An ex-Ubisoft employee has said that the upcoming Nintendo Switch may not come with enough processing power to support current-generation game ports and it could pose a problem for third-party developers.

According to Sebastian Aaltonen, "straightforward code port is not possible" on the Switch.

Several new gaming consoles were launched in 2016, but the Nintendo Switch has been the one most raved about in spite of its polarized audiences. The hybrid console was unveiled in October, and many think that it would do well on the market. However, some are skeptical about its housing and graphical and processing power. Now, there are reports that porting games from one platform to another will be very hard on the Switch.

"Around 50 percent of modern game engine frame time goes to running compute shaders: lighting, post processing, AA, AO, reflections, etc. Maxwell's tiled rasterizer has zero impact on compute shaders. 25.6 [GBps] is pretty low as everybody knows that 68 [GBps] of Xbox One isn't that great either," Aaltonen said.

Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo Switch will be released by March 2017. There have been many rumors surrounding the Nintendo Switch, and it is making headlines right now. Some lucky fans will get to try the hybrid gaming system just a day after its official launch on Jan. 12. The launch will be broadcasted live from Japan, and after that, there will be another event in New York where fans may be able to experience the Switch firsthand.

The games that players can try on the Nintendo Switch include Dragon Quest X, Dragon Quest XI, NBA 2K17, Project Sonic 2017, Just Dance 2017, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Splatoon Switch, Lego City Undercover, Constructor, Cube Life: Island Survival, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Mario Kart, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The new Mario game, which appeared in the Nintendo Switch trailer in October, could also be included.
