Skyrim Remastered developer Bethesda has dropped the biggest hint yet that the game will be released on Nintendo Switch.

Skyrim Special Edition featured heavily in the Nintendo Switch announcement trailer, leading to speculation that it would appear on the device.

However, Bethesda would later play down reports that Skyrim would appear on the Nintendo Switch, telling fans that nothing had been confirmed.

Skyrim director Todd Howard has posted an update on the potential Nintendo Switch port ahead of the console's March release date.

After praising the Nintendo Switch, Howard said that Bethesda will definitely be supporting the console.

"I love it. I got to play it," he told Glixel. "I will tell you – well, maybe that's an N.D.A. thing. One of the best demos I've ever seen. Probably the best demo I've ever seen. At E3.

"I think it's really smart what they're doing. We're definitely going to be supporting it. It's the first time we've done something on Nintendo. If you don't count the old NES stuff."

Asked if a Skyrim Remastered would work on the Nintendo Switch, Howard replied: "It's the same game on the TV and on the other screen."
