electricmastro Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Was interested in looking games/franchises that were never released on Nintendo systems until the Switch came along, and how they may compare with previous releases. Examples include: BioShock Borderlands Call of Juarez Catherine Commandos Crysis Dark Souls Deadly Premonition Devil May Cry Diablo Divinity Dragon's Dogma The Elder Scrolls Fallout Fear Effect Icewind Dale Kingdoms of Amalur L.A. Noire Limbo Lumines Metro Neverwinter Outlast Panzer Dragoon Payday Postal Saints Row Skullgirls Spelunky Torchlight Trials Valkyria Chronicles Wasteland The Witcher X-COM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 If we ignore handheld, and the rumor is reality, add in Grand Theft Auto. Supposedly the PS2 era games are getting an HD facelift for the system, so called fits on the cart too. We shall see in both cases, considering rockstar cheaped on their other games hard leaving them as broken physical partial files with required downloads (like LA Noire.) Not counting virtual console here with this, but Streets of Rage was new. Grandia is another with that 1+2 HD Collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 It's not a rumor anymore, it has been confirmed by Rockstar. But I would not ignore handhelds since I loved the DS game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Let's pretend that the horrible Thunder Spirits doesn't exist so we can include Thunder Force. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would not ignore handhelds since I loved the DS game. I don't either, tend to prefer them since the later 90s, but a lot of dim witted souls consider handheld games not real games or bite sized throw away games which is just so ignorant. GTA in that respect had GTA for gb/gbc, GTA2 GBC only, GTAA (basically gta 3 overhead mode 'lite') for GBA, and then chinatown wars on DS where it was before ported to mobile devices. That's why I said if we ignore handheld, I don't, but enough annoyingly do. I loathe GTA ghettodreas where you need to run as much as drive or you get a fat ass and winded/slow...would never play that. But since that pack had the best of the best too with GTA3 and Vice City I'm all up for it. I've been wanting to play those other two for years again, but they're not quite friendly on a modern PC if you have the old CDs of it. TO have it on the go and running, most excellent. My only concern is that rockstar are d-bags so far to Nintendo in that they put pieces of a game on a card, with a huge download still required to actually get the game. They're even more disgusting than people just selling a box with a waiver in it pulling that stunt. So I mean these games are old, didn't use a lot of space. Converted even with 720/900/1080 assets whatever they'd resolve to do, the games should fit on a 32GB card no problem. I could see them cheap out and just put GTA3 on there or 3+VC since the other is larger than the two. I'd have to see what they do with the release and decide from there.

Punisher5.0 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Fallout is a stretch. It's just the mobile mini type game. I'd love New Vegas or 3 on the Switch though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvgs Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I believe Katamari Damacy is another one. Even though the DS apparently had a spinoff puzzle game in Japan, it plays nothing like the core series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 You can now add Dying Light. I'm surprised they were able to get that game to run on the hardware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned above, but i was staggered at Witcher 3 being ported to the Switch. It runs really well, I think. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
