And that could only be true for porting Shovel KnightHow would you know what ' s true , have you ported games ? Obviously its biased but you ' re speaking as if you have first hand experience with porting or the Switch . They haven ' t said that the Switch will be as powerful as X . If they could port the game easily , then power is irrelevant , because it could still run with few problems and less money . In general , go and read watch developer statements from the Wii U announcement . You did this before , and were wrong . Battlefield existed on the Wii U but was canceled for reasons unrelated to the system . Nintendo didn ' t want Origin and who does ? so they don ' t get the game ! Games missed the Wii U because it underperformed , so what ? The Switch hasn ' t came out , how can it underperform ? If the developers were given the ability to make games to the point where the console developers have them on a list of people who are making games on our console , that means they ' re making games on the console . If Bethesda weren ' t going to make Skyrim Switch , they would have said no , we ' re not making it for the Switch . If they weren ' t making it now , they would have said no , we ' re not making it for the Switch now . But they said neither . They said we ' re not confirming it . They didn ' t say no . They didn ' t say yes . They said Miyamoto will have his dog on our nuts if we confirm or deny anything before the NDA breaks . Until Bethesda says no , until Skyrim is wiped from all airings of the trailer and their name taken off the list , then Skyrim Switch will be on the Switch . There ' s no reason to work with a company you ' ve never worked with before if you ' re worried about it not working .
