At QuakeCon, finder.com.au spoke with Pete Hines, vice-president of Bethesda Softworks. Hines was asked about the company’s stance regarding NX, and whether we can expect to see their titles on the new system.

Hines said in response:

“We talk to Nintendo all the time – we’re pretty well briefed in on what they are doing. It’s definitely something we will look at; and our philosophy is that we will put our games out on any format that supports the games as we envisage and make them. 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. But 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.”

Bethesda has some heavy-hitting franchises between the likes of Elder Scrolls, DOOM, and Dishonored. Having more third-party games on NX certainly wouldn’t be a bad thing. Only time will tell if Bethesda’s titles will end up on the platform, however.

Update: This update is out now on Android as well.

Towards the very end of July, Nintendo released a new Miitomo update. This added the Candy Drop mini-game and more. For the full update notes, give this post a visit.

Nintendo has now followed up on Miitomo’s latest update by bringing out another small patch. Version 1.4.1 is out now, though only on iOS. Patch notes are unfortunately unavailable, as they’re exactly the same for 1.4.0. It likely means Nintendo has implemented small bug fixes/addressed minor issues given the low change in version numbers.

Earlier this year, Rain Games revealed World to the West. It’s the newest project from the same team behind Teslagrad, and this one’s actually set in the same universe.

World to the West has players going on an adventure as they assume the role of four characters: “Lumina the Teslamancer, Knaus the orphan, Miss Teri the mind bender and the gloriously mustachioed strongman, Lord Clonington”. You’ll explore various environments such as jungles, tundras, and the mysteries of an ancient prophecy.

We weren’t sure at the time which platforms World to the West would be on, but Wii U is on the developer’s radar. In fact, Nintendo will be showing an early build of the title at Gamescom 2016 in just a couple of weeks. That bit of news was hidden within the big N’s plans for the expo.

Here’s a teaser:

During Square Enix’s special Dragon Quest presentation last July, the publisher indicated that two games in the series would be heading to NX. Those titles in question were the already-released tenth entry as well as the upcoming Dragon Quest XI. There was a tad bit of uncertainty regarding both games on NX following the presentation, but this week’s issue of Famitsu offers a confirmation.

The magazine spoke with director Jin Fujisawa and producer Yosuke Saito as the series celebrated its fourth anniversary last week. In the interview, Saito specifically mentioned NX and PlayStation 4 as being the “climax” of Dragon Quest X. Of course, there were no specifics about how the online RPG will play on Nintendo’s new system.
