that yellow Switch is looking pretty hot RN! Not an overly bright yellow, just right. All you Switch owners are gonna be dropping some dough on these special editions.

[FunAndGun]

I'm not in the market for a Switch, but that yellow is hot!

[Razzer]

Zak and Wiki would be awesome on Switch, imo.

[StormLegend]

That's a terrible list! IMO
I want
Skyward Sword
SSB
Mario galaxy
Paper Mario color splash
Hyrule Warriors

[Gambloid]

Agreed. I didn't pickup many games for the wii u. So hopefully we'll see some decent ports for the switch.

[Razuel]

Uff....that is a sad list of games

@gbsr

Maybe to someone who's narrow-minded enough to let their entire gaming life revolve solely around the latest AAA third party, no matter how overhyped it turns out to be.

For open-minded gamers, however, there's a lot of games to love there.

[Mexxan]

Porting will damage the SWITCH. New ip's or fresh titles from the staples.
I don't want the first couple of years to be filled with 2-3 old games like now.

[_-EDMIX-_]

orrrrr both.

Wii got ports too bud, so did Wii U.

Switch will be fine with ports.

They will get both. This isn't an either or

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

First time in a while we're on the same page.
Squeenix and Bandai-Namco, at least, are going to be good about bringing interesting titles to Switch, both new and old.

[GordonKnight]

Didn't hurt the X1 or PS4. They could've done more with MK8, but I'm excited to play that game one the go like MK7.

[The 10th Rider]

Give us a "Wii replay" of sorts with some hidden Wii gems made by Nintendo, like Punch Out, Excitebots, Sin and Punishment, and Rhythm Heaven in 1080p 60fps for $60. It's be well worth it.

[Kitt92]

Skyward sword would be pretty great on switch

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Yeah I hope Xenoblade Chronicles makes its way over to the Switch. I still have my Wii but I missed out on that game.

[Bronxs15]

Why? They would only look marginally better. This list of games should be ported out of Nintendo hardware and onto PlayStation/Xbox so maximum number of people can enjoy them. Since 1 the games are hindered by Nintendo hardware and 2 desire for Nintendo systems have shown the trend of waning over time only exception was the Wii which sold to a larger audience including seniors and soccer moms. Nothing wrong with that by the way.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

No.
Get that anti-Nintendo idea out of here, quit judging game quality by graphics, and support the hardware that the software is meant to play on.
Either that, or play the fair balance by asking for all exclusives to become multiplats for every system. Not that that would help prevent an eventual monopoly of market share in the long run, but it's still a less crappy idea than Nintendo going Sega.

[Bronxs15]

Problem with what you say is probably other exclusives are too advanced to run on switch hardware. Other exclusives maximize hardware to make great games. Switch exclusives also maximize hardware but while other hardware can easily handle what switch does. Switch can't handle what they do.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

There's no problem with it if Nintendo's next system is stronger, or if future games don't cater to graphics to the point that they can't fit on all consoles.
But no, why would you want anything like that? It would benefit Nintendo, after all.
Noooo, it should only be Nintendo giving up on hardware and moving into nothing but software, despite the fact that PS4 and XB1 are also inferior compared to gaming PC's and, by your own weak hardware logic, should also be dropping out.*eyeroll*

Look, just stop port begging and accept that giving up on hardware, especially when the Switch is doing well and still has tons of games in the pipeline, to try and sell games like Splatoon to hoards that only pay attention to games like Mass Effect and Battlefield, is a terrible thing to ask for, and a waste of Nintendo's time.

In a perfect world, Sony and Microsoft would only do PC games right alongside Nintendo, maybe with some brand name deals to supplement the lack of profits from hardware, and there still, miraculously, wouldn't be any danger of a monopoly at any point.
But it's not a perfect world, and each console, in this reality, deserves to be given a chance for their exclusives.
