That would be...unexpected for sure.

However, I notice these are all Japanese. So my first thought is...well my first thought is elaborate fake. But my second thought is, it will be a streamed game.

That's Chinese, not Japanese.

Well I only brought it up because this is a current gen open world game with a lot going on.  A port would be an enormous undertaking.

I don't know. Skyrim and BotW prove that such games can work on the Switch. It depends on whoever makes the port, which version is used to port it and the efford dedicated to it.

Skyrim is not a current gen game and BotW doesn't have many assets compared to The Witcher 3 and RDR2.

Skyrim, and BOTW ran on lastgen hardware. they were not designed with ps4/xb1 specs in mind. I would love to see them attempt it, but I doubt it could run on switch, and if it did I expect a hot mess.

About a page too late :P

Ah, well that's what I get for not reading carefully and just checking the images :P

And no, I can read neither Japanese nor Chinese.  Both use Kanji so I simply mistook it for Japanese at a glance.

And yeah, I could imagine a physical box with a code for the streamed version.  They already sell empty boxes so why not?  But that wouldn't be the case in France though so that is an interesting additional piece of evidence 

Tip for you.

When you have just Kanji it's likely Chinese. Japanese would have some hiragana or katakana.

Yeah, I am aware of the other letters.  I just failed a spot check on that one.

Isn't that more powerful then switch? That looks horrible anyway.

Doom(2016) run almost on par with undocked switch, but yes, on paper it's stronger than the switch, but it also have to run windows and the games don't have any kind of optmization specific for this hardware.

The travel to a marker instead of instant travel fucked my enjoyment of the game, then again instant travel would have showed the bad loadtimes even more

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

This guy gets doom to run nearly 60fps on GPD2. seems like GDP 2 is a good step up from switch in terms of power. that's only with a bit of tweaking.
