Nintendo is one of the most prominent and oldest gaming companies around. Many of the games that stemmed from Nintendo are now locked on PlayStation. They might be locked due to licensing or trademark problems. TheNintendo Switchproves Nintendo still knows how to make games. However, the company needs to get back some of its leading franchises.

Alien Isolation,The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,BioShock: The Collection,andDoomwere allported to the Switch.We could go on for days about PlayStation games that need the port treatment. Let’s take a look at which could happen and make the most impact.
10Marvel’s Spider-Man
It’s time for Spidey to come back to a Nintendo platform. The firstSpider-Mangame published by Activision wasreleased for the Nintendo 64,among other platforms back in 2000. We’ve seen several on handheld systems like the Game Boy and DS. Sony may own the rights toSpider-Man, but that hasn’t stopped them from breaking their exclusivity rule in the past. Hopefully, Spider-Man can make his long-awaited return to a Nintendo platform on the Nintendo Switch.
9Monster Hunter World
The Nintendo Switch isno stranger to JRPGs,so it seems strange thatMonster Hunter Worldis not already on the platform. Games likeMonster Hunter Generations Ultimatealready appear on the Nintendo Switch. WithMonster Hunter Rise’s announcementcomes a lot of speculation whetherMonster Hunter Worldwill come to Nintendo Switch. The game may suffer from performance issues on the platform, but they could downgrade the visuals as has been done with many other games.
8Bloodborne
Now thatDark Souls Remastered,a technically more impressive game, has released for the Nintendo Switch, it opens up a realm of possibilities.Developer FromSoftware’s next foray into the Nintendo worldshould beBloodborne.The one reason we hate and love PlayStation is that its games remain exclusives. It could be time to switch the status quo by bringingBloodborneto the Nintendo Switch.
7Persona 5 Royal
TheShin Megami Tenseifranchise, the franchise that spawned thePersonasub-series, is expected to come to the Nintendo Switch.Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne will be releasing for the platform sometime in 2021.

With all the buzz surrounding Nintendo Switch releases from theShin Megami Tenseifranchise, when willPersona 5 Royalcome to Switch?Typically,Personagames only release on PlayStation.Now that the sub-series is gaining worldwide popularity, now is the best time to bring the instant-classic to the Switch.
6The Last Of Us Remastered
This one might seem like a stretch, but it can’t hurt to reach for the stars, hoping thatThe Last of Us Remasteredcomes to Nintendo Switch. The originalThe Last of Usis a PlayStation exclusive that was released in 2013. It’s been over seven years since the game was released, so now could be a good time to make the port. However, it seems unlikely thatNaughty Dog, a PlayStation owned developer,will port one of their hottest exclusives.
5Grand Theft Auto V
It’s been confirmed thatGrand Theft Auto Vwill be coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. However, Nintendo has been routinely left out of the main seriesGrand Theft Autogames. We’ve seen NintendoGrand Theft Autogames like the original andGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Warscoming to Nintendo.
As one of the most profitable video game franchises,Grand Theft Autois long overdue for another Nintendo release.Grand Theft Auto Vhas been ported many times, so why can’t it come to Nintendo Switch? Nothing’s off the table at this point.
4Final Fantasy VII Remake
Square Enix has already dabbled in remasters for the Nintendo Switch.Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remasterwas ported to the Nintendo Switch in April 2019. There are also several other examples ofFinal Fantasygames released on Nintendo platforms.Final Fantasy VII Remakemight be to graphically demanding for the Nintendo Switch, but we can still dream that it becomes possible. Perhaps the game would work with downgraded graphics.
3Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2
The originalTHPSwas released for the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS, yet the remake containingTHPS 1+2is not a Nintendo Switch title. Rumors suggest thatTHPS 1+2could be coming to the Nintendo Switch.There are controller files for the Nintendo Switch within the Warehouse demo.

Activision has been Nintendo Switch-friendly, releasing games likeCrash Bandicoot N. Sane TrilogyandCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledfor the platform. The evidence forTHPS 1+2on Nintendo Switch is strong.
2Until Dawn
A standout horror game is what the Nintendo Switch needs.Resident Evil 7: Biohazardwas great, butUntilDawnis unique.Until Dawnis an interactive drama featuring voice actors like Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, and Peter Stormare. You’ll makeimportant choices that directly influence the game’s events.
Unfortunately,Until Dawnwas published by Sony Computer Entertainment, making a port seem improbable. Moreover, developer Supermassive Games has a long history of developing PlayStation exclusives likeKillzone,so we shouldn’t get our hopes up.
1Final Fantasy XV
It’s undoubtedly bizarre that Square Enix would releaseFinal Fantasy XV: Pocket Editionon Nintendo Switch instead of the full game. Nintendo Switch is a portable console, but people would rather have a full version than a pocket edition.Final Fantasy XVtook a unique spin on the series with a combat system similar toKingdom Hearts.It incorporates a real-time battle system, which is referred to as the Active Cross Battle system. Is it asking too much to see this game ported to the Nintendo Switch?
