Yes, that was a dude playing Skyrim on it. Also a little more Zelda, new Mario, and what looks to be a new Splatoon game as well.
A list of companies said to be on board:

I've seen a lot of people referring to the PS4 Pro, Switch and Xbox Scorpio as some sort of intermediate generation, between the PS4/XBO/WiiU generation and the next one.Crazedwraith wrote:Which gen is this for them? Ps4/XboxOne or are they first in the gen after that?

You say that, but the PS4 was the fastest selling console ever, so reports of the home console's demise might well be as exaggerated as reports of the PC's demise a decade ago.Chimaera wrote:Well, looks like Nintendo is through fucking around. I LOVE the concept, simple yet elegant, and quite possibly the only way 'traditional' consoles are going to survive is through innovations like this. Glad that they're getting massive 3rd-party support as well.
Skyrim is 5 years old now and that's the only "intensive" game I saw. It's also worth noting that the game was only ever CPU and VRAM intensive for the time. It actually couldn't even touch a second-rate video card, especially if you could live with 30FPS and sub 1080p resolutions. But Papyrus is a CPU hog and can't process more than a single script or thread at a time on top of that.DaveJB wrote:Nothing solid on the specs yet, although realistically there's going to be no way you can make such a device with PS4/XBO-level power and have its battery last longer than ten minutes. At least the rumoured nVidia SoC should be much easier to work with than the clusterfeck that was the Wii U.
http://letsplayvideogames.com/2016/10/r ... tionality/Over the past few days, much discussion has taken place about the Nintendo Switch potentially having a multi-touch screen on its handheld portion. We said in a recent report that we believe games will not be allowed to require touch screen functionality for any game, as all Switch games will be required to be playable while the handheld is in the dock.
With regards to how this will be circumvented, we believe the solution is that touch screen games will be playable on your TV by use of an IR pointer located in the bottom of the right Joy-Con.
Having spoken to sources within Ubisoft, we believe that games which support touch functionality on the handheld will use IR functionality to replicate that ability on the TV.
We believe the handheld, when docked, will switch on two small IR lights similar to the Wii Sensor Bar at the top of the handheld screen, peeking out above the top of the dock. The IR sensor in the right Joy-Con can then be used in much the same way as a Wii Remote pointer. This is designed to be used for touch screen replication, rather than the camera turning and aiming functions Wii Remotes were often used for.

1. A guy was playing Skyrim for 15 seconds and it didn't crash, much less moving it from screen to screen like that over an extended period of time.
Update 2: While Bethesda's much beloved Skyrim was clearly shown during Nintendo's Switch reveal video, the publisher told us today that it's not officially confirming the game just yet. "We're happy to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Nintendo on the video. While we are not confirming any specific titles at this time, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Nintendo and support of the Switch. We look forward to revealing specific games and details in the future," a spokesperson said. Skyrim Remastered is set to launch on October 28 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC; perhaps the Switch will receive a version of the Remastered game at launch?
I did my own bit of reading because there was no way I was buying Beth had a working port of Skyrim for a device like this, this early in development. I wouldn't be surprised if everything Skyrim was just pre-rendered video superimposed on the device screen. I was just too lazy to post anything on it, so thanks for doing it for me.bilateralrope wrote:Update 2: While Bethesda's much beloved Skyrim was clearly shown during Nintendo's Switch reveal video, the publisher told us today that it's not officially confirming the game just yet.
