I honestly don't think Nintendo would be insanely humiliated by Wii U just to make another console that can't do shit. There's more to Switch, and hopefully it gets cleared up in January. Nintendo is letting the media decide things for their consumers or future consumers. They should have talked sooner.

That's positive - ports should be easier, however still down-scaling of textures and other things is necessary.

Basically, I'm saying that on occasion NS will get a 3rd party support that is not one of the normal yearly whore titles.

Vulkan is really, really good for ARM mobile chips:

This is mostly an "invisible" move for gamers, but ultimately we will be seeing the benefits of this on the Switch for years to come.
