I'd dig it if they put out a tomb raider collection. Down ports of the new ones would be sweet but a collection of the old ones - or Anniversary etc would be cool too. Not gonna happen I know..

Its coming to PC though, might not be that exclusive to Sony
This would not be a bad thing give how good the quality of titles we got from them on the 3ds was
Yeah this. Nothing more needs to be said.
Street Fighter V is on PC as well. But not other consoles.
Fuck. Yes.
Chrono Trigger remaster (with sprites)
FF4 remaster
Platinum developed Nier spin-off
Bravely 3
TWEWY 2
I'd love to see if they'd pull a Bethesda and port a game like Doom for Switch, but their game being FF7 Remake instead... (one can dream right? ;) )
If they released a Tomb Raider collection I would double dip in for this. Easily. I'd love to play these games on the go.

Will be where I buy the sequel if one gets announced and launches at the same time.
I would be interested in that. Just make sure that there's no voiceover's.

This would actually be pretty smart, I think. Tomb Raider and Rise separately may not be the best idea, but I imagine a bundle with the two together for $60 would find a market. Both games are of high quality, heavily focused on playability, and are in that range of titles that would look nice enough on the Switch compared to their PS4/Xbox counterparts.
Just make a full remake of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates, and I'll be more than happy to double dip.
SE has a ton of games I would appreciate playing again.. especially if remastered.
This sounds good to me.

PC isn't a console. These games are console exclusives. World of FF is console exclusive. It's also interesting it was announced right alongside FFVII:R, so there's exclusivity there. If that was the case, FFVII wouldn't have been console exclusive to PlayStation for over 20 years now. They also just ported FFIX to PS4... You think it's hard not to port that to other digital shops with the other two consoles if they wanted?
I believe Sony has exclusivity rights over PS1/PS2 era games.
FFVII-FFXII have never come to any other consoles but PlayStation. Those games have been console exclusive for over a decade now. It's Sony's deal with all the PS1/PS2 era Square games since they used to publish a lot of their games and owned a stake in Square. A good amount too. That's why not a single one of those games, Xenogears, KH1/KH2, Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve, etc have come out on anything but PlayStation and have stayed console exclusives for decades now. I don't understand how that's going to change after 10 or even 20 years, specifically using reference with FFVII.
I'm expecting the usual spinoffs and 3DS/Vita styled games. Keep your expectations in check people. So, Crystal Chronicles, FFT, Dragon Quest. Pretty much the usual. And NieR isn't a mid tier game? That game had a massive budget because of putting all their eggs in the basket and getting Platinum on board with one last shot to make NieR/Drakengard mainstream.
The next one is already in development and it's full on AAA due to the huge success of the original. Which couldn't make me happier see NieR get a FF like budget. So it's not midtier.
Anyway, TWEWY 2 or a new FFTA would be awesome for Switch. They're long overdue.

TWEWY2 would be neat but I doubt is ever going to happen.
Still, is cool to know that SE are going to try to get more creative with their releases.

Nier Automata's budget is nothing like the budget a Final Fantasy game receives. Relative to Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, a game like Nier Automata is absolutely more of a "mid-range" product. That doesn't make it a bad game, or even a not-good game. Automata is, by all accounts, an excellent action RPG. But it isn't a "AAA" game in the way that a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest are. It's important to understand that this is all relative.
I desperately want this but I also wanted it done right
This game had a special more edgy and fantastical fantasy feel in the 90's that I felt has been lost by the staff making games now...
I dunno if they could capture and emotional and tonal themes that is given in the music and script. I mean look at the mobile version that pushed the damn chibi art in contrast to the game itself (and yes I am aware of the lighter moments of 6)
The remake, if it does happen, has to build on what made this special or im not on board
Dear god YES PLEASE
I'm perfectly fine with the idea of M2 getting more work.
Hell, where's a localization of that Mana collection...?

Sh*t, I just realized that Crystal Chronicles would be perfect for the Switch!
The multiplayer nature of the console would finally fulfill the potential the series always had.
A KH is most likely assured at this point.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for KH3 or FF7 on switch. Everything else from their japanese teams should be likely though.
Maybe the 1.5 and 2.5 ports. KH3 is UE4 so I wouldn't rule it out completely but it wouldn't come until a while after it launches on PS4/XBONE.
They wouldn't even need to downport them, seeing as 360 versions of both games exist. Just pull a Skyrim and have a version somewhere between the two.
It does not need to be remade.
They just need to give it the OG translation, the option of the cutscenes from the horrible PSX game, and punch up the sound (it still sounds best to me on the OG SNES).
Yeah agreed
Having the best way to play locked to the DS version of the game is a damn crime. Its so weird how little these classics have been updated for future consumption
Wouldn't count on the ports either. If there is some kind of agreement between Sony and SE as speculated earlier, the main KH games are part of it too. It kinda makes sense too since X1 didn't get a port of 1.5 and 2.5 and it's getting KH3.
A mix between new games (or IP's maybe!) and re-releases it's a nice situation for Square-Enix. In fact, S-E, please announce a Bravely recopilation for Switch so I don't have to buy it in 3DS!
They definitely get it. That's the type of third party support that's likely to do well on Switch as it doesn't need to sell millions to break even.
Some AAA ports are nice, but many people (myself included) will buy them in their platforms for the better graphics even if they got a downgraded Switch version which limits the market some and makes it tougher to sell enough copies to make the profits they want.
Developers like Capcom should be dosing the same and porting and making games that make sense for the Switch vs the competition.

The reasons is that portings/remakes would have a small ROI as they are a niche games in nowadays gaming landscape. KH might make more sense and I'm pretty sure we will see something out of it on Switch sooner or later.
