"Yasuda was in attendance at Nintendo’s Corporate Management Policy Briefing, and relayed a comment from Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto said that games developed with PC as a base can be ported to Switch in about a year. The report also adds that the console was revealed to third-parties last summer. It’s thought that we could therefore see major multiplatform titles starting from the fall season."

i guess we can expect more of the AAA games to be announced for Fall considering there reveal date to the companies and how long it will take to port.

1 entire year to make a port !!?
1 fuc#@#$@ year of work just to make a port! This can't be true, this needs to be a problem of translation, otherwise Nity third party support will be just abysmal. 1 year for a port is just too much time, too expensive, this just can't be true.

Why? Do you happen to know how long ports usually take?
