I'm pretty sure we've seen Zelda playable, some 3D Mario and some sort of Mario Kart on what appeared to be playable form. We have not seen the same for Skyrim. Besides, as it was pointed previously, I'm not doubting Nintendo will support their own console, I'm only unconvinced Skyrim will be coming to it (and I'm obviously talking about the current remaster, not a port of the PS3 one) |
Yes we only saw Zelda playable at Fallon show, is that means that Zelda is only Switch game? :)
Again, whats a point of showing 3rd party game runing on new Nintendo console if that game is not 100% coming on that console!? Nintendo definitely wouldn't show 3rd game running on their console if they are not sure that game is coming. So we have Skyrim at Switch reveal trailer that showing Skyrim running on Switch, we have Bethesda saying that they supporting Switch, and at end we have confirmation from them that Skyrim is coming to Switch, but you are not uncovinced!?

That doesn't change the fact that it's a poor analogy, a 3rd party and a 1st party have completely different responsibilities. As for showing footage and cofirming releases and/or platform exclusivity; Final Fantasy V XIII, The Last Guardian, heck; Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Rayman Legends being first announced as a Wii U exclusive, and then delayed several times and finally made multiplat, despite reports that the Wii U version was finished some time ago. 3rd parties talk, they test and they make statements or promises. A lot of it is hot air. Given Nintendo's insanely poor track record with 3rd parties since the mid 90's, I really, really can't blame anyone for being skeptical, despite promises and footage (which wasn't even running on that hardware at all). For all we know, the Switch might receive a "light" version of Skyrim, more tailored for handheld gaming, maybe it'll be digital only, maybe it won't show up at all if sales of other 3rd party titles are poor. We don't know, we just don't, and by default, as a Nintendo fan, you should be more skeptical than most. Did the 7th and 8th generation inspire you to trust in the 3rd parties' will to wholeheartedly support Nintendo platforms? |
Not its not.
Comparing if some game is exlusive or if game will come at all on systemy are two toaly difrent things. Also Nintendo never said that Zelda BotW is exclusive Wii U title.
Skyrim is 100% coming to Switch, we saw Skyrim at Switch video, Bethesda confirms support for Switch and at end they confirmed game. Thats a point. I can be more skeptical about Dark Souls 3 for instance, but not about Skyrim, its all very clear about Skyrim.
