TalkBack / Re: An Opening Request List For Inevitable Switch 2 Ports
« on: January 21, 2025, 01:12:37 PM »
My main focus on the Switch has been RPGs. Typically the new games that grab my interest would get a Switch version but last year I started noticing the Switch getting left out, likely because the hardware was getting old and the Switch 2 was upcoming. I first noticed it with Persona 3 Reload and then later with Visions of Mana and Metaphor: ReFantazio. It just feels like those games would be typical Switch games. So I would like to see them on the Switch 2 and based on the support Square Enix and Atlus have provided the Switch 1, I expect them to show up.
Other than that, I would like to see series that are almost fully represented on the Switch get filled up on the Switch 2, so that a Switch 2 owner could conceivably get into a franchise and have the entire series available to them across the two platforms. Outside of videogames that's typically how it works. Music converted from records to CDs and the major artists had their entire discography converted. Movies made the switch from VHS to DVD and the entire series was converted, not just like the first and fourth movies or something like that. So Symphony of the Night totally fits in there. I would like the entire Trails series as well since its reputation is that you need to play all the games in order but you can't on the Switch. There are rights issues with Cold Steel I and II that may prevent that unfortunately but it doesn't make much sense to just plop games from the middle of the series on a system if playing the earlier games is essentially required, particularly since the series wasn't originally on Nintendo systems.
