Having Skyrim on Switch is so amazing that people can't believe it.

So it could come at some point in the future, ok. That's what I said. And I do find it deceitful to put a game in a video, that's announcing a new console, that it has not been confirmed, but hey.

It looked to good to be true. :-(

I don't think they would've shown it if it wasn't very, very likely to exist. I reckon well get 100% confirmation of 3rd party games in the coming weeks.
I'm telling ya'll: Dark Souls 1-3 is announced, I'm gonna get the system. If I can have DS games and Zelda games on the same console then I'm in.

I don't think EA went far enough to show fake gameplay on thw wii u.
None of the games in the video, except for Zelda, have been yet confirmed. Because there is a timeline for announcements. This video wasn't about announcing games (proof being that you haven't seen any release date for any game in the video) but for making a first introduction for the hardware. More info will come. This was stated even by Nintendo immediately after the video.

...hate me...
This thread is a good litmus test for stupidity. Posts saying that Bethesda is dropping support from the Switch based on a post where they... confirm support, is one of the dumbest things i've ever read.
Any other platform and people would be saying "Bethesda come on, don't beat around the bush, we already know it's coming bla bla bla". Ugh.

Oh boy! More fuckery ala the Wii U ME3 port launching alongside the Trilogy on every other system! Woo!
I can't wait to see which game pulls an Injustice and waits until the other consoles have all the DLC before releasing it for the Switch.

I did find it a bit strange that it didn't say "Skyrim" in the legal BS at the end of the video, but it did say NBA.
But I can't imagine it's not coming, it was in the video, Nintendo's fucking reveal video... it will be a game on the Switch.

A lot of confirmed devs have been asked about the Switch and all of there responses are nearly identical to this wording

Which makes me feel like the developers are just under NDA (Bethesda included) until the full reveal

And that's what we are all saying here. Skyrim is not confirmed.
Wow, it begins.
What's beginning, exactly? I swear, some people will take anything they can have when it comes to Nintendo.
This is clear PR talk. Or do you honestly think that Nintendo would include like 20 or 30 seconds of footage of a game that has not been confirmed for the platform, even if it's not publicly?
No, you were saying that it's deceitful to use it in the video.

Then why fucking agree to show Skyrim in the debut trailer of a new system if you were worried about losing sales on Skyrim remastered on current systems?!!
I mean they knew they would have to make an outrageous politician like statement if they did show it on yet another console.

Skyrim is different from those games in that it's still moving units (like GTA5 lite) and has a no announced next gen sequel to make it look old before release.

LOL I just went to see E3 2011 and this looks really similar. Hopefully that's not the case.

Well, it's bethesda's statement saying it's not confirmed. It's a third-party.

Ahahaha...oh you guys! 
We can be 101% certain that publisher are not allowed to talk about any Switch game but it's okay. Just relax and think that the publisher cancel the games 10 minutes after the reveal.

Don't even know why they showed Skyrim in the reveal video. It's not the type of game I'd be jumping onto a Nintendo console to play.
Marvel
could never
Indeed.
Messaging, Skyrim is a signal that Nintendo is trying to get "core" games to their new system that people might want to buy.

Yeah but couldn't they have chosen a better game to make that point? Skyrim is some busted arse nonsense that only flourishes with a modding community. Like couldn't they get another third-party developer? Or hell, show Doom. That actually seems like a game people might realistically play on the thing.
And it seems to have worked I showed the teaser to a friend of mine who really does not like Nintendo and is a hardcore Sony fan.
His reaction at seeing Skyrim?
"Is that Skyrim? Holy Crap! You know Nintendo's finally making a good system now or they wouldn't have been able to get their support"
They probably had multiple reasons for doing this.
Dude, it's Skyrim. The general public eats it up. It's one of the biggest games of the decade.
Also, of course Skyrim is actually coming out for Switch.

We were told that after the NX reveal, 3rd parties would begin announcing games. Instead they effectively started to unannounce them.
As much as I think the game sucks, Skyrim was a critical and commercial hit that went onto become Bethesda's biggest game ever. Its visibility is not in question.
when keeping to PR timing announcements go terribly wrong. this is fairly standard these days, for other games
"yo, i saw the new character in the achievements. when it release?"
"we have nothing to talk about at this time, and we'd love to talk about new characters, but we''ll elaborate if we ever have those plans.."
"the achievement literally says it's a new character and what they do"
"lalalalalalalala can't hear you"

The full reveal is supposed to be next week
General public and gaming enthusiasts.
"Of course it will come out on Switch, it's just not the time to announce games yet, this was only to reveal the console."
Nintendo haters
"Hahahahaha!!! This is the Wii U all over again, developpers are already pulling out!!"
This is the FIRST day since the Switch is made public. We're in for a ride gents. :lol

I wasn't questioning the success of the game. More that I can't even trust Bethesda to optimize their games on the PC, the platform their RPGs like Skyrim are best suited for (thanks to a modding community fixing their screwups). Why would I think they're even going to try to put in the appropriate time for the Switch? I just would have been more excited seeing a third party I had actual faith in when it comes to them caring about the platform.

Lol wow if they can't even get a damn skyrim remaster on their console then they'll already be in trouble in regards to third parties.
It's a cool ass console concept tho I hope it takes off.
