Honestly, I can't imagine XIV on the Switch aside from hardware and proper gaming control issues because the Switch/Nintendo has always been seen as the "fun, family friendly, group activity and party play" console. Nintendo has never been really known for porting or supporting MMO's and the general target audience of Nintendo products has never been marketed mainly to adults, its always been small children to young adults usually.

I also don't want a random Mario cameo to show up in XIV either and we know that's going to be part of Nintendo's terms probably that Mario gets to show up at least once. I'm sorry Nintendo, you have enough games to flaunt your mascot. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Mario per say, but you have enough games to show off your flagship, dear god, you have Smash. If XIV suddenly has Mario show up, it really will look like a theme park MMO then. The kind that only stays a float by how many more ridiculous things we can put into XIV to gain new subs whether it makes sense or not and abusing the "they came from another dimension! It's okay!" trope a million times.
