Source engine on the Nintendo Switch

[slug-ish]

About the Portal: Companion Collection, They will have to port the source engine to the Nintendo Switch. Since the source engine is what you could consider the tastiest pasta in the world, I wonder how they're going to go through with this. Will they use a new engine? How much will the game sell?

Source its meant to be otimized for every sort of system.
They will do some few patches here and there,
Patches that might come because of the Steam Deck release (Kinda of irony)
They won´t do in a new engine.
Switch might be simple as game console but even the most toaster system in earth would be able to run source games with no "problemo"
Source 2 its not a option here,
Source 2 requires a system like a PS5 or a modern Gaming PC
(something that switch doesn´t have)
So VALVe,to avoid doing too much work,will simply port source games with few patches.

But this comment can change whatever games they desire to port them into switch

Portal companion collection might sell 10000 copies because of the hype of seeing Portal content back after so many years of NO portal content,
Also might add that this can be a branch to put other source related games into Switch
Which might boost the player-base of these games by introducing new demographic to these old games;

The Nintendo switch uses an Nvidia Tegra GPU. Valve already ported the source engine to a device that uses a Tegra GPU when they ported HL2 and Portal 1 to the Nvidia Shield back in 2014. So I'm assuming that makes things easier but there is probably still a lot of work to be done. The games will definitely use their original engines.

Switch is NVIDIA powered, it'll run it better than a PS4.

EA originally published L4D2, basically did most of their marketing. They helped Valve release L4D1 & 2 and their other games at the time like The Orange Box on consoles.

The L4D franchise is owned by Valve.

It is, but EA in the past has published their games on consoles for them, including Left For Dead 1 and 2.
Go look at the console versions of The Orange Box, EA published them. I don't see a future for Valve in the console market, is what i'm saying.
