Because it’s a third party Switch game in 2023. Plus MK11, while functional on Switch, wasn’t ideal from what I’ve heard. The Switch just isn’t a great platform for modern fighting games since most of them will never get rollback netcode.

I dunno. Mk11 was decent.. obviously not the best, but pretty cool.

Because people love to pretend that unless it’s a pixel art game… no games run on switch.

“Inferior” hardware. As much as I love my Switch, one must aknowledge its portability had to sacrifice some tech aspecs.
Thus since devs prefer non constraining machines they make games made for then and then lessen visual quality porting it…
Also censorship.

Not even street fighter 6 is on the switch. Ofc everyone should be worried.

Roll back netcode is considered a deal maker for a lot in the FGC and when fighting games get ported over they usually lose that feature, and even if they do get it if you’re game has crossplay matches with switch players will be worse as it processes and send data packets a lot slower, and without writing an essay on how rollback works it means they’ll be more studders to avoid one sided rollback thus defeating the purpose of getting rollback.

Because 9/10 people agree the way the Krypt Mode was handled in MK11 on the Switch was just embarrassing. Even ignoring the barely able to run at 30fps framerate which can drop to sub-10fps whenever you open a chest, THEY STRAIGHT UP DELETED THE SKY just to get the thing to run, leaving a giant grey blob above you as you navigate the whole island.
With that prior experience, you could probably understand why most have less faith in MK1’s release for the Switch…. especially with it releasing at the same standard price as the other versions of $70 instead of a reduced cost due to the system limitations.
