Over the past few years Switch has become a home to a wide array of quality ports from other platforms. Games from all over have made the jump to Nintendo's handheld hybrid, including smaller mobile hits, cross-console releases from a few years ago and more unexpected and recent multi-platform titles. 2020 was no exception, with some fantastic ports coming to the console, including goliath efforts like DOOM Eternal and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, excellent revamps of older games like Xenoblade Chronicles and the Metro remasters, and sensitive tailored adaptations like Jurassic World Evolution and Hypnospace Outlaw.
For the past couple of years we've looked at ports that we'd love to see arrive on Switch, and it's pleasing to look back at just how many have turned up on the console in some form or other. Below we've collected just some of the games we'd like to see come to Nintendo's system over the next twelve months. Some of them are holdovers from previous years that we've still got our fingers and toes crossed for, while others are new releases we think would compliment the Switch library perfectly.
There's still a few remaining Wii U ports that haven't arrived on Switch (which we've rounded up and evaluated elsewhere), although Super Mario 3D World is incoming in February. We're also very much looking forward to the announced Switch versions of indie classics Spelunky, Spelunky 2 and Braid in 2021.
Let's take a look at our ten biggest port-based hopes for Switch in 2021, all but one of which debuted on non-Nintendo systems.
Fall Guys
One of 2020's breakout hits, Fall Guys is a battle royale party platformer which gave players in lockdown a social outlet with its collection of chaotically fun mini-games. Our friends over at sister site Push Square loved its brand of colourful multiplayer mayhem, and 'colourful multiplayer mayhem' sure sounds like it would be right at home on a certain Nintendo console.
What are the chances?
Strong, we'd say. Following an overwhelmingly successful launch on PC and PS4, developer Mediatonic has been playing catch up while putting out content and squashing bugs. Season 3 is live at the time of writing, so provided that the makers and publisher Devolver Digital can find the time to assemble a strong build of the game for other platforms, we'd imagine the will exists even if the way is a little hazy at present.
A good FIFA game!
Zing! It's got to the point now where we've simply had enough of the 'Legacy Edition' treatment. If EA isn't going to invest in bringing the full FIFA experience to Switch, we'd really rather they didn't bother at all.
What are the chances?
Depressingly slim. We've looked before at the short-sighted chicken-and-egg situation EA has worked itself into, and despite supporting the Switch elsewhere with releases such as Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered and the upcoming Apex Legends, it clearly doesn't care about the comparative pocket change to be made from a great Switch port while FIFA Ultimate Team continues to rake in the millions elsewhere every week.
It seems our best hope is for someone else to fill the footballing void on Switch.
Outer Wilds
Yes, this featured on our wishlist last year and we're still jonesing for it on Switch. Not to be confused with the similarly named The Outer Worlds (which did come to Switch in 2020), Outer Wilds is a mysterious space-based open-world(s) FPS involving a repeating 22-minute time loop. As lovers of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, we're big fans of time loops and publisher Annapurna Interactive has a good track record of bringing games to Switch.
What are the chances?
As we said last year, Outer Wilds is built in Unity and its stylised art and lonely exploration would work well on Switch. The biggest issue against it is the workload for small dev team Mobius and 2020 probably didn't help in that regard. We're still hopeful, though.
Bugsnax
One of the light-hearted highlights of the year for Playstation owners, Bugsnax is a delightful first-person bug-hunting adventure with a surreal (and marginally horrific) edge and a whiff of the Pokémon Snaps about it. If nothing else, its catchy theme song from Kero Kero Bonito is worth the price of admission and we'd love to hear it on Switch.
So, are we talkin' 'bout Bugsnax on Switch?
Maybe. Indie studio Young Horses may have signed up with Sony to make Bugsnax a PS launch exclusive, but as far as we're aware there's nothing to stop the game coming to other platforms at a later date. Performance was a little choppy on PS4, but given the appropriate care and attention a Switch version is well within the realms of possibility.
It's tough to argue that its colourful creatures wouldn't fit very snugly on Nintendo hardware, no? Nintendo gamers also can't get enough of catching catalogues of cute creatures.
