why are there so many switch ports recently?

Yeah it is I just have to fix the driver bug I have one left of my own ports to fix before I can move on to fixing it.

Because AI is really good porting games especially using the Android wrapper method.
All my ports area vibe-coded lol
It still takes a fair amount of time though because it doesn't get it right the first time.

How do you plan on dealing with differing ports of the same game? (I've been developing my own port of Final Fantasy IV (3D Remake) which differs significantly from Nagaa's port)

How does the android wrapper even work? I’ve been seeing it in switch ports a lot more recently. What does it even use?

I don't mind linking multiple for the sake of completeness.

Have any of the recent Android ports included a game that uses Godot engine? Wondering if it's any trickier than usual like Unity was or if it's already been done easily?
Click to expand...
Not yet but I want to port the android fan port of Slay the Spire 2. The first and second Unity games were tricky to port then it becomes astronomically easier because you know what in the engine has to be patched. I'd imagine Godot would be the same..

I'd probably explain it as essentially we are running all the of the game's code natively on the Switch CPU, however we have to patch some minor stuff in the game to reroute to the correct output as Android and HOS have differences. I would argue it tends to be more on the side of a wrapper then a port since we aren't recompiling or rewriting game code.

Some examples all the games graphical rendering is routed through homebrew graphics drivers instead, we have to reroute the controls and audio as well. Unity games have to patch to change their memory allocation because what works on Android doesn't work on Switch and we have to patch games to read from the right file directory. There's plenty more then that as HOS and Android have a lot of differences.
