Nintendo Switch: Every Confirmed Video Game So Far

9. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Perhaps the most significant release of the past five years, The Elder Scrolls' fifth entry is by far its greatest, and given it's getting a remaster in October 2016, its debut on Nintendo hardware is timely, to say the least.

Considering fantasy, medieval weaponry and dragons have long been a staple of Nintendo software, it's even more fitting that Skyrim is heading to Switch. For those amongst you who can't quite get enough of Tamriel, taking Skyrim on the go is going to be a difficult opportunity to pass up on, especially considering just how good it looks.

I mean, it doesn't quite look as good as the remastered edition releasing on current-gen hardware, but it's certainly an upgrade over the base game from 2011.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
