Yeah, in the past.
The design needs a d-pad somewhere. Not having it would hurt playability of platformers and nearly all VC games.
people seemed to be really stoked for nostalgia is more like it.
This. So dissapointed so far if this ends up being true wich it seem like it : / I appreciate Nintendo's effort on always bring something new to the table but this new concept seems a bit unnecesary IMO.
Gaming on the go!
Too bad I have to drive everywhere. I like gaming on my couch. Or in my comfy office chair. I also really like Mario games and the like, but I just can't get excited about this. After the Wii-U, actually releasing a new device that's less powerful... I just can't support that. I've never been a hand held guy, so I'm happy for you DSers, but I'm out. Atleastmost I don't have to buy a new system to get the better version of the new Zelda!
Stage 3: Bargaining
I just hope and pray that the tablet in the middle is at least a decent all-around device for media consumption and browsing. Maybe even Android like the earliest rumors?
No your confused because you didn't read the context of the post I responded to, suggesting that those questioning physical media coupled with portable devices in 2016 "didn't know shit".
I don't make the news, I just report it.
Look around you next time you're in public and try to spot the number of people actually using physical media with their portable devices. I'll be over here waiting.
Point is, that's fine if you've no issue with carts/sd cards or whatever for a new electronic device in 2016. There are likely many others like you as well.
However, if you're not cognizant that ALL forms of physical media are a dead or dying phenomena, then you're the one who is blind. There's a reason why there are no more CD/Record Stores anymore. Why Blockbuster and such have all gone bankrupt. Why new cars don't ship with CD players standard anymore.
People are simply accustomed to carrying a single device that has all their media digitally stored for instant access, be it music, movies, tv shows, Netflix, YouTube, games, podcasts, books or whatever.
So introducing a cart/sd cart format in the modern age is going to come off as dated to modern consumers no matter how unruffled you may be about it. It's just where we're at on this particular technological timeline.

No BC according to the article.
Depending on the size, 720p can look very good.Watch the screen resolution be 720p lol. They released the 3DS with a 240p screen and Wii U 480p.
If this is launching in March, not really. Having a single SKU during that time will be fine.
During its first holiday, yeah, having a handheld only version might be ideal. Assuming they even go this route. I could honestly see Nintendo sticking with a single retail option.
But Gamecube sold almost 10 mi more that the WiiU
I want the handheld to be usable in my hand when I'm docked to the TV. Maybe wiiU style streaming to the dock. That way I can use the touchscreen controls and have the option of a second screen for asymmetric games
DId I misread the Digital Foundry article? I thought it said it was more powerful than Wii U.
His quote and today's reveal has me questioning the whole idea of a hybrid.
What defines a hybrid?
Is it a handheld with TV out?
Is it a handheld with controller support?
Is it a handheld that plays console games?
Is it a handheld that can become a console once docked?
How do you define HYBRID? What was Iwata's definition of a hybrid? What is ours?
From a Nintendo perspective, we clearly have strength here in the Americas, we have strength in Europe and we have strength in Japan. That isnt necessarily true of some of our more direct competitors. Weve also said publicly that we are already hard at work on our next home console and thats another element well be talking about much later.
I dunno, I know the market for handheld is shrinking but even the new Nintendo 3ds sold atleast 7.5 million as of February I think and that is just an upgraded 3DS. Im sure quite a few people who still use their 3DS didnt feel the need to upgrade to the new version. So I imagine this will atleast do better than the Wii U.Yeah because I was totally referring to the past market trends in my post...

Families aren't gonna need duplicate setups. You might want 3 handhelds, but families aren't gonna want to pay an extra $100 per unit for all of the TV shit that they need just one of.
I speak of this as the person in this exact situation fyi.
I wasn't talking about backwards compatibility. I was talking about Nintendo having one platform vs two and concentrating the flow of titles into one system. That's stunning stuff right there.
It's replacing both the 3DS and the Wii U. That's one hell of a deal for me given that between the two of them they're all I play anymore.

Let's keep in mind Just Dance and Sonic 2017 are coming to NX.
Are there any rumours of this thing running an android based OS? I mean, it would be kinda cool if it could also play Pokemon GO and any other game that Nintendo puts out on mobile.
