I don't think so, I think some games will be designed with the tablet in my mind such as Super Mario Maker. I think they'll market that game as making on the tablet and playing docked on the TV.

Looking up Capcom on last few Nintendo systems.
First Wii game: Resident Evil 4
First 3DS game: Super Street Fighter IV
First Wii U game: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Late port it is.

I'm interested in seeing how Capcom supports the Switch. They were a massive 3DS supporter but didn't do much on Wii U post year 1. MVC3 got a vita port and Capcom managed to put SF4 on 3DS so there's a history of them porting fighting games to portables and and the exclusivity of the MVC3 re-release ends suspiciously in march.
RE7 was rated for cartridges before Switch was officially announced and since it's being built around having VR support it should mean it can run on low end devices/scale well.
On the other hand, they did have some weird quotes about not doing direct ports and that one rumor of MH5 being on PS4 first.

Capcom don't seem to make games unless they are bankrolled by a first party or licencing partner, so I wouldn't expect much from Capcom unless Nintendo partner with them.

RE7 and MVCI are not exclusives. But yes, a lot of their titles have been just that with even the MH series being something like that.

True enough, but I can't think of many IP's out of the two you mentioned that are safe bets for an increasingly conservative Capcom. Capcom have a breadth of fantastic franchises they can exploit, but they lack the confidence to execute the marketing correctly and it seems like they can no longer absorb bombs anymore -- that coupled with the loss in talent would suggest Nintendo would have to step in to see a classic franchise come into fruition.
Because of the nature of the device (a handheld that, unlike the 3DS and the Vita to a lesser degree, fits well into the development pipeline for current games), I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch gets all of Capcom's PC/PS4/Xbox One future releases, especially in Japan. Of course, I'm excluding exclusive titles.
Resi was a port of the Gamecube game, so it wasn't particularly new on Nintendo consoles.
Ultimate came a bit earlier on WiiU than 3DS and other consoles never got the title before or after.
So, now that the year has ended and no announcements should come before the Switch event, I think it's a good time to pinpoint what third-party ports/simultaneous launch could get in 2017. So, I listed all the third-party games that aren't exclusives and from publishers that were on the official sheet. I don't think I missed anything major. I added in bold what I thought are likely or not, and feel free to quote the post to do the same.
I specifically remember saying myself, RE6 will be a good example to see how the Wii U was implemented in the 3rd party devs pipelines. It wasn't, and it quickly showed how bad it was.
I totally don't expect RE7 showing up anytime soon. But I totally expect Capcpom porting RE5 first, then 6, in the years to come.

I'll cry tears of joy if I can finally get portable Resident Evil 4.

I thought 3DS might get a port after the Mercenaries 3D and Revelations, I was wrong.

CAPCOM is one of the biggest supporters of the 3DS their Switch work will be fine.
if there are no signs of games by them we will know something is wrong

If nothing else it'll be fun to go back through that list after the event!

I think the problem with 7 is a two month delay difference, and that they were focusing on getting the best graphics possible with their framerate target on Xbox One and above, Resi7 doesnt seem to be like the most Switch port friendly game at the moment.
Yeah I agree with pretty much with LordKano's list. But for EA one game, is it official that they are developing ONE game ? They said they have a major game in dev but that don't necessarily mean we are porting one game right ? Just hope they will try harder than just one game at first

I can think of one.
I thought i was this year that was skipping AC & next year's getting one?
There's no 2.9 announced, nothing left to be remade either.
1st Injustice was on Wii U, not to mention Vita. MKvDC, MK9 & MKX probably only skipped Nintendo platforms due to their low power (MKX in particular canceled it's last-gen versions) but otherwise the MK series has had a long history on Nintendo hardware. I call it likely.
Months after it's release maybe but it's a 3-man indie team who may or may not have gotten dev kits as early as the major devs. There's a reason Sonic '17 was announced for NX & this wasn't.

Renegade Kid publicly offered to do a 3DS version for Sega, I'm sure a third party would step in to port the Switch version, heck why couldn't other Sega employees handle the port?

No More Heroes 3
Monolith is suppose to be making a game that is coming out in 2018, it was mentioned along with the XenoX port.
Portability can be a hell of a draw. I can think of many PS4 games I'd likely enjoy much more on the go (Persona 5, FFVII remake, etc)

I believe NoA closes for the holidays around December 20. Full operation should be resumed in early January. Anyway, there's this (from NoE/Nintendo UK):
I wonder if more information on the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 will be announced before or after Christmas. Additional details on the event would make for a neat gift.

