Personally, I think its the most reasonable thing to do.While I would have preferred an earlier release, its makes far more sense to port World, or rather have one MH game for all platforms going foward, rather than developing a whole new game(or at least investing more resources than necessary into a game thats significally different than World) just for the Switch, given that the Switch is powerful enough that such ports are not impossible.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
