Is a Nintendo Switch port not possible?

considering it looks like a gamecube game, I don't see why not.

I thought they already said a Switch port was forthcoming.

Beast mode! Thanks! I remember just looking on the website and I only saw PS4 and Xbox One. I'm super stoked for the Switch one!

dont blame them, blame Nintendo and their obsolete backwards hardware. even Bloodstained ROTN is forced to cap at 30 fps 720p on that platform. Switch is not up to modern hardware standards.

This is suppose to hit arcades in Japan before console release. Considering the people working on this made the horrible SNK heroines game I have doubts. However someone from some game mechanics dojo is involved and someone who did the mechanics for the recent tekken tag. I think they are trying to get the esports ball rolling and I kinda wonder how much they paid the people at Evo to get it on the list for 2019. I believe it’s also a 4 button game and I’m glad about that. I’ll be picking up a copy day one and streaming it on the Namco Noir. Twitch.tv/arcademaniacs

The Switch is way behind the other systems, but both of those games were built on generic engines and ported to the various systems. Bloodstained isn't particularly advanced, it should absolutely run on Switch perfectly, but they're too lazy/inept to optimize it for the platform. The PS4/Xbone just have the raw power to brute force their way into running well despite the sloppy programming.
If you want to see it done right look at Mortal Kombat 11 or Doom. Both of them are for more advanced that either Heroines or Bloodstained, and while they are graphically inferior to their brothers on the big boy systems, they actually run great on the low powered hardware.
Also, the Switch already got the only Bloodstained game that's going to be any good.

MK11 used UE3, not UE4. and they did so cause they know UE4 is resource intensive and for a game that is primarily intended for higher hardware like PS4 and X1, they had to make their own tailor made UE3 so that the port to Switch is not a big noticable difference in framerate/resolution.
ROTN team can't afford to tinker with UE3. the project for years been focused on primarily PS4, X1 and PC as the base hardware standards and the enegine they are using is UE4.
and Switch port would naturally have to be scaled down.
its really not easy to port a game like ROTN from PS4/X1/PC to Switch and still maintain 60 fps.
if people think its easy they can try themselves when PC gets it, then they can reverse engineer the game and try to port it on to Switch themselves using UE4 and have it at 60 fps on Switch. ha, and they call the devs lazy/incompetent. the critics can't even develop a videogame themselves at even COTM's level.
now Samurai Shodown is developed also for the Switch from the start, but look at the LARGE delay for that version compared to PS4 and X1, which are getting it in June.
more time and work would have to be done for a Bloodstained ROTN Switch version, and I would say most backers that play on other platforms, don't want to wait beyond this summer just so the Switch version gets 60 fps.
its really bad taste and foolishness for those whiners out there to pick Switch as their platform for Bloodstained, when PS4, X1 and PC are clearly better and more optimal. and Switch fanatics are suddenly shocked its capped at 30 fps? how naive of those communities.
anyone that even has a basic idea of hardware differences, could have seen this coming for Switch version. Switch is fortunate to be getting the game at all.
it kinda reminds me when Vita fanatics were shocked that they werent getting FInal Fantasy Type 0 HD, a remaster of a PSP game. they think Vita could run it, but even PS3 can't run it at a standard consistent framerate, so Square Enix skipped the platforms where the game would underperform below the standards.
FF Type 0 HD utilizes some XV tech. which enters PS4 generation minimum hardware requirements, at least part of it uses graphics, effects and technology beyond the Vita/PS3 generation, so even without looking like a AAA PS4 game ,it is more hardware demanding than what Vita/PS3 can handle.
also again, Bloodstained ROTN devs are practically an indie team that had some growing pains and setbacks due to another team that was at first doing the game ineffeciently, so they had to reorganize and get people that utilize more of UE4 capabilities. they are fortunate making the game look and play this good at all. and these graphics, animations and gameplay are leagues better than Dracula X Chronicles.

Doesn't indicate anything. He also made these a couple years back or so:

You can't expect too much from SNK nowadays and personally I think this looks pretty good for them.

Any preorder links yet?
For an unreal 4 engine driven game, it looks horrible now that there are more gameplay footage released. I would go as far as to say that even SF4 looks better in many areas since both games use that ink shader art style. Animation is clunky and graphics are not very aesthetically pleasing. Even their old 2d SS games had more style and flair to them. This game just looks "dead" and meh in comparison.

I guess it's just a matter of personal taste because I really like the look of the new Samurai Shodown game. Matter of fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a similar treatment applied to one of my other favorite 90's fighting games Weaponlord.
