Hi all, long time lurker first time poster!
I'm really interested in the 3rd party support we get on Switch this year, the rumours from insiders has me hoping we will get some big titles (Switch is the only console I play on now so the more the better!)
Thinking of what could come, games was expecting to hit Switch were the likes of
Batman Arkham games
Tomb Raider reboot trilogy (Was this not rumoured by King Zell or someone?)
Dishonoured series
Nier Automata
The other Wolfenstein games
I know some of these will be current gen games so not sure how much they can be tinkered with to run on Switch but these are the sort of games I would have expected reach Switch in the next year or so.
I also hope we see some older, 360 generation stuff, stuff that is really unexpected, games like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West or Shadows of the Damned type stuff would be great! Maybe Capcom would eventually get the RE engine running on Switch so we see some kind of ports of Remake 2 and DMC5 but I guess this is highly unlikely at this point.
I will be grabbing Saints Row 3 (Never played it) and Darksiders (played twice but love it) to show support so we hopefully get the sequels ported to Switch.
-Batman: Arkham Collection is released for XB1/PS4, so port of that is possible.
-First two Tomb Raider games are on 360, so port of them is definitely possible, even King Zell hinted Tomb Raider before.
-Nier Automata is also possible.
-Talking about Dishonoured and previous Wolfenstein games, Bethesda dont like to port old games, so chances for ports of older Bethesda games for Switch are very slim even if I would kill for Fallout 3 port.
-RE Remake 2 could run without problem on Switch (its 1080p/60fps games on base XB1), only question is if Capcom is porting or maybe already ported RE Engine to Switch. IMO we will see Remake 2 on Switch in some point.
RIP the dream. That seems like a definitive no. Maybe things changed in two years, but I doubt it.
Plenty things can change in 2 years, especially when you going from big question mark that was released after biggest Nintendo fail, to very successful platform.
