If they were making a port, Square-Enix can tone down other aspects of the game to make it run. It's unlikely a situation like the Wii U when they CPU gave devs plenty of issues before they can think about the GPU.

No current plans for NX yeah.
Then again Ubisoft told us they were working on BG&E2 for years before admitting it was in pre-production.
What is the truth anymore.
Wii was $250 at launch. Besides the wow factor of Wii Sports, the price put it in the impulse buying territory for a lot of people. Wii Board came only later when Wii was already a huge success.
It's much easier to see expensive accessories on top of a well selling product.

lol, yea I hear you there. You wonder if the build they showed around 2009 for ps3/xb360 was totally scrapped and rebuilt after they made rayman origins/legends.

They said it would be between ps4 and ps4 pro. Not same level as pro.
I dunno, the thinking might be that with a shorter reveal->release cycle the more hard-core fans will be a lot louder.
I imagine it could/would backfire though.

Ah yeah, just like we won't see it on PC
well PC is infinitely more likely than NX but still
So they do say next week, so they would know right?

Never been on gaf with these big console reveals.
Is gaf going to die when it's finally shown?

Thread should have been closed as soon as Gameblog was in the title.
It's far more likely to die when they announce the reveal date, rather than at the reveal itself.
Probably.
The investors meeting isnt next week tho, its the week after, so something prob happening next week
True but I was just trying to say that people are predicting doom on a price that firstly isn't even necessarily true and we don't even know what the product is.
As I said the Wii U could have been half the price and I don't think it would have made it a success.
If the product is desirable it will sell well. I think the Wii would probably have sold well even if it was more expensive (within reason of course).
Infact I still remember the days of the Wii, game stores were selling ridiculously priced bundles, so you couldn't buy just the console on it's own, and due to the demand people were paying the prices.
There was also a massive market of scalpers and again the consoles were selling regardless of the price. Everyone wanted one, everyone was talking about it, it was the in thing.
To give you an idea how bad it is there are shops in the UK (no doubt in the US too) where you can reserve items online to pick up in store, the service is free, but the Wii was so popular that people were selling the reservations for large amounts of money. Wii fever was crazy.
Now I'm not saying NX will be like that, but it's not impossible. No one expected the Wii success coming off of the gamecube.

Thats what i meant. They probably know that they MUST say something before the meeting. So they say the reveal is next week.

They don't *have* to say anything about NX before the 26th.
They do have to say something about NX alongside the Q2 results, even if it's just a reveal date. Well, probably. If it's not delayed.
oh gotcha yea, they need to say something before the meeting

You could word it "Speculation: Analyst firm Macquarie saying NX (news) coming next week". Should be sufficient enough to prevent utter confusion/panic.

Isn't the price vs. power a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation? Yes, $250 is more attractive to a mass audience than $300, but at that point you're most likely going to run into an underpowered narrative. I know it matters less because it's primarily a handheld, but as Nintendo's only machine the third-party problem is going to come up. Perhaps it's destined to come up either way, but the question becomes is the extra power afforded by the extra $50 from $250 to $300 worth it?
Btw, I think $350 is pushing DOA, and also it's very possible this newest source is wrong and the MVC "cheaper than the majority are expecting" report is more accurate.

820-900p handheld with PS4 level specs is worth the $350 value, especially if there are enough games at launch.
It's still much easier to make an n64 game look good on a 240p screen than 720p/ 1080p.
It may be my personal taste speaking, but I've got the feeling it wouldn't drive anybody to buy it again.

Not for GAF. For GAF it should be:
4k gaming, 60 fps, more powerful than the scorpio, free online, battery life of 12+ hours, every game ever released on a Nintendo platform on the VC (for free of course), 60 games at launch, four new games packed in at launch at a price of 149 dollar because Nintendo.
That makes me wonder whether they'd try to give Yoshi a guest role in the Rabbids TV show.
Yoshi on TV could be interesting.
Where do i buy this?
Even then, it would be a tough sell for a lot of gaffers
Yep, most of us still need to shift through over half of our backlogs because we are too busy talking about games instead of playing them

And you can blame that on gaffers or you can think more and ask yourself who's to blame that Nintendo created this image for themselves. If there's anybody to blame at all. When you promote yourself as an affordable family friendly brand for more than 10 years you can't suddenly become premium without a hell of an effort. As I stated earlier, even the almighty Google has an issue now with its Pixel phone because his they positioned the previous Nexus range.
Add to that the lack of western third parties (which is part of the brand now) and you have the full image why most of the people will expect a cheap Nintendo device.

In retrospect Wii should've launched at $300-350. Wii U just wasn't as attractive a concept and couldn't demand it.
But it's irrelevant. Graphically, Ocarina of Time 3D is a different beast than original Ocarina of Time. If it was made for a different system it would've been made to the specifications of that system, and again it wouldn't matter what the N64 version looks like.

It's a timed exclusive from what I remember yes. Not an exclusive though (nor a console exclusive like some other games).
S-E will want maximum profit on this one, can't really blame them.
This.
I dont think PS4 specs on a handheld is possible at 350$, unless Nintendo is willing to take a big loss per unit.

then I'll blame it on gaffers
Not to defend that source, but to clarify what may have been lost in my hasty translation: That specific rumor doesn't tout PS4 specs, but graphics visually close to the quality of PS4's on the smaller screen.
A bit like how vita makes games look awesome when they're actually not all that high res.
