Last year Unreal Engine announced that it had partnered with Nintendo "to help Unreal Engine 4 developers bring their games to Nintendo Switch." A few hours ago the Unreal Engine 4.15 was released delivering (experimental) Nintendo Switch support to all users.
Unreal Engine allows developers to build 3D games for PCs, consoles and mobile platforms. The addition of the Nintendo Switch to its support roster could be important for the cross-platform development of games on PCs and consoles, including the Switch, from now on.
Despite the freshly announced support there are already games in the pipeline for Nintendo Switch that have been forged in UE4. An example is Sumo Digital's 3D action puzzle game Snake Pass. This puzzler is also being lined up for PS4, Xbox One and PC release in "early 2017".
