I imagine it was something planned or in consideration already. When Ninja Theory was bought they specifically called out that future games focused for MS platforms.

I always thought this game was kind of shit but getting it running well on Switch would be a notable feat.
I'm reminded of Psygnosis. Sony owned them. They designed the PS1 devkit, a huge factor in he system's succss. But they kept releasing games for other platforms. That's why Wipeout was on N64. Sony, uh... really didn't like that. I have no idea what Psygnosis were smoking. Sony even tried to sell them to be rid of this rogue subsidiary they couldn't control. They eventually gutted them and put a stop to such shenanigans.
In hindsight, a late port of Wipeout did absolutely no harm to Playstation. It introduced new people to the series. The series was still a system seller for Sony.
There could be great value in MS studios releasing older games on the Switch. Fingers crossed for Rare Replay on Switch. #Believe
they all start that way
How did they cram this thing onto Switch? This makes no sense.
Is this coming to Switch part of the seemingly much friendlier relationship between Nintendo and Microsoft?
Oh my God, I would love this. Especially with the N64 overlap, it would feel super appropriate.
You see this game running on the switch...and then you look at the Dead by Daylight footage.....
I wouldn't turn that down as long as they let Nintendo play with Banjo and Kazooie again hehe
Nice to see Microsoft letting them keep Hellblade multiplatform. I dont expect the same for whatever comes after they got purchased.
And some people were betting DQXI on Switch would have been an upressed version of the 3DS game (well they got it half way since the 2D version of DQXI which was exclusive to 3DS now will be available on DQXIS).
User Warned: port begging
More Microsoft first party support on Switch? Why thank you!
Can I haz Rare Replay, Sea of Thieves, Sunset Overdrive and Cuphead on Switch now plz? ;)

It's noticeably downgraded from other platforms, though. Not as bad as DbD or AC3R, but that footage was not too sharp in comparison. Getting it running at all is impressive, of course, although I can't imagine wanting to play this as a handheld game. Use headphones, at least, to appreciate the top level sound design.
Microsoft is allowing all projects to be completed whatever platform the games are for, this was in the works before the deal was done most likely. I'd be surprised to see further games natively built for other devices in the future. Doubt Microsoft wants to spend the resources to develop something for a specific device when they have streaming tech.
I still need to finish this game though. It got a little repetitive so I quit. Maybe one day.

It is UE4. Switch supports UE4 so it is just a matter of reducing the resolution, reducing graphic options and optimising to get a decent framerate. Isn't impossible but does require some work for a decent port.
