There’s the big budget Mario movie out next year too so it would make sense Ninty would want to release a game around the same time to take advantage of the hype.

@Slowdive that what i expect for Nintendo to do release the Super Mario Odyssey 2 or a brand new 3D Mario close to the Illumination Mario movie to market it.
P5S is really good. Definitely snag this one while it's discounted. I think even people who aren't too familiar with the series it's spinning off from will find a really solid action RPG in it

@TheFrenchiestFry I agree, but Atlus would make a killing by porting Persona 3 and 4 to the Switch. They’re quite unassuming graphically, so it’s very much possible, especially because 4 Golden got put on PC!
Watch yourselves, Atlus will hear people want Persona 3 and 4 on Switch only to then port over the dancing games. ;p
I’d rather have a port of Persona 3 than 4. I only played the PSP version of it which is meant to be the lesser of the updated versions. Plus the gun to head thing appeals to my dark sensibilities.
I wouldn’t mind 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim on Switch if we are port begging Atlus games.
@jump I agree that P3 would be the better game to port over. The elephant in the room is the lack of a definitive version - FES has the full 3D map, whereas Portable has the female MC and a fully playable party. This would be a great opportunity to put all these features together into one definitive package, but the cynic in me says that they'd opt for one version over the other, perpetuating the problem.
This would be the push I need to finally start the game as well...
That said, my hope is still for P5 - simply because it's one of my favourite games of all time, and when I (inevitably) put another 100-hour playthrough into it, I'd love to take it on the go.
I agree @timleon, maybe Atlus'll do a Definitive Edition port, with QoL stuff, female protagonist, "The Answer" epilogue content all in one. Persona 4 Golden's more slam dunk because of how it was already ported to PC. And @Slowdive it would be foolish for Atlus to ignore Nintendo's huge Japanese install base, let's see if they make the right choice!
@Slowdive@jump Oh how I'd love to see Vanillaware games on Switch. They really take the Atlus concept of console exclusivity to the extreme, very rarely venturing outside of Playstation.
It's frankly bizarre that Switch doesn't have 13 Sentinels. I was honestly ready to add that to my wishlist when it first came out...until I realised it was PS4 only.
I'd like to see Odin Sphere on Switch even moreso. Sure, it has Vita-PS4 crossbuy...but the Switch's larger size has ruined me for the Vita tbh (at least when it comes to "console-quality" games; I'm totally fine with a smaller screen for games that are more typically "handheld").
@timleon I eventually just bought 13 Sentinels when it was on sale, because it's going to probably become hard to find before too awful long. I was hoping for a Switch port, but eh. VanillaWare are Sony loyalists to the bone.
I own a PS4 for the occasional game I'm interested in that just won't release on other systems, for whatever reason. 13 Sentinels is exactly the sort of game I still own a PS4 to play.
Sakura Wars' continued exclusivity surprises me a bit, though.
Started playing Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne Remastered on Switch about an hour ago.
It’s very different from SMTIV. I mean, in many ways it’s not, but it has a very different feel. It’s certainly dated (can’t wait for SMTV to push the series forward and modernize), but it’s still intriguing and entertaining nonetheless.
After seeing Rune Factory 5 footage, which didn’t look too impressive (how does it still look like a 3DS game and yet averages 25 FPS? What gives?) and sucked the wind right out of my hype sailboat, I was feeling a little down. Because that was a game very high up on my list. And I’m sure it’ll still be a great game, and hopefully they’ll patch it up a bit before the localization, but it’s like, ugh. Come on with that.
But SMT3, which wasn’t high up on my list, has suddenly enticed me, and it feels like it’s almost replaced the lost gusto from Rune Factory 5. That, combined with No No Kuni 2, Ys 9, Monster Hunter Stories 2, Neo TWEWY and Zelda Skyward Sword, and a potential Cruise ‘n Blast Switch port, has lifted my spirits.
I need that Cruise ‘n Blast. I NEED it. I’ve been wanting that game on Switch for years. Never thought it would actually happen though because they tend to keep their arcade games in the arcade.

@JaxonH Nocturne is a bit short on plot compared to IV and IV: Apocalypse, but the atmosphere, challenge, and worldbuilding are fantastic nonetheless. This was also, I believe, one of Atlus' first full 3D games. First game to introduce the press turn combat system, variations of which are in basically all their RPGs now. SMT was really nothing to write home about outside of the unique themes until Nocturne. It's a classic in every sense.
As for RF5, I'm not too worried about it. Nocturne HD was a mess at launch in Japan as well. These companies are increasingly treating the Japanese releases as soft launches while they iron out the bugs and performance issues for the more profitable worldwide release.
Ys IX, though... I'm a bit weary of that release. I really hope NIS has learned a lot from its work on previous Falcom games because, as I recall, it had performance issues even on the PS4 when it first launched in Japan.
