Why would devs back another underpowered Nintendo console?

I am 0% convinced skyrim will even appear on the Switch, as far as I could tell it was simply video playing for marketing purposes.

Dark souls? Yeah sure... we'll see about that next month too...

I think both will be on Switch, but really what is the big deal with Skyrim?

It's a 5 year old game, lol, whoopity doo. 

Japanese developers I think will actually try reasonably on the Switch though, but for obvious reasons ... Switch figures to be the dominant game platform in Japan, so they have no choice but to take it seriously. 

Unlike the DS/3DS as well, Nintendo's never had a portable this close to current generation Japanese games either (even if the specs are underwhelming to some). 

seeing the latest leaked specs from digital foundry just makes me even more skeptic, especially on dark souls. This game does not even reach 60 fps on the PS4, imagine how it would run on such a low powered hardware.

Having said this, From Software is probably my favourite developer nowadays with Bloodborne as my game of the generation so far.
