If they only make one system this generation then I will probably buy it regardless of what it is.
My expectations are similar. Ancient technology, poor build quality, region-lock, games still tied to hardware rather than an account, rushed launch games and remastered versions of good games they made decades ago.

What I'd want from the NX console is a powerful system that makes multiplat games viable without having to downgrade and shit. Also give us OS-level voice chatting with friends (basically Party Chat). Make a proper account system and for the love of god stop rushing games, fuck your rushed holiday releases.(http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1425/14251903/2563254-1361589542722.gif)

Also, I am not confident about the NX console. They have a long way to go to fix a lot of the issues their past consoles had. The console/handheld sharing architecture idea though is the step in the right direction.

But it's Nintendo, as much as I like them, they're really damn incompetent at times.
As far as handhelds goes. Just keep the dual screens, have better video output (540p would actually suffice I think? esp if we're still going with dual screen), give us better online and try to win back third party support. 3DS's third party support would've been barren if not for Capcom, Atlus and Square Enix. Oh and don't launch your handheld system at $250 ever again. They're suppose to be cheap.
Oh no, of course. I wasn't saying that. No way would a hybrid console be cheap. I'm speaking in the scenario that they're separate systems instead of being hybrids.If they only make one system this generation then I will probably buy it regardless of what it is.I thought that was confirmed changing due to the partnership with DeNA and the whole Nintendo Account thing?

If NX is a handheld/console hybrid and Nintendo's only system after 3DS/WiiU, there's no way it's launching for under $250. Hell I'm expecting at least $300 if not $350 or $400.
Yeah I know. It'll never happen. :lol This is Nintendo.

Nintendo ain't doing 4K, no way.Of course not. It's fairly well established at this point that the other two's current gen offering are generally 1080p 30 FPS machines so them aiming for that sounds plausible.

