Halo would be one of the most interesting ports ever on the Switch. Not just because it's a big IP that used to make Microsoft a serious competitor to Nintendo in hardware sales, but also because The Master Chief Collection is absolutely massive. It released with four games at nearly ~100GB (internet says 73 GB but I could have sworn by the time I got my Xbox One copy it was 100?), now on new platforms Microsoft is bundling it with six games in total - including new additions ODST and Reach. I honestly don't see how they could put that on a cart. If they wanted to release all of the legacy games on the Switch, they'd probably release them on the eshop individually, but that would create a scenario where they'd either make a physical release with a partial download, or maybe even a download-only release. And I don't see them releasing it for $10 on the Eshop for the games individually like on Steam if, say, there is no option for the collection, since I think part of the reason they're so inexpensive on Steam is collection integration. Not to mention "legacy games" include Halo 2 Anniversary, a game made from the ground up for Xbox One.

Would be cool.

It would be such a clusterfuck. Such a glorious clusterfuck. Not to mention maybe one of the only times where a partial download is completely justified for a cart release.
