Bethesda planing more games for the Switch, but Fallout 4 is not one of them

They pretty much ported Skyrim to every platform known to man.

It is kind of surprising Fallout 3/New Vegas/Oblivion hasn't received the same treatment... But then again, they have aged extremely poorly, visually I guess.
Same with Morrowind.

Fallout 3/New Vegas/Oblivion would still look OK in 1080p and not that difrent compared to Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but Morrowind is totally different story.

Oh... I beg to differ. I have them all on PC.

Yeah, that's the main thing.  Skyrim holds up decently well with new textures and lighting and such.  Oblivion...no, it would need far more.  Aside from engine stability and optimization, it would need a ridiculous ammount of new geometry.  The trees use billboards for goodness sake, that hasn't been an industry standard for folliage for the better part of a decade.  And of course the character models scream early 7th gen struggles.

It was great tech for the time, but the sprite based distant trees just hasn't aged well, it's a pretty blurry mess.
Speed Tree does have it's limitations sadly... Although more modern implementations doesn't seem to stand out as much.

It could be done something similar like it was done for Skyrim remastered, higher resolution, better lightning, better AA/AF solution that gave crispier textures...and Fallout 3 wouldnt definitely look that much different than Skyrim remaster.

Oblvion is 2-3 years older game than Fallout 3, but despite that Oblivion looks OK on Xbox X that actualy just upscale game and its not full remaster.

It needs allot more than that, PC has been pushing higher AA, AF, Framerates and Resolution for over a decade, it's not a magic bullet, I also have it on the Xbox One X, I wouldn't say it "looks okay". - It looks better than the 360 version obviously... But nothing to write home about.
I used to be a mod on the Old Oblivion forums... So I have been around this circus for many years. - Game needs an overhaul from top to bottom, preferably on the Creation Engine, the biggest part that needs a touch up is the texturing.

Some parts of the game hold up okay, but anything with longer draw distances simply looks like a dogs breakfast.

The great thing about Morrowind though... Is because of the fog in that game... It managed to hide allot of that.

New Vegas looks ... okay.  It's mostly rock, anyway.  Fallout 3 looks nowhere close to Fallout 4.  Fallout 3 would need a LOT of work if they moved it to current platforms, not just visually, but internally.  It just does not hold up very well.  However, I do think a rebuild would make enough money to justify the expense.  The problem would be having enough resources to spare while working on several other games.

To me even the rocks look like a blurry mess. And the abuse of Bloom doesn't help things.
It is what it is obviously.

It doesn't have to be a rebuild, just port the game over to the Creation Engine (Which shouldn't be difficult, it has allot of commonality with Gamebryo anyway!) with it's superior lighting and shader models and enhance the texturing.