Persona 5
There's a fantastic library of JRPGs on Switch, and Joker's inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate led us to believe that Persona 5 on Switch was a mere formality — perhaps a release of Persona 5 Royal with extra content? But no, next April will mark the game's fourth anniversary in the West and Persona 5 is still not available on a Nintendo system.
Yes, yes, we're getting Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, a Musou crossover (and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity turned out very well), but it's no substitute for the dripping style of the original. Come on, Atlus!
What are the chances?
10%? Err..., 90%? It feels like a no-brainer, but we've given up trying to pin down Atlus and parent company Sega on things like 'logic'. Remember, Persona 5 came out on PlayStation 3, so Switch could 'handle' P5 just fine. Not putting out a Switch port feels like Sega is leaving a big fat wad of cash just sitting on the table.
Speaking of Sega...

I'd take a Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, and while we're talking about Final Fantasy, I'd love to see XI on there, but that will never happen.
I've always wanted to play Nier
Not the most original but Xenoblade Chronicles X is something Nintendo could do a great job with, especially if they ask MONOLITHSOFT to develop it themselves. Their care and attention to even minute details means they could make a great port, and even some extra story or side content.
I feel like most of these will never happen. I especially cannot see Yakuza 7 appearing on Switch. I would certainly buy it if it was available however.
Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates Ports Please!
@Miyamotosan Oh man I'd love the XIII trilogy, only FF games (outside Dissidia) I adored and went back to time and again.
Chances of it happening are near zero though.
Ah, NieR: Automata. What I would give to play my 2017 GOTY on my Switch...
I'd also like to see Vanillaware's games make the Switch as well.
Oh, and Yoshi's Woolly World (with both 2-player co-op and portability) and NES Remix 1 and 2 as well.
Pretty much any port is possible with streaming.
Though I prefer when they build the port for the Switch itself.
Uhm. 30th anniversary for Metroid? If it first released in 1986 then it's been 35 years, not 30.
Anyway. I'd like Tony Hawk, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Fall Guys the most out of these. Otherwise I'd like Paper Mario TTYD if Nintendo keeps refusing to make new good entries. Maybe a Paper Mario Trilogy thing with three first three games.
@Yosher That's what I wrote: 35. Yep, definitely — nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
Gears Of War trilogy please, plus Halo. Then - of course - Resident Evil 7, push the system, don't stream it.
uh. A good FIFA game won't happen at all.
@Lordplops re7 won't come to switch.
@nintendolife did u all hear about Fatal Frame news lately. Make an article about that
I can see ports of ffvii remake, Metroid prime as well as Samus returns, maybe link between worlds, zelda games, and hopefully a surprise Mario galaxy 2. But those would all make sense and we will maybe get one of the above.
@Lordplops Microsoft won't put Halo on a rival platform. then it is a less reason for a pc or xbox
These sound great but I don't want cloud or stream versions.
No GTA V port? No Call of Duty port? No Dishonored port?
@Donutman I think the TP and WW HD ports from the Wii U will happen.
I hope to see XCX, Maiden of Black Water come to switch as well
Every year is a good year to ask for literally anything for Fallout, including 3, New Vegas, and/or Fallout 4. Dishonored at the very least. Rare Replay? Twilight Princess HD? Wind Waker HD? All a little more deserving than a "good FIFA game," which realistically doesn't exist on any platform.
I think its a matter of when, not if, for Bugsnax, Fall Guys, and even Crash 4. Not holding my breath for Persona or Yakuza...it still seems like Sega does not want to scale these games down for a nintendo console. We'll keep getting stuff like Persona Soccer or Yakuza Racing or whatever tho
Still dreaming about persona 5 are we? 😂
I'd love to see fallout 4 goty come to switch
1. Fallout 3 and New Vegas and maybe 4 IF they manage to put the whole game on the cartridge!
2. Batman Arkham Series
3. Elder Scrolls 3 and 4
I reckon Konami are going big on Switch next year and will bring a few of their franchises over. As new games or collections They have the Christmas number one in Japan, so surely must see an opportunity.
fall guys and Bugsnax could make it onto switch
@Crockin But P5 is a ps3 game. 😧 I don't know why Sega won't port it but that can't be it. I've given up on it, personally.
