Let's see them announcing a Trauma Center x Kid Icarus crossover that will result in some weird visual novel about eggplant.

Late Iwata wasn't kidding when he said they'd get their checkbooks out to pay for the expertise they don't have inhouse this time around.
It's super reassuring that DeNA is working on Nintendo Network and they have fucking Nvidia for the dev tools !
How you not put Monster Hunter under Capcom lol

Stellar Wii U Virtual Console support.
They have released so much of their (and Hudson's) old games... They have even created the Turbografx-16 section entirely by themselves, including the emulation software.
Oh baby, P5 on the Switch would be the bee's knees.
It would, wouldn't it?
I think a port of GTAV on Switch would show us exactly where the future of GTA games will be on other than PC and PS4/Xbone. Wouldn't Rockstar recoup all money if GTAV sold 3-5 million on Switch? I think many would love to have a portable GTAV to play just about anywhere.
Too bad that Rockstar doesn't realize that since the game is still selling like mad.

3-5 millions on switch alone? Seems doubtful to say the least...

Why couldn't it sell? Just have way lower expectations of how much it will sell because it's not fair to Nintendo they get the game years later.
I dunno, assuming even the Switch gets the same full remaster that the XBO and PS4 got, I just don't see 3-5M people paying to get a 2 year old game. I'd say the same about Skyrim, but at least that remastered version is coming out relatively close to the Switch (not that Skyrim remastered is necessarily coming to the Switch). A GTAV port could probably hit 1M though

With the supposed "leaked" tech specs, the Switch should be able to run GTA V very nicely along with some nice bells and whistles.
IMO I think Take 2/RockStar will finally take the plunge and have a port of GTA V ready for the Switch launch. If it's popular, they'll follow up with Red Dead 2 and so on.
It'd be a perfect "litmus" test for them. If GTA V didn't sell well on the Switch, then the writing on the wall would be pretty evident. And before anyone says "but it'll be a 4 year old game".....tons of Nintendo fans have been asking for Take 2/Rockstar and a GTA game for *years* as well.
Fans will have to step up and support those offerings if they want third party support, plain and simple.

GTAV on the go would be a blessing.
Fuck just playing it on my bed would be amazing or even taking a shit.

This is why doing Ports on the Switch is not a bad idea provided the price is reasonable
I really like a TMS#FE too

I see Capcom, Square Enix, Atlus, Level 5, and Ubisoft staying.
The others are a bonus.

How is GTAV stupid? That's your problem if you don't want it. I'm going to buy it since my PS3 I have no access to. This is one of the last games hardcore gamers would've expected to see on a Nintendo console. It goes some ways to help Nintendos image.
I would buy GTA V a third (or by the time maybe fourth time) on Switch and play it again.

A portable GTAV is not a waste.

Same here. Bought the 360 version. PS4 version and PC version. Would gladly buy a Nintendo Switch copy as well!

I'm not convinced GTA would be a launch game, but if the system sells well and is capable of running Red Dead I wouldn't be surprised to see Switch get it when the PC does. I feel like if they had that partnership with Rockstar already we wouldn't have gotten the Red Dead and Switch teases on the same day.
As for fan support, the Wii U had a really low userbase and the Wii was both less powerful than it's competitors (making normal ports almost impossible) and had a really odd base companies mostly never figured out. Nintendo seems to be angling the Switch as a 'second console' companion, with unique games and experiences. It won't have to come down to fans supporting third party efforts if the Switch userbase itself is larger, if that makes sense. If someone who is new to Nintendo or hasn't jumped in since the GCN, there may be a genuine market for 'I want to play Madden/Skyrim/Call of Duty on the go' as a selling point against the PS4/XB1 versions.

I remember hearing so many people say they bought the Vita (or PSTV) just for Persona 4 Golden. That makes me think Persona 5 could be a system seller to some extent.

if your talking about SFV, that isn't happening

The world should go back to barter and drop money completely...
They don't have to port it themselves. With all the money they have they can easily hire a smaller studio to do the port so they can use their resources on current projects
Here, i did that, and i don't regret it. The PS Vita with Persona 4 brought me back into the Sony ecosystem, and i'm very happy it did (Steins Gate is another game that i really enjoyed and got to play because of this)
We live in the age of remasters. Remasters are essentially graphically tweaked ports more often than not. And a good number of those remasters are of games that are even older. So I don't see how, given what is being brought to market now, the time between original release is relevant at all. If people will pay for prettier graphics, paying for portability isn't somehow a long shot.
I think its fair to give nintendo the chance to prove they'll be able to maintain most if not all of these third party partners. Recently nintendo has shown signs of trying to adapt, so until we see exactly what they have planned starting next year and beyond, it's too early for the gloom and doom.
Question does Rockstar care enough to do such a thing when they can just support online and still make 5 million sales every quarter and will sell even more just support stuff on there current platforms. Rather than supporting a system where you won't have the same audience.
Will GTAV even be big on the the go when you can't take Online on the go. Skyrim works because it sold on a huge single player experience. GTAV has both & not having one of them work on the go won't do anything for people.
They don't I bet, it not happening.

GTAV Portable is a great proposition. I would be surprised if Take Two doesn't at least put it on the table.
It might not do 3-5 mil but if Switch is a big hit, I can see it doing another mil or so on Switch
Def if they do the transfer thing they did with GTAV on PC, you could get your data from Xbox one and PS4 with your Rockstar account.
A lot of people brought it 3-4 times, heck I brought it twice PC and Xbox one, trust me people will buy it again for the portable aspect, then you have the Nintendo only people who want GTA.
I know you all love this kind of stuff so:

Those wishing for GTAV on Switch should get their hopes down.

I hope Nintendo finally has a chance to build something with 3rd parties. Nintendo might not have attempted to sway the 3rd parties in a proper way with the handling of the last few consoles, but at least they can make amends with this console!

I don't think it's thread-worthy, but I just bumped into this comment from Yves Guillemot that everyone overlooked, probably because it's in French, even though it contains an interesting sentence.
I translated it as :
I wonder what surprising game it could be

I dunno if that would surprise anyone at this point what with all of Laura's other leaks being accurate.

Very likely it seems. I feel like with a good market push and noteworthy reviews, the game could move a decent amount of units and hardware.
