Topic: Modern Nintendo Games That Will Never Get Ported

How many Nintendo games that are releasing in the current Switch era do you think we will never see on another Nintendo system? I was thinking about how there are a multitude of Nintendo published and/or developed games from older hardware that have never seen a re-release, either for licensing (Hamtaro GBA games), peripherals (Gyromite NES, Super Scope 6 SNES) or branding (Wii Play, Party etc.) and speculated on which from this current generation of hardware would be unlikely to be seen again.

Ring Fit Adventure comes to mind immediately because of peripherals, but I could also see the 1-2 Switch series and ARMS being relegated to permanent Switch Exclusive

The nice thing about backwards compatibility is that not every game need to be ported again to be on the new system.

@Nep-Nep-Freak I was thinking moreso in the future beyond Switch 2. Like how there are plenty of games from NES to Wii U that have never seen the light of day again. Even on other Systems there are a lot of Xbox and Playstation Games that we have never seen again. Switch 1 even left a lot of Wii U games behind after all due to lack of form factor. Can't guarantee that every Nintendo console from now on will be able to play every Switch game, although the digital era certainly helps.

You wouldn't have thought that the Virtual Boy could possibly come back, but here we are!

Honestly, the superscope stuff like Yoshi's Safari...if Nintendo could think of a way, I imagine they might.

I have a feeling Star Fox Zero will never be ported. I'm probably one of the few who actually enjoyed the game. I think the game would need to be reworked since there were elements of the game that relied on the Wii U game pad.

It's been a while since I've played it. IIRC you had the cockpit view on the game pad, and I think there was a robot feature with it. Emphasis on think because I can't remember.

Also Star Fox Guard for the same reason, heavy use of the Wii U game pad. Shame, since I wish both games gotten ports.

Edit: I just remembered Devil's Third. I don't think it's going to be ported due to how poorly the game sold and was received. I also feel like I'm the only one who actually played it. I have it digitally on my Wii U's hard drive.

To quote some guy: "never say never". Crazier things that people wanted but had no hope for have happened.
