and attract negative publicity when it inevitably looks a lot worse than existing versions. kinda a big deal for a game where atmosphere & detailed visuals are one of the main hooks.

I don't see a rating board rating something out of nowhere. maybe they sent the game for rating and then had second thoughts, changed plans, etc...

I understand that Brazilian rating boards require smaller evidence of the game, compared to other boards. Astroneer, rated in 2018, came out last year, 4 years after the rating.
Two big misses of the board, WoW Xbox and Unravel 1 for Switch probably got rated in the concept phase but got canned afterwards. The other leaks came true, but months after their leak.
We don't know when RDR 2 was rated or even if it's still coming. We could be closer to it's release or it might not release at all.

Beyond the fact that there's no rating for Cloud versions of games on Switch, there wouldn't be a Brazilian rating for such thing, because they don't offer the Cloud games on our eShop.

I'm saying it would be "rushed" to be launched at Switch 1 in its last year. At this point it should be optimized for Switch 2, I would think.

It's not a mutually exclusive situation here, it can be both?
Developers and publishers arent suddenly gonna stop releasing games for Switch 1 once NG Switch is about to come out.
If this indeed is happening, it's definitely not a rushed port and has been in development for quite a few years. Because it would be a massive task to get this running.

This isn't really a thing anymore, this stopped for home consoles around the PS1 and PS2 era and stopped for portable consoles after the 3DS. It would be quite funny though if they released a so-called "Red Dead Redemption 2" that was just a reskin of the first game with a different world and assets and features ported over from the second game ala Quake 2 on Nintendo 64.

Ah I see. Well honestly? We've hard this rumored years ago so the idea has been out here for at least 4 years....so I don't really think it would have been rushed.
Plus the current Switch is here and has 130+ mil owners everywhere, so while the port does sound more attractive on the newer hardware they were very, very likely working on this for years now.

wait a minute, RDR2 would be Switch first ever 100 gigabyte game or am I missing some "huge" releases?
btw, I would love to play RDR2 again on Switch, just to feel the energy there.

This is a really curious one. A Switch 1 port will certainly be the worst looking version of the game, but a well optimised Switch 2 version could hypothetically end up as the best looking console version, considering they never updated the game for PS5 or XBSX. From the rating it seems like we're getting the first one, and I wouldn't hold out hope for a Switch 2 patch, given they didn't do so for the other consoles, but it's still interesting to consider.
Also, count me as cautiously optimistic about the Switch port. RDR2 is a technically impressive game, but a lot of what makes it look so good is the excellent art direction that's consistently applied throughout the game. A Switch port would certainly have to run at lower resolutions, with reduced quality assets and reduced or removed graphical effects, but if they can avoid changes that significantly impact the aesthetic of the game (like the lighting system, or the weather and mist/fog effects), then you could end up with something that still looks like RDR2, although obviously significantly scaled back in quality.

They're not rushing the port tho, Totillo has heard it's been in the works since 2019. Switch 2 can just get a straight port of the PS4 version, so the heavy porting work is for Switch 1.
The Witcher III took a while and there's a gams Saber(I think?) is porting that is taking like 3 years to come.
Anyways I'm happy more impossible ports are coming. With the amount of time that one took, I definitely expect it to run and look great and them pairing back the right things.
Can't wait to see it!! Expect either a random announcement like next month(just like RDR got announced randomly in August for a release later that month) or a February Direct announcement.
I'm not sure of any port that took 3 years. The Witcher took around a year

assuming this has been actively in the works since Stephen Totillo talked about it back in the day, it's gonna be a really impressive as I feel like Rockstar wouldn't want a botched release of their most recent major release in the same way CD Projekt wouldn't have released a complete shitshow for Witcher 3.
It will make the lack of a GTA V port even funnier tho as it would supposedly be a much easier port work if we're talking about the single player alone (which I'd honestly think would rake in a ton of money).
Can ratings be done a long time in advance for unreleased hardware ? (my guess would be no but you never know)

Anyways, seeing Batman Arkham Knight getting on Switch makes me kind of wanting to believe this is gonna be on Switch 1. But yeah, there is a possibility it might be for the Successor aswell.
But yeah, I firmly believe RDR2 comes to a Nintendo platform, although I am not sure if it will be Switch 1. I'm more leaning on Switch 2, from what Zelnick said.

