when is skyrim coming out for switch?

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

No, I care. By the way, Injustice 2 team asked if we want it for Switch. Wait and see. And other lists after E3. Hopefully.

Hopefully it will actually be a good port than a butchered one (like they did with the WiiU).

Of course.

You got the Limited Edition Joy-Cons. Why are you complaining?

Yeah right, "early bird limited edition" /s

 

[DocAmes1980]

Shit console. 90% of the games are titles you could get better versions of on better platforms, for less money.

The two system selling titles it does have are Wii U ports that don't demonstrate a generational leap in performance.

I'll finish the games I bought and then not touch the system until backups can be run. I'm not giving Nintendo another dime. I'm done until they go 3rd party (very unlikely) or until they make a sane, regular ass console that can compete in the market and isn't based around a gimmick.

Snip

Many of those you listed could still be coming to Switch. Many are FPS games which are better off on PC. ME:A is just plain shit, so dodged a bullet there.

And again, you're only talking AAAs. They just announced Thumper and Owlboy on Switch, which is pretty much all I need in my life on top of first-party Nintendo stuff.

I remember seeing MEA the other they strongly reduced on the store, and even yet not worth it... Such a disappointment.

Didn't it say somewhere it would come around July or August??

Also, great to know the Switch is doing great. I'll pick one up when XBC2 comes out.

Could but probably won't, unfortunately.

No Mass Effect: Andromeda

Aw man, no MEA on Switch... Man, that makes my face tired.

Multiplats help consoles push sales tremendously. Look at how successful the WiiU was.

Riiiiiight. Because ME:A, of all games, singlehandedly sold a buttload of systems.

The point is that a video game console needs multiplats to survive, exclusives alone aren't enough. Xbox One has barely any exclusives and is doing very well.

Like it, hope 3rd parties get on board tho. I have a PS4 but still would rather have it on a portable device.

Skipped the Wii U and playing the heck outta Mario Kart 8.

I'd put down Dark Souls, Tomb Raider, and Rocket League as high likelihood for Switch ports. GTA 5, South Park, AoT, and Injustice could all be ported pretty easily, but those are less likely.

Still haven't seen a Switch in real life. I'll pick one up someday, probably after a hardware revision gets released for it. Zelda and Mario Kart look cool but I don't think they're worth picking up a Switch for.

 

[froatsnook]

Still waiting on my preorder.

 

[farmin]

Still really enjoying the thing.
It's been such a ridiculously stacked year of releases I haven't really minded the lack of must-have titles as it lets me take my time with the games that are on it.
Still only about 1/3rd through BotW, playing I am Setsuna (missed it on PS4), when friends are over I can bust out the Mario Kart and I can't stop playing Thumper (missed the PS4 release too).
The portability really can't be undersold, it seemed like such a novelty initially but it makes the thing so damn accessible and casual especially with the sleep mode and fast, responsive UI.

I would LOVE to "Rip and Tear" with Doom 4 on the go, holy shit it would run so good with Vulcan... Even OpenGL would be okay.

I didn't see a date on the box, but I saw in my local Gamestop a Switch case for Skyrim Special Edition, soooo.... it's something?
