How did it feel to (sort of) make public the new relationship Bethesda has with Nintendo?ĪS: It was very exciting. PH: Last October during the much talked about video Reveal Trailer for Nintendo Switch we saw Skyrim being played at home and on an airplane. It was just a no-brainer to join a great partner like Nintendo and bring the massive world of Skyrim, where you can go anywhere and do anything, to a platform that can also go anywhere. That got us fired up about the possibilities, and as a broader company, we’re always looking to expand our games to new platforms and new audiences. Who originally approached who about bringing this massive game world to Nintendo Switch?Īndrew Scharf: The team here at BGS has been excited about the Switch and Nintendo’s plans since we first saw the demo of the technology. Paul Hunter: Skyrim coming to Nintendo Switch is obviously a huge moment in gaming, and especially for Nintendo fans. Scharf reveals in the interview just how The Legend of Zelda collaboration came about and what it was like bringing the franchise to the Nintendo Switch.
