Yup, I'm game. Soon as I finish BotW, I'll be on the market for another open world extravaganza and this looks to fit the bill quite nicely.

Passion Pit is great! The music choice was odd.

DLC are huge expansions. So yeah. One adds a whole new class that the OG game didn't have for you to transform to.
All I really want is for switch to have mods. I'd love the 'a new beginning' mod.

I'm pretty bullish on Skyrim for Switch, but they didn't show the face for a reason. Skyrim face models are hilariously bad by modern standards. Plus they probably didn't want to draw too much attention to the idea that your Skyrim character will be cosplaying as link while looking like Sandor Clegane.

I'm not saying you do, but many on here do it. He usually makes me chuckle in his videos even if he's completely wrong.

I gotta be honest, those are some pretty immersive motion controls. I know they won't be for everyone and I imagine I'd really only want to try them out but not use them full time, but they look... so much more involved than I ever would have guessed in a million years. Like sure you swing your hand to swing your sword and you raise your hand to raise your shield, and you aim with the gyro, but the fact that you use the right JoyCon as the "arrow" and the left as the "bow" and you have to actually draw the arrow across the bow and back before release is crazy. I can't think of any other motion control that... immersive? Probably stuff on Vive or Oculus but I know nothing of their existence (please anyone feel free to give examples if there are).
Also, lol at now showing Link's face. The bottom of his face looks terrible and his "hair" from the back looked so so bad. Can you create your own character in Skyrim? Maybe they didn't show his face because it's not actually Link, it's just Link's clothes and weapons on your player-created character?

so we went from "nobody wants this" to "nobody can get it because there are no switches" ?
He or she is trying really hard, pretty excited for this. Perfect time to replace botw untill the dlc drops

But yeah, no mod support. Or it would have been mentioned in the mod section of the presentation. Still only Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
I mean, EA put in a lot of effort for FIFA18... so, like, anything can happen.
If not tomorrow, then it'll probably be unveiled at their 4th quarter games direct that'll be somewhere around September.
Yes, you create you're own character in Skyrim and yes of course that's just an armour set and nothing more.
Trust me, I won't. If I truly wanted the game, I would get it on my PS4.

Looks good! I'm terrified of Skyrim... I've never played and I know I'll spend way too much time with it.
Motion controls seem interesting but I probably won't use them long-term.

Probably will get a date at the direct in a few days.

ah that sucks on no mod support. Still, portable skyrim is too good to pass up.
Don't think mod support is up or down yet, since it was initially mentioned as possible months ago.

"This is some wild shit," or so I thought at first. It's pretty nice, still, but nothing groundbreaking. Hoping this sells well enough that we get future Bethesda games, tho.

About the music, I'm guessing this is the same trailer that will be shown in the direct.

They're available especially neon. Should find one at Walmart near by
Thats what I was thinking.

This is likely the case in most retail stores nationwide (in the US).

Ok looks good, I have the PC version, but playing Skyrim on the go has me thinking I'll double dip

Never played Skyrim so this seems like a great start.
Worried about the motion controls since gyro is what would make this game feel good but it looks like it's just to swing a sword or shoot an arrow (no aiming?) hope that's not the case

You're trying to hard.
Give me good 3D Rumble support and I'll be soooooo happy.
That's exactly why. That's the default Nord model, it's not supposed to be Link.

Welp... try Craigslist or eBay? Sometimes stores have stuff and I feel like they don't like to update on their stock with stuff cause I called my bestbuy and they said they're sold out if switches and I went to look and they had 2 neon.

Yeah its not Link. In Skyrim you create an OC

I have more faith in Bethesda bringing more games to the Switch if this ends up selling decently. Way more than EA anyway.

It's about as new as the game
. Actually I kinda get the impression some executive asked for a song like in Nintendo's Super Bowl ad and this was the closest thing they could come up with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUDkrkykvZs .Even if it's an old game, Skyrim is hugely important for the Switch and is probably the game with most mass-market buzz after Zelda. I believe Minecraft was one of the top-selling Wii U games despite showing up years late. I wouldn't be surprised if later this year we see Nintendo highlighting Minecraft and Skyrim as examples of 3rd party success stories on Switch.

Motion aiming, thank heavens. Not as sure about motion on the sword and shield, but I'd assume it's optional if it doesn't work out. Including all expansions is a nice and probably necessary perk given how conscious everyone must be of the price disparity between a new retail release and the frequent steep discounts on PC.
Might finally jump into this, though making the time for it may be a challenge. Not sure if I'd rather have it on digital or physical, though, depending on whether I'm likelier to dabble in it for a few hours here and there between other games, or binge on it and feel finished enough to tuck the cartridge away. Hope we get a broader range of Amiibo support, too, or this will drive BotW Link straight off the market like BotW itself already did for the older Zelda figures.
