So, for anyone who doesn't know, Nintendo Selects are when Nintendo takes a select group of games, and lowers the price to $20 (£15.99). So I was wondering, what does everyone think will be some Nintendo Selects for the Switch? This is looking ahead a bit, as I'm sure these won't come any time soon, but it's fun to talk about these things.
Personally, I think that Super Bomberman R might be one, and possibly ARMS once the Switch is nearing the end of it's life cycle.

I think we have another year or two before sales slow down enough to need a budget title but I'll bet Zelda and Mario Kart as well as DX XI in japan (squenix has a discount line as well).

Even though they're not out yet, I'd bet Yoshi and Kirby will be 2 of the first Selects. I think the Wii U only started receiving them towards the end of its 3rd year although I might be wrong on that. By that time Yoshi and Kirby will be around 2 years old.
For the record, Wii, 3DS, GBA and Wii U received selects starting in their fifth or sixth years.(DS didn't have any selects strangely enough, GC was back in the player's choice era and I don't have dates). As such, I wouldn't expect select titles until 2021 at the earliest.
That said, the most likely titles to receive Selects releases are more than likely: Legend of Zelda: BOTW (The big launch title pretty much always ends up in the selects line). Now, Nintendo's thrown a few curveballs into the selects line since it was rebranded from Player's choice (Pikmin 2 in NA on Wii debuted through that notably), but for the most part, they're all million sellers. So 1-2 Switch, Mario Kart 8 DX, Arms, Kirby and Yoshi are the likely titles that it'll debut with that have been announced so far.
I doubt bomberman would make the cut to be a select, but I do see it being a discount bin game at some point. its very likely that most of the big nintendo games will get it, but its probably still years off
I doubt Bomberman will make it, since it was a bit of a niche game at launch. I can see MK8DX going the Selects route in the future, though. Maybe Zelda, since Wind Waker HD became one in the Wii U.
The one I'd doubt with they way it is selling is Odyssey. Its attach rate is insane.
