I can only see that happening with Sega tier incompetence by Sony while also facing incredibly stiff competition, not a likely scenario. Nintendo isn't seen as direct competition anymore and Microsoft got as close to that scenario as they ever would back with the 360.
I heard Resident Evil 8 is one of them.

They’ve always had small Virtual Boy references here and there. A few WarioWare microgames are based on Virtual Boy titles. The Chronicle menu in Brawl gives a complete list of every first-party release on every Nintendo system, including Virtual Boy. One of the pre-E3 skits from way back shows Reggie playing a Virtual Boy and commenting on how realistic the games look. And the Tomodachi Life gif I posted is from the Direct that originally revealed the game. Honestly, I’m surprised they didn’t put Virtual Boy games on the 3DS Virtual Console; it was their only chance at rereleasing those games in a faithful way without the eye strain, and I’m sure a lot of people would have jumped onboard just out of morbid curiosity about what the heck Mario Clash and VB Wario Land are.
That would require actual effort. Also, I believe the Red'n'Black color scheme was part of what the complaints were regarding the VB, and trust me, if you've played any game with a black background on the 3DS with the 3D on, you'll get crosseyed quickly with the ghosting that can happen. NOT. FUN. AT. ALL.
They could have Super Gameboy'd it as part of the porting process.
Nearly every japanese game can be run on Switch, and the exceptions are very few (latest mainline EDF, Ryu ga Gotoku games on Dragon Engine, From Software titles, some titles from Capcom using the non-modified RE Engine, modern Final Fantasy). The visual differences are either quite minimal or literally non-existent, but the most important thing is that it's essentially the same game between PS/PC/Switch versions.
No disrespect. I'm just not into Japanese franchises.
Mainly yes, but you still have the ever-shrinking, yet sizeable FPS enthusiast market. They need to have their optimum frames per second, trilinear mipmapping, etc. These are the stalwart remnants of pc gaming of yore, performance driven above all things. Both activision and EA have done a stellar job at turning each of their AAA properties into glorified slot machines so I don't think they're long for life in the sorry state they are at the moment.
Why am I not in the picture?
I hope you'll consider playing EDF (Earth Defense Force) at least, with 4.1 which is priced around 15-20 bucks by default on Steam.
It's the problem with modern western games as a whole (both AAA & indie), a lot of them entirely forgot what is fun due of the devs/executives obsession to make the medium "mature" by their own standards. Also, promoting ugliness in general despite one of the main purposes of vidya is escapism.
What japanese games have you played? I get why you wont like anime games. But what about Nintendo games? I never met anyone that doesnt like Mario or Zelda. Have you gave Sekiro or Yakuza a chance? If its because its "too hard" as most japanese games usually are I can understand. The last PS3 game I beat was Ninja Gaiden Sigma on normal mode. Was one of the hardest games Ive ever beaten.
Even though that is mostly the case with many Japanese titles and pretty much every indie game, you've still got marquee games from both sides of the ocean missing the Switch because of performance issues. Games like Monster Hunter World, Red Dead Redemption 2, Soul Calibur 6, Tekken 7, Ace Combat 7, Final Fantasy, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Resident Evil Village, any Yakuza game, and even GTA, which has been released on literally everything else. Some of the biggest third party releases of the year are simply skipping the Switch because of its hardware limitations.
Oh no, the Switch won't get Stronk Independent Wahmen Simulator #1679, how ever shall we consume product now?!
