Support NeoGAF

[nhlducks35]

you mean the upgraded version with better graphics/effects?

Doubtful.

From the video description

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch includes all-new gameplay features like motion controls for combat and lockpicking, outfits and gear from The Legend of Zelda. Take down enemies with the Master Sword, protect yourself with the Hylian Shield or look heroic in the Champion’s Tunic. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch also includes all official add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn.

So it does come with all the dlc

Who knows?

I bet it's a 64 bit version though, to run well on that CPU

 

[NateDrake]

Confirmed for 2017.

so at the very least it comes with all of the DLC, I guess I might be confusing names with the recent remaster that upped textures/effects.

 

[Takat]

They just said everything we saw, will be out this year.

 

[Macka]

I've never played Skyrim so I'm keen for this if it turns out to be a good port.

 

[TalentAlwaysWins]

The motion control gimmick.. looks horrible. Who thought that was a good idea? Yikes. and the Amiibo support?..

 

[slatis]

They just confirmed everything showed today is gonna be released this year. So Skyrim on switch this year!

 

[Experimenter]

Lol, have to admit I didn't see that Amiibo support coming.

 

[demosthenes]

No release date unveil bodes ill for a release this year.

At the end of the show they said "everything you saw here tonight will be out this year".

 

[13ruce]

Yup this is me buying Skyrim the 3rd time on day one.

 

[friskykillface]

They just confirmed everything showed today is gonna be released this year. So Skyrim on switch this year!

It'll release on Tuesday after the direct

Excellent. I was hoping it would include all of Skyrim. The lack of mods is disappointing but not a deal breaker at all.

Motion controls are a nice addition and something I hoped they'd include. Skyrim's combat is very simple anyway so motions to swing, block, use the bow are nice. I wonder how magic will be handled on that front. Amiibo support is nice but I wonder if that was all the support for it. Graphics wise it looks very nice as well.

 

[AgeEighty]

I hope the official name isn't actually "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch", because that's how the press release keeps describing it.

I think it looks pretty great myself. It might not be the full remaster, but it certainly doesn't look like the original release.

 

[GDGF]

Totally buying this. I've only ever played the intro.

 

[Luigiv]

Shame it's gated behind an amiibo but yeah, Links tunic is a no brainer inclusion.

Motion controls are an interesting choice. Feels like it's about 10 years too late but I do admit I did always want to see a motion controlled ES game. Well as long as they're optional, it's all good. Bonus if we can have a mode were gesture controls are disabled but gyro aiming is retained.

The motion control gimmick.. looks horrible. Who thought that was a good idea? Yikes. and the Amiibo support?..

you don't HAVE to use motion controls or amiibos.

I hate amiibos too don't worry.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

The motion control gimmick.. looks horrible. Who thought that was a good idea? Yikes. and the Amiibo support?..

Yikes for extra content and optional ways of enjoying the game?

You guys complain about everything. Wow.

 

[reelbigtink]

The motion control gimmick.. looks horrible. Who thought that was a good idea? Yikes. and the Amiibo support?..

It actually does not look horrible and neither does the Amiibo support. If you don't like them... don't use them?

 

[DooMAGE]

The motion control gimmick.. looks horrible. Who thought that was a good idea? Yikes. and the Amiibo support?..

You can play with regular controls too

 

[Thoraxes]

So they're sticking with calling it Skyrim

...why do I get the feeling that this is just the vanilla version of Skyrim from the 360 with no expansions but with Zelda stuff.

In the official video description:

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch also includes all official add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn."

 

[ohlawd]

those motion controls <3

 

[DrDomVonDoom]

They also said all the games shown were gonna be out this year.

 

[Marvie_3]

Buying Skyrim for the 3rd time

 

[Fuzzy]

Lol, have to admit I didn't see that Amiibo support coming.

I joked about it but I never thought they'd actually do it.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

In the official video description:

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch also includes all official add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn."

A bless. I doubt it supports mods though.

I'm getting this!

 

[Arkam]

Other than the motion controls (which I will ignore) this looks pretty sweet.

 

[TheGamingBox]

im not sure but some of the gameplay footage looked like it was running at 60fps, mostly when it was direct feed

 

[titiklabingapat]

Switch motion control is so much better than the Wii one right out of the box. I don't get the hate and it's optional.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

It actually does not look horrible and neither does the Amiibo support. If you don't like them... don't use them?

This guy will not buy a Switch or this game. It is grade A concerning troll

 

[Beatofficer]

No release date unveil bodes ill for a release this year.

At the end of the conference Pete Hines said everything we saw is out this year.

 

[Calm Mind]

My guess would be early October.

 

[Dremorak]

I was hoping they would add motion controls Hope they are at least decent

 

[jnWake]

Lmao at the music. I'm hype for this.

 

[Drewboy64]

Man, it's awful tempting, but I don't really want to drop 60 bucks for a game I've played already... but I do want more adventure games on my switch

 

[Shaanyboi]

Fuck it, if there's nothing inherently "on fire" about this, I'll buy Skyrim

 

[Jacobson]

Is this the Special Edition or the classic one? I can't tell.

 

[RomanceDawn]

The trailer has me intrigued, I'd very much like to explore that world. I guess I'm in!

Oh, I definitely know his schtick even from a while back when he was a junior.

 

[Lupin the Third]

I heard they said everything they showed at the conference would be out this year.

Spoiler

Apparently no one refreshes?

Spoiler

Lol half of those posts were in the same two minutes.

Ok, atleast we know talent always wins.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Glad to hear a confirmation of all DLC being included.

Don't get all the concern over the release. It's been known to be this year and this isn't a brand new game.

I have a Switch and like skyrim but go off

 

[AlexFlame116]

I'm in. I'm so so in!

 

[ProBusinessgamer]

graphics look meh, but its cool that its portable.

 

[Red Devil]

Eh, I was expecting Amiibo functionality the moment it was announced.

 

[lwilliams3]

Yikes for extra content and optional ways of enjoying the game?

You guys complain about everything. Wow.

Seriously. Personally, I think it is a cool feature that will attract an audience that does enjoy that option. And, of course, the connection with Zelda can potentially catch more attention from Nintendo fans.
