To add to the OP, Drool had some words to say about the port beyond the redone camera. They appeared in this piece about digital publishing on Switch from MCV UK: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/remade-reborn-how-nintendo-s-fixing-digital-for-switch/0181749
For Drool, who's bringing its ‘rhythm violence' game Thumper to Switch later this year, Nintendo approached the studio while they were over in Japan.
”I met some nice people from Nintendo at [the Kyoto-based indie game festival] Bit Summit last year," says the studio's co-founder Marc Flury. ”I was showing Thumper and they were interested in bringing the game to their new platform. In particular, they thought Thumper could work well with the HD Rumble. We were all excited to start working together."Admittedly, Flury says that porting Thumper's custom engine ”was a lot of work" for him as the studio's sole programmer, resulting in a brand-new shader just for the Switch version, but in the end his experience was a positive one.
”Fortunately, the hardware is capable and the tools and support have been top-notch," he says. ”As soon as we got the game running on Switch, I wanted to curl up in bed and play it. We're excited to bring the game to a mobile platform. With the Switch, we can make it portable without sacrificing any of the visual or gameplay quality."
