Really really wish they included everything on cart... I want to save storage space.

Technically they can. It takes 35-40GB on the PS4, so putting it on the 32GB cart shouldn't be an issue. That's if they opt for the 32GB cart.

Haven't the previous AC ports on Switch had sub 20FPS performance? Seem like bad ports.

The Ezio collection (from what I remember) uses the upscaled original engine designed for PS3 and X360, so I would expect solid performance

Yes, and no, only Assassin's Creed III has bad performance. IV and Black Flag are running fine

No, the Rebel Collection is a great port. AC III Remastered is buggy but the framerate is good. No sub 20fps.
