This is so important to remember.

WiiU started with the same kind of big poster of company logos : THESE are all the companies that are on board with WiiU! WOW.

Then what happened was :

They dropped out after a few or zero games made

and/or

They made shovelware

and/or

Their few release(s) sold terribly

Well they didn't do this song and dance with the Wii or the Wii U.  Bethesda isn't like EA, Ubi, and Activision who will dip their toes in almost any console.  I'm convinced you could launch a new console you made in your basement and if it is powerful enough you can probably get at least the latest Assassin's Creed on it :P

Bethesda that is.

PR? they literally said a publishing partnership (nintendo and bethesda publishing together) that's not PR that's business. 

it's funny, when the facts are right there people still choose to be sceptic, but if the rumor is that bethesda said "nx sucks" then would be a fact

If the Switch is 1/2 the power of a Xbox One, and everything at this point suggests this, then it's very logical for Bethesda to port all their big games to the Switch.

I think we will not just see Skyrim Remastered but also a Fallout 4 GOTY version in 2017. Probably a Dishonored GOTY version as well, and then the next Wolfenstein, The Evil Within 2, Starfield and so on.

Keep in mind circumstances.  Wii U was the direct successor to the Wii, a hugely successful platform many publishers failed to make good money on because their early efforts on it were so half baked their reputation was garbage.  With the Wii U, they didn't want to miss the gravy train.  Basically, they had a very powerful monetary motive to pay lip service to Nintendo then.  Not so much now with the Wii U having bombed.  Also, the Wii U was the only new console in 2011 when it was announced, developers had nowhere else to go.  The Switch is launching inbetween the PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio.  Just sayin, there's not much reason to be flippant this time around.  Not a guarantee, just that it's a better sign.  And like I said above, Bethesda doesn't just throw their loyalties around carelessly.  They adamantly did not support the Wii U because Nintendo never worked with or talked to them.  

Yes, thats EXACTLY what PR sounds like. If they were really fully into it they would have confirmed games which they intentionally didn't even when directly asked if Skyrim was confirmed even though it was clearly in the trailer. Personally I think they like the idea of the Switch. It just needs to be powerful enough and sell for them to be fully comitted to it.

but Nintendo is not even confirming games yet... until 2017

I forgot about that statement..

one can hope! :p

The PS3 had 512 MB of RAM.  It would probably just tip over and die if you tried to load Fallout 4 on that.  It's not a new engine, either.  Bethesda has used the same engine for the last 20 years.  The day they switch engines is the day half the internet sheds tears of pure joy.  Yes, they've updated it a lot between the release of Skyrim and Fallout 4 but it's basically the same.

Because the Switch can play Skyrim does not mean it can play Fallout 4 or other current generation games.  I think it makes sense to wait on the specs before making the assumption that it will get Bethesda's entire catalog.
