One of the more unexpected Nintendo-related E3 announcements took place during a third-party conference. During its presentation, Bethesda debuted a new trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Switch and unveiled a special Zelda collaboration. The game will let players walk around in Link’s outfit from Breath of the Wild, sword and all.

Geoff Keighley spoke with Bethesda VP of PR / marketing Pete Hines about the collaboration at E3. He said:

“… talked to the Breath of the Wild folks, and they were big Skyrim fans themselves and loved the idea. We really wanted to kind of do an integration with them – their open world thing, our open world thing. It was a lot of fun. They were great with proividing us with all kinds of assets to make it feel like a cool, unique thing for Skyrim.”

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is coming to Switch this holiday. A specific release date has not yet been announced.

Nintendo is present at World Hobby Fair 2017 Summer this weekend, and held tournaments for both Splatoon 2 and ARMS. The Splatoon 2 one might be worth watching in particular just for another look at Salmon Run. You can watch everything in the video below.

ARMS sold roughly 100,000 copies in its first three days on the Japanese market, based on the latest information from sales trackers. Dengeki and Media Create now share extra information about how the game did.

Dengeki’s data has ARMS selling through 70 percent of its initial shipment. It’s the third solid first week sales for a Switch game after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (355,000 first week, total 576,000) and Zelda: Breath of the Wild (204,000 first week, total 490,000).

Nintendo teamed up with Kansai International Airport for a special promotion this weekend. Those who stopped by can see promotional images throughout the area as well as a special exhibit with playable games on Switch, 3DS, and mobile.

Site contributor iYakku sent along a few photos before things actually started. We’ve got them below.


Depending on which sales tracker you go with, Switch has now surpassed one million units sold in Japan. Media Create has it just under that amount for the week ending June 18, though it’s surely gone past that mark by now. Dengeki also officially says sales are over one million.

Switch took sixteen weeks to reach one million, according to Dengeki’s data. Sales for Wii and Wii U were at 1.85 million and 820,000 units respectively at the same point.
