"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. 

I think we're in assumption territory for now. Nintendo has already shown the partnerships list but nothing has come up yet and probably nothing will until January hits. You're thinking it's unlikely they'll get these kinds of games based on history. However with recent reports from NVIDIA about ease of porting and such and with recent remarks by the higher ups from Bethesda and Ubisoft, I'm kinda inclined to wait and see (which I'm sue you are as well) because not everything is set in stone.
