Playing 'The Witcher 3' on the Switch shouldn't work, but it does

When Nintendo briefly mentioned in its barrage of E3 reveals that The Witcher 3 would be ported to the humbly powered -- and portable -- Switch, it beggared belief. The Witcher 3 PC install (DLC, expansions and all) demands just shy of 50GB of disk space. The biggest Switch cart is 32GB. So, can you make The Witcher 3 work on the Switch? And when the October 15th release date rolls around, will you want to play it? I played it for almost half a day at Nintendo's UK HQ earlier this week, and the answer is yes. But let me try to answer some of your (and my) concerns along the way.
