HD Rumble Support is a maybe but I lean towards unlikely.  Depends on how easy it is to implement. 
New features...I'm not counting on that.  Motion controlled combat is probably the only immediately obvious option here and Bethesda has *never* done motion controls so I doubt they want to try it with Skyrim.
Visuals is a tough call cause I don't know the particulars of how demanding Skyrim Special Edition is feature wise.  I know it is far more stable and efficient than the original engine.  I think the visuals can be close but at a lower resolution probably (900p in dock and 720p out of dock?  Maybe?).  I also wouldn't be shocked if they opt for graphics setting downgrade between dock and undock in order to have the dock mode look the best it can since Bethesda has far more stake in the console space than the handheld space. 

I'm under the impression that HD Rumble actually requires some serious coding and will pertain to the software in the event of being done right. If it was a simple implementation then Breath of the Wild would support it and I remember Nintendo said the game will NOT support the function. Some people claim they can feel it while aiming the bow, but I think this is simply a case as the rumble is much more noticeable on the Switch than on other platforms. The PS4's rumble is rather weak and the Wii U didn't use much of it. That leaves only the Xbox One with decent rumble. Considering people like Suda51 wants to take advantage of it the feature. I think it's something that requires fine tuning to get right.

Maybe that's part of the reason why 1-2 Switch is a $50 game instead of a $30 game.


I'm a huge fan of Rumble and honestly this HD rumble was a selling point and made me cream myself. Feeling the recoil of shooting a gun or the clank of Sword clashing will be rather easy to do. The vibration and humming of a lightsaber with motion controls? OMFG GIMME!!! I CAN'T SPECULATE ANYMORE THIS FUCKING HUUUURTSSS!
