NX Thread!!! Now you Playing with Power ????

[Cute Pikachu]

All I ask, is that whatever it is; they make it worth buying.  

If it has 10 great games, and asking 199$, I don't really care if it's powerful.  

Same for me

Emily Rogers: NX News From "Major Sites" Soon; "Sounds Expensive" - NeoGAF

From her Twitter. Remember, oldest posts are at the bottom. For reference, her earlier post she links to is here: https://arcadegirl64.wordpress.com/2...3/so-about-nx/

Probably at the investor meeting in a couple days.

I still believe it's just going to be Nintendo innovating for the sake of innovation again, which will again give us something that nobody actually wants, proving that Nintendo still doesn't get it. So the NX will fail, we'll get another couple years of Nintendo fanboys crying about how unappreciated their console is and how they "still got the best games".

And then after that Nintendo will hopefully finally decide to ditch their shaming hardware and focus on being a software developer.

Make up your fudgy mind!

I don't think that's a good thing.  This is Sonic 06 all over again!

Not too bad of a mock up
NeoGAF - View Single Post -  Eurogamer: NX = portable w/ carts, detachable controllers, Tegra, TV Out, no BC, Sept

Here's a mockup I created for this concept, taking some creative liberties with it. This is with a 5" screen. It is a little slimmer and less tall than a 3DS, but wider with the controllers attached.
 My opinions on this idea:
 -The controllers aren't detachable so that two people can play with them, that's silly. They're detachable because it makes this the perfect competitor to phones which really only suck because they don't have proper controls, in which case it can be sold to young people buying their first phone which is where Nintendo's handheld market is currently being gouged out. The idea that it's "too hard", and Nintendo should abandon their biggest market to go after the saturated home console market mid-cycle is ridiculous. You want something hard? Try selling a $400 console to people who already own one. Meanwhile we're not going to run out of teenagers buying their first phones anytime soon and that could be a huge market for Nintendo.
 -With the controllers detachable, this could be one of the best VR solutions out there if sold with a Galaxy Gear-like headset and maybe a motion tracking device, because you could take the controller bits off, place the device into the headset and use the motion controls from those two controllers similar to Vive's or Oculus'.
 -Why are people complaining about power? This is an example of Nintendo focusing on power for the first time in a long time - if they're using the Tegra X2 especially, this is about the most powerful handheld you could possibly build. If Sony wanted to do their Sony thing of releasing a more powerful handheld right after to compete with it they would have a hard time. This would be the most powerful handheld ever, which is a huge departure from the DS and 3DS strategy.
 -Combining their handheld and home console software production will partly eliminate software droughts.

Regarding the power, when people speak about that they don't mean in relation to handhelds, being the most powerful handheld has never been relevant. The point is that in relation to home consoles the NX would still be low end in terms of power.

Also when it comes to droughts, people seem to be forgetting how unprepared Nintendos handheld teams are for HD development. Just imagine the Pokemon company trying to make a fullfledged HD Pokemon game, they are completely unprepared for that. Their handheld teams will have to increase like crazy, if they want to make real console level HD games. Game output will not increase as much as people think I believe.

Tachi made it sound like the whole company was not prepared for that.

I'm really surprised that so many people are impressed with the mock up, it's what I was expecting the whole time.

system is too big to be portable.
controllers are too small to be comfortable as a home console.

And too small to be a tablet!

Wouldn't be surprised if it's foldable or something
