Another day, another thread.
And I thought people were generally in agreement in the Financial Briefing thread not to make a new thread on this?

Sounds like you can't play all the games on the handheld and the TV, he makes it sound like some games will be TV only, which is a little disappointing
Edit: I expected all games would work on both, but the handheld versions would run at a lower resolution or with fewer bells and whistles
Edit 2: And because Nintendo are Nintendo I bet some of the handheld games won't work on the TV

I have searched first on other threads, but can't find any NX threads, thats why i created the new one.
I missed the Financial Briefing thread : /

Sigh,.... that's from Boogie and it's nothing but a fat rumor.

Don't understand how some people believe it won't be a hybrid. We've had so many people just come out and say it now.

Why does it matter what others think? If it feels like news, then why can't it get a thread?

does nintendo expect third parties to make, in essence, two games for a ecosystem they've historically abandoned?

Hmm he makes it sound like you play a console version of the game when it's docked and then a mobile variation of the game when it's portable. Kinda like two games in one.

Nobody cares about pockets anymore. We live in the phablet era.
They expected third parties to make games with mandatory touch/second screen features with their last system, so I wouldn't rule anything out for being clearly insane
Agreed in a thread that quite clearly states in the OP don't discuss rumors or use it as a general NX discussion one

Ok this makes it sound like there will be two versions of the game. So like VMU's for dreamcast but on a larger scale. Dunno if I'm happy with that.
Always thought it would be a seemless transition(besides performance) when going docked to undocked..
Anyways, I'll reserve final judgement for when this thing gets revealed (if ever).

Could just be the wording. It wouldn't make total sense to have completely different version of the game given that he also mentions it's a dream to code for. Having two versions does not sound like a dream to code for. I would guess it's a simple as running at a lower res/lower assets for the sake of lower power consumption and for a lower res screen.

Or like...
Game X on:
i7 5Ghz, 32GB ram, GTX SLI-1080 .vs. i5 2.8Ghz 8Gb ram, GTX 660Ti
Same game just lower settings when in portable mode compared to docked mode.
I hope it's the case thought, that would mean some game can be made with the idea of using 100% of the power of the console at all time instead of having the "handlet mode" to keep in mind.
I just read the squish turtle article now. So basically ibtimes or some publication published an article saying NX would be revealed on the 21st of October because of Squish turtle citing it as a source.
When you read squish turtle the guy wrote 21st of October based on speculation that it would happen because of the anniversary of the first Nintendo direct. lol

Wouldn't it have to be a 'form' of the game in this kind of scenario? Even if you just think of UI concerns going from a small portable screen to a big screen, unless games have two different UI 'modes', or the developers design for the portable screen and just roll with the large UI on the TV.

Oh I'm not complaining. The more the merrier with NX speculation threads
Please reveal it Nintendo I can't take many more notifications of threads with NX in the title that aren't the announcement.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
It confirms nothing.

This is my hope. PC devs have a lot of experience developing for multiple spec levels like this.

Just sounds like they're making what people thought the WiiU actually was.
While I can see your point, I still think the point of it being a hybrid would be reduced if they still segregated "handheld games" and "consoles games"
I'd much rather they target the bigger games so they work amazingly well on the TV then run ok on the handheld, and they make the handheld games look good on the handheld, but like HD remakes on the TV (If that makes sense)
Pretty much this

The interesting thing is that it may not just be a straight "play the same game on your couch or on the go" type thing.
I was hoping developers would be a bit more creative than that and develop games with different systems within it. Think Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast with Chu Chu farming when you took the memory card with you.
So like 3D World when it's plugged in and then smaller Captain Toad type levels on the go and somehow they both interact with one another, open up new paths or whatever.
I see this as a positive. It would account for the obvious design differences between handheld and console games.

Yeah, I do find it funny that we talk/think about handhelds this way, when there are more handhelds that don't fit into pockets than do. Game Boy, Game Gear, Lynx, Turbo G, Vita... and a few others couldn't fit into standard pockets, even during an era where we didn't have large mobile phones.
Oh, it's Boogie? Sure I'll believe him.
He's one of the few that wouldn't bullshit about something like this if you ask me.
Also October 21st certainly makes a lot of sense if only from a historical standpoint when it comes to Nintendo.
No idea if it'll happen, but this is one rumour I'm actually am willing to believe.

I'd much prefer to not be told that I can't play 3D world on the go.
The worst part reading this is he tried to come up with a scenario to explain this and it just sounds awful.
Unless the dock is going to have a GPU in it, there's no reason to have "a part" of the game only for the handheld. It should be able to play the same game regardless of it being docked or not.
It pretty much screws over multiplatform ports without devs begrudgingly adding shitty mini games though

What scares me is that it could possibly be 3D World on the tv, and Mario Runner on the go. I don't want "a form of the game" I want the full game wherever I am, personally.

This is very true. But Nintendo's in-house stuff could be kick ass.

Good to see someone else say Boogie wouldn't make this stuff up.
Yeah, there's people who doubt it.
I feel like this is what he meant to say, but said it incorrectly.

Not sure how I'd feel about two completely different versions of a game depending on the mode, I'm not necessarily going to want to go away from the console and play a mobile version or some other variation more suited to a handheld environment. I'm hoping it's more the case of the games scaling depending on the mode. I think that's something that's doable, and that developers can feasibly work towards if the architecture allows it, and they know exactly what those multiple optimisation targets are.
