Bethesda loves porting games, and they will continue to do so, by bringing Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition to the Nintendo Switch 2. This version of the game will contain Fallout 4's six expansion DLCs along with over 150 Creation Club items. No specific release date was given, other than a 2026 timeframe.
The definitive edition of Fallout 4 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. It’s been ten years since players first stepped out of Vault 111 and into the post-nuclear world. To mark the occasion, Bethesda Game Studios is thrilled to announce Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition. This is the ultimate celebration of a beloved classic, bringing together the complete Fallout 4 experience on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
This guys at Bethesda and Microsoft are such egoists why not give also something for the Switch 1 users too like a Fallout 3 + New Vegas for the old One seeing that it's something the players have always cried for because if you ported Skyrim why can't you do the same with older Fallout.
It's a uhhhh... hard question. First of all you gotta take in mind that one of the core aspects of Fallout games is their writing. They are for the most part satirical games that can also get very political at times
Fallout 4 is definitely the most different Fallout of all the main series. This is specially important regarding the RPG system
Every game before Fallout 4 follows a points system for skill (from 1-100) and a perk system every certain amount of levels that can give you special skills or advantages (more damage to X type of enemy, better critical chance on X factor, etc etc).
This has been tradition since the first Fallout. Fallout 4 really just has a general skill leveling system
On the other side of the coin, New Vegas and Fallout 3 are becoming old at this point (around 15 years old already) and require a lot of modding to work. They are really starting to show their age. There is also the matter that they are.. basically the same game? Fallout 3 and New Vegas were developed at the same time, sharing the same core from engine to gameplay to assets, to the point you can mod them to work together like a singular game.
Having said so, I personally (Like many) hold New Vegas in a special place on my heart as it's the most direct sequel to Fallout 2, (story-wise at the very least), made by Obsidian instead of Bethesda.
If you want to play a fun shooter with a coat of paint of "Fallout", then Fallout 4 is fine enough
If you want to know Fallout as it was intended to be, I would take New Vegas every day of the week, even if it takes some time modding. Writing is solid and gameplay is very fun. You can also gamble lol
New Vegas has its infamous 18 month dev time and was released in 2010, Fallout 3 is from 2008.
So why does New Vegas share so many assets with 3? cause Obsidian didnt have time to so reused a ton of already existing assets.
Outside of the assets they are very different, NV being more story and actual characters where 3 has a cool world but well... Emil wrote it...
Rather stick with the pc version and my mods... Have 420 mods lmao. I would play on switch 2 only if it would have mod support (at least bethesda.net mod support), but eh its nintendo so lmao they could never.
I couldn't play without mods at this point really. Modding games has spoiled me so bad, and so any time I play any game, and in particular a console game, I am right away trying to figure out how I can get it on my PC and mod it. Playing unmodded, no fixes, no patches, no extra content... I don't know, it feels so... incomplete.
Must be horrible to play games this way without knowing of all the many things you could do with the game if you had a PC instead of a console.
I don't know I can't get into the Fallout games they seem cool but I just don't get very far into them same for Elder Scrolls games not saying they're bad though they just don't hold my interest.
the switch 2 has failed imo. these announcements prove it. nothing against fallout 4 but porting old games there are already available on other systems isnt a method of success. specially when those ports havent been seen as better and take more time and development work to get functional than there seems to be interest in them.
the things customers are saying they want nintendo isnt working on. they arent listening to customers and this is what happens in the entertainment industry when u strip the entertainment value and start playing chess with products to manipulate $$ out of the person ur supposed to be entertaining. it starts well but hardly ever ends positively or successfully.

its been this way on consoles for a long time with CFW homebrew. most functionality from modern gaming comes first from homebrew ideas and mods.
theres tons of stuff that fan communities have came up with that companies shut down because they cant find a way to profit off it and tons of stuff they have taken from fan communities and wrapped a bow on and started charging for the fan ideas like the company was the one that created them.
companies are mostly IP holders and must act like criminal mafia organizations because the patent systems is built off criminal intention.
the root cause to alot of humans problems right now is advancement and access related because of patents.
