Gaming companies have yet to announce its line-up of new titles or ported game versions for the Nintendo Switch. However, several game developers already expressed their support for the Japan-based company's hybrid gaming device. Recently, Bethesda director Todd Howard gushed over the Switch and its features.
In an interview with Glixel, Howard recounted his gaming experience using the Nintendo Switch during the 2016 E3 conference. However, the "Skyrim" director did not divulge other details for the upcoming device although he admitted that it was "one of the best demos" that he saw during the event.
The Bethesda executive also mentioned the game studio's plans to develop future titles for the Switch. He stated, "We're definitely going to be supporting it. It's the first time we've done something on Nintendo. If you don't count the old NES stuff."
Howard's statement led to speculations that future Bethesda games such as "Fallout" and "Doom" may be heading to Nintendo's hybrid home console and handheld device. He even commented on "Skyrim's" potential portability given the Nintendo Switch's unique features. When asked if a gamer can potentially bring "Skyrim" with him wherever he goes, Howard replied, "It's the same game on the TV and on the other screen."
