<p>This discovery comes from a user named Doctre81 who made a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wtDcyRoWf8">video on YouTube</a> detailing his findings that Virtuos, the team behind recent remasters such as Final Fantasy X and X-2, Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Ezio Collection, and Batman: Return to Arkham, are underway with a AAA port to Nintendo Switch.</p>
<p>This news comes from the <a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/xiaoyu-zhang-4a3425a6">Linkedin profile</a> of employee Xiaoyu Zhang, who showed the following information about the project:</p>
<blockquote><p>WIP: Porting a AAA title to Nintendo Switch™<br />
&#8211; Re-implement the renderer with Nintendo&#8217;s native graphics API(nvn)<br />
&#8211; Design and implement the low level mechanism of graphics resource management and threading<br />
&#8211; Exploit the performance advantages of the Vulkan-like API (UMA, explicit management of graphics memory, complete control over CPU/GPU synchronization, etc)</p></blockquote>
<p>This follows a <a href="https://twitter.com/virtuosgames/status/819831619657744384">tweet</a> made by Virtuos all the way back during the Nintendo Switch Presentation in January where they confirmed that they were underway with Switch development.</p>
