Is this a mobile game port?

Gear.Club does seem to be a series that's out on mobile, but not sure about "Unlimited".
There's Gear.Club - True Racing on Android.
Here's the curve ball. https://itunes.apple.com/app/id949870726?mt=8
It's a mobile game, most likely an enhanced port.
But hey, if the game ended up looking something close to that trailer, wonderful.

Doesn't look bad for mobile, if they are serious about making this more than a port then it could turn out really well.
The main issues i have with most mobile games is their Monetization, time gated content and lack of respect for the costumer.
I'd be happy to give some mobile games a try if they come across to Switch without these issues. I'd double dip on most Kairosoft games in a heartbeat.
I liked Puzzle Dragons on 3DS and Implosion on Switch, and there are a few others that have PC versions i like also.
A game being on mobile doesn't make it bad, it's the practices it adopts or quality of the product that does.

Outside of a few titles i can't agree with your eshop sentiment.
Hence why I said a bit.
I love the Switch, and have put a shit ton of hours in the three games I own for it, and obviously would always want more games, and even if a game doesn't interest me it doesn't hurt to have it there.
I just hope we're not going to get to a point where mobile games find a new home on the switch due to it's portability and the thought that it might be a great "fit".
I certainly wouldn't be happy if Gameloft started releasing all their games on the Switch for example.
Most mobile games are very basic in nature given the platform they're developed for, and I'm not saying mobile games are shit. There have been some absolutely great games I've played on mobile like Monument Valley, Hitman Go etc but I don't want them on the Switch.

Watching iOS gear club videos, it reminds me of real racing 1 which was a great game but not a real sim, very much like a codemasters grid game but a little more arcade-like.
Holy shit I would LOVE Monument Valley and its sequel on the Switch, are you kidding me? Give me a 2-in-1 and I'll buy it immediately. Also, VOEZ might actually be my second most-played game on my Switch right now; another mobile port. Implosion also fits perfectly on the console.

No Switch version screenshots have been released yet. So it can hopefully only look better, specifically the background meshes and testures....
I imagine it should look quite a bit better. I hope they promote the game like crazy, because there aren't any other games on the NS like it. They'll have this market all to themselves for a while, so I hope they can capitalize on that.
I'd take a longer Monument Valley sure but I wouldn't want the eshop to be full of short titles like that. Even though it's perhaps the greatest mobile game I've played personally.
I guess I'm being unfair with regards to Gear Club, so I'll reserve judgement. Perhaps it's going to be vastly different to the experience on mobile devices.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Casually interested. Need to see some in game screens/vids of gameplay.
