@timleon Right now you can't play those games on the Switch though and these things are really just novelty toys/collectibles rather than folk playing then on the bus.
The Corpse Party remake hasn't been announced for a release outside of Japan yet, right? If there's no word of it in the near future then I'll probably just grab it off the Japanese eShop as it has 33% off launch sale till March 8th.
@gcunit ARMS was great! It feels really under rated from how often it's not talked about but the gameplay was accessible enough for anyone to pick up but deep enough so it's not mindless, presented well and had a roster with personality from the get go which is hard to do but I can't see DLC released so late after it's launch and ARMS 2 seems too early.
You know me, I'm all about the ports. Anything from the PS3/360 era in portable form is my jam on Switch. Stuff like Super Street Figter IV, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (MGS: Peacewalker, the best game in the series almost nobody played), The Orange Box, Tomb Raider 2013, etc.
Just Google an "all-time best" list of games rated 70+ from those platforms. What you'll find are several games that would be great additions to the Switch library. Unfortunately, the publishers for those games can't be bothered to port them to the Switch.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,555 games (as of March 31st, 2026)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
Doubt we'll see anything for Monster Hunter Stories 2 until e3. Capcom will focus on Monster Hunter Rise for now. After it's released, probably June for e3, we'll see a big trailer for MH Stories 2 with gameplay and a release date.
Big ports I want are Mass Effect trilogy, Batman Arkham Collection, Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 4 if they can get it running well, and GTAV. I'm not a big fan of the latter 2, but I still think they should be on the system and have some form of hybrid handheld exposure for series fans to enjoy. Obviously Orange Box and Metal Gear Solid Collection would be great too, but that ship has sailed. Valve does nothing for consoles anymore and Konami only ports retro and casual crap unless paid.
Mass Effect likely won't get announced until next year, but I need it. I want handheld hybrid Mass Effect so bad, otherwise I just won't play them. Same for Batman. I've played the games (never beaten any of them though) but a Switch version would legitimately cause me to binge out on them.
Predictions for the direct: more specific news and footage on things we already know about (Monster Hunter, No More Heroes, SMT, Bravely Default II), next Smash character (I have no guesses as to who it will be), and maybe one or two surprises. I'd like to think it would be Mario related (for the 35th anniversary). Perhaps Odyssey 2?
And now I'm going into avoidance mode. I have an hour left of work and a 40 minute commute before I can stream the Direct and have it be spoiler free.
