Two versions of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim exist. There’s the original game from 2011, as well as the Special Edition remaster from 2016. We know that the RPG is in development for Switch, but in what form is currently unknown.
Unfortunately, Bethesda’s Todd Howard isn’t providing any new insight. Polygon asked about the Switch release, but was told that Howard “can’t say” whether it will be the original Skyrim or remaster.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is planned to hit Switch this fall. Hopefully we’ll get a clearer answer about the game before then.
Update 2: Bumped to the top. This is back up, but it’ll take a few days to ship.
Update: Now sold out.
Original: The previously sold-out Zelda: Art & Artifacts Limited Edition is now in stock again on Amazon. Better yet, it’s been discounted by $11.68. You can place an order here if interested.
Worth noting, the BIGTHANKS code we mentioned today also works here. That means you can get the book for $59.68.
Target’s March 5 ad has leaked, revealing an appealing offer for gamers. During that week, almost all games will be eligible for a buy 2, get 1 free sale.
The ad shows titles such as Pokemon Sun/Moon and Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World. Sadly though, Switch games are excluded. Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Wii U may work, however.
Target’s offer should last until March 11 when it goes live.

In conjunction with its month-long coverage on Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Game Informer asked series producer Eiji Aonuma about his three favorite games in the series.
He ranked Twilight Princess third “because I wanted to create something better than Ocarina.” Ocarina of Time was next, which he says “is a game that gave me the opportunity to create a 3D world.” Finally, he picked Phantom Hourglass as his top choice.
Matt Thorson has announced that his new game Celeste is heading to Switch sometime this year. Thorson was also behind the critically acclaimed indie game TowerFall.

As for Celeste, it’s a new platformer about climbing a mountain. The game packs in over 250 stages featuring a wide variety of environments, including an abandoned city, ancient ruins, cliff sides, and a haunted resort. Some “quirky” characters will be encountered along the way.

It’s been a long road for Heart Forth, Alicia. Originally funded on Kickstarter in April 2014, development still continues today.
The team has plenty of months remaining before work on Heart Forth, Alicia wraps up. Despite that, the Wii U version hasn’t been cancelled. A Switch version also appears to be under consideration based on the game’s latest Kickstarter update.
The update states:
“The game now runs at a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of 15:9. When we went widescreen, we initially chose 15:9 to accommodate the 3DS’ resolution, but seeing that we didn’t reach the stretch goal and that the Nintendo Switch is coming out next month, we feel more inclined to set our sights on the Switch for an eventual port. The Wii U port is coming out as promised, so no changes there.”
Nintendo has some new maintenance planned on Wednesday/ Thursday. Certain network services such as online play, rankings, etc. may be impacted on Wii U and 3DS.
The maintenance schedule is as follows:
– 4 PM PT (February 22) – 5 PM PT (February 22)
– 7 PM ET (February 22) – 8 PM ET (February 22)
– 12 AM in the UK (February 23) – 1 AM in the UK (February 23)
– 1 AM in Europe (February 23) – 2 AM in Europe (February 23)
