn high.

I hope it's a remastered version of Fallout New Vegas but I'll be realistic and say that we're probably never seeing anything to do with NV as long as Bethesda holds the rights. So next best thing would be either Fallout 3 remastered or Fallout 4. I really really want a Fallout game on the go.
Black Ops II "Remaster", all maps and Zombies DLC, splitscreen...
It's probably not this, to be fair, but I could certainly see Activision releasing a version of BO2 at some point in the Switch's life.

I'd be down for Fallout 4. That actually seems like the perfect game to make a bit of progress here and there during lunch at work.

Source on "they already tried"?
I mean I don't doubt that it's completely off the table but I'd be extremely surprised if they ever tried to port it, or even experimented with porting it. It's very clear Switch was never in the cards for MHW.
Last night Doctre81 tweeted a couple of hints to Dishonored 2 and Prey, so he has probably found something Arkane/Switch related.
While Dishonored 2 used Arkane's own take on id Tech 5 engine, Prey used CryEngine 4. We don't know if those findings could be Panic Button related or not, but maybe?

Panic Button teased the port in an interview where they said that from late 2018, Switch ports would come day-and-date, or closer to. Neither Prey, nor Dishonored 2, fit that bill, but who knows. Maybe they are coming but not by Panic Button, or who knows.
Wouldn't mind having those two on the Switch that's for sure.
I'd be certain both Youngblood and eternal are coming to switch and be fairly sure they'll be day and date with the other platforms but I don't think either is the game panic button were teasing
Omg I would adore portable Dishonoured 2. Or Prey actually. They might actually sell better on Switch too!
Dishonored 2 is poorly optimised on PC it'd be real impressive to see it scaled down to Switch in a playable way.
Source? Just to make sure, it wouldn't be surprising if part of the contract for porting DOOM and Wolfenstein was leaving the tools and the documentation ready for id and Machine Games to have a framework and develop for the Switch.
Sorry, I misremembered. Panic Button actually confirmed they weren't doing TNO not YB.
Yeah this is what I think too.
I think they're working on a Call of Duty. No idea which, but one with online multiplayer.
I think FO4 is likely but why would Bethesda use PB and not the studio that already ported Skyrim SE for them (Iron Galaxy)?
I have a feeling it's Fallout 4, and as someone else already said, Fallout Shelter was put on Switch as a warm-up, same way it was for the other platforms.
I kinda hope it is, didn't put enough time into that game and would certainly do on Switch.

If a fallout game is coming I'd expect it to be from the guys that did Skyrim not panic button
The context of the article in which they said they're announcing a major port was about Switch releases getting closer and closer to day and date with other platforms.
So I think it'll be newer than anything they've ported thus far.

That says literally nothing about them actually trying to port it.
All they have said about it is that it "can't be done". We don't know if that's for technical reasons, financial reasons or contractual reasons.

Right, and I wasn't questioning that, I was questioning the part where you said "they already tried"
If Metroid Prime Trilogy HD exist, which is very likely, it won't be made by them obviously. More likely that Tantalus Media is currently working on it. Their last game is Twilght Princess HD, which came out in 2016... Metroid Prime 4 is probably in pre production since 2015/2016 (Tanabe has been talking about MP4 since 2015, saying it would probably need 3 years of full production), and Emily said Nintendo wanted to make Metroid Prime Trilogy HD happen on Switch when MP4 production has launched. Makes sense imo.
