I love that BETHESDA is loving the Switch. They might bring over other great games, like the Fallout Series; but truly on the go!

I sure hope they do. It will likely depend on how well Skyrim does though.

Were those Godrays?, Graphics are looking good, I think this version is being made using Special Edition's graphical engine.

i didnt see any

I'm more curious as to why that Tweet says June 29th, 2536, I call fake.

I wasn't talking about the fake tweet, was talking about the people here who actually thought a port would affect TES:VI's release date.

So is the TESVI legit or is it fake? Is there really a new TES game? I don't see how a port would affect a mainline game, it's like people thinking MK8 Deluxe would somehow delay Xenoblade 2's release.

no, there isnt

 

[the_randomizer]

no, there isnt

I was gonna say, people are really thinking this affects a nonexistent game?

Todd Howard from Bethesda said it's coming but it's not coming for a while.

I see, fair enough I suppose.

I really want to buy this game to support Bethesda on Switch, but... god, I have no interest in playing Skyrim.
I do really hope it sells well, though.

Why are you guys complaining? this opens up a door between bethesda and nintendo. not only that but Skyrim to go. without an internet connection required or a heavy or awkward laptop. and likely mod support which likely would be eating up space on your switch's sd card. still the graphics are decent fro a portable version.

I highly doubt nintendo will allow mod support. I think everyone here is familiar with Nintendo's view on modding.

Damn! I had no plans to buy a Switch but I really hope this game sells. It's not the Amiibo support that has me hype. Motion gaming is back!

Ugh...I have always hated motion-gaming..that was the one thing that turned me off in the trailer.

i had skyrim back in the x360 days. Never play much of it but might be more due to the xbox rrod and the fact that it took a while to get into skyrim.
But i jut might pick this one up on the switch.

We don't have official confirmation on that though. It's up to Bethesda, not Nintendo. Sony was resistant to mods at first no?

 

[SuperDan]

yeah i will grab it !! i haven't really played my switch much since i bought it ... $60 price tag is a be much .. but its skyrim again so when it gets a bit cheaper i will buy this again

Its not being advertised as the special edition so I think its just a modified goty edition

but its still an old game being ported.

you know when i say shit like nintendo lack games because its cheap and hasnt got the hardware.

well if they did have the hardware then nintendo gamers would have been able to enjoy this years ago.

not wait for nintendo to catch up to get it ported.

problem is, cost, if zelda was nearly £60 is this going to be the same because i can see this needing a large cart.

 

[Risingdawn]

Amazing that we can now get games with such a massive amount of content and gameplay like Skyrim on a handheld.

Will definitely be picking this up for some Dragon slaying on my commutes. A great game.

When you look at the Vita and 3DS handhelds have just lept light years with release of Switch.

you can buy it for me instead if you want, lol ;P

Gonna wait till there is official confirmation, because a lot of people are saying all the DLC is included, so, I'm not saying yes or no. People are saying Bethesda stating it as the SE version.

The version being ported to the switch came out 8 months ago, I don't think the "old game" is valid in this argument
