Imagine what is going to happen in Japan. You have all, or apparently all, of the Japanese developer that used to be exclusive to Playstation onboard with this thing. It's portable in a land of portables. It will destroy the PS4 there.

What exactly could Epic Games offer?
Paragon cross-play with PS4 and PC?
Unreal Tournament?
Fortnite?

Dark Souls 3 is the Dark Souls of Switch ports.
It have Take-Two...
They would be on that pic no matter what, because of Unreal Engine.
Really?
this was the 3DS list of partners
This proves the Switch version is a big deal. The 3DS didn't get much support from large companies not on this list.

Now that the console is revealed, ship Microsoft/Mojang their dev kits so we can get Minecraft on this thing

Yeah, if you're a developer who makes 3DS or Vita games (or games where the portable is clearly the "lead platform" like Senran Kagura Estival Versus) then jumping to NX is a no-brainer.
I would guess that a game that pushes the current PS4/XBone models to their limits like FFXV will probably be a little much for this thing, though I could be wrong. Any game that's already built to scale down to seventh-gen consoles (Persona 5) or clearly punching well below the PS4/XBone's weight (Neptunia V2, Disgaea 5) will probably do fine, though.

It's already a good sign to have seen Skyrim port, imo.

why is from software not in the thread title?
most important of these companies

To be honest I don't see any of the games you list here have "definitely" written on their face. My prediction is like:
Bethesda: TESV, Dishornored Remaster
Atlus: SMT and shitty Persona spin-offs
Capcom: More MH
EA: Maybe FIFA
WiiU got Batman Arkham City, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect 3 and Assassin's Creed 3.
It's quite telling that Nentendo use a 2011 game to showcase their western support, I don't think it will get any new releases like Dishornored 2, Watch_Dog 2 or ME Andromeda.

Portable Elder Scrolls is the biggest dream of mine. Hope for mod support.
There is this engine called Unreal Engine 4. Quite a lot of games uses it.

It's like I could see it:
-Console is released
-Some PS360 ports are released with it
-They sell like shit
-3rd parties run away from Switch like they were being chased by the devil
It's always the same story. Nintendo public don't give a f*ck about old third party games. Just remeber ME3 sales on WiiU, Assassins Creed 3 or Need For Speed.

This starting list is very good and if the Switch does take off, it'll only grow.

I hope these unprecedented partnerships work out for them.
I think they included the Skyrim port footage specifically to make this point.
I'm gonna assume Switch will only get DQ11 and other DQ console titles.
They release a list like this every gen.
It doesn't mean much.
They will all test the waters of this risky, unproven console with a game or two. If the system flops, they will quickly retract support just like with the Wii U.
Unless the system sells gangbusters, I have trouble imagining seeing Dark Souls, Kingdom Hearts, Battlefield or Red Dead Redemption 2 on here.
They didn't release a list like that for Wii U. The 3DS one was a lot smaller too.

It's fun to dream, but unless Switch performs extremely better than Wii U did at launch, I don't see third parties sticking around very long. Seeing that big list of developers reminds me of all the third party ports that launched with the Wii U and then most of that support dried up within 6 months.

Nintendo needs to court Activision to have Destiny, OverwaTch at launch. A black ops I and II remake on this would will quite well I think.
And by the end, support still became non-existent for the Wii U because the system failed.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if we see much AAA third party support for this past the first year if the system doesn't sell gangbusters.

If this thing sells, third parties should stay and increase. They want a good userbase.
Nintendo needs to give a good price for this hardware and a strong first party support. The second is a given since now their portable and home console software production should merge.

Atlus I'm expecting Persona 5. Square Enix, Dragon Quest XI, a Tokyo RPG Factory Game, and Kingdom Hearts III.
Don't know about anyone else.

Given how other than FFXV all of those use unreal engine 4 to my knowledge, I'd say ports of those aren't unlikely since it seems unreal engine 4 support is a given

You really think NXS isnt gonna get FF7R????
It's on Nintendo to make sure that all ports are up to snuff and that the online infrastructure facilitates what these games are trying to do.
So what are the major omissions here?
CD Projekt Red?

Support was non existant since before it came out. Some took advantage of trickle down advertising of a new system for quick bucks from ports, which didn't exactly pan out either.
These are my thoughts right now. I doubt Nintendo has any kind if strangle hold on this list of names, that would prevent them from jumping ship either. 2017 will be an interesting year for console generations and games.
*sad trombone*
I know what you meant.
It was my first contact with Disgaea, fell in love with the IP after that.
Instantly bought all the other games, would be nice if it came back to a Nintendo console.
