Cloud gaming won’t become the “norm” for at least another decade, and probably longer. There are just too many countries with substandard internet speeds. Even in countries like the U.K. and U.S. there are a large portion that can’t get decent internet.
The whole idea of Microsoft thinking there’s 2 billion customers out there waiting for cloud gaming is laughable. Most of these people play free to play mobile games. They aren’t going to suddenly start playing Xbox games on the bus.
Are you trying to say that the whole world isn't just the US and UK? And furthermore, not just the super populated parts of said countries?

The Smurfs game again on PS4, Switch, XBOX ONE and PC ? 🧐
I hope the gameplay is not cheap 2D Platformer like The Smurfs 2 on PS3 / Wii / XBOX 360.
Nintendo updated the NSO info video from the September 2018 Direct again to swap SMB 35 with Pac-Man 99. As you'd expect, there's still a lot more dislikes than likes.

That’s debunked as a mistake now. Shame but I’m still slowly working my way through the collection and not even on the 3rd game yet so I wouldn’t get to Borderlands 3 any time soon anyway.
Neo: The World Ends With You is looking good too. My brother loved the first one on DS.
July release date. Man, it'd gonna be Monster Hunter Stories 2, Zelda Skyward Sword and Neo: TWEWY all back to back to back right after e3

I myself am still on Borderlands 2 and have the entire first game and Pre-Sequel (although I'll probably skip the first). So it makes no difference to me. Borderlands 2 is the gold standard and looks incredible on Switch.
Still, I would like to have the 3rd on Switch also. I hate that Claptrap is voiced by someone else, but it's Borderlands- it's still excellent.
I'm pretty sure Borderlands 3 is coming regardless, even if the rating was in error. For one, they went out of their way to release the DLC that connects the story to BL3 after Legendary Collection released. Why do that if BL3 isn't coming? And secondly, Take Two has already stated they regret not supporting Switch sooner and are looking to get on the grind now.
Only way BL3 doesn't end up on Switch is if they can't get it running with satisfactory results (which is a possibility we shouldn't discount, but I think it could be done, especially after the excellent results of the Legendary Collection).

@JaxonH If Take Two are that serious about the Switch they can start making a move on some Rockstar games. Apart from L.A. Noire (I can see the clever thing they did but no thanks) there's no nothing on Switch. Makes me half heartdly wonder if they still have a grudge from the DMA N64 days.

I'd like to believe it's the file size limitation of the Switch game cartridge that's holding things up for GTA V on Switch. But that probably isn't the case. Take Two could easily just put the single player portion of GTA V on a 32 GB cartridge and force buyers to download an application for the online portion. But if they haven't bothered to do even that much after four years then...yes, there has to be some form of post Body Harvest grudge going on.

@JaxonH@Magician I like GTA but not massively so, I would love some Red Dead and Max Payne although I imagine I'm in the minority though. I'd laugh if they did remasters of Body Harvest and Space Station Silicon Valley just for the Switch.
Maybe, it's too early to tell. Nintendo does a fairly good job of keeping the file size of their games below 16 GB. They themselves have yet to use 32 GB cartridges, never mind 64 GB cartridge. And besides, I think the combined file size of GTA V and GTA Online is over 100 GB at the moment. Even a 64 GB may be beyond consideration.

@Magician Their data compression and technical mastery of the Switch hardware is very interesting. Breath of the Wild was an absolutely huge game yet it only took up 15.5GB plus DLC.
Currently playing:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Persona 4 Golden
Dragon Quest XI S
F1 23
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
GTAV may be that large on other platforms, but on Switch it would be smaller. They could fit the base game on a 32gb cart with a download for the online MP component.
