If the game is of the same caliber as the other platforms (Xbox, Playstation and PC) in terms of quality, but isn't a simple back-port with downgraded visuals, but built from the ground up for Nintendo's platforms, then I say go for it.

You can't be on to many platforms, more choice is great.

Honestly I think they'd still be a market for graphically downgraded ports, the Switch has shown plenty of people are fine with lesser visuals in exchange for hybrid functionality.

COD got 5 entries on the Wii that were a big downgrade from PC/PS3/360 graphically, but they had their own appeal for those of us who liked aiming with a pointer.

It would still have lesser visuals... But it's far easier to make a game look great on Switch if they build the game up for the platform... Rather than take an already established game/engine/technology base and just make concessions and cutbacks for the platform until it's acceptable on the hardware... We have seen the results when that is done poorly... I.E. ARK Survival Evolved. - But has improved as of late.

And it's not just about looking great, it's also about performance, CoD at 30fps isn't a fun experience... Especially if you intend to push cross-platform multiplayer.
