Fallout 4 on Nintendo NX could be a thing if talks between Bethesda and the Japanese gaming giant bears fruit.

The studio’s VP, Pete Hines, was recently asked what their status was with Nintendo and if they had anything to offer in terms of NX support.

The answer he gave is interesting, in the fact that he appears to raise the console’s format and style as apparent features that are unique.

“We talk to Nintendo all the time – we're pretty well briefed in on what they are doing,” he told Finder.com.au.

“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.”

Does this mean that the Nintendo NX does have a few tricks up its sleeve we don’t know about yet? Hines’ comment that they know what’s going on but have not got anything to discuss does point to a unique selling point for the NX.