I'd love GTA Vice City, SA since they're already ported to mobile...
Fall Guys, P5, Nier Automata, TP, WW, Maiden of Black Water, and XCX is all we need
I just want persona 5 and nier automata(and replicant). I hope they happen.
Nintendo Life used port begging! It’s not very effective...
All the remaining Ace Attorney games, a bunch of old Star Wars games and the Metroid Prime trilogy and I’ll be happy!
Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword!
And with, you know, reworked controls because I hated the controls for it on the Wii...
If just looking at gameplay
Yakuza like a Dragon and Persona 5 should be on Switch. They would make fantastic Switch games.
Persona 5 looked fine on PS3 and Yakuza just needs a better engine.
I would also put Aegis Rim on that list (one of my fav games on 2020). It is backwards to put it on a home console and not something like the Switch.
ghost of tsushima
That Yakuza game looks proper mental 😆👍
Definitely would buy
@Aerona true. There's also a chance that it's a licensing situation.
cant see why they couldnt port personna 5
I want PES on switch.
Frostbite engine doesn't run on switch and can't work well at all so no chance of a good FIFA game.
PES on the other hand will most likely come to switch. It will be more successful than FIFA for sure on switch.
I'd be down for Persona 5 on Switch for sure. I've put hundreds of hours into that game but what's a hundred more?
Why use a header that has Ichiban front and center when there's not going to be even a mention of the Yakuza series?
Have your ill-earned click I guess.
Fallout new Vegas should be doable. I personally would love to see the Perfect Dark remaster that came out for Xbox 360. That game is still the gold standard for FPS games. So Rare Replay would be nice.
Furthermore I would like to see Lufia 2 for SNES online.
If they then release MGS 1, 2 and 3, I won’t need any more games on Switch 😉
@dartmonkey "We're not fans of the time-limited marketing tactic, but it's not like we wouldn't snap up a Prime Trilogy compilation the second it released, is it?"
I need Tony. Need.
@Pirate1 You are clearly joking right?
Nobody wants TEKKEN 7!
It’s pointless talking anything Sega related.
I’d really like the Metroid trilogy as I’ve never played Metroid, be great to see what it’s all about and familiarise myself with it, with Metroid prime 4 on the horizon
@Aerona best game of all time if you ask me.
If you have a PC, PS, or XBox, by all means nab it!
Forget FIFA and just give us PES.
I also think we should stop hoping for the Metriod Prime Trilogy as it's not going to happen,and by the long delay and restart of number 4 I wouldn't get my Hope's up either.
I for one cant stand cloud gaming so unless we get proper versions of the Resi remakes they shouldn't bother.
@Pirate1
More likely ghost in a shell
I would absolutely love for the Tony Hawk and Metroid Prime trilogy games to come to the Nintendo Switch.
If P5 or Nier ever come to Switch, I'll just buy them and play them again lol.
Also MP Trilogy is a Day1 buy no doubt!
I say Persona 5 is going to happen and soon.
Persona, NieR and Yakuza (plus Danganronpa) will NEVER coming on a Nintendo console.
I wants Persona + NierR:Automate on Switch that badly but I has now accepted that I had to buying a PS4 to playing them.
They're gonna to milking Persona 5 into death again on PS5, like with GTAV on PS3, PS3 and again on PS5, and then on PS6 etc, and Sony will continue to forcing SEGA just focusing on PS consoles even if SEGA goes under from it. NieR is a too important title for PS-consoles in Japan.
Danganronpa will also never be coming on a Nintendo console ever, why? Just check out for yourselves, the devs of the game is a huge ****-fanboys and even bigger ********-hater sadly.
Bamco is a trashy and terrible company, just a huge bunch of lousy last-last-generation ports on Switch and some Japan exclusive games as evaluation, and still not enough yet. They still refuses to release a never game on Switch. Just forget a new Tales game on Switch then despite the upcoming anniversary. Our only hope is Capcom. I think that they'll release a lot of games on Switch in the future from here and now.
