Anyone here actually really excited to be able to play a game

No. playing games on the go is retarded
When you're out and you can't properly focus on the game

We know it's you todd

You might get skyrim, but you'll never get another game like skyrim. Nobody is gonna bother developing something that big if they can't port it to the main consoles since the Switch will never handle anything current.

>>376740858
No, anyone who plays Skyrim without mods is retarded.

i like the concept of handheld consoles and I love all the ones I own but I'd never actually play games On The Go™ like in the bus or something

Thats clearly rodd broward.

The problem is that the greater the hardware you have, the greater potential for gaming you have.

So a large PC or even console is going to remain the forefront of where gaming takes place. If you scale down to laptops, or even handhelds, then you lose power. The more you try to bring that power closer to the forefront, the more you have to make fatal compromises elsewhere (to give an example, the PSP attempted to be a handheld PS2, which was beyond its hardware potential, and therefore was nothing more than a gimped PS2 when it could have been an expansion on the PS1 -- in fact, ironically people were preferring to use it for emulation purposes, just think what could have been achieved if that was the Sony desire also).

Skyrim is gonna be laggy as fuck on the switch. It'll be just like the ps3 version where it gets worse the more hours you play

>>376741440
Same here. I love handhelds because I can take them all around my house or outside on a nice day, but when you're actually "on the go"? Chances are you have shit to do and just aren't going to have time nor want to sit down and play a console-sized game. That's why the only mobile games that sell are the ones that are meant to be played for a few minutes here and there

>>376740858
I actually am. Being portable really is a big deal for me so I'm always excited to see a previously PC only (stationary consoles, lol) game in an on the go platform. I bet the battery life will be horrendous though

I've played Zelda on the go and loved it.

Who is excited for a six year old game? seriously

Having your face buried in a tiny screen while in public - be it phone or game system - is a universal sign that you've pretty much checked out of society (particularly polite society) and no one will gain anything from talking to you.

Disagree. Situational. Staring at your phone while sitting is fine. It's the same as reading a book. Staring at it while walking down the street or standing in the line at the grocery store is something else entirely. If you are prompted to pay attention by a stranger more than once a week because your face is stuck in your phone, then you are a problem.

>>376745256

wow dude, chillax

Bethesda games are garbage but its cool that more visually complex games can be played on portables now.

I just hope that the budget games dont die out now.

You can do that on a hacked vita via moonshell. Better quality screen too.

nintendo shills BTFO!

>>376743408
If you think greater hardware is only the potential for greater graphics you are retarded.

In fact the very problem with the PSP, that I hinted at, is that it chose to use its shitty hardware for graphics instead of other elements.

>>376740858
It'd be nice if the Switch had a single decent game worth playing over the 3DS, but even if, hypothetically, it DID have a good library, it's not like I'd be "excited" about it. It's not like playing games portably is a new concept.

I'll get excited if I see an Animal Crossing game, or literally anything that makes the Switch worth purchasing if I already own a 3DS, but until that day comes, if it comes at all, I'll pass. Not to mention I don't want to accidentally drop the Switch 5 inches and have it explode into shards of plastic.

>>376747692

>>376747771
It was a joke. The point is that the Switch is sensitive as fuck; the 3DS is already bad enough, I can only imagine how much worse the Switch is.

It's going to be SSE so it's going to have mods. It won't ever have the real fun mods though.

>No, anyone who plays Skyrim without mods is retarded.

>No, anyone who plays Skyrim without mods is retarded.

The only reason Skyrim is so popular is because of the modding community. Bethesda should be inhaling the dicks of every modder on the top-100 list at Nexus. No one wants to play this shit on a 7" screen without mods.

>>376740858
Why the fuck would anyone ever want to play an unmodded Bethesda game?
If you want an open world RPG on Switch, just wait for Xenoblade 2, no need to settle for a garbage years old game

Besides the novelty of being able to play Skyrim on the go, what the fuck else is supposed to make the Switch version of Skyrim a must-buy unless you've never played it?

Will it have mod support like the PS4 and Xbone versions? Will it have exclusive Nintendo content? Will it be cheaper since everyone else has had the game for a good long while now? I don't see reason for rebuying Skyrim again if it's literally the same game but on a different system.