It's not exclusive? I mean, I know the IP belongs to Activision and other Crash titles have appeared on multiple machines, but I could this particular game being Sony exclusive. They made a big deal out of it, and right now it's a PS4 exclusive. It would be cool to be sure, but I'm not holding my breath for a Switch release, or if there is one, it'll be a while after the PS4 version.
Wouldn't hold my breath either. That said, if there's any company that can make up missing this particular platformer, it's obviously Nintendo and their own offerings.
The PS4 isn't portable.
Lego City Undercover remaster is coming to Switch, as well as the other consoles and PC.

Well no other console had "Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition" or "Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition" either. But I was looking at them as versions of games previously released.
Because I'm buying a Switch and don't have/don't plan to have a PS4 ?
And after that we are wondering why 3rd party dev abandon Nintendo platforms !

they have normal controllers, if that's what you're worried about.

If the joycons hide L/R in the groove area that connects to the console, sure... Otherwise the controls would need to be tweaked...
Great post. Some heavy-hitters on the list. Let's see how it turns out in the end. I personally think we will have more partnerships and exclusives (Mario X Rabbids and Bayonetta 2) than multi-plats.
Still, the fact the Switch is a portable console makes the situation a bit different from previous home console entries. The January event will be a good indicator of the future.

They'll have to give us more details like the exact time of the stream and the times of the various press events around the world, so I'm certainly expecting something in December. It would be very nice if they made another trailer or teaser as a promotion for the January event too.
I want No More Heroes 3 as much as you, but I doubt it's in work right now.
It's not a PS4 exclusive at all. There's zero mention of it being an exclusive.
I wouldn't want to play games I'd play on PC on Switch too much. I play a lot of mouse interface heavy strategy games and what-not. I would, however, prefer a one-stop Nintendo/Japanese third party device that is also portable. Not going to happen completely, but the closer it comes to happening the better in my book. Moreover, as I said above, this has the potential to make PS4 more of a one-stop Sony/Japanese third party device as well. So for those consumers PS4/Switch is good too.
I mean, I just finally got a PS4 for a Sony first party game (TLG), but they aren't going to be making the ICO successors anymore anyway. I'll be getting some third party games on it in the near future, but I'd love if I could get those on Switch instead going forward. Not going to scream bloody murder if I can't, of course. It is just that where I'm at with PS post-PS2 is not the most enthused, and I wouldn't mind having less cost to cutting that out of my gaming future.
Also, as I said above, I think Switch/PS4 multiplatform, if Switch works out, is the best opportunity Japanese development has had in a long time to have maximal impact in Japan and the west with limited porting distance involved. That is a great opportunity for Japanese console gaming to try for a healthier market at home and abroad and make better games as a result.
I expect Switch to fall short of ideal and for Japan to not take full advantage of it, but the question is to how short it falls and how much advantage does Japan take.

I've said this before, but it's going to be a mutually beneficial relationship between the Switch and PS4 regarding smaller and mid-sized third-party Japanese titles (provided there's no locked down exclusivity, of course). Titles can be more easily ported between the architectures, and being close enough in power means games can be more easily scaled. There aren't any particular "gimmicks" to take advantage of/revolve a game around on the Switch, so games that may have remained on the 3DS will see PS4 versions. Likewise, games that were PS4/Vita will be available on the Switch where you get the best of both worlds and can target the handheld/mobile segment of the Japanese market, which is obviously dominant.
I don't have time to play nothing in my house.

Yeah, I think this will be the case. Vita+PS4 was a thing for a long time, with the closer parity between the two in terms of feature set and power devs can likely continue to have that similar output.
I worry if this might be a bad idea in the long run with Nintendo gaining multiplatform titles while losing more exclusives. I guess it wouldn't matter too much if Nintendo's own output can increase making up for the diminished number, though
It'll help them in Japan where they have a form factor advantage. It'll help them in the west if they can make hybrid something we want. Otherwise, it'll just help PS4.
Personally I think Nintendo first party is best first party, and I do think they have an advantage there among non-core gamers, but not sure how much someone'll buy Nintendo over Sony or Xbox for them if they aren't already buying them.