Perhaps the insane success of Momotaro Dentetsu in Japan is changing Konami too, 1.500.000 and continuing in sales for a full-priced budget game in just Japan is incredible. But Konami is always Konami in the end...
It's so strange that many bigger Japanese devs "refuses" to release anything good on Switch, despite its insane sales, just wonder why....? But of course the real reason is sooo obvious.
I got deja vu from looking at this list and yep majority of the entries were on last year's list.
Haha, mentioning "Shenmue" when talking about "Like a Dragon" reminds me of the "honest trailer" for the Yakuza Series. At the end, when they give the game it's "honest" title they went with:
"Shenmue. But good"
I laughed for quite some time
@ozwally Super Meteoid is on NSO, get stuck in as that's one of the best games in the series.
I would like to see the Dishonored Trilogy come across to switch along with a decent online shooter (some great ones form the 360 era would port over well - BF: Bad Company 2, Titanfall or CoD MW2).
Hopefully Nintendo drops the Prime trilogy and a few Zelda ports next year as well
“So, what are the chances this year?
Onion. Poodle. Wet wipe. Words...”
This had me in stitches. Love it
I would say port ALL the SMT games, but I think they have a contract for most Persona games.
I would like Metroid Other M. Never played it but gameplay looks fun.
Zelda Twilight Princess is a port I would like. Haven't played it since the Game Cube.
Metroid Prime Trilogy and Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn collection seeing as you can continue your game into RD
A Skies of Arcadia sequel or prequel or remastered would be great. Sega needs to know that this game would do well.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life as a King/Darklord
FFCC Ring of Fates
FFCC Echoes of Time
FFCC The Crystal Bearers
Fantasy Life (either a port or a new title)
Ever Oasis (either a port or new title)
LOZ Oracle of Seasons/Ages (remastered)
There are probably others, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Edit: Skies of Arcadia Legends (as others have mentioned as well)
Crash 4 please.
After seeing various FPS games being ported to the Switch, many of which run very well in terms of STABLE frame rate and online servers (especially Overwatch, being another Activision Blizzard game), I would like to see Call of Duty make its return to Nintendo consoles. It's definitely not a realistic possibility, considering they seem to prioritize on hardware, but it'll be nice to see more variety in the FPS games.
@LinkSword
Page 2 mate
@Vsaxo27 Other M gets a lot of hate because of the cheesy dialogue, which I won’t argue. But the gameplay is great and holds up even today - the Wiimote truly is something special when used properly.
Arkham City. I've played it tons on the PC, but I would love to have that game on my Switch.
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Ridge Racer (port or collection)
A proper Burnout
PES
GTA V
Out Run 2/Daytona/Scud Race etc
Fallout 3
All the old Rayman games
For every one asking for GTA V, I think they should make a GTA game exclusively for the Switch. Kind of like the Gameboy/GBA days. That way we get a game that will run 100% solid on the Switch.
As far as a Port I'd like to see.. at least the first 2 Klonoa games. I feel like that franchise definitely doesn't get enough love OR a Sega Dreamcast collection would be amazing! The Sonic Adventures, Crazy Taxi, the Power Stones.. ect.
@Qphlat27 "For every one asking for GTA V, I think they should make a GTA game exclusively for the Switch."
I like this answer. Although if there was a GTA game ported to Switch, I would love it to be Chinatown Wars simply because that's my all-time favorite GTA. Not sure how they could make touchscreen stuff work when the Switch is docked. Perhaps make it handheld only? Better yet, how about a Chinatown Wars sequel using the same top-down style!
@Screen
Also Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
My wishlist for Switch ports: Breath of Fire III, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (I and II), Xenoblade Chronicles X, Metroid Trilogy. In that order.
I feel like this list should have more games the Switch can actually run. I feel like Nier and Like a Dragon would make the system explode.
I could see a port of the wiiu yakuza games and perhaps ports of the ps3 games though.
I would personally like to see sleeping dogs and muramasa get ported. And any soul calibur. Actually if sega wants to port vf5fs I wont say no.
@theJGG I'd LOVE a XCX port on Switch. It's top of my ports wishlist these days.
