Forums - Nintendo - Bethesda talks more indepth about Nintendo and there plans for supporting the NX

Nintendo is doing what they've always done. They've always been the "family" console. Since day one, this has been the case. I've brought this up before by mentioning that on the back of the NES box, it showed a family playing the system and even mentioned how it's the perfect console for everyone in the family. People are either too young to remember all this, or have had their minds clouded by the fact that over the years, they've become hardcore gamers, but it's a fact. Nintendo goes after the core gamer AND the mother, father and sister. They're not just after us, they're after everyone and that's why you don't see a uber high end machine, marketing as the home for dark, mature AAA third party games. They don't WANT that... it's not what they do.

If that's what you want, you're in the wrong place. Go get an Xbox One of PS4 or both.

I thought I'd post these questions asked during an interview with Bethesda Pete Hines VP of PR and marketing. He says some really interesting stuff, though he does dodge a lot of the questions.

 

GC: Now, Nintendo is not a subject I ever imagined talking to you about. But there was a very interesting quote recently about you talking to them all the time. But I can’t imagine what about?

PH: [laughs] We talk to them about games! We talk to them about what they’re up to!

GC: I’m glad to hear it, I’m just surprised.

PH: It’s not like we’ve never done anything on Nintendo. We haven’t done anything on Nintendo in a very long time, but we did some Star Trek stuff back in the day. Star Trek: Tactical Assault or something. Look, our philosophy is we want to make our games, as they’re designed and built, available on as many platforms as possible.

PH: [poker face] …

Sounds like he already knows that NX won't be as powerful as an Xbox One.

Nice to hear they will at least consider NX if it's powerful enough. But sadly I doubt that it will be powerful enough.


Well, it should be at least powerful enough to port Daggerfall and Morrowind to it.

I guess I don't mind if they don't bring their games over to the NX. I haven't really been interested in their games, but from the looks of them currently, that's not going to change.
