At the Brazil Game Show, GameSpot caught up with NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon. Boon was asked about potentially supporting Switch in the future.
Boon, known for his work on the Mortal Kombat series, directed Injustice 2 earlier this year. He indicated that the game could theoretically run on Switch, but adjustments would need to be made in order for it to happen.
Boon said:

In the latest issue of GamesMaster, the magazine shares some choice words with Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. Koizumi weighed in on how the Switch game encompasses previous 3D Marios, the theme of travel, and wanting to take advantage of the Joy-Con.
Below is a roundup of the various comments:
Super Beat Sports was originally supposed to be on the Switch eShop tomorrow. Unfortunately, that’s no longer happening.
Developer Harmonix said on Twitter a short while ago that Super Beat Sports has been pushed back. A new date has not yet been announced, but we assume that the delay won’t be terribly long.
Looks like Lil Slugger took a lil detour around a neighboring galaxy. More info about #SuperBeatSports' release coming soon!

Correct, stay tuned for more info.

Retailers have started taking pre-orders for the Fire Emblem Fates Sakura Nendoroid. You can reserve it on Play-Asia, Good Smile, or AmiAmi.
Sakura will come with optional parts, including her staff together with healing effect parts as well as a rod of dumplings. The Nendoroid is tentatively scheduled to ship towards the start of June 2018.
Nicalis is keeping up its steady stream of Switch games with another new titles for the system – and it’s releasing very soon.
Knight Terrors is coming to Switch, Nicalis and FreakZone Games has announced. The game is launching on October 24 on the eShop in both North America and Europe.
Here’s an overview:

Earlier today, Nintendo shared art for the third Japanese Splatfest taking place in Splatoon 2 this weekend. We now have the official image for the North American event.
Players can choose to be on either Team Vampire or Team Werewolf. The North American Splatfest begins at the very end of Friday / start of Saturday, and will last for a full day. Expect the results soon after it ends.
The Nintendo World Championships 2017 took place this past weekend, and while it was happening, the event was being shown live on Disney XD. It seems to have gone over quite well given how the broadcast had the highest ratings for an eSports program on the channel this year. It beat out the Smash Bros. Wii U finals at EVO 2017 and repeats of Nintendo’s Splatoon 2 tournaments.
We also have a look at how the Nintendo World Championships 2017 stack up against eSports ratings across all channels in 2017. It came in 20th, which is pretty respectable, especially since many of the top spots are for CBS’ Candy Crush show.
Like many Atlus games, Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth will be sold with some special launch goodies. An official unboxing video showing off the full contents can be found below.