I wonder how many generations we have until 4k can be viable.0 because consoles are dying. :teehee I'd say two gens, maybe the next one on occasion.
TBF there's a couple notable Wii U games that do 1080p 60fps.Sure it happens sometimes right now, but it's not a mandatory standard or anything. I'd love a 60 FPS F-Zero utilizing current tech or better. :drool
- The gimmick for the NX will be Nintendo's dumbest yet.Is it possible to be dumber than a tablet you can't take with you?
- NX will come out this year.lol, no.
At the same time, I wouldn't be shocked if it's ten gamecubes duct-taped together and Nintendo said "Unreal 4 Support? Heh, no", again.Why would you support something that's not real?
My predictions: everyone will bitch and moan and then buy one anyway.
the most compelling feature of Nintendo's next platform?Yeah, it sounds like they're trying to go for a better flow of releases the next time. The 3DS and Wii U had way too many droughts. I don't think it would ultimately resolve the issue, but I think it will do good in a long run.
That they won't be splitting their development resources supporting two different systems in the future. Nintendo has expanded their development teams and 2nd parties substantially during the 3DS/WiiU era, and putting the full weight of those teams on a single stage should yield some interesting results.
-will suck:umad
-nostalgiatards with no impulse control will buy despite knowing better, just to play the same tired shit they've been playing for multiple gens
-if there was any justice in the universe, the only cost of owning one of these would be forced sterilization (spoiler alert: there is no justice and these horrible things will breed)
waggle is backIt was never gone. Many Wii U games rely on the sensor bar and wiimotes.
900p is fine for a handheld device with a small enough screen to get a decent PPI. Targeting 900p for home consoles in 2017 is madness.
Actually, this sounds very similar to the Wii U. A controller you can use as a handheld device that is connected to a more powerful home console.waggle is backIt was never gone. Many Wii U games rely on the sensor bar and wiimotes.
So it's another Wii U.
I am shocked.
I really hope this POS is $499.
No idea if this is actually for Nintendo or analysis stuff.
All of those potential options are shit. :pissSeriously, every single one has at least one thing that turned me off completely. Fuckkkkkkkkk that. :lol
No idea if this is actually for Nintendo or analysis stuff.
Not for Nintendo at all. Just analysis.
Decade old tech and it'll take Ntards half a decade to realize it.
The 900p part is seriously puzzling. I'm guessing the 900p/60fps part might be just referring to the target output for many graphical games? It's kinda hard to believe a console would lock itself to 900p when the Wii U was 1080p and this one has video streaming for 4k.
Nintendo fans often make threads like "Is Zelda SS the best looking game ever?"lmfao that was a thing? that game looked a bigger eyesore than any other Wii game I've tried playing on an HDTV :lol
I'm gonna call BS on the no naked eye perception of the difference between SD and HD. If you were serious.The whole post is a parody of shit crazy Nintendo fans says. ofc it isn't serious
Handheld with a TV dock is what I'm hoping for. Basically a New 3DS with Wii U graphics. You can buy the handheld by itself for $170 or with the dock + Pro Controller + some game for $250.
There won't be any backwards compatibility.
Nintendo Account just launched in Japan but I haven't heard much about it since then. Hopefully online isn't shit. I don't think games will be tied to system starting with the NX.
Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers, a number of sources have confirmed to Eurogamer.
On the move, NX will function as a high-powered handheld console with its own display. So far so normal - but here's the twist: we've heard the screen is bookended by two controller sections on either side, which can be attached or detached as required.
Then, when you get home, the system can connect to your TV for gaming on the big screen.
A base unit, or dock station, is used to connect the brain of the NX - within the controller - to display on your TV.
For more on the console's power, Digital Foundry has a deep-dive look at the chip Nintendo has chosen as the centrepiece of NX, according to numerous well-placed sources: Nvidia's powerful Tegra mobile processor.
NX will use game cartridges as its choice of physical media, multiple sources have also told us.
Considering NX's basis as a handheld first and foremost, the choice may not come as too much of a surprise - although we have heard the suggestion Nintendo recommends a 32GB cartridge, which is small when considering the size of many modern games.
Naturally, we expect digital game downloads will also be available. We were told Nintendo considered but then decided against making a system which supported digital downloads only.
It's not the first time cartridge-based media has been mooted for NX. Back in May, eagle-eyed fans spotted The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's trademark included cartridge-based games. This was a change from Nintendo's usual wording for home console trademarks, which only refer to digital downloads and discs.
Due to the radical change in hardware design and internal technology, we've been told by one source that there are no plans for backwards compatibility.
Another source said the system would run on a new operating system from Nintendo. It won't, contrary to some earlier rumours, simply run on Android.
Inside the NX, as stated above, the system will harness Nvidia's powerful mobile processor Tegra. Graphical comparisons with current consoles are difficult due to the vastly different nature of the device - but once again we've heard Nintendo is not chasing graphical parity. Quite the opposite, it is sacrificing power to ensure it can squeeze all of this technology into a handheld, something which also tallies with earlier reports.
Finally, we've heard from one source that NX planning has recently moved up a gear within Nintendo ahead of the console's unveiling, which is currently slated for September.
After the confused PR fiasco of the Wii U launch, the company is already settling on a simple marketing message for NX - of being able to take your games with you on the go.
Nintendo always designs its hardware to show off specific game concepts - and it remains to be seen how the system will showcase the next Mario, or even how the NX version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - the only first-party game confirmed so-far - may differ when played on the device.
Previously, however, we've heard reports of various Wii U games reappearing as updated NX ports - Splatoon and Smash Bros. have both been mooted. And then there's Pikmin 4, which Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed to Eurogamer just over a year ago.
"Nintendo has not made any new official announcements regarding NX which is due to launch in March 2017," a Nintendo spokesperson told Eurogamer when contacted about this story. "As such [we're] unable to comment on the various rumours and speculations circulating."
Carts ::)
Whats the point
Previously, however, we've heard reports of various Wii U games reappearing as updated NX ports - SplatoonNX for babies confirmed.
So... this is going to be Nintendo's 3DS successor then? I mean it's a handheld.
I still rep SEGA, and my PC bros are good with it 8)
I also expect the dock will have USB ports. Mostly I want it for the GameCube adapter.
Speaking of, I really hope the "official" controller for the home mode is a rebranded Wii U Pro Controller, and old Pro Controllers are compatible (they're Bluetooth, so...)

I don't want to pay $350/$400 for the complete hybrid package, I want to buy the dock only with a controller. It would be daft to not offer both options.
I assumed both parts of the console are powerful enough to work by themselves without needing one another.

I'll eat my hat if this is more than $300.
It'd be daft to confuse consumers out of the gate again. Eurogamer says they're focusing on one message: "being able to take your games with you on the go."

Microsoft and Sony have been offering up different SKUs for many years now. Nintendo has done all sorts of weird things with their handhelds. 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, New 3DS.
If Nintendo can't advertise or market "This is for home console owners, this is for people that want to take that experience with them", they somehow forgot how to sell videogames to people.

Different SKUs turned out terribly for the Wii U. Basic edition was killed after like a year, and the only thing different with it was color and storage space.
And you want them to make a SKU that doesn't even have the system's defining feature? And have it exist side-by-side with the hybrid SKU? Yeah, no. :ufup
It's going to have the new Zelda on it and thus the machines specs should at least be close to on par with their current home console.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6cTt_nxTWoI'm doing a wait and see approach right now. I can't say I'm very optimistic though. Wouldn't surprise me if this rumor is false, but wouldn't surprise me if it's true either. The whole wait for the NX reveal got tiring for me.
DF thinks Zelda should have better performance, resolutions, and textures. :yeshrug
The GAF thread is filled with deluded loons but some of you guys are in the complete opposite direction. Meh.
This is gonna be a boon to people who like Japanese games but on the big screen, like me.There's this thing called PS4...
Vulkan will be interesting. But I can't see third parties developing for this thing.

