Best Buy Canada recently posted an interview with Andrew Scharf, a lead producer at Bethesda Game Studios . The two sides caught up to chat in-depth about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for Switch.
Scharf had a number of interesting things to say, including the experience of bringing Skyrim to Switch and the technical challenges involved. He also spoke about how the Zelda collaboration came to be – did you know that director Todd Howard brought the idea up to Nintendo?
You can read the interview in full below.
Onrush is a new arcade-esque racer from Codemasters. It’s received a decent amount of buzz since its initial reveal, and some would say that it would be a good fit on Switch.
A Switch port hasn’t been ruled out, but it’s not something that’s happening quite yet either. Director Paul Rustchynsky recently told Redbull, “We haven’t started looking at what it would take to get up and running on Switch, but we are huge fans of Nintendo and the Switch is a fantastic piece of kit.”
Is Onrush a game you’d like to see on Switch?
Thanks to Zone1 for the tip.
To celebrate 2018, Fire Emblem Heroes started a New Year’s event, including a new paralogue map. Check out some footage below.
Mighty Gunvolt Burst was updated to version 1.3 this past week. Inti Creates also brought out a demo to let potential players try out the game.
If you download the demo and have save data for it, you can actually get some free DLC. In the full version of Mighty Gunvolt Burst, you can obtain Ekoro by selecting “Data Transfer” on the opening menu.
Ekoro was also made available for free during a short period earlier this year. The character normally costs $1.99.
Nintendo is celebrating the start of 2018 with a few new images. Above, we have some special New Year’s art for ARMS. You can also find a new Super Mario Odyssey-themed January wallpaper and calendar below.

Update: Amazon has now started to pull these listings. It could be a sign that they went up too early.
Original: A ton of new mystery listings for Switch have appeared on Amazon. We’re counting 18 titles in total on the website, most of which can be pre-ordered. Prices range from $60 all the way up to $100.
The thought here is that these games could be unveiled during an upcoming Nintendo Direct, which will almost certainly take place in January. Amazon even used the exact same image for Project Octopath Traveler a few months ago after it was fully unveiled during the September broadcast.
Two new Pokemon figures have been announced within the past week. Along with a Nendoroid for Giovanni, Lillie is also receiving another figure.
Pre-orders for Giovanni will open in Japan on January 19. Like other Nendoroids, it’ll have customizable parts.
As for Lillie, we don’t have much to go on at the moment. The figure itself hasn’t really been shown yet aside from the art below. It will be available sometime in 2018.
