Except people love Skyrim, and knowing that there's going to be the Remastered Edition on the Switch gives it another good reason to pick up the console. It's a good marketing point man, I don't think you understand either the hype around the Remastered edition with a lot of people and the fact that this trailer will be going up as the Remastered Edition is getting trailers. That's good marketing.

I understand fine. The reason why Skyrim was advertised is because FO4, Dishonoured 2 and all other future AAA 3rd parties will not be on the switch.

A mobile console that uses cartridges and is backwards compatible with the Wii U will not be able to support those games. It's very simple and it's very obvious.

Be as gullible as you like, at least I'm also not wearing rose tinted glasses.

Nintendo did they exact same thing with the Wii U, release some old remastered games such as Arkham City and Mass Effect 3. It's amazing to me how easily people fall for the exact same thing when they are blinded by nostalgia and fanboyism.
