Switch supports Vulkan and OpenGL 4.5

Switch is now confirmed to support both Vulkan and OpenGL 4.5. The Khronos Group certifies the console as a Vulkan 1.0 conformant implementation. Moreover, it shows the OS as “Nintendo OS” and it passes the Vulkan 1.0.1.0 CTS. Switch is listed as hitting OpenGL 4.5 and OpenGL ES 3.2 conformance as well.

That’s a lot of technical talk, but it should only mean good things for Switch owners in the end. This essentially means that developers should have an easier time creating games for the system.

Also it's confirmed that Switch support Unreal Engine 4, while for instance Wii U dont suport Vulkan, OpenGL 4.5 or Unreal Engine 4.

bolded is why WiiU got nothing while NS will get the basic yearly titles and maybe a red-herring here or there as well.
