It kind of sounds like it's up to Nintendo to update the version of UE on the console, or something like that. Though I guess they can still make due with the current one it sounds..?

Well, I suppose we know it's still coming to the Switch. Perhaps they should have released the 3DS version in the meantime, if it's going to take a good while for the Switch version.

UE4's maintenance and updates are Epic's prerogative.  It's each developer's responsibility to keep up with that.  Nintendo isn't charged with whiping the collective bottoms of the game industry.

Edit: to be clear it isn't Microsoft's or Sony's either for their platforms.

Ah, I see. I was just unsure how it worked in this situation with the Unreal Engine on the Switch.
