There have been a number of moments in Nintendo’s pre-launch Swap advertising that left us slightly misplaced for phrases: the hybrid kind issue, our first take a look at Breath of the Wild, the way in which that one man went to “stroll his canine” however spent your complete time sat on a bench.
The reveal that Skyrim could be coming to the iddy biddy console was one other.

It was additionally an indication of the Swap’s energy, a wagging finger from Nintendo as if to say “You thought this was solely going to run side-scrolling Mario ranges? Suppose once more”.
With ‘Swap 2’ rumours cropping up with ever-increasing frequency, our ideas are turning to the potential video games Nintendo might use to hit the transient once more, significantly as a number of massive video games on different consoles appear unlikely to ever come to the present Swap.
