Microsoft surprised a lot of when they began releasing certain games on the Nintendo Switch. Cuphead, Ori and the Blind Forest and Super Lucky's Tale have all migrated from Xbox One to Nintendo's hybrid console.

I had previously played and loved these first two and double-dipped for Switch versions. To me, the Switch versions felt like the definitive versions as they ran just as well (if not better) than the XBO counterparts and felt at home in handheld form.

After hearing the protagonist of PlayStation's exclusive, Persona 5, was coming to Super Smash Bros, it seemed inevitable that the game would be released on Switch. After playing Persona 4 Golden, I personally believe this series is best on handhelds.

What other games feel "trapped" on the bigger machines. I'm thinking of games that could run just as well on Switch and benefit from its hybrid nature.

I would love a port of Puppeteer. It bombed hard and I think it can be given a second life on Switch. It might actually be profitable too.

 

[cireza]

Zelda on Xbox would actually be nice.

Ys IX Monstrum Nox - Switch have proven to have an audience for JRPGs.

Nioh - Since Namco isn't bringing the Dark Souls games and given Koei Tecmo's experience with Nintendo Switch.

Sea of Thieves - Honestly this would be such a great fit considering games is not demanding and it's very jolly, they need to lower the price but i'd be very interested.

Yakuza/Judgement - at least the old games, they could work well on Switch.

Tetris Effect - with Labo VR support.

[FeldMonster]

Metroid Prime on Xbox.

How Nintendo and Nintendo fans treat Metroid is a travesty. It would be an excellent addition to the Xbox ecosystem. First person, hybrid shooter/adventure, and single player.

Nintendo fans can have Ori or something similar in exchange.

Fifa Football Soccer is already on the Switch buddy.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Rachet and Clank would feel mighty fine on a Switch,

No Mans Sky.

Little Big Planet and Dreams.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

*looks at Vita library*

Yeah, pretty much all of it, since they’re effectively the exact same.

I purposely did not mention these because I knew you would.

Sign me up for the Danganronpa games.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Idk even though I don't like Crackdown 3 I think it would be a good fit on switch.

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

Little big planet would perform well on switch I think.

 

[Dhoulmagus2008]

Ratchet and clack... maybe

 

[Danjin44]

Persona 5 and Persona series overall. Long RPGs are just much better fit on Switch and Persona series are not demanding when it comes to graphics, so they would lose nothing when it goes to Switch.

 

[Mista]

Persona 5, Gravity Rush 1 & 2 and The Last Guardian

 

[LittleBusters]

I think Switch players would love Cuphead, Sea of Thieves & Ori and MS would be stupid to ever allow it.
Edit: so they already released all of those except Sea of Thieves. Why Microsoft? Why do you never learn from your blunders? Again they provide no reason to buy an XBox if you give away the crown jewels!

 

[Vawn]

The Vanillaware games would be right at home on Switch.

(Muramasa Rebirth, Dragon's Crown, Odin Sphere)

 

[brap]

What games would be better on a tiny screen with a shit resolution? None.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Tearaway.

 

[Quasicat]

I played so much of Skyrim that I would love a Fallout 3/New Vegas release on Switch. I know that Outer Worlds is coming out later this year, but I didn’t really like it compared to the Fallout titles.

 

[Gargus]

Better? None.

Switch has weaker hardware, the worst online experience, higher prices for their games in general than the same game on other systems, unless you use a pro controller switch isnt very comfortable to use and even then the button placement on a pro controller isnt the best.

Besides the switch itself doesnt somehow magically alter a game to improve it. So just being on the switch wont somehow make the game better than it was previously. If it's better it's just because the developers added more in for it.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Not for a second am I playing a PS4 exclusive on the Nintendo Switch, PS4's hardware is solid enough.

 

[Aion002]

I don't know... If I buy a switch I will always play on the tv.

This portable appeal is so weird to me...
I can't stand playing on psp or vita for long times.... I took 6 months to beat P4 Golden.... I think I would never be able to beat P5 on a portable device. Once I tried to play P4 Golden in an airplane... It felt so awkward... Playing video games outside of a home/arcade feels really unnatural to me.

So maybe Tetris Effect, for short gameplay sessions.


Now if the question was which switch game would be perfect for the Ps4, well... I would say that Astral Chain and Fire Emblem would be perfect on Ps4.

[Daxter32jak]

Microsoft Flight Simulator on a Switch Pro would be dope

Also I agree that Metroid Prime on the Xbox would be insane

Shadow of the Colossus optimized for Xbox One X would be another choice

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

GTA V.

 

[vkbest]

I can’t understand why a over 90 hours rpg can be better fit on a uncomfortable console to play. You like portability? Ok, but those games couldn’t be more fit.

switch and every portable devices are pretty bad for back, vision and hands

 

[JLB]

im not sure if “better” is the right word, but Sunset Overdrive on Switch would be nice.

 

[JLB]

GTA V.

mmm it doesnt apply to OP question though.

Switch isn't just a handheld. Swapping back and forth has been wonderful for me personally, especially in long games.

I'd like to add these Xbox 360 games:
