Vanillaware games, why have not happened on Switch?

I'm sure they'll be there eventually. My guess is probably next year. Vanillaware sometimes takes 2 or more years to show up on new consoles. The games you mentioned are all really good examples of showing up at least 2 years after a console's release.
I can see ports being thrown its way sometime soon tbh. Atlus published these games IIRC, and they looooove their ports.
You say that like Vanillaware make games.
Muramasa is probably involved in some rights thing, because that would already be on modern platforms. It was a different publisher.

Vanillaware doesn't care much about Nintendo. They released Muramasa on Wii, but then completely ignored Nintendo.
I hope that since Switch is a success in Japan, and there's pretty much no more PSP/Vita, then Vanillaware is kinda of obligated to release their games on Switch too if they want decent sales.

Even Falcom released Ys VIII on Switch and is going to release IX on the console probably... Same as NIS and Atlus (previously releasing their games on Sony systems mainly)
Yeah that'd be fantastic, but they seem to focus on one platform at a time. Atlus being their publisher doesn't help.
That said, with Vita now not being a viable platform anymore, we can only hope for vanillaware goodness on the go to be there in the future.
An HD remake of Muramasa Vita like Odin Sphere is my dream. It's their best game imo.

My impression is that they are a smaller team, and probably don't have the people to do ports.
Wish they could get someone good to port it, but who knows if they have the money for that.

Locking this on the grounds of
As well as port begging as 2 out of the 3 games listed have never been on a nintendo platform. I want them as much as the next person. But there isn't much to discuss here besides "I wish it would happen"
