That only rules out games currently in development. Skyrim is an old game and should be easily able to run on Switch, and new games can be designed to run on Switch if their production hasn't started yet (at least properly). That said, whether any future games are coming to Switch from Bethesda probably depends a lot on how other third-parties do, and if/when Skyrim is released on Switch, how well it does.

Anyway, I wouldn't expect huge Switch support from Bethesda.

you say this, but skyrim (the old version) runs like shit on the ps3, and this is a remaster with a new engine, not just an old game from 2011.

The PS3 had 512 MB of RAM.  It would probably just tip over and die if you tried to load Fallout 4 on that.  It's not a new engine, either.  Bethesda has used the same engine for the last 20 years.  The day they switch engines is the day half the internet sheds tears of pure joy.  Yes, they've updated it a lot between the release of Skyrim and Fallout 4 but it's basically the same.

Because the Switch can play Skyrim does not mean it can play Fallout 4 or other current generation games.  I think it makes sense to wait on the specs before making the assumption that it will get Bethesda's entire catalog.
