Lol wtf are you on
Street Fighter was funded by Sony. Everything else on your list besides Lawbreakers I guess is laughable.

YES!
YES!
Or any other console
Man, and the thing about it is that all the third party Japanese support the 3ds saw is gonna be on this. Plus Nintendo now developing for one system instead of two really makes me hope for much less software droughts than 3ds and wii u each had separately. Can't wait for proper game announcements and trailers.
Yeah, it's extremely important to note that Bethesda's lack of support before came with the bonus of them being very outspoken about their disdain for Nintendo's hardware. Likewise, From Software previously laughed at the prospect of working on the WiiU. People can shitpost all they want, but something is clearly different this time.
I'd guess that happens with Madden a year from now.
Presumably if EA is supporting Switch, they have Frostbite running on it and Madden is supposedly moving to Frostbite next year.
I for one am looking forward to The Last Guardian: Armored Edition.
I think it's meaningless until they prove it which they really haven't with either the Wii or Wii-u. I will believe it when I see actual third parties supporting the system.

Nintendo has found a case in which ports of console games from other systems is actually pretty exciting.
Fallout 4 sucked, but I might double-dip just to have a game like that on handheld if Bethesda re-releases it at some point. Any game that I liked on console is worth buying again to have it at console quality except on a handheld.

Again, Bethesda didn't just not support the WiiU (and barely with the Wii) like other publishers did. They openly shittalked the platform and made it clear that things went beyond the excuses other publishers gave.
That they not only have something big in the docket (and portable Skyrim is, in fact, big) but made it into the reveal video says that something is different here.
The real question to be asking here is whether or not things actually stay different in the long term. Not whether they will be.

Well PC doesn't clash with Sony console exclusivity, maybe the Switch can get away with a handheld loophole.
Skyrim runs on the most modest of integrated graphics these days. I don't think you can say with any certainty anything about the power of this handheld device.
I think Sony would have to somehow approve that decision.
It's on another main competitor console, it's not happening.
um not kingdom hearts becase it a disney game not a square enix game and disney not on the list

CD project red not being htere makes sense considering the power of the Switch.
Completely agree. I would double dip on something like msgv or the witcher if made for switch.

I could see this years Madden being a launch title for the Switch, depending on the ease of porting from the XB1 or PS4.
I assume they'd have to downgrade it a little bit (no idea on the Switch's power relative to the other consoles, but I'm hoping not too far off), but it would get them some easy launch lineup sales.

For some reason that I just can't put my finger on, I feel like this would damage the Capcom-Sony relationship.

Wii U had AAA ports in the beginning too. It means nothing in the long-term.
Although their next game doesn't really require any kind of specs at all.
I found this surprising. I wonder what it could be?

I love how in Nintendo third party threads it's just a bunch of people asking for years old ports. If they get more attention than Vita ports did, I'll be pretty surprised.
All I care about is new games. Then we'll see if they've put actual money and effort behind their support.

I miss Rockstar on this list 
GTA V and/or RDR2 would be awesome on Switch.

Yeah, cuz Capcom has a great history for maintaining their relationships with hardware makers with regards to exclusive games.
OH WAIT

RDR2 is going to have enough problems running on PS4/X1. The only thing that would make sense is a port of GTA games.I miss Rockstar on this list

The most positive thing from this list isn't actually any of the game partners at all, it's the list of tech partners in the bottom two rows. Full support from UE4, Unity, and all the necessary middleware library developers right up front will do far more to bring support to the platform overall than any number of tentatively-committed big publishers do.
oo people, like, just not understand that Rockstar is part of Take Two or what

I bought every Vita port of a console game that I could get my hands on. I have a ton of physical Vita games, most of them ports. MK9 in particular blew me away.
And as we all know, small sample sizes are a myth. A MYTH!

They would go under 2K, though seeing how RDR2 wasn't announce and I really don't see Rockstar doing mre with GTAV aside from online updates they won't be working on the system.I miss Rockstar on this list

Yeah, people have already forgotten that pre-Wii U release, fans were trumping the ports to the console as a "strong launch line-up". In the end it fizzled entirely because hardcore gamers had already played those games.
If you're a Nintendo fan your best hope is that this list of support you see doesn't translate to only ports.
Which is the same thing and they need to prove it, I'm completely skeptical that they will because historically Nintendo drops the ball with third parties in the last three generations.

T2 is on there so does that count?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Considering there's a PS3 version of Persona 5 available, wouldn't be surprised if Atlus announces a port of it to the Switch.
No CDPR is disappointing but not too surprising, still a pretty good looking list of developers! Now lets see if it holds up in 2 years.
GTA on the go would be pretty rad tho.

The nividia press release where they basically said they built all the major tools for tgird parties to us was the biggest win of today.
Get ready to rock! *Guilty Gear on this would be sooooo good and will probably happen since it's more than powerful enough too
Could be a port of the Tokyo game but yeah maybe Persona 5.
This year Madden was "free" on EA Access by late February, so they would have to hit the right pricepoint on the Switch version to get decent sales, or do something where you get a free update to Madden 18.

If FFXV and Persona 5 are on this I may absolutely skip on the PS4.

Sad not seeing psyonix or blizzard, Rocket League and Overwatch are games you just need to have in you console at this point, like call of duty , minecraft, madden or fifa.
