I'm begining to be curious as to if Epic Game's partnership with Nintendo is deeper than we think. If they actually had a say or two in the hardware development and UE4 becomes an offical Switch engine much like UE3 was for the 360 and largely the PS3.

The concept of the Switch is very much simular to what Epic spoke about 5 years ago. With the disapointing leaked specs, there might be a reason some developers have faith in this system.

Just an interesting thought to ponder on.

While he was talking about phone's doing that it is pretty interesting that he kind in a way prediected the concept of the Switch. Also I am starting think Nintendo might actually have a game in development that runs on UE4 like say the new 3D Mario or Retro's game. Hell it isn't even out the realm of possiblity since Super Mario Run uses the Unity engine.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a rumor around spring or summer about Nintendo being one of the 3 Japanese companies that Epic mentioned to be lined up to us their engine. With Nintendo being the one that "they can absolutely not talk about"? Which means that Nintendo could even have a first party title using UE4. Come to think of it. Pikmin 4 would be fantastic on UE4 due to it's heavy emphasis on its environments.
