Really wish game development wasn't so full of bs and secretive. Just be fucking honest about what games you're developing and what you want to do in the future. NDAs and shit piss me off. Nobody is stealing your idea to make Skyrim.

Of course. It will be The Elder Scrolls: Hyrule, with Hyrule Castle pasted into the middle of Skyrim and with an exclusive Link outfit.

Nintendo is still dumb to have shown something that a publisher refuse to confirm at the moment.
And it's not a first for them, remember Wii U reveal in 2011. All of these games shown with half of them not coming.
Like the hat?

Yeah they're already losing some sales from people here on the ps4/xbo versions, like me for one. I went from day one ps4 to day one switch. If it doesn't come to switch then I'll get the ps4 version down the road for cheaper.
Please. It's like XCOM 2 didn't happen.
They probably don't want to affect their Fall sales, but Skyrim is clearly in the video.
People just assume Skyrim will be on the Switch when making decisions on what to buy.
All I can say now is: Unless Bethesda announces PSVR support for Skyrim within the next week, I will be making the SWITCH.

Yea, I can't imagine that one of the only 5 (?) games shown at the reveal isn't one that they actually have locked down. Would be pretty surprising, but then we all remember the EA Unprecedented partnership....
Today was a reveal and a proof of concept for the hardware. Not even Nintendo has announced the games for Switch. Have you seen a confirmation for Splatoon 2, Mario Kart Switch or Mario 3d Mexico?
That will come later. Ubisoft hasn't announced yet anything except Just Dance 2017. Why is this an issue with Bethesda?
Well they didn't say those were all running live demos in that trailer:
"Todays video incorporated short glimpses of representative gameplay to demonstrate the liberating nature of the Nintendo Switch home gaming system. "
I'm much more curious to see the actual games running and the performance
Because it hasn't been confirmed.

It was just a fullscreen video of Skyrim. Clever

Some are hoping for the Wii U Redux situation and actively pushing that narrative.
eh, not really. I'm sure many more people watched the Switch trailer than saw this bit of PR from Bethesda. seeing Skyrim playing in the trailer is the confirmation for most people.
also the Switch is coming out in less than a year whereas the Wii U reveal happened much further out
this is just PR doing the PR thang

da fuck?
That is some misleading advertising. Pretty sure this would be against the rules of the ASA in the UK.

Haha, ain't that the truth. "While a PC port is certainly a possibility, it's not something we're actively working on, but it's something we might consider."
1 year later "HEY PC PORT, BUY IT, IT'S FUCKIN AWESOME, POWER OF PC!!"

Exactly. Non-issue, just more PR fluff like SE's infamous Dragon Quest backtracking (and later retracking).
Explain please?
Mario 3d, Splatoon and Mario Kart haven't been confirmed either.

This is a proof of concept / pitch video for the system to the general public, nothing has been formally announced yet. Don't get your jimmies rustled.

Pretty much, I'm sure they want to sell the versions coming out next week first but there would be no other reason to allude to it running off of actual hardware in the system reveal trailer if it weren't a sure thing.
I'm sure Nintendo has learned from the Wii U reveal days

Lmao Betheseda and their usual bs. WE know it's coming to the SWITCH.
You can't pull a switcheroo on us!

If ends up not coming to it, isnt that false advertising? A console reveal, showing games played on it that arent actually there, would be kind of shady
Naw we never seen Battlefield running on WiiU, just some dude talking about imagine it on WiiU lol

That's hilarious.
Technically everything in that trailer isn't confirmed except Zelda.

I mean, its basically a phone. How could it run Skyrim?

It is still an ad. And it was presented in such a way that a reasonable person would assume that the games shown would come to the Switch. That not necessarily being true means it is a misleading ad.

This is not PR just doing the PR. This is beyond that, really. It's basically a game that's been used for a new console reveal and publisher backtracking on it. That's more than PR move, that's a shitty move.
True, I confused with Metro Last Light.