My wish is for the original Dead Rising 😷 Or Dark Souls 2 SotFS perhaps, but seeing how shoddily they treated the first game...maybe not.
I have a long long list of titles I'd love seeing ported to Switch, but for next year a complete Zelda Collection would do anyway. That's totally feasible in my opinion, and it would be great to have it in physical edition for the 35th anniversary.
About non-Nintendo titles, I have a preference for the Monkey Island series.
No Man' Sky anyone?
a Red Dead game would also be excellent.
"What other games across platforms would you like to see on Nintendo's console?"
Oh, is it the time for my recurrent shameless Final Fantasy XIII plug already?😜
The trilogy still tops my #portbegging wishlist, closely followed by stuff like Dishonored, Xenoblade X, Watch Dogs (or anything driveable and open-world from Ubisoft, a rare company whose driving open-worlders seem to have actually heard of cockpit view), Eternal Sonata, a truckload of Tales and the entire tri-Ace catalogue beyond SOFD... and the list goes on and on and on. It's always easier to say what I wouldn't want ported to Switch. Bring them on, as many as can happen.
I would happily pass on every game on this list if we could have Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch.
The Sims 4 !!!
Nintendo Switch without The Sims games is a crime.
Main game i am looking forward to next year is Mechwarrior 5 console edition. Practically no chance of a Switch Port, but i can still dream.
GTA 5 would be great but i really think at this point, it's quite clear that Rockstar never actually had any intention of putting any support or effort on any Nintendo platform.
Gave us a token old badly ported game more than 3 years ago just to say "look we did it and they didn't buy it".
Kinda disappointed in them for not putting more effort on the system, the install base is there and GTA 5 on the go would easily shift a few million games and even a few million consoles - that game on Switch would definitely bring in more buyers.
Anyway it's a fantasy at this stage, definitely will not happen.
@ChaosBadger777 thanks, I’ll get that downloaded
Many of the titles I would like to see parted over are listed above (especially all the Metroid games). I have a few more i haven’t seen though:
I would love to see Portal and Portal 2 on Switch, and Team Fortress 2 would be amazing as well.
If those titles above mentioned aren’t asking for too much I would also love to see Advance Wars (all of them, even Days of Ruin which I greatly enjoyed) ported over as well. I would be perfectly happy with a new game of Advance Wars.
Finally a port of Yoshi’s Woolly World would also be amazing.
Just give me a port of Capcoms Alien Vs Predator
Persona 4: Golden too! It just got a Steam release recently, I'd love to play it on Switch!
Give me Burnout 3, Portal, RDR, Fable 2, Crackdown, Hunters 2 (from the Warhammer Quest guys - on iOS), and Elder Scrolls Online and I will be a very happy Switch owner.
And yes several reasons why especially the last one might not happen, but one can dream 😅
I would love to see the batman arkham games and valve games for the switch one day
Persona 5 is the only thing on that list that interested me.
I wanna see ninja gaiden triology, and a fatal frame collection. Most likely gonna happen next year anyway.
@theJGG I would be shocked if they never did a no effort port of Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Switch.
New Yakuza run on 900p/60fps on Xbox Series S. Now Xbox Series S got basically the same CPU as Series X. Don't think they can squeeze it to run 720p/30fps on Switch
P.S: Where is GTA V?
Metroid Prime Trilogy for 35th anniversary maybe?
I really hope Metroid Prime 4 is a placeholder name, especially if Trilogy never gets ported
Switch game port alway been hot topic )
P/s: about Atlus/ Sega, no-brainer is so damn true
@GrailUK I would kill for that to happen. I would adore Metal Gear, non-linear Castlevanias, Goemon, Suidoken, Adventure Island, Bonk, and especially the Konami WiiWare games on Switch, and with Konami seeming taking an actual interest in the industry again, those might finally happen.
boy would I love to play tony hawk and metroid prime trilogy. U can keep the rest.
-Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4 package
-Metroid Prime Trilogy
There are other trivial ports I could add but honestly what more would one need than this?
Third Party ports that should morally happen: Rare Replay Collection and the Rogue Squadron trilogy. That's all.
