I don't even own a Switch but Persona 5R and Sakura Wars seem like no brainers on Switch. Persona has traditionally been a PS series so I don't know if there is some agreement woth Sony holding it up, but given Scramble coming to Switch I would be surprised if 5R doesn't eventually jump over.
As a PS4 owner, I'm not even excited about 5R. I don't want to play a somewhat different version of a 90 hour game I already beat. Sega needs to invest more in Atlus. They are making awesome games, but it just seems like it takes them forever to churn out console games. They haven't released a single original game on current gen: 5 was cross-gen, 5R is a remake, Mirage Sessions is a port and Catherine is a port. They used to buoy this with smaller DS and 3DS releases, but that isn't a market anymore.
I haven't played Skies since it launched in 2000 on DC. I loved it then, but even at the time the game did not have a particularly engaging battle system. It was beautiful, the characters were charming and I actually really loved ship combat and exploration. I would definitely check out a sequel, but as other people have said just seeing this game running on modern hardware would be a start. Sega really has done a poor job in exposing potential players to their work after getting out of the hardware biz. Skies should have been ported to PS2 as well, where the JRPG market was huge.
I would be really surprised if Super Mega Baseball 2 wasn't ported to Switch this summer. The first game was one of the best baseball games I've ever played. It was the right mix of light simulation with arcade-style accessibility.

Re: Nintendo Reminds Us Of 20 Exciting Games Coming To Switch In 2020 With New Infographic
I'm kind of interested in Bravely Default, but I never actually finished the first. Panzer Dragoon is the only definite buy for me.
