I was never aware that there was particular grief that Skyrim in particular was not on Nintendo platforms.

Nintendo fans (like myself) bear some scorn towards Bethesda and Zenimax as a company for how they have deliberately avoided supporting Nintendo platforms over the years, but that is irrespective of the games they deliver. I fully expect for there to be an excuse when it comes time as to why Skyrim, or any other Bethesda/Zenimax game, can't come to Wii U


i can see why they did it on Wii, i mean Skyrim, Fallout and Oblivion are huge games,and when i say huge i don't mean the open world or something, i mean the content and the scale, and Wii isn't capable of doing it, there is no other work around for it, heck even the HD consoles are struggling to keep a straight face sometimes.

but the WiiU can actually handle it perfectly ,it can even use the controller screen for lots of great things, such as inventory management and conversation picking , i myself am excited to see what they can do with it.

If there's one thing i've learned in 12 years of Nintendo fandom, it's that third parties like to move goalposts. Sure the excuse now was about a console's power, but remember the GameCube?


The gamecube was also less powered for Morrowind, hence why they didn't release it on PS2, believe me its not because they hate nintendo or something, i find that argument to be silly since, as far as most publishers care about, is that they want their game on as bigger crowd as possible, some do it retardedly like try to appeal to the masses (ala try to make it like Call of Duty for example), but thats a different thread all together

the gamecube and PS2 were not enough for morrowind, but the Xbox was , and even that barely was stable,if you've played morrowind on Xbox , then you'd know about the loading times and lots of texture popping.

you should see the PS2 port of Deus Ex , it was really pretty laughable. (btw deus Ex is not related to Elder Scrolls, its a different game, i'm just giving it as an example of a PC game ported to consoles back then)
