Nintendo and Bethesda Softworks have confirmed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is indeed coming to Nintendo Switch.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
It would be awkward if it weren't
Not to be "That guy" but with how strict Nintendo is about their games having minimal bugs, I wonder how this will get past their QA?
I personally will skip on Skyrim for the Switch since I already own a PC and PS4 copy, don't need a 3rd version, especially since Zelda sparked my interest.
Nintendo will not going to have enought third party game developers. Most nintendo owners will focus with Mario,Zelda,Pokemon,Monster Hunter for Switch. Nintendo will not going to make it even if its 4k resolution console. They should just focus with 3DS handheld. Nintendo lost all the third party developers from Sony after stupid decision to go with cartridge instead of CD for N64 system.
Hopefully with mod support...prolly not tho.
Woohoo, a last generation game on a new console, never seen that before!
