    Depends. Will it require Switch online service to connect? If yes, no thanks.

    I have a hard time seeing Switch being able to handle something like ESO.

    I'm also dubious as to whether there'd be any profit in it; the cost of set-up and maintenance will be substantial. A migration to Nintendo is not the same beast as one to Xbox or PS. And it took enough to get up and running on those.

    I'm thinking, who would the player base be? How many hardcore Nintendo fans are out there who are super-interested in ESO but haven't already obtained it on another platform? And I don't see many wanting to switch from another platform TO a Nintendo game/server.

    I voted "lol.. just no" because.

    Hmm, i honestly don't know anyone who owns a Nintendo Switch. And i don't believe that's the target demographic Zenimax wants. Getting ESO on console was major and the amount of console players has really made what ESO is today.

    But again, Nintendo Switch is for kids and that's not the target demographic Zeni is trying to get. So keep it as is!

    So. The correct answer is this:

    AWESOME!!!

    Anyone who voted NAY has been smoking too many crack rocks. ESO that you can also play on the go? In an airport? In your bed? On a long road trip? On a TV in your living room? Especially in an MMO that doesnt require 10quadrillionK graphics and infinity frames per second?

    Um, yes please.

    PS: ESO needs an offline option too.

    Um, yes please.

    The only people who have been 'smoking too many crack rocks' are the developers for this game. Half of them must have passed out a while ago, so the marketing department is doing their jobs for now.

    Where is the "I hate all things Nintendo ever since the Gamecube" option? Nintendo used to be a a great company, until their incompetence and/or artificial scarcity issues started up. I refuse to even consider buying a Nintendo product these days

    I don't think they have done bad things after GC. They have done a lot of things. Some god, some bad... bit of both... Nevertheless, it is exactly what Sony and Microsft have done since GC

    >Wii - sold alot more than both consoles of its time, but still an utter failure due to poor hardware and lack of 3rd party support, the only thing people played was the stupid Wii Sports demo disc it came with. It sold alot on false pretenses.

    Please tell me what good Nintendo has done in the last 2 decades because I'll be waiting patientily. they seriously are just burning through years of well earned profits with failure after failure. All they have going on for them is their in-house games like Pokemon, Mario, Zelda and Splatoon - and let's face it, Mario, and Pokemon are dead beaten horses - I played Sun for pokemon and it was just eye candy with half the content of previous gen games. Mario well - the original game is on what, it's 12th remaster now because they have nothing new to provide.

    Nintendo is a big joke now in the gaming world. The only people still clinging to that company earn their namesake quite well = Nintendrones. Living off pure nostalgia and the smell of Japanese farts.

    If it could handle it, then sure. I don't understand why people wouldn't want others to enjoy the game on a different system. People would complain on forums? Half of these topics are already complaints lol.

    Realistically, though, we know it's too weak so it doesn't matter anyway.

    Edit: Some people also don't know that their opinions are not fact.

    ESO as is? No way. ESO chapters repackaged for single player? Possible.
