I'm in. Even at close to $50 I'm in.

Scratched my old Skyrim disk to hell years ago.

Loved the game and can't wait to get back in and finally get around to the DLC.

It's going to be lovely being able to just pick up and play Skyrim whenever and wherever.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Supports motion controls? Cool I would never imagine that coming from Bethesda. The game is definitely not the vainila version, looks clearly better. Let's hope is not plenty of bugs and a terrible framerate and it will be a good port, nice detail for Zelda fans btw, strange music choice though...

The motion controls might be a Nintendo requirement. It definitely has been in the past.

Skyrim re-master- "Holy shit, great to have a re-master of a classic game"

Skyrim Switch- "Huh! why have a port of a game that's over 5 years old".

Gamer logic at its finest.

I highly doubt that.

I really don't want to get into another "Nintendo could so we can't rule that out" conversation. and you could be totally right.

I just wanted to comment that they definitely, definitely had this requirement in the past. Have a good one.

What the hell? Who signed off on that song? It's so bouncy

I already have the game for X360 so I probably won't bite, but those motion controls look pretty nifty.

This will definitely be a good test of real world Switch performance as so many versions of Skyrim to compare and allthough old a very ambitious game of its day.

Being on a lot of systems doesn't necessarily mean it's a good example of the power of each one though. Bayonetta 1 is on five platforms if we include Xbone backwards compatibility, yet the notorious PS3 version isn't the best benchmark of that system's capabilities.

I'd have to disagree strongly with that. The ps3 was notoriously hard to develop for so there were many games for that format that failed to achieve a good peformance level especially early in its life. The Switch is meant to be incredibly easy to develop for so maximising performance on it shouldn't be a problem early on. The nvidia gpu and arm processors are incredibly well documented and well known by developers and all reports of the development software show it to be very good. There is also nothing complicated about the design either. The ps3 had 2 major banks of memory and the complications of moving data between them, a dual thread powerpc main cpu and 7 support cpu's all having to share memory access. The techniques developed to do this well only really came later in the ps3's life and weren't employed by all developers. Not a criticism as love the ps3 and when everything is firing on all cylinders its an absolutely amazing console for its day but certainly not a developers favourite I'm sure.
