Yeah, it's a retail special edition with a download code and not a cartidge isn't it?
Yeah, even though it's retail, it's not really what you could call "CART", it doesn't come in a regular Switch box as well, does it? Looks like more of a sophisticated eShop card. I personally wouldn't consider something like this a Special Edition when the most important thing inside is only digital.
I'll update it since one way or another in EU it's download-only.
Well, aside from Skyrim, at least. Wish we could get DOOM (doubt it could run as smoothly on Switch, though), or Evil Within. Would kill to have those portable
@IceClimbers Not only the first two Jackbox Party Packs, but the Switch is the first confirmed console platform for The Jackbox Party Pack 4, coming out this autumn.
@Ralizah I would also think that Bethesda wants to see how Skyrim does before they try to attempt to Optimize Fallout 4 for the switch (I'll firmly pass...FO4 was a snooze fest for me). While in general TES and FO fans are different audiences, I think the average mainstream gamer (and even Bethesda themselves sometimes) lump them together so if you have a choice between TES with swords or TES with guns and the swords game is older...many people will pass that up for the newer game. All speculation of course.
I know one thing...I wish that Capcom would port Dragon's dogma.

@Ryu_Niiyama@Ralizah I mean why WOULD they announce a second game while they're still working on the first game that is the first time they've EVER supported a Nintendo console? Unlike Capcom, it makes sense for Bethesda to "wait and see" since they're new to Nintendo entirely with no way to know what their connection to the audience is. Also Nintendo came to them for Skyrim, I doubt Nintendo would actively seek Fallout.
FO IS TES with guns. That's why I hate Bethesda Fallout games. I'm convinced Bethesda Fallout is only fun for people who never played Black Isle Fallout. It feels like a Fallout themed TES mod to me.
@NEStalgia That's what I said...mostly. But I think that Fallout 3 tried to have more of the spirit of the older games in the dialogue and perks...4 is just straight up Skyrim with guns and mass effect dialogue.

@Ryu_Niiyama I haven't played 4 (nobody's paid me to play it yet.... ), but I could barely tolerate 3. I didn't get much of a FO1&2 vibe from the dialogue. Though the perks were a familiar mechanic, of course. The dialog was just.....not really FO. Technically I don't imagine 3 & 4 to be "bad games" if you don't know what Fallout is supposed to be, but for anyone that loved 1 & 2, 3 & presumably 4 are like playing a Pokemon game with savage beasts that spew blood. It may be a good game on its own, but it's a terrible Pokemon game.
@DarthNocturnal Even on PS4, the game can barely maintain 30 fps. They even had to disable fog effects in the DLC for the PS4 version. Now, imagine how it would perform on a machine with half the power.
@NEStalgia They released games on the NES, I believe. But yeah, I agree: they would be foolish not to see how Skyrim performs first. We're getting an apparently well-optimized version of the special edition with motion controls, Nintendo-exclusive content and everything, so it's not like it's some lazy port that won't do well anyway.
@Ryu_Niiyama Agreed. Fallout 4 was a massive bore, and inferior to every other game in the series. It barely feels like the series has evolved at all since 3 (aside from the annoying town management/customization stuff).
