Looking forward to this.... Hopefully it's playable :)

I agree!  This is also something I would be surprised to see.  However, I never thought Civ would come to a console again and here it is.  I told my wife about this, and she said. "Never say 'never'.  You never thought Dr. Strange would get a movie or Unbreakable would get a sequel."  She's right.  So many things I never thought would happen are happening.  Lets bring HoMM to consoles!  I want to believe!

This would be awesome if it happened.  I used to really be into PC gaming, because there were so many great strategy games on the PC.  In my mind PC gaming is really about Strategy games, RPGs, Sims and Adventure Games.  I could never get into FPS games, and other action games were just plain better on consoles. 

I would love to see all of the great old school PC franchises come to Switch.  We've already got Diablo and Civ on the way.  It would be great to also get Starcraft, Heroes of Might and Magic, Master of Orion, The Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Baldur's Gate, etc....  If devs want to bring these old PC franchises to the Switch then I am more than willing to pay.  It's already got old school console games like Octopath Traveler.  Let's see the old school PC games too!  

Actually, you really can't compare iOS to the Android like that in terms of optimization. The former is a very closed platform just like consoles with a solid software development stack and has relatively high technical infrastructure standards compared to most of it's competing devices so you can be very well sure that it's devices are just as well optimized as consoles are like the Switch is. The latter on the other hand is mired with beyond terrible video drivers, lagging CPU designs compared to Apple and they STILL haven't dropped support for 32-bit apps makes sure that Android will remain as a dumpster fire of a platform for performance critical application development in the foreseeable future ... 

I would say that iOS development environment is pretty comparable to the Switch in terms of high performance game development ... 

Performance on iOS will mostly depends on the device running the game so it'll be interesting to see how the Switch compares to the iPhone X but it's a very high comparison point even for the Switch ... 

DF made a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10Xdf0A70SQ

I think I can, despite iOS is more closed platform than Android they are both platforms that are not focused on games and are built with mind to do similar things like computers and to work onwide variety of different types of hardware. So my point still stands, again, Switch is a console, hole Switch OS, tools, APIs, hardware... all is totaly made in way to take most of games on first and last place, hole Switch is made to use most of games, while you cant say same thing for iOS.

whole ≠ hole

That video has to do with Fortnite, not Civ 6. And the comparisons are no doubt graphical ones, instead of CPU speeds, which is what Civ 6 cares about. The Switch version can have PS1 era models for all I care. So long as you aren't waiting longer than 20 seconds between turns. 

November 16th? This proves that Nintendo was indeed holding back release information during E3. There is no way this game's development did not extend to before E3. I keep telling people that Nintendo does not take E3 as seriously as the public and media would like. They have their own form of media and they are going to drop bombs on us at their discretion alone. Great pickup for Nintendo as well. I think this is the first mainline Civilization title to reach a console since the PS1 era (I could be wrong but I think I am right about that).

Yeah, I'm writing off their E3 from now on. It's just another direct to them. Had they included Civ 6, and Crystal Chronicles Remaster it would have been a much better E3 showing. And those are bombs that any other company would have dropped at E3. 

Nintendo's e3's in recent years seem to focus mainly on one big release coming in the near future.

2016- breath of the wild

2017- Mario Odyssey 

2018- smash ultimate

They rarely announce anything new at e3 anymore.
