I'm willing to confirm the Wii U port titles. Those 4 are what I've been told.
Hm interesting.

We don't even know what the PS4K can do.
Chill.
So smash NX newcomers & veterans:
Inkling
Chorus boyz
Female link
Elma
Wolf
Snake
Ice climbers
ok, thanks for clarifying that shrew, I just got really confused for a moment there >.<Just the bit about how we're so hung up about architectures.
it would suck if I couldn't transfer my character over (leveling up sucks, especially ranking and rolling for abilities) but I have to wonder if its worth possibly delaying the game further out when it could've been a launch bundle or something.They probably want to give reasons to upgrade but yes.
no way will devs burn the 40+ million current usersHahaha, oh damn dude. Yea....idk, NX might sell better than PS4K, still a lot of OG PS4 users out there. Good burn on him though!
The ports pretty much confirm backwards compatibility is dead.
Why no Mario Kart 8 remaster?
Not really, she heard of "at least 4 ports" before.Lol is that Emily rogers trying to take 10k's info as here own? That's really lame.
But that's just 10k talking about lcgeek's post.
And there was a range of 15-30%
I like it. The anime is kind of on hold now, the manga is still going on though. Lots of cooking action lol.
Why no Mario Kart 8 remaster?
Anyway, time to preorder NX!
FZZ said:PS4k rumors are indicating a minimum 2x increase in GPU performance. 30% is still nothing. And if the Xbox Pi or whatever it's gonna be called launches as well Nintendo will be in the exact same situation. Shit is eerily feeling like Wii U part 2. The benefit (hopefully) is that at the very least architecture will be shared. Of course this is all conjecture.
Why? We just got Twilight Princess HD, didn't we?
I kinda doubt that we'll get any new characters (as stated before, I'm of the belief that Smash 4 on the NX Platform will just be a straight port of the Wii U + all of the DLC). And even then, Female Link would just be an alternate costume for Link, which wouldn't work since Smash 4 Link is Twilight Princess Link.So smash NX newcomers & veterans:
Inkling
Chorus boyz
Female link
Wolf
Snake
Ice climbers
Are we looking at a $400-$500 system here with those specs? A price like that could hamstring this thing right off the bat.
Lol is that Emily rogers trying to take 10k's info as here own? That's really lame.
That's a port...? Backwards compatibility means you can throw in a wii u disc and it'll just work.
ctrl+F: "metroid"

If my digital Wii U games [including Retail] dont work on NX, I won't be getting one until they are very very very discounted / cheap.
Umm dude, I regularly talk to Emily and she knew about this months ago. She just wanted to wait from more sources. I also wanted to hear it from more people. She's way more legit than me. She's an insider. I'm just some guy who did some investigating.Lol is that Emily rogers trying to take 10k's info as here own? That's really lame.

I think that's their point. Wii U already has Wii BC, so a remaster of Twilight Princess was unnecessary. Saying that a remaster doesn't necessarily mean no BC.
I meant that despite the Wii U having BC with the Wii we still got a wii port/enhanced port/remake

I'm very fortunate to know what the gimmick of the NX is. I suspect 10k knows also, but I would be very surprised if he reveals it.

GPU
Best case scenario:
24 GCN 1.2 CUs @ 800MHz (~2.5 Tflops)
Very good case scenario:
20 GCN 1.2 CUs @ 700MHz (~1.8 Tflops)
Middle case scenario:
14 GCN 1.2 CUs @ 650MHz (~1.2 Tflops)
Not very good case scenario:
10 GCN 1.2 CUs @ 600MHz (~800 Gflops)
Worst case scenario:
16-core Mali T760 @ 700MHz (~400 Gflops)
RAM
Best case scenario:
4GB HBM - 512 GB/s
12GB (LP)DDR4 - ~60 GB/s
Very good case scenario:
2GB HBM - 256 GB/s
8GB DDR4 - ~40 GB/s
Middle case scenario:
8GB GDDR5 - 190 GB/s
or
8GB LPDDR4 - 100-120 GB/s
Not very good case scenario:
32MB SRAM - 200 GB/s
8GB DDR3 - 17 GB/s
Worst case scenario:
4GB LPDDR3 - 30 GB/s
Obviously there's a pretty big gap between best and worst case scenarios, but that largely reflects how little we actually know about Nintendo's plans.
Regarding the people who are asking why Nintendo would use a CPU that's more powerful than PS4 and XBO but use a GPU that's less powerful than either, there's a pretty simple reason: any of the default options for the CPU would be more powerful than the Jaguar cores used in PS4 and XBO. The Puma, A72 and even A57 are all more capable cores than Jaguar are, and are typically organised in quad-core clusters, making an eight-core configuration the most likely (as a quad core wouldn't really allow them to compete at all, and a six-core config would save very little die space and cause an awkward asymmetry when it comes to cache). Even if they only went with the "not very good case scenario" for the GPU in order to reduce cost and power consumption, an 8-core A72 configuration doesn't take up that much die space and can consume very little power. There's not really a whole lot of point in intentionally crippling the CPU just to achieve a "more balanced" system.
Oh believe me, I pressed for info about cartridges and such, they wouldn't bite lol.
"But if the CPU is 15-30% stronger than PS4 as alluded to by LCGeek, than the GPU would need to match that bump in order to not bottleneck (Nintendo hates their bottlenecks)."
But the CPU wàs the bottleneck in the PS4/XBO... so beefing up both CPU + RAM + GPU will once again make the CPU the bottleneck..?
Because if they're smart, they'll have MK9 launching spring 2017 alongside the launch of the handheld, playable on the console as well. No MK8 remaster is good news, imo.
Xenoblade said:I'm very fortunate to know what the gimmick of the NX is. I suspect 10k knows also, but I would be very surprised if he reveals it.
That has nothing to do with backwards compatibility.
Yup, Smash, Mario Maker, and Splatoon all work because they are basically long-term service games for Nintendo, with a strong community emphasis. Makes sense to build off them as their communities are already established, rather than starting from scratch. If they actually are trying cross-play for the latter two, that is especially awesome and solidifies them as solid choices.
Mario Kart is a one-per-console affair. It benefits more strongly from a ground-up release than those three.
It's in the post. I don't know if that May 9th date is real. It sounds fake, but some sources said they'd look into it.Been following the thread but haven't had much reason to post. Just wanted to ask if you know, or can share, and information on whether we will get a reveal prior to e3?
It's actually sad you have to say this, but yeah I remember you saying to were talking to her a couple days ago.
People are just very quick to shit on Emily without actually thinking
So, with a Smash Bros port does that mean there is going to be any extra content besides the DLC being on the disc? I really need some more Final Fantasy tracks...
