Porting games between PS4/XBO/PC is way easier than Switch, which is why games that could run (AC:Rogue) aren't on the Switch, because they can't be bothered putting effort in. Relatively the Switch ISN'T an easy device to port to.

You'd have an argument, if this was actually true. But the vast majority of developers have said that the Switch is very easy to port to. As easy as porting to any platform. Square Enix even said that its very similar to the PS4 in terms of core architecture. Power is only important to porting if the game itself requires a lot of power. Of course, porting a highly demanding game like Doom or Read Dead 2 will take a lot more work on the Switch. But are you really going to sit here and tell me that an HD remaster of a last gen game can't be ported over with ease due to power? 

Lots of excess power makes porting easy, what I said is true. Obviously porting between PS4/XBO is easier than Switch/PS4. Don't take every little thing a Developer says in PR as gospel.

And no, the HD remasters not being ported isn't down to power that's not what I was saying, in that case it's down to the hardware differences, whilst XBO and PS4 are practically identical.
