It apparently only took a few weeks for the team to port the Unreal Engine 3 title to Nintendo’s latest system. That certainly is impressive stuff. > Outlast 1 And 2 Ported To Nintendo Switch In Mere WEEKS! via [@YouTube](https://twitter.com/YouTube?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [\#nintendoswitch](https://twitter.com/hashtag/nintendoswitch?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > > — TheREALDrtre81 (@Drtre81) [March 11, 2018](https://twitter.com/Drtre81/status/972694352588767232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > What?

That brings up the question, if this is possible with Unreal Engine 3, what does that mean for the more recent Unreal Engine 4. And other gaming engines for that matter.

Are there still titles you are missing (besides the AAA main titles which need more work in porting)?
