Bethesda’s Todd Howard on Switch: “One of the best demos I’ve ever seen”, promises support

"On board" doesn't mean much if they bail after 1 game.

Also why Skyrim ... a 5 year old game, how many people seriously are going to buy this game twice to be able to play it portably with worse graphics.

If Bethesda commits to the next Elder Scrolls game on Switch, a brand new game, then I will be impressed.

The Wii U had COD, Assassin's Creed, FIFA, NBA 2K, Madden, and Batman in the launch window, that's like 6/8 or 9 top "hardcore IP" of the day (GTA, Skyrim were the two missing ones).

Is Switch even getting COD? Probably not Battlefield, because EA said only one game and that's almost assuredly FIFA. GTA? Switch will likely be missing several here too. 

We'll see but I think the only third party launch window game that's going to sell great is Minecraft (assuming this is there for launch) and Monster Hunter XX. Nintendo fans are going to do their usual thing and buy Mario 3D Switch and Splatoon and then sit around waiting for Zelda. 

Actually, I think EA's title might be Plants VS Zombies, to try and catch some of that surprisingly big Splatoon audience. Cartoony unorthodox shooters are growing fast, and EA might try to keep theirs as competitive as possible with the likes of Overwatch, Splatoon and Paladins.
