Oh look: tons of comments explaining how this is a ridiculous product that shouldn’t exist.
And yet it’s going to sell and be profitable.
Re-releasing old games is a great thing. Keep everything available, give consumers options, increase the size of libraries for every platform. Enhanced resolutions and better load times. It’s a free upgrade if you already own the Anniversary edition on Switch.
Rather than asking why they are doing this, I think the real question should be why was this not a launch title months ago?
Eh I think Fallout 4 is the only one that would really work with.
You could have maybe argued for Oblivion, but I think they made the right call in re-making it. (I know Bethesda calls it a “re-master”, but imo when you start re-doing models, NPC behaviors, and voice lines that crosses the threshold into “re-make”).
I think Fallout 3 would really benefit from the same re-make treatment Oblivion got. Morrowind too.
Starfield is current gen. Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online are kind of different beasts as live-servics games. The older Elder Scrolls games are so outdated and janky that I think they would either have to completely re-imagine them into functionally new games, or just do a quick port (maybe upscale the resolution and add a few QoL improvements to call it a “re-master”) in a cheap sort of “classics collection”.
I haven’t played the pre-Bethesda Fallout games, but they do look re-makeable. They’re also nowhere near as popular as the rest of Bethesda’s games so there may not be enough demand for them.
Of course, if there’s a lot more options for games by other studios and published by Bethesda, but I could spend all day picking through that library and evaluating lol.
I’ll say this product shouldn’t exist. Nintendo switch games are already playable on switch 2. Releasing this game again on a game system that can already play it is just a money grab.
Remakes and releases take development funds away from new IP. Same with live service. So I’m not a fan.

Perhaps they should do it for more games than Skyrim.
There’s a great back catalog.

To clarify, I was talking all games in general. Not just BGS.
Which comment says the product shouldn’t exist? Please point me to it.

Ok. Just seems a bit odd as your comment is here under this post commenting the comments on YouTube.
