Review The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)
Stay frosty
The dream that, to be fair, probably only a handful of complete weirdos ever truly had, is nevertheless now a reality: with its much-heralded release on Switch, in a DLC-complete edition, it’s now possible to play Skyrim on the toilet. Or, more likely, in bed, or on a train or plane. Or even in the toilet of a train or plane. And so...

Talking Point What Game Should Be 'Switch 2's 'Skyrim Moment'?
Margit of error
There were several moments in Nintendo's pre-launch Switch marketing that left us a little lost for words: the hybrid form factor, our first look at Breath of the Wild, the way that one guy went to "walk his dog" but spent the entire time sat on a bench.

Can't wait for this. Hopefully the Switch gets amazing third-party support.
Finally a portable Elder Scrolls game!
I've been wanting Skyrim on a Nintendo console for ages! Taking it on the go sounds perfect!
FUS-RO-DAH!!
I'm so excited! And I hope this will lead to a remake of Oblivion on Switch too. Having Skyrim is already a great thing, but having an Oblivion remake would turn Switch into a real paradise!
Still cannot believe how expensive it is to get Skyrim. $79.99 Cdn dollars that's more than the PS4 version!
What amiibo work with the Switch version of this game? Its cool if its only a few I just wanna know.
I've played this game to death on my laptop, before it died 😭 Anyway, this game is awesome, and from what I've read, the switch version is shaping up amazingly. If u haven't played this game yet, I couldn't recommend it enough. If Nintendo adds mod support, as in real mod support, not like what Sony did, I'll b picking this up day one regardless of how much I've already played it. Taking this game on the go would b awesome, especially with mod support.
This will be amazing to have on the go. I too would love to see some Amii's for this title. I'm especially excited to see it's coming out sooner than I expected! Wohoo!
I hear that there’s no mod support. At all. 😭. I was hopeful with all I’ve heard about Nintendo being open to cross play with Xbox , but they aren’t even open to the bs that Sony allowed on their system. Boo. Poor choice. I would have loved to take a fully modded version of one of my favourite games of all time with me on the go. Looks like I’m sticking with my Xbox.
This system has the potential to really make serious ripples in the gaming world, yet choices like this... 🤢
How on earth is this edition £50 where the same ones on Xbox and PS4 are £30 tops? If it was £30 as well I'd be all-in, but that extra £20 seems like a rip-off
Mul-Qah-Diiv
@HistoricDuel most of the link amiibos give you his gear and pretty much every other amiibo will give you some items
£50 don’t think so!! £29.99 then yes
Archery in nintendo switch sucks, suggest that they allow screen sliding for small camera movement when aiming rather than having to swing the whole unit itself.
has all the same quirks and glitches on it as it did many years ago. Still a great game and must have for RPG fans <3
Why haven't Morrowind and Oblivion been ported to Switch?