Thing is, when I joined these forums, there were some talks about RDR1 getting on Switch, and one mentioned to me about a tweet of Totilo saying RDR2 was in the works for Switch and/or Switch Pro.
The Brazilian ratings board could have seen that and posted on the ratingsboard? Note that this tweet is from 2021. And since Switch Pro isn't a thing anymore, possible being a thing on Switch 2.
Also, in 2019 the Switch Pro Controller was found in the files of RDR2

You're not searching wrong. The Switch portion has been removed from the listing. What that means is anybody's guess. But:
1. If adding the Switch as a platform was a mistake, there was no reason to update the listing. Red Dead 2 is already available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
2. This isn't a case of copy-paste confusion with the Undead Nightmare listing, which isn't on Xbox One or PC.

Not to sound like a conspiracist but it would seem like someone was more concerned with having it show up in the listing than leaving a mistake up (if it was a mistake).

Sounds strange to have this when Switch 2 is (likely) just around the corner? I mean even from a financial perpespective:
which of those do you think is more likely to turn a profit? To be honest, I'm not even sure it would sell more copies on S1. A mobile version with crisp and as good or even better visuals... People will buy like cupcakes specially if an early release when there's not that much competition on the system yet.
Also, how legit are these "rating" leaks? I mean, does Nintendo go knocking on every country's/region's rating provider and say "Hey guys, we have these games coming, please don't tell anyone."? This always sounded so strange to me, it's a huge red flag there and the risk of leaks is just something I can't fathom Nintendo (or any other company for that matter) to be confortable with.
- a watered down version of a game, that likely took much longer to port and needed a lot of new assets made from scratch, that'll be sold on a system with a +100m userbase
- a 1:1 port, less time consuming and no need for new asset development, that'll be sold on a new system which is the new thing

Publishers have to submit the games for the systems. So yes, this is always a risk of a clerical error or a publisher pushing a game back. Some games also just aren't searchable so I guess there's a way to prevent leaks if the publisher cares enough.
As for why do a port now? Well then you can sell the game to Switch owners and maybe even sell an upgrade patch for Drake. Regardless of which system, you play on it, you still get the game

Thanks for clarfying this for me. So, if I understand correctly what you said, then these ratings can be "hidden"? it's weird then that they're not all hidden.
Regarding the port, I think the wow factor is just much bigger if you show it as a full fledged portable experience on pair (or better) with PS4/X1 (kinda like how surprised people were with Skyrim when Switch was first unveiled), rather than dumb it down to be playable in Switch 1 and then say "Hey guys, remember that downgraded bad looking game we released a few months back? Well, if you want you can pay for a Switch 2 patch!". Not sure how they'd make more money, but I'm pretty sure they'd have better PR and brand awareness if they went the Switch 2 route. But that's just my view
When publishers send their games to be rated in the ratings, they usually do so by stipulating that starting on X day the rating becomes publicly available in the listings. Frequently, these dates tend to be prior to the confirmation of a game/port due to different causes.Thanks for clarfying this for me.

as of right now there are multiple possibilities :
- listing went public too early and it's coming to Switch 1 (and 2 hopefully)
- listing went public too early and it's coming to Switch 2 only
- it was a mistake somehow and it's not coming at all to either as of right now or the near future (but maybe switch 2 eventually)

Yeah, this is what actually happened. They secretly rated the game for Switch 1 some time ago, but this week, accidentally revealed the rating that was supposed to be hidden. Brazilian boards did this thing before.
