In an interview with Glixel, Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer Todd Howard had plenty of positive things to say about Switch.

Howard was able to get a look at Nintendo’s new system at E3 in June. Whatever was presented, he said that it was “probably the best demo I’ve ever seen.”

Howard also said that Bethesda is “definitely going to be supporting it.” He made note of the fact that this is really the first time the company will be involved with a Nintendo platform since the NES days.

Finally, it was further suggested that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be on Switch. That certainly makes sense, as it appeared in Nintendo’s announcement trailer for the console.

Here’s the full transcript of the Switch conversation:

Pokemon GO players should be aware that Niantic has made adjustments to the CP (Combat Power) of Pokémon in the game. Creatures including Alakazam, Rhydon, and Gengar will receive a boosted CP. Meanwhile, others will be lowered.

Niantic says that the changes “will allow a more balanced and competitive battling and training experience in Gyms.” The company “will continue to adjust the CP going forward to improve the game balance when necessary.”
