Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Bethesda has started to increase its Switch output more and more. At QuakeCon yesterday, we learned that Doom Eternal would be on Nintendo’s console. That’s notable as it’s looking like the Switch version will be out alongside other versions when development wraps up at some point in the future.

Another game on Bethesda’s slate is Rage 2. Platforms have already been announced, though Switch isn’t among them – not yet anyway. However, that could potentially change in the future.

Bethesda hopes to continue Switch support “with whatever we’re making that will run and run well”

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Bethesda was an early supporter of Switch, and that support has continued into this year. Following up on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Doom, Wolfenstein II and Fallout Shelter released not too long ago. The Elder Scrolls: Legends will also arrive later this year.

Bethesda’s Pete Hines was recently quizzed about Switch games going forward. Hines did mention that id Software has its hands full at the moment, though the company is considering what fans are interested in as well as future titles “that might be a good fit.” He concluded that Bethesda wants to continue supporting Switch “with whatever we’re making that will run and run well”

Bethesda not planning mods for Skyrim on Switch despite fan interest, Fallout Shelter doing “really well”

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

If you’re playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you can do some crazy things with custom fan mods. However, this functionality isn’t available in the Switch version. And unfortunately, that won’t be changing anytime soon.

Eurogamer asked Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard about the possibility of adding in mod support for Skyrim on Switch. Despite “a big community” on the platform that has requested the feature, Howard indicated that there are no current plans.

Wolfenstein II Switch technical analysis

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments

With some major help from Panic Button, Wolfenstein II released on Switch yesterday. Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the port from a technical perspective.

Arguably what’s most important is the content. No sacrifices were made here, as every level from other versions of Wolfenstein II are present on Switch. All sequences are presented in full. Some tricks were implemented though, like placing a wall in a certain area of the game – likely to reduce load when looking back at the stage.

The Wolfenstein II also just launched on the platform today. Fallout Shelter was released earlier in the month, and The Elder Scrolls: Legends is planned for later this year.

Gamereactor interviewed Bethesda’s Todd Howard at Gamelab this week. When asked if there’s interest in bringing over a mainline Fallout, he said:
