Tomb Raider (2013) apparently has been ported to the Shield Console, which is basically the same chipset as the Nintendo Switch (Tegra X1). It's $15 for Shield and runs at 720p and came out a couple of days ago. 

A port to Switch would be simple I guess, though they'd have to make a undocked version I guess. Would anyone be interested in this?

Except the Switch is weaker than the nVidia Shield TV.

It sets a good precedent though... If a game can run on the Shield TV, then it technically can run on the Switch, maybe with a few downgrades.

But... If it's a port from the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or Wii U, then I don't see why it shouldn't eclipse the original releases.

Docked it's not really. And before people start parading the 500 GFLOP number, the Shield TV also throttles down to the same clock Eurogamer has the Switch at (394 GFLOPS approx) within a few minutes. Infact Switch is better because it has 4GB of RAM instead 2GB the Nvidia Sheild console does. Undocked, yes they have to make a version that is scaled down.
