Atlus have sent out their latest annual consumer survey, and in it is a question centred entirely around potential Switch ports. Among a long list of queries, the developer are asking which of a whole host of games players would be interested in seeing ported to Nintendo’s system.

Among those asked about include Persona 5, recent releases such as Catherine: Full Body and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, and a whole host of Shin Megami Tensei titles. Here’s the question and options in full:

There’s been plenty of fans hoping for a port of Persona 5 in particular, ever since Joker arrived in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, so it’s encouraging that Atlus are asking their players whether there’s an appetite for the game to show up on Switch. It doesn’t mean it will of course, but interesting to see nonetheless.

Switch-owning Persona fans do have something to look forward to, with Persona 5 Scramble headed to the console later this year. It launches in Japan on 20 February - with a demo currently available on the Japanese eShop - though there’s been no confirmation of a Western release at the moment. Shin Megami Tensei V however, has been confirmed for Europe and America, albeit with no release date yet in place.

Which of the games listed would you like to see on Switch? Let us know down in the comments.
