Just because you can port it to the Switch doesn't mean you should…Looking at you The Outer Worlds

If you're not going to put in the effort to make your Switch port good, don't announce a Switch port.
If The Witcher 3 can run on this little guy in a completely playable state, there is no excuse for Switch ports to look as bad as The Outer Worlds does.