First Party ports that should happen at some point: Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Samus Returns, Zelda Wii U titles, Luigi's Mansion 1&2, and all the other good stuff on the 3DS that deserves HD.
Even with all the drama around it I’m still surprised no one has mentioned Cyberpunk. So I’d like to see Cyberpunk if only to give the base PS4 and Xbox one something to feel superior about (plus I’d be curious to see how low tech they could take it).
Been wanting to play Madden NFL franchise mode on the Switch since launch and it's ridiculous that it still hasn't happened. EA doesn't even update the game! It can't be that hard to port!
Fall Guys would be a fantastic addition to the Switch!
Unless Persona 5 was made like the contract stipulates it can only ever be on PS3/PS4 then this is literally just Japanese companies being allergic to money.
Oh that console that's doing really well in Japan and the rest of the world too? Nah let's not make some extra money off that.
I still don't think it's a good idea to port "Metroid Prime Trilogy" to the Switch, as it'll wind up with an inferior control scheme due to needing to work around the lack of sensor bar on the Switch or going back to the archaic GameCube control scheme.
Besides, most Metroid fans already have the games through either the Wii trilogy release or the individual game releases on GameCube and Wii, and if you don't it's not hard to find cheap used copies of the individual releases (although that does mean you're still stuck with the GameCube controls for the first 2 games).
@shoeses What no effort port of XCX? Aside from the usual work needed with the Wii U ports to fit the Switch's architecture, they'd also have to rework the map system. The game is much better on the Wii U, as you basically need constant access to the map on the second screen.
Yakuza needs a series x to even hit 60fps. I'm afraid the draw distance would have to be almost nothing. It is one of the best RPGs of 2020 though and I'm honestly blown away at how it matches persona in style and gameplay.
I think Fallguys is the only game from this list that we have a chance of seeing on the Switch.... besides Metroid Prime Trilogy.
I know there are a fair number of people that would love a switch port of crash 4... it’s a pretty good!
@Agramonte Insisting the Switch isn't a home console for the 37th comment in a row hasn't brought your newest hot take talking point any closer to being true.
Y’all already know what I’m gonna say... but we NEED Danganronpa on switch!
I don't see why Capcom doesn't just port the GCN versions of RE2 & RE3 to Switch.
Sees Yakuza Like a Dragon
Yes please!
Also it will NEVER happen.
If Sega doesn't want to port Persona 3,4,5 to Switch why the h*** would they try to port a more technically difficult game?
You know it's not a TRUE port whishlist if you don't have Persona 5 and Nier Automata in it
A c'mon - Yakuza Like A Dragon is my personal GOTY - That game is so frkn great - Humor, Story - but.... The performance sucks on XBOX One and even on One X(!) - It even has only 30fps + Slowdowns / Lag on One X. idk about the ps4 / ps4 pro versions from the game, but since the one x was the most powerful console of last generation, i don't think it would run much better on ps4 consoles.
This game needs Xbox Series to run perfectly fine - I've upgraded to Series S 2 weeks ago - now this game has stable 60fps without stutter/lag. In other words ...When this game cannot even run on One X propper, how would this ever going to run on Switch? xD
It would only be possible, if they made it a streaming title, like "Control". But since Yakuza like a dragon is a REAL 18+ Game, with a lot of sexual humor - i don't think this game will ever make it to a nintendo console ;D
@shoeses Could see them adding a new continent, OR two or three new non-playable party members (like Alexa, or Hope) OR a playable epilogue that explains the unfairly ambiguous ending.
Forget the new Tony Hawk games, give us an update of the GBA ones.
Out of these picks, I am really hoping for Fall Guys, Persona 5, NieR:AutoMata, and Metroid Prime Trilogy.
I was also REALLY expecting Danganronpa Trilogy to come to Switch this year... and it didn’t. So, hoping for that, too.
