Kingdom Hearts spin-offs released on Nintendo handhelds for years and Cloud is in Smash.

You might have point with Kingdom Hearts and Handhelds,but Cloud in Smash doesn't mean all that much.
Why?
I think FF7 is coming and Shenmue 3, FF7 due to Cloud coming to Smash bros, and Shenmue 3 I think they would want it on as many consoles as possible.
MvC maybe but if its an easy port, I dont see why Capcom would pass on it
Kingdom Heat games should come too
I Wanna Be The Guy
U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
I feel like I want portable Batman, but at the same time if you're going to ignore the best game in the series then I'm not buying it.
If you didn't tell people that Rocksteady didn't make it, Arkham Origins would have been considered the best in the series.

I think it's a dumb name. Like some sort of mobile spin-off. And it reminds me Bioshock Infinite, which I hated.
The point is, his word has already lost all its meaning when its shown off before. I'm not sure what you are even arguing about anymore or even why you should be sad, though.
Also, Super Mario 3D World got revealed and released in the span of 5 months.
Mario Galaxy released 3 years after the same team finished Donkey Kong: Jungle Blast which is again three years of development time. Oh wait.
After SM64, the team that developed Mario games got changed and Sunshine was only around 2 years in development before it had to be rushed on the market. Since then it always been the same team with roughly the same development time and we know EAD Tokyo is working on the next 3D Mario.
Hah, point taken.Mario Galaxy released 3 years after the same team finished Donkey Kong: Jungle Blast which is again three years of development time. Oh wait.
Actually i thought that EAD Tokyo used to be split in two studios, Software Development Group No. 1 and 2, which both handled the Mario series (for example SMG was made by Group 1 and SMG2 by Group 2) amongst other games, and that only recently they got reunited in one studio (EPD).
I will always call them EAD Toyko man.
They only got renamed to EPD Toyko, otherwise they are still are at least two groups though it should be more by now. At the start EAD Tokyo only had one group so that's why the first group is credited for SMG but afterwards Koizumi got promoted to the producer role and a second team got created which is essentially the same people from the previous first group.

i believe Final Fantasy 15, Kingdom Hearts 3, Dragon Quest 11, Batman Arkham VR, Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Shenmue 3, Street Fighter 5, Tekken 7, Guilty Gear
I believe Guilty Gear is 3.5
FF15 is a proprietary Square engine called luminous ( I think). It's definitely not Unreal.
- Street Fighter V isn't going to any other consoles besides PS4 unless Nintendo (or Microsoft) pays Sony a shit-ton of cash.
- You forgot Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
- GGXrd uses a heavily modified version of UE3, not UE4.
- FFXV uses the Luminous Engine.

So basically there is a chance, probably waiting for the hype and sales

Honestly, you should expect NOTHING from EA's studios.
Not surprising after how badly ME3 flopped on Wii U.
Besides maybe their sports games for the first year. Otherwise, I'm not expecting anything from them, especially after their "unprecedented partnership" with Nintendo for the Wii U.
That's a bit of a stretch. It's basically only bone scaling isn't it? (now part of UE4)
I believe ASW did an entire presentation on the changes they made to UE3. But yeah, I think bone scaling is now in UE4.

No wonder after they decided to launch only ME3 and not the trilogy on the Wii U...
Shenmue 3 is part funded by Sony, it's going to be PS4 exclusive.
We compiled a list of Japanese UE4 games earlier in the thread.
FFVIIR
KH2.8
KH3
DQXI
Tekken 7
MVC: Infinite
Let it Die
Bloodstained
4 Goddesses Online
Ace Combat 7
The bolded are the most likely to release on Switch IMO. I really wouldn't expect KH or FFVII.

At the same time, bad ports on other console still sold relatively well. It was definitely also an audience issue.

What i really wanna know about the Switch is if its gonna allow me to buy games from the Canadian switch store. I am in Mexico and made my account when i was living in Canada so since then i have been full digital and as far as i know with My nintendo, i am not able to change the country of the NNID. The Wii U/3DS accepts my mexican credit card without any issues i hope the switch does the same.
Maybe not KH2.8 but definitely KH3 when it releases. It would be foolish for Square to not release it on the Switch. But I actually think we'll see 2.8 on the Switch as well.
Bloodstained is a given at this point.
If Switch can run kingdom hearts I can't see why it wouldn't get it. Remember, Nintendo had three kingdom hearts games and Sony had three kingdom hearts games. Heck, Xbox had zero and they're still getting it.
Also Japan would buy that on a handheld over a console.

I'd bet on Kingdom Hearts coming to Switch because Square Enix have released the series on 3DS.

Best Nintendo launch line up? More like best video game console launch line up.
We won't be able to handle both of these games on day one. It would be amazing.
Now I'm imagining Kingdom Hearts characters but replaced by Donkey Kong's crew.
https://youtu.be/yhGjCzxJV3E?t=35m30s if this is the presentation you mean they're actually talking about how it could have been done years ago and no real software innovation was required... just amazing art and animation work.
I edited that out but I thought the same exact thing.
Yeah, pretty much confirmed. DQXI is as well unless they're idiots.
They've only ever released spin offs though. I wouldn't put it past SE to ignore it for a mainline game, especially when they desperately want to push PS4 in Japan.
Sports, Plants vs. Zombies and Peggle could come out on Switch. Other than that, I agree. What else is left anyway? Mass Effect and Star Wars.

Same! It would have been huge on Wii U and will be even more huge on Switch.

Mario and Zelda at launch would be so amazing. It would make the system a must buy for a lot of core gamers. This whole "many people only buy one game at launch, so it won't happen" stuff is pure nonsense. If you're buying a new video game console in March, you're the type of consumer who's going to be fine picking up two, three, or four games with your new device.
Come on Nintendo, make it happen! Make the Switch launch a huge event!
It's gotta' be coming. New Leaf is over four years old.

Nintendo competes with themselves all the time. Particularly during a console launch.
Kingdom Hearts 3 isn't going to come to the Switch.
I'd bet on it.
And the examples are?

I really would advise against putting your hopes on a March release.
There are enough sources saying it's not. Best case scenario would be EU localization taking more time and it being available first in NA, but I don't see Nintendo not having a WW release with piracy on Wii U
If DQXI is on UE4 and can run on Switch I think SE would try to get KH running on it. There's been over a decade of a growing fan base on Nintendo portables.

7 Remake is less likely, tho
If square wanted to desperately push PS4 in Japan they wouldn't have made DQXI for 3DS. Square wants to make money, that's why FF15 and KH3 were announced for Xbox back when MS dominated global console sales.
Japan is handheld territory and Switch is a handheld. If Switch can run KH3 it will be on it.
PS4 just got a barrage of great games this year and the public still isn't biting like they are elsewhere. If Switch, being a handheld, can run these games then Japanese devs are going to do their best to release these games on Switch. This is all assuming the Japanese gamers cling to Switch like they have to 3DS.
