Idea Man, is it a hybrid. That's the only question you need to answer.

Its either going to be a service, cartridge based console, or an all in one handheld with dock that lets you play the game on a TV and remove it to take it on the go, in my opinion.

I understood that reference lolNeoxon can answer that question for you

I'll just leave this here.Its either going to be a service, cartridge based console, or an all in one handheld with dock that lets you play the game on a TV and remove it to take it on the go, in my opinion.
You actually forced my hand.Neoxon can answer that question for you
Well I guess 'mmh' should mean it's not that interesting after all, especially for someone who's a Nintendo fan. Probably thinks it's another gimmick like the Wii was and doesn't know how it'll end up.
or maybe its like mmh mmh good

Right, lmaoNeoxon can answer that question for you
Just want to point out that he could be saying a June announcement would not match a third party publisher's schedule. They have to do their hype cycle too at some point.
I've speculated before that Nintendo would announce before the end of the fiscal year to allow third parties to announce/schedule their release slates for investors.
Do you feel the next Nintendo Direct will give us some details on the NX or there will be details in a couple Directs time?
Next direct I feel like they'll tell us to get excited for upcoming news.Do you feel the next Nintendo Direct will give us some details on the NX or there will be details in a couple Directs time?

What we mean by integrating platforms is not integrating handhelds devices and home consoles to make only one machine.
- From Corporate Management Policy Briefing that Neoxon linked to.What we are aiming at is to integrate the architecture to form a common basis for software development so that we can make software assets more transferrable, and operating systems and their build-in applications more portable, regardless of form factor or performance of each platform. They will also work to avoid software lineup shortages or software development delays which tend to happen just after the launch of new hardware.

Basically an Apple like ecosystem.
Thank you. This info needs to be propagated because I'm really tired of people assuming it's a hybrid when Iwata, rest his soul, explicitly stated that it wouldn't be.
Btw I was only a lurker in the WUST days so seeing IdeaMan again and being able to interact with him this time is pretty cool. What's happening bro. You're my wily French hero.
Nah, just more incomprehensible and boring to read.Looks like this thread just got more interesting...
PS4 was probably in development for 5-6 years at that point though right? NX is being rushed out after probably a couple of years development to this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they just aren't really ready for many third parties to take on projects with it.
Actually Miyamoto said they actually already started working on Wii U's and 3DS's successor in 2012 and Iwata said in May 2014 that they already had a clear idea about what the Wii U successor was and that they usually start working on or brainstorming the successor right after.Oh lovely....

I don't have an issue with IdeaMan, I really don't. What I do take issue with is the 90 pages of absurd bullshit his posts spawn that choke out any actual conversation that could be meaningfully had.
So how about we take the last few pages of this thread as a reminder of how that behaviour is part of the reason (if not the only reason) why we can't have speculation threads anymore and try not to shit the bed all over again, hmm?
Uhhh, Nintendo has been talking about the successor to the Wii U since the release of Mario Kart 8, in a reasonable amount of detail to lead one to believe they've had what they're planning pretty well mapped out since the Wii U hit the shelves.

It's possible that the NX has been in development since early 2013 and the idea to make it an Apple-like ecosystem with a shared library probably came around awhile ago.
Why do you have to be so vague? You mean we are wrong about third parties?something wrong from a third-party perspective
and hello everyone i missed you!
Thank you for zeroing in on the point I'm trying to get across.- From Corporate Management Policy Briefing that Neoxon linked to.

But also what I think this means is that the ecosystem will be have transferable architecture across multiple console/handheld generation; thus this upcoming system may have weaker system specs than expected, but, as with Apple's model, the next system will be iterative on the existing architecture giving more power to devs, but also retaining an already established software, very much analogous to they way apps work across iPhone/iPad generations.
Nintendo has been inspired Apple before (DS Lite and Wii), plus this is much more sustainable and a new approach to video games.
But It's just theory ... The system will probably be something more expected.
Probably not. We'll have to wait until at least GDC for reliable rumors. Next direct, I think the best we can hope for is more concrete news on Zelda Wii U, assuming they want to get it out of the way to focus on an NX blowout at E3. If not, then don't even expect that.
I feel like Zelda Wii U and NX details go hand in hand.
Depends on what NX is. If Zelda U makes major use of the game pad or the power difference is severe enough between the two systems, then it probably wouldn't make much sense to use Zelda as a cross-gen showpiece.
Regarding a big power increase: All of the footage I remember seeing of Zelda Wii U so far has been oddly low-res. I don't think it's the result of the streams either, since surrounding footage wasn't that way. If I'm right and not just imagining the blurriness, I'm guessing this means the game will be 720p/30fps on Wii U at best when it is released. I could see an NX version, assuming a big increase in power, running at 1080/30 (or 1080/60), cutting out all loading times, bumping up AA and AF, improving lighting and shadow quality, increasing draw distance, and maybe putting in high res textures where they are lower. Essentially turning up all the sliders from "low" to "high." As a precedent, I'm thinking of MH4U on n3DS compared to 3DS, but something even more dramatic. I'm not saying this will happen, but I think a big hardware bump does not mean Zelda Wii U will not end up on NX as a showpiece, as I think that the cel-shaded art style would really look nice with improved IQ. Plus, any hardware innovations that NX has might make the NX version "better" (though the opposite is also possible, depending on NX features and GamePad usage).

They flipped all of TP Wii for it to work with right-handed motion controls. IMO, if they really want Zelda on the NX they'll make it work even if it means delaying the game for a year from its intended release.
Zelda's Wii U version isn't coming before the end of the year because TP HD is scheduled for early 2016 and I don't think they're going to release two Zelda games very close. I just can't see a new console release coinciding with a new Zelda release exclusively for an effectively obsolete system.
What if they release according to region, and release the other later? Like nx handheld releases in Japan, and the nx console releases in the states. A shared operating system could easily make it work

Do people think it'll be more or less than the Wii U then? I seem to recall paying 349.99 for a Wii U with ZombieU. So I'm not sure if I want it higher or lower.
I've got the feeling the next ND will mostly cover some smaller games that are going to come out in the first few month of the year. It will most definitely end with some kind of teaser/announcement for a special E3 event like last year.

So (western) third parties are practically not considered into the schedule? No devkits yet or not enough time to be ready for Oct-Nov, maybe?
This would fit the earlier discussion.
