The pro controller is one thing as it could be for PC (since games can use it IIRC), but the actual Switch and Joy-Cons? It's a done deal.

Expecting an ugly 480p-540p resolution handheld. Found it personally really ugly on the Crash N Sane trilogy.
I mean, did anyone doubt that it was coming 6 months to a year on the Switch? Pretty much all of these remasters have done so, outside Crash Team Racing, which was day and date across all three.
Vicarious Visions seem to have left those for a future port studio, since they're not doing the Switch ports. We don't know if there will be one but Iron Galaxy sounds like a safe bet.
We've been over this, studios cannot officially acknowledge Switch controller support on PC unless the game has a Switch version. Nintendo does not officially support PC, unlike MS.

Crash was using VV's Alchemy engine. Now both them and Toys For Bob seem to use UE4.
TFB did Crash NST and Spyro themselves on Switch. Count of them doing Tony and Crash 4 on Switch next year.
There's a number of games on Switch that run UE4 and do it well, some even in the 60 fps range. Not that I expect this game to be optimized to that point but weirder things have happened.
Vicarious Visions do not do ports, they left those for the actual port studio. It seems the porting job hasn't been started, or, as you said, at early phases. IIRC Spyro port was done after the game was out on other consoles.
Spyro had hiccups on Switch. Granted at least going by Digital Foundry, even the main versions had odd performance issues, but on Switch it's rougher. Also it has very brief loading pauses but is that also in the other versions?
They should patch it just once to clean up some grime. The other issue is super low-res textures in places where it's too obvious. Moneybags' bag being a particular offender as he's a fairly common character in 2 and 3. So you're kind of looking at it each time you see him. In environments it's far easier to ignore.
I saw this yesterday on a Discord server but I didn't want to archive it because I couldn't track down where these actually came from and found the lack of media coverage suspicious
The subreddit seems to think it's legit so idk it couldn't hurt I guess: https://www.reddit.com/r/THPS/comments/icvc66/spoiler_thps12_may_be_coming_to_switch_credits_to/
Tony Hawk looks really nice, wonder how well it would downscale to Switch

Spyro looked nice visually but has distracting frame pacing issues

I can't recall any multiplat UE4 games that are 60fps. Yoshi and Travis Strikes Back (multiplat but made for switch first) are the two 60fps games I can recall off the top of my head
"Pro" to Nintendo has meant basic ergonomics since the Wii. :\
Dope. I already bought the digital ps4 version but I'd probably double dip/want this in my collection.
yeah I guess you're right, and this one likely won't be as easy to trim down
yeah, "great" was probably overly charitable. though as for the textures, art, and visual fidelity in general, the first game fared far better than the latter two, and I also greatly prefer it as a game. my love of the first game probably skews my perspective on the collection a bit
If they can make this a 60 fps game on the Switch, I might buy that there indeed.
Heh. If that's indeed what they're doing I honestly feel calling it "gross" is a little overblown :P

I really do hope it's real. And i don't doubt it too, honestly. Ubisoft KNOWS that if they announce something for Switch sometime after it has released for other platforms, people are likely to buy it again just for the portability. They are being smart in this one; and i do think this will be the same case for Crash 4.
but it'd have that classic feeling! (the originals were 30fps)
Portable Tony Hawk sounds good to me. But PlayStation controls are so ingrained into my head when thinking about Tony Hawk. Having grind be anything other than "triangle" is just wrong.
Portable THPS sounds like a dream fulfilled. Please make it happen, somebody.
As long as it's at least 30fps and decent resolution, I would buy this so fast.
Had good fun with American Sk8land or whatever it was on the DS. I'm sure I'd enjoy this as well.
Edit: wonder if the control setup could be made to work well with a GameCube controller...ooooo

I literally said in the reveal thread the most annoying aspect was that I knew the Switch would be getting it later and that I wish they'd just announce the port
I'm pretty sure FighterZ is 60fps (or at least targets)
I don't know if this is true. Hades, while announced just yesterday for Switch, has Switch button labels when you use a Pro Controller on PC. It also has DualShock labels and the game hasn't been announced for PS4 at all.
Then there's the fact that Steam natively supports the Pro Controller:
Then there was this:
Red Dead Redemption 2 has Switch Pro Controller icon in its game files
Red Dead Redemption 2 texture game files have reportedly revealed a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller icon, but it probably doesn't mean what you're hoping.

That's the reason I was waiting for Hades announcement any moment.
At the RDR2 reddit thread, there was a game dev who also put Switch controller input prompts in their Steam only game and got an e-mail from Nintendo requesting the removal of the picture and acknowledgement. Any picture of Nintendo owned controllers require Nintendo license, Nintendo doesn't license out their properties to games that are not on their platform (obviously, mobile is an exception).
I don't know if Sony has a similar rule but it seems they don't.
