What 3rd party games do you feel need to come to the Switch for you to feel like its being supported well enough?

The constant complaint about Nintendo is that 3rd parties have abandoned the company, who needs to come back?

A strong EA presence would be a good start.

If I could get GTA, Madden, and a baseball sim (i.e. not RBI baseball) then I would be pretty satisfied to go along with the Nintendo titles. I'm somewhat encouraged by the inclusion of FIFA and NBA 2K for this year. Hopefully they are complete versions of the titles and not bare bones.

My job includes international travel a couple of times a year. If I have any of these titles available then the flights would be a piece of cake and would literally "fly by."

The Switch isn't powerful enough for straight ports of Xbox One and PS4 titles. It needs third party exclusives like the Wii and the 3DS.

I'll be satisfied with Ninetendo games, but if rockstar gets on board with GTA and Red Dead I'd be like, supersatisfied.

Also a racing game would be great, but lack of analog triggers seems like it could be a problem. There's always the sticks but I've always had a tough time using them to feather the throttle/brake.

Anyone know what the deal is with gran turismo and forza sticking to PS and Xbox, respectively? Aren't they both 3rd party? Why isn't each game made available for both consoles?

shooters, wrasslin and sports for most people


I just want more Nintendo games big and small plus some cool third party exclusives and some good ports here and there.

that would also mean those 3ds games like luigi's mansion dark moon, kid Icarus as well as the big AAA games like Zelda and Mario odyssey.

I most definitely want a gamecube VC and I don't want that black screen on the side shite.

I don't have a switch but I'll pick one up eventually. I don't care about the big, graphically intensive AAA games not coming to switch because those aren't games I want to experience on a portable system anyway, regardless of whether they could make a switch version that could run them. I just wish Nintendo would do what's necessary to get in bed with the games that can run on switch and don't need to be significantly scaled down. Because as of recently, it hasn't just been hardware restraints that have limited the nintendo 3rd party support, it's been nintendo being difficult to work with.

The Nintendo Switch will not get ports of AAA Action/Adventure/FPS titles. The attention of 3rd Parties would be nice, but I'm not sure it's necessary at this level. I think if they produced something they would put on the Vita+Maybe attempt to make something new to the Switch+make sure mobile accessible games work as well (Like older GTA's) that would be fine.

I do think Sports Games would be great for the States (FIFA's a good start, but I want the rest), and the JRPG companies are the #2 need to come back.

Both of those have a lot of titles that can be cross platform.

Would love love love if the original Mana trilogy came to the States. Finally being able to play SOM3 on something other than a computer would be great. It does kinda sorta suck that it's re-branded Final Fantasy Adventure Game Boy version of SOM1 instead of the Sword of Mana remake on Game Boy Advance though.
