New Nintendo Switch Ad Highlights Fall's Big RPGs, Including Skyrim

@G-Cuber: it's hardly a selling point to me

Then don't buy it, it's a selling point to me.

Did all these portable enthusiasts just discover the game

No in fact many of them already own the game and love the idea of playing it on the go anywhere. Like me.

I can play it anytime, in the comfort of my living room

Great, good for you. Have fun.

@agramonte: While i think Skyrim on the go is great, and will get it even though i got it on PC.. I agree the price should be like $30 or something.

@agramonte: best handheld graphics ever. I think you missed the point entirely.

@agramonte: All I know is I played Skyrim only once, would love to play it again, vastly prefer playing on a portable rather than in front of a TV/Monitor and this works for me. If this somehow ruins your mood or your day then too bad for you. But just know that your opinion/experience isn’t gospel and that the Switch version is highly anticipated and will likely sell a lot regardless of what you think.

@agramonte: Not everyone has played Skyrim yet, plus an old game now portable with hundreds of hours of content without microtransactions everywhere is welcome in this day and age.

@shadowwarrior4: Yeah, that's kinda their whole schtick. Nintendo wanted to jump onto the toys-to-life bandwagaon after passing on Skylanders. Unlike Skylanders and other similar games though, amiibo don't do anything too special. Most games will unlock a costume or other cosmetic item if you scan certain characters, and that's about it. They're completely optional. In fact, the only game where amiibo were actually required to play, flopped so hard that Nintendo probably won't try anything like that again.

@Thanatos2k: wtf are you talking about?

And about of which PS4 excellent tradition are you dreaming about?

Star Ocean,Tales of,Neptunia? Aside of Persona 5 all mediocre to crap! Excellent tradition lol stop lying!

If you do look back,the Ps1 has the best jrpg library,the PS2 had already way less jrpgs and the Ps3 was a letdown.

@aross2004: it did well but the jrpgs wasnt the reason it got popular or the reason ppl bought it. One of the best jrpgs is Lost Odyssey,the best "Tales of" games is Vesperia,bunch of good followed with Blue Dragon,Eternal Sonata,Star Ocean,Resonance of Fate,Infinite Undiscovery,Magna Carta 2 and few so-so like The Last Remnant. Not all are exclusive but i listed them just show that the X360 had in the first years plenty of jrpgs but they sold crap so MS stopped publishing them or the 3rd party simply focused on the ps3.

@aross2004: Tales of Vesperia. There was also Eternal Sonata, Magna Carta 2, Star Ocean 4, and Infinite Undiscovery which I would not call excellent but not bad.

Not coincidentally, after Microsoft bailed on the genre, developers quickly ported some of these to the PS3.

@aross2004: Add Tales of Vesperia and Infinite Undiscovery, along with some others that I'm too lazy to mention.
