Absolutely ZERO risk. They announced the 6th version of a 5 year old game already profitable long ago, and with enough existing versions to find one which will easily work on the Switch. It can release really easily without any risk for the developer and a really minimal investment.

It will start to get interesting when Fallout 4 and future Bethesda games will be announced too. Until then it's only a previous generation game being announced on a console rumored to have a previous generation power. Nothing about the future here.

Definitely something about the future of Nintendo though!

Think of it this way, they have a lot of japanese RPGs on their 3DS. To tap into the western RPGs market is so healthy for them in the future.

But in terms of risk I agree with you, we just don't know how much the remake port will cost since Nintendo never got Skyrim and we don't really know the full architecture of the Switch. 

What I mean about the future is that it's kind of like if they announced Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered on the Switch but not Infinite Warfare. Or for Japanese games, like if they announced FF12 remaster but not FF15. As long as the games announced are games from the previous generation, for me it doesn't show that the console will be able to run the future titles, and maybe that's why they're stuck with a 5 year old game for their reveal trailer. So no guarantee for the future big 3rd party titles.

They will get the handheld games and developers they already have on the 3DS for sure, but I wouldn't be confident about future big home console 3rd party games until they actually announce one.
