Is it me, or did Bethesda and 2K say almost the exact same thing? It's like they want to play it as safe as they possibly can with this. XD

so they showed some games in the NS trailer, but none of the developers can confirm it?

I don't think they would like being told what to say by Nintendo. If they are this vague, it's because they want to see how this thing does before porting their games. These two are the companies that trust Nintendo the least, and that has always been the case. Even Skyrim is not 100% confirmed, which is one of the dummest thing to happen with this. Why would Bethesda and Nintendo agree to show it if there is not a 100% certainty that the game is coming?

How much Nintendo paid them? There is nothing exciting about Switch compared to Wii U. All of them can easily make their games for Wii U right now:
Portable aspect? Off-TV play on Wii U.
Detachable Joy-Cons? Wiimotes.
Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon? Just upgrades existing Wii U versions with new content.
Skyrim? It easily can run on Wii U too.
Wii U also have advantages with additional touch-screen controller. Switch have, well.. puppy-head? Nothing, but cute.

The WiiU was a flawed concept. Aplying the DS doublescreen on a home console took a lot of power  that would have been useful in other areas, and its bad advertisement crippled people's attention for it. The Swich, while it has yet to prove itself, it looks like a much solid proposition from the beginning. The concept is easy to grasp, the tech seems to work well, and any other "gimmick" has been left aside (no double screen, no motion controlls, no 3D), the thing does what it says in the title. Nintendo is playing to their strenghts here, and Nintendo handhelds are always successful. Even big companies can't ignore an userbase of 50-60m if the porting work needed is not as big as it was before.

I agree that some companies are more excited than others, with Bethesda and T2's answers being jst great in how corporate and by the book they are. But that is always the case.

Yup, I think they will all announce their games on full Switch reveal, alongside Nintendo games offcourse.

Yup, Nintendo definatly paid to all them, :D. Switch is definitely way more interesting than WiiU, main difference is of course that you can play whenever you want and you can even play local multiplayer on go. Switch is handheld and home console in one, Wii U is home console just with tablet like controller, huge difrence.

Skyrim is Skyrim Remaster, not PS3/Xbox360 Skyrim. Also main point of showed games to show how concept is working not about games itself. NX games (that are not Wii U ports), exclusives, 3rd parties will be shown on full Switch reveal.

You can make Wii U game without double-screen, motion control and 3D effect. This is traditional gaming console with traditional controllers. Not some Frankenstein monster.

I see zero reasons for developers to be excited about Switch. Except money from N.

>Switch is definitely way more interesting than WiiU,

Nope, it's not.

>main difference is of course that you can play whenever you want

But Nintendo said that Switch "a home gaming system first and foremost". Your point is invalid.

>Skyrim is Skyrim Remaster,

And it's not even confirmed for Switch. Well done, Ninty! Bravo.

By the same logic, you can make traditional games on the Switch. If they work on the TV screen, they will work on the tablet, it's just configuring two diferent settings (TV mode and tablet mode with smaller resolution). That is traditional gaming too. And devs will find the Switch as the only modern console that can play their games on the go, which can be a really big selling point for some games.
