Is your quality of life feeling a bit dull? Time to get extreme with Nintendo NX!
..a hybrid console also means a higher price (if you want it to be more powerful than Wii U). Better to have two separate machines that run the same OS with scaled hardware.
If the new handheld is a hybrid with the next console in some sort of way (like in both having the same games), I don't think it is coming as soon as early 2016, specially since it is almost half 2015 and we know nothing about it yet, other than the name "NX" (if it is even related to a handheld).Even late 2016 sounds a bit late. 3DS is dying and there are no software slated to release this summer and fall. And if they decide not to announce huge slew of (New) 3DS games at E3, I think we can get our hands on the new system as early as Spring 2016.
Q&A section I assume. One of the questions regarding why they announced NX in this Direct.
Shhhh, you're using logic in a Nintendo Neogaf thread. No thoughts now. Only emotions.
Rösti;156259210 said:Third party developers will likely be briefed in some way at E3 this year (some will likely be briefed before). That allows a chance for leaks and rumors. But sure, actual information directly from the source will come first next year.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the theater they have booked (their regular one) is to provide more information on this DeNA business.
why? none of us got it right, not even usc-fan.
Besides Wii U being more powerful than last gen consoles is pretty much what we ended up with, considering this is just a tad better than PS4 (1.843TFLOPs to 2TFLOPs) it wouldn't be that shocking.
I agree with everything you said, great write up !Let's not overthink things.
NX is such a cool name; hope they stick with that.
This has been an exciting day for Nintendo. Mobile partnership, better club Nintendo replacement, and new hardware development announced. Really interesting stuff.
Well I don't know if I want to buy a WiiU now, though I should since I already have SmashU and Bayo1&2.
It's still at least a year and a half out, probably two years. Relax, get a Wii U and enjoy it
Yeah. Now we're just missing a ND announcement. I can feel it...

It's going to be a console/handheld hybrid. Calling it now.
"New concept" makes me concerned.
Of course, this could realistically be new to Nintendo.
Companion games/smart phone apps that interact with games on their dedicated video game platforms would be a smart approach to tempt consumers on both ends. We'll see if that's how it goes. I feel like Nintendo will make a lot of mistakes with this new partnership before they get it right.Would it be something like, a main game on their console and then related apps for that game on tablets and smartphones?
Example: play zelda minigames on mobile to earn extra rupees in Zelda NX
Each game would have this in an optional way so it would never be required.
Seems pretty plausible. I have a feeling they want to integrate the shit out of all this.Would it be something like, a main game on their console and then related apps for that game on tablets and smartphones?

Is it confirmed to be a new platform? For those who bought a New 3DS XL just now, this may not be such good news if a new handleheld!
What does this exactly mean? What is with the tablet and PC part?

Ditching the Wii U sooner than expected huh. Can't blame them.
I hope this new console is devoid of more gimmicky garbage. Make a games console Nintendo.
