Even though I usually blame SE too with their thing of announcing games way too early, I'm willing to bet Nintendo is the one to blame on this one. After all, at the time of the announcement they were just phasing out the WiiU and everything seemed bleak for the company, so announcing such a big title for the mysterious successor console was a great way to establish consumer confidence.

This was also SE announcment not Nintendo one, most of Nintendo Switch announcements were less than year announcements.

I know, but I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo ask them to include the NX in the announcement. After all, companies were pretty tight lipped about the system, and SE just clearly announced one of their biggest games for the system with no problem. I bet Nintendo asked them to announce it, and SE just went "okay".

With fact on mind that most of Switch announcements (including 3rd party) Nintendo is holding close to release, while on other hand SE always announcing game years in advance, chances are on SE side, also in same event they announced PS4 version of game also, not just NX version.

True, but Nintendo needed to get all the attention to the NX they could get, to make people see the system as a serious console competitor instead of just another WiiU. Getting SE to announce the title alongside the rest of the versions was a great way of getting the word out.

Seriously, this should have been taken care of ages ago.  The UE4 Switch support updates went out over a YEAR AGO.  But here we have a plucky indie dev and their small time porting studio partner beating one of the wealthiest and most influential Japanese publishers to the punch with a game that gives the PS4 and Xbone a run for their money.  

This is a display of frankly hilariously sad incompetence.

snipped for length

I am a realist, I know many games are a challenge, I know Switch versions take time.  I never would have requested Doom or Wolfenstein 2 at all and never would have complained of their absence.  And their presence doesn't have me up in arms demanding Battlefront 2 or Battlefield 1 or Witcher 3.  Cool as those would be, those are very challenging.  And I am not complaining at all about Wolfenstein 2's dev cycle cause I get it.  

But DQXI?  No.  No, this is not acceptable.  Wouldn't be on the PS4 or Xbone or PC.  When you take all the elements into consideration, there is no excuse.  This is on Square.  And this is unacceptable.

Edit:  Sorry this is such a wall of text and I'm sure you weren't trying to pick a fight, but I've seen the attitude I described far too often and it bugs me to death.  And also, calling your opinion the unbiased one, implying those who disagree are biased and wrong by default came off as quite condescending and abrasive.