I'm sure Unity will get ported to it, so your third party games will consist of rush job indie ports and not much else.
I dunno what publisher attitudes are like these days, but back in the Wii days the only way to get something greenlight was if it was in a genre that Nintendo didn't make (ie if you wanted to make a platformer or racing game you were probably SOL) because the perception was that Ninthings would only buy Nintendo entrants in a genre.

The examples they were using with the Nvidia shield were using a Tegra X1 on Android as well. If they use The Tegra X2, it should get them around Xbone or better levels of performance once you remove Android from the equation. Like, it won't be out of pace with last gen and the PS4 and Xbone will still exist for a good while even with Scorpio and Neo. They will probably have benefits working with Nvidia like Nvidia's ported apps as well, maybe even Nvidia GRID for saying technically they have a way to play 3rd party games.
Same time, it's Nintendo. They could fuck this up rotten.
idk, seems like it could be true:

Nvidia Tegra "Parker" will feature Nvidia’s own custom general-purpose ARMv8-compatible core Denver2 as well as code-named Pascal graphics processing core with GPGPU support. The chips will be made using FinFET process technology, which likely means that it will be made using TSMC's 16 nm FinFET+ manufacturing process.[83]
CPU: Nvidia Denver2 ARMv8 (64-bit) + ARMv8 ARM Cortex-A57 quad-core (64-bit)
RAM: upto 8GB DDR4
GPU: Pascal-based
Graphics RAM: upto 4GB GDDR5[84]

that two months ago on a japanese forum thing was a hoax
Wii U had 2 GB, 3DS had 128 MB.
If I had to guess I'd say 4 GB is likely, but it's possibly 3 GB too.
In retrospective, both the 3DS and the Wii U had pretty weak launch titles. I'm not expecting more than three first-party games at launch, including the enhanced version of Zelda.
I'm sure Yet Another New Super Mario Bros. will be a launch title. Although that's like predicting the sun is going to rise tomorrow :doge
My guess is that there will be another unambitious launch title that is meant to showcase the console and handheld modes of game play. Could be another Nintendoland.
Nintendo's strength as a software company is that for each generation, they could make one of their flagship games for their console and handheld. Now it's just going to be one device so Nintendo is effectively cutting out about half of their software sales. Maybe closer to a third or something since I think their handheld software sales are better.
What? TP is great after the god awful tutorial that eats up an entire afternoon. I barely did any side shit and was still at the 60 hour mark in the last dungeon, which I got lost in and thus never finished the game. :gloomy Still, Lager is a bad troll and should feel bad. :punch
Do we have a confirmed date or is it just speculation?Only speculation for now. I think there is an inferred release window from a financial statement.
god I suddenly remembered the Wiimote reveal in 2005
I actually got up early and was so excited to turn on my computer to read the news
then I saw the GAF shitstorm :lol
The date for a reveal is also unconfirmed.Do we have a confirmed date or is it just speculation?Only speculation for now. I think there is an inferred release window from a financial statement.
We talking about the reveal? That's what I'm asking about.
Isn't it confirmed the reveal will be this month? :doge

Gamecube had some decent games like Super Monkey Ball but Nintendo already started rehashing here so I have little love for the lunchbox.
You can hate on the Gamecube all you want, but all the games on it I'd argue were pretty experimental and creative. Hell, some still complain about those games for being that different even if it's just an aesthetic choice. Wind Waker was a cel shaded Zelda game with sailing as the main means of transportation, Star Fox was a Zelda clone, Super Mario Sunshine had Mario using a water powered jetpack for platforming, Metroid was in FIRST person with literal scanning of environments as a major gameplay component, Donkey Kong had a rhythm game and a side scroller primarily built on using a bongo controller, etc.
Regardless of how you feel about those games individually, you can't really say they didn't take chances with them. If anything, Nintendo played it safe with their Wii installments of their biggest franchises with waggle and motion controls being the main hook(in spite of being different means to the same result, so to speak). Hell, some would say that the risks taking were detrimental to their library then if anything. Which to me explains a lot of why they played it safer afterwards.

Today's Sony event is actually about the NX. You heard it here first.
The more I think about it, the more I think this system will be a complete clusterfuck. Worse than Wii U.
It will suck as a handheld and as a home console. The only thing it'll have going for it is the combined software of handheld and console which currently is separate (3DS, Wii U).
I guess as long as it has Pokemon and shit it'll sell. But yeah.
It's not looking good to me brehs. (http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/francis.png)
how can it be a great handheld with noisy active cooling and a shitty battery life? :doge
I think it'll be a great handheld with TV out. That's all it needs to be, really.

Hardware quality, sure. GameBoy survived Kuwait.

The day you realize that WHAT shit does rather than WHO makes it results in worthwhile things, you're going to be an acceptable human being. Until then, you're a walking stereotype that can just be disregarded out of hand.
I would be nice if people would start reacting to every Nintendo announcement with realistic expectations. I.E.: it won't blow anyone away, will have subpar graphics comparatively, might have a few decent Nintendo games, and there won't be any third party support.
I mean this has been their MO for the past 10 years, it's not gonna change anytime soon.
October reveal..
