1) we're pretty well briefed in on what they are doing.
2) if the NX fits that from a technical standpoint, and fits the game that a developer in our stable is making, I don't see why we would not put it out on NX.
3) it's too early to say, 'we'll definitely be putting games out or not.' Like with mobile, we want to have the right fit for the right formats.

They dont know much of anything about the NX. 1) is basically a white lie.
or
They dont plan on releaseing any games, but are waiting to see how well it sells first.

Yeah this is what I get from that too.

"we dont plan too, but if it sells bazillion units, we ll do so anyways"

There are Zelda Easter eggs in Elder Scrolls. That should count for something, right?

Is that what the NX is gonna be called? O.o

I am. From Bethesda, I would have expected a 'we don't know anything' type response.

In the end, Pete Hines was one of the harshest critics of the WiiU. I recall one of the biggest complaints he had was that Nintendo didn't communicate about what they were planning to do with the WiiU but now with the NX they are 'well-briefed'.

I'm cautiously optimistic that Bethesda will give Ninty some further consideration, but not betting the farm on that one.

You all easily forget Doom was a standout release on SNES, N64, and the GBA. Quake on the N64 as well (also tech demo'd for GBA)

Damn, that might actually make me buy the NX day 1!

DOOM and id were not under BethSoft until 2010.  Early DOOMs were published under GT Interactive and then Activision in the early 2000s.

Screw third parties, Nintendo's own output should increase now there is only one platform to support.

So that's a no, then. If Bethesda ignored them up until now, there's no reason they should suddenly jump on board after the worst console generation Ninendo has ever had.

to me that says a lot.  maybe i'm reading too much into it but that would suggest developers view this as more mobile than console.

western devs haven't supported mobile well for about 2 gens now.
