THREAD: CAN THIS GAME RUN ON SWITCH?

It's a question people have about many games: Can they run on #NintendoSwitch? Is a Switch port possible?

It's possible to give you an answer thanks to the GPD Win 2, this particular PC is slightly less powerful than a docked Switch.

Of course, only games available on PC can be tested with GPD Win 2 (no Kingdom Hearts 3 đŸ„ș) and it's not a 100% reliable way of assessing the possibility of a #NintendoSwitch port (you'll see why later) but it's still a very good way to realize what's possible and how.

2/
Why isn't it 100% reliable to use GPD Win 2 as an indicator for Switch performance?

It's reliable in most cases but there are a few exceptions like...Witcher 3!

TW3 looks similar to Switch's TW3 on GPD2 but runs much worse (under 20FPS). TW3 run very well on Switch

As you can see The Witcher 3 proves one thing: a game not running that well on GPD Win 2 is still possible on #NintendoSwitch.

However if a game runs really,really bad on GPD Win 2 it's fair to say there's no chance for Switch as both hardwares are close so it still matters!

FINAL FANTASY XV ON #NintendoSwitch ? No!

Well, as you can see...Final Fantasy XV looks terrible on GPD Win 2 and runs terrible, it's pretty disastrous!

The Luminous Engine doesn't run perfectly well on PS4/X1, it's no scalable for lower settings.
