Elite Dangerous is a beautiful game, and can be occasionally graphically intensive, but I would love to see a port of ED to the Switch. It's the only current generation console without a port, and although it would certainly need to take something of a graphical hit, I think the Switch can easily accommodate this game. I think that, in many respects, ED is already extremely well optimized and performance is rarely an issue that I've seen discussed in relation to this game. I think being able to play ED on the go (when being "on the go" is more viable again) or even just in bed would be amazing, and FDev could take advantange of the Switch's motion controls for a new way to control your ship as well. Perhaps even local multicrew with two Switch consoles would be a cool networking feature to add. I really think the Switch could use a game like ED, and I think ED would find great success on the eShop.

Switch is a portable system and ED needs a constant Wi-Fi to work.
It's a hybrid system and many people just play docked, and as long as you make the connection requirements clear to buyers, I don't see why this would be an issue. People play games on public wifi all the time, and there are a number of other MMOs that are on the switch, such as Warframe.
