Are you kidding? They announced support for the engine before the Switch came out, yes. But the first actual version supported came out in may 2017. That's after the console released.

Yet games like SMTV have teasers and a trailer out showing the game and its on the same engine DQXI people have not been shown a single thing so they do actually have a point here.

The point could be that they don't want to show a version that will undoubtedly look worse/inferior to the one currently getting the hype?

Don't you think it would make many Nintendo fans call the port a lazy one like they so often do? Heck, there's already an outcry from the vocal minority over conjectures and what ifs. Imagine then?
