Some companies have been more open with regards to NX support than others. The likes of Square Enix, SEGA, and Ubisoft have already confirmed games for the system. On the other hand, Eidos Montreal seems a bit more hesitant.

Finder.com.au asked Olivier Proulx, the producer of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, if he’d be interested in seeing his new project on NX at any point. Here’s the full exchange:

Square is known to support the NX with Dragon Quest and we also saw the director’s cut of Human Revolution appear as one of the first games on Wii U – would you want to see Mankind Divided on NX one day?

We’ve never thought about the NX. Right now there’s nothing new to announce there. We’ve just been looking at PC, Xbox One and PS4, and that’s been our focus.

Well, if you were a betting man, what do you reckon the chances are?

I can’t be that obvious. I can’t bet on this (laughs).

One interesting thing to remember is that Deus Ex: Human Revolution – the series’ previous entry – made its way to Wii U and was largely considered to be the best version. It’d be interesting if something like that happened again with NX. If that did happen though, it’d be another late port.

Square Enix recently reconfirmed Dragon Quest X for NX. Now we can say the same about the series’ latest entry, Dragon Quest XI.

In this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream, Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii, Pokemon series producer Junichi Masuda, and Super Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai all participated in a roundtable discussion. At one point, the discussion shifted to Dragon Quest XI, and Horii said that the game will indeed be on NX. Moreover, it sounds like the goal is to have all versions launch simultaneously in order to avoid spoilers.

Here’s the full exchange, as translated by Gematsu:

On Friday, Nikkei Trendy published a new interview with Shinya Takahashi, General Manager of Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development. There’s admittedly not a whole lot in the discussion that’s new. However, it does offer some additional perspective on some topics, including NX.

At one point, the interviewer brings up how when Wii was being released, he heard that a part of the plan to get the system next to a television in living rooms was to make a game console that moms wouldn’t hate. That prompted Nikkei Trendy to ask if there plans like this for NX.

Takahashi said in response:

“I can’t talk about this in detail yet, but we are aiming so that neither people who like games nor moms dislike it. I think that I want to release a game device that both customers who have much experience in gaming and customers who haven’t played much can enjoy greatly.”

Axiom Verge still has a strong shot of landing on NX. On Twitter, the game’s official Twitter account mentioned that a port is “fairly likely”, though the lack of information about the system means it isn’t certain just yet.

The tweet reads:

The prospects of an Axiom Verge NX port first came about in April. It was said that a release for the new platform’s launch could be a possibility.

As we found out a few days ago, Axiom Verge is scheduled to hit Wii U on September 1. You’ll be able to grab the game as a digital download from the eShop on that date.

Thanks to Dry Bone Koopa for the tip.