I really really want Parodius on Switch! And Wars! Advance Wars, Famicom Wars (I know it's on the Famicom online app, and I've played it many hours, but I'd love to see it translated to English), Super Famicom Wars, Gameboy Wars, please! The Art Style games would be awesome. Lots of DSI ware and wiiware games need to come to Switch! Oh, and Battle Garegga! M2 will hopefully bring that awesome PS4 version to Switch! The rest of the Compile catalog, please! Just keep bringing awesome shootem ups to Switch! I'd like to have Party Golf 2 with online multiplayer!
The port begging for 2021 is starting strong. Bugsnax is also not an exclusive, it launched day 1 on PC, PS4 and PS5.
Nobody asked for the Stalker games yet? I know they are interested, but need a porting party.
Also: Halo Spartan strike was a nice twin sick shooter on mobile. Not gonna happen.
Then Infinity Blade trilogy would bring interesting gameplay when done with joy con. But now Epic and Chair have fortnite, so r.i.p.
@theJGG Oh I'm not saying they couldn't add content, just wouldn't be surprised if it was a completely unaltered port, like pretty much every Wii U port that wasn't MK8 DX.
I would love Yakuza on Switch. If we could just have the two ports that were on Wii U I’d certainly buy them.
My list includes the usual suspects:
Persona 4 Golden and 5
NieR: Automata
Vanquish
Beyond Good & Evil/Sands of Time HD Bundle
However, my biggest game is actually Resonance of Fate. Seems perfect for the Switch, a flawed JRPG that the Switches portability could make better. The Last Remnant, Dragons Dogma, the Switch has fixed lots of broken JRPGs, and Resonance of Fate is number 1 on my list of cult classics to revisit since I doing have the time to sit in front of a TV anymore.
Punch out Wii and Goldeneye reloaded
@JimmySpades For tons of people it is not (like myself) and contradicting me for the 37th time wins you the waste of time award.
And not even my point. Aegis Rim has no need for the power of even a PS4. So makes no sense to be tied to it.
@thehoppypoppy
Yeah that one too!
I want a Xenoblade X port for Switch in 2021
😂😂😂😂 P5 .... I knew it would be in there somewhere
Conduit I & II HD
Would love to see the Sims 4 or something ported over but we all know that's never going to happen. Perhaps another company would be open to making something like it? :/ Quite enjoyed two point hospital so maybe they'd be up for the game. On another note, some Pokémon remakes, style savvy or some Lego LOTR/Hobbit ports please Nintendo!
A Metroid Prime collection would be better than just a trilogy.
And I want to see more Star Wars games on Switch, new and classic.
I'm all for Persona 5 (Royal pls) on Switch because I'm always more likely to play things on my Switch, but if that's really too much to ask for some reason I also want a port of Persona 4 Golden and that would be far better than nothing.
@Miyamotosan I suppose there's a slim chance XI could see a Japanese release, though still unlikely. XIII is more likely but since it's kind of maligned and unpopular, it's probably not at the top of their priority list. Still, Square needs some filler content for the next few years and they've released plenty of other FF games in general on Switch.
@BeyondKnight This. I'd pass on virtually all of the third party games on this list for some Xenoblade X, Wind Waker and/or some other great Nintendo titles. Not that I don't like the third party stuff, but I already have all the ones I want playable on PC or PS4/5 anyway. I'd rather see stuff that won't come to other consoles I own.
1) Far Cry 3
2) Far Cry 4
3) Watch Dogs
Just a hopeless dream, I suspect! But Ubisoft has ported across their old AC games, so who knows? Having these games on the Switch would really cement it as my favourite console!
Some people say that FPS games don't work well on the Switch, but there have been a number of successful FPS games games now (I'm mainly thinking of Doom and Wolfenstein). Also, nobody has ever explained WHY they think it wouldn't work. It just seems to be a mantra now. What is it about handheld gaming that wouldn't work with an FPS? I reckon playing in handheld with gyro aiming sounds awesome!
A remastered F1 2013, with more classic races from more eras would be genuinely awesome.
A good WWE 2K game.
2k/Yukes should have used WWE 2K17 as the basis for the switch version. It never had a story mode, only the dlc which came later, and only the ps4/XOne had the MyCareer exclusive. It would have made much sense to reskin and add to that engine rather than try to get 2K19 running on the Switch.
