Happy?Ring-a-ding-ding baby

At yesterdays Bethesda conference, Todd Howard announced that Fallout Shelter would be coming to Switch.

It has since gone live on the Nintendo eshop and is available to download for free.

3 years after its original launch on mobile devices, the hugely popular title has been downloaded over 120 million times.

According to Howard, its sales eclipse all other Bethesda titles combined. Very impressive indeed if you think Skyrim has been released on every platform ever, now including Amazon Alexa….
