Games series that would be great on the Nintendo Switch

Nintendo so far has had really good sales worldwide with the Nintendo Switch and is already starting 2018 strong with a great lineup of games coming out this year plus more potential surprises as other directs and events such as E3 and TGS occur.

Here is a few games series I feel would be right at home on the Nintendo Switch and are perfect for both playing on the big screen and on the go. This is by no means a complete list but more of a list of games that would be a great fit for the Switch, with most of these titles already having had past releases on Nintendo platforms already.

I am open to any other great series that you feel would be a perfect addition for the Switch.

Danganronpa Series


The Danganronpa series has done amazing worldwide and would be right at home on the Switch. They could easily make a collection with Danganronpa 1, 2, Ultra Despair Girls. 3 possibly could be in the collection but it would take a whole cart itself.

Digimon Series


The Digimon games on Vita and PS4 have been well received and would be a great addition to the handheld to tide players over till an eventual Pokemon game releases on the Switch. Both the first Cyber Sleuth and the new one would be a perfect fit for it.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Series


Nintendo has slowly been allowing more fan service and games with cute girls doing cute things so the Hyperdimension Neptunia Series would be a great fit on the Switch. They could easily release 2 collections one with the main one being Neptunia Rebirth 1, 2, 3, Megadimension and Superdimension. The other collection would consist of the two hack and slash games, the idol/managing game and the Noire strategy RPG.

Kingdom Hearts Series


Two previous Kingdom Hearts titles have been released on Nintendo platforms before and both got remastered for the collection on PS3 and PS4, so bringing over the PS4 collection and 3 for Switch would be great. They could even do some sorta Switch exclusive costume or world involving Nintendo characters as well. Would be pretty neat hey?

Persona Series


After a surprise announcement of Shin Megami Tensei I had thought why not bring Persona over to the Switch. A collection with further improved ports of Persona 1 and both Persona 2 games on Switch would great. They could also bring a PS2 Persona collection with the ability to play all 3 versions of Persona 3 and both versions of Persona 4. Ultimately Persona 5 would be perfect to play on the go on Switch with it's great artstyle and terrific music!

Square Enix's older catalogue


Square Enix has a treasure trove of classics that would be right at home on the Switch via either Virtual Console or improved ports. Classic FF games, FF spins offs, and amazing titles like Chrono Trigger and Parasite Eve. Even the new Dissidia would fit well on the Switch to.

Trails of Cold Steel / Sen no Kiseki Series


Trails of Cold Steel / Sen No Kiseki series is a terrific series by Falcom with amazing world, character and story building, intense combat and an amazing soundtrack. The series would be right at home on the Nintendo Switch and even the previous arcs (trails in the sky, zero and aoi) would be great. Further down I mention about YS VIII on Switch so hopefully Falcom bring this to it to!

Vanillaware Games


Vanillaware makes some truly amazing games with beautiful hand-drawn art. Muramasa was on Nintendo Wii and there was an improved port with extra content on Vita so it would be great to get the improved version of Muramasa, Odin Sphere remake, and Dragon's Crown on switch.

Yakuza Series


The Nintendo Wii U had a HD collection of Yakuza 1 and 2 so it's not too far fetched for the rest of the series to make it to Switch. Amazing series that would be great on the go. Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1 and Kiwami 2 for it would be great for people to get into the series.You could even play em while you roam the streets of the real world area of Kabukicho.

 Ys Series


After the Nintendo Mini Direct surprise announcement of YS VIII on Switch yesterday I thought why not bring more Ys games to the switch. The series is terrific as Falcom make some truly amazing games with awesome music so older Ys titles and any eventual new titles would be right at home on the Switch, starting from Origins and the 1 + 2 collection all the way up to Ys 7 and any future titles.

Persona 5 Cafe and Merch Store In Japan

Image
While in Japan I had the chance to visit two of the five Persona 5 cafes as well as the limited time merchandise store as well.  I was able to make two visits to the Osaka cafe branch and one visit to the Ikebukuro cafe branch.  The merch store is located in Ikebukuro and was only 5 minute walk directly west from the cafe. Persona 5 Cafe All items are presented neatly, while some specific menu items have an object that directly references the game. Here are some items I personally enjoyed from the cafes. Food Leblanc Curry: Just the right amount of spiciness, with a nice amount of meat and not an over the top amount of curry sauce. Blended together to make a nice fusion of ingredients with some small cut wedges on top to add an extra nice touch. Velvet Twincake: One slice was in the style of a vanilla/lemon meringue while the other was a chocolate cake with a crunchy but fruity base. Great way to finish off the meal. Velvet room creampuffs and jelly: The crea

Parappa Cafe and Merch store

Image
A short distance from the hotel I was staying at in Tokyo, is the massive Tokyo Skytree Tower. Nestled within the area is a surprisingly big area full of shops, cafes and all kinds of stores. There was also a 20th Anniversary Parappa the Rapper cafe and merch store being run as well. I was able to check out both to enjoy a nice lunch and pick up some cool merchandise too.   Nicely presented Parappa themed menu items which taste as good as they looked. Parappa Sandwich: While you may think it's just a simple sandwich it actually was amazing. The chicken was done very well and the vegetables with it amounted to one of the best sandwiches I ever had. Sunny Funny Egg Muffin: Nicely cooked egg with a great amount of yolk with some extra toppings including ham slices cut into flower petals and a side of fries to  PJ Peanut Butter and Chocolate: A nice sundae style dessert with a good mixture of peanut and chocolate with a cornflake base at the bottom of the cup.

Tokyo Xanadu Thoughts and Opinions - Vita version with PS4 notes to come later.

Image
While Falcom are a more niche team then most other JRPG developers, they still manage to make some all-round amazing games that are enjoyable. Recently their titles, both new ones and older ones, are slowly coming out in english more and more. After a two years wait, Tokyo Xanadu, a recent title they developed, was released on the PS Vita in English. The PS4 version is to be released later in the year. This review will focus on the Vita version, but once the PS4 version releases and I have finished all the new content, I will add an extra section down the bottom that will give my opinions and thoughts on the changes, additions and overall package of the PS4 edition. I am very much looking forward to it!   This game might share some similarities with Persona but also tries to be its own thing and does it very well. Tokyo Xanadu starts off interesting straight of the bat, as within the first five minutes of the game the protagonist finishes his work for the day and gets
