At Paris Games Week, Koei Tecmo president / COO Hisashi Koinuma as well as Omega Force manager Hideo Suzuki were on hand to show off Attack on Titan 2. The two also commented specifically on the Switch version.
Koinuma noted that, as an anime game, they wanted Attack on Titan 2 to connect with as many fans as possible. Koei Tecmo looked into the platforms on the market that were available within the target audience and made an effort to reach the broadest userbase they could.

Julian Eggebrecht is the president of Factor 5. You may not be aware of this, but he’s also the vice president of technology at Hulu.
It was almost a funny coincidence that Eggebrecht appeared on this week’s episode of Nintendo Voice Chat from IGN. He largely talked about Factor 5, but also had a bit to say about the new launch of Hulu on Switch. Hulu just made it to Nintendo’s console on Thursday.
When asked why Hulu didn’t appear on Switch until now, Eggebrecht explained:

Doom Switch tech analysis
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 206 Comments
Digital Foundry is back with a new Switch technical analysis. Doom, which pushes the system to its max, is one very interesting title to look at.
It’s to be expected, but Doom’s visual quality has dropped on Switch. It has an adaptive resolution, with it usually sitting at around 600p when docked. The depth-of-field buffer and alpha effects appear to be rendered at a quarter resolution. Temporal anti-aliasing can make the action look a bit blurry on the big screen.
