So who's Team Mystery Dock? I'm all about that dock baby!
Still no news if this portable will have 3D capabilities as 3DS?
So, it's pretty clear in the Eurogamer report that what Tegra chip they're using is not specified. Which would give me hope if we didn't hear how cheap it supposedly it's going to cost. I don't know if they're doing any favors for themselves by waiting until September now that we have this leak.
Multiple sources have confirmed that the new machine is based around Nvidia's mobile-orientated Tegra processor, with development kits currently using the Tegra X1 chip found in the Shield Android TV console and the Google Pixel C tablet.
Man, I really hope they port most of the popular Wii U titles to this. I don't really feel like buying a Wii U at all. Titles such as Bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X deserves to be played by more people.
ew, this is a gaming device

If we apply this formula to the news at hand, Nintendo will issue a press release/statement regarding NX on Friday, July 29, 2016.
I already did in the same mock-up thread you mention.The mockup thread got me thinking - Maybe those digital button patents that looked batshit nuts, are actually going to be apart of this thing.
Think about it - many of us assumed that the two detachable controllers meant it was GamePad-like, with navigation on the left and buttons on the right. The assumption followed naturally, that when the screen was docked, each side would connect together or act like the Wiimote/Nunchuck.
Eurogramer, however, says that the two detachable controllers will act separately from each other to encourage local, on-the-go multiplayer. In a scenario like that, the easy assumption is that the each side would look similar to a classic NES or SNES pad. Navigation and buttons on each side, that much like the Wiimote, can function rather held horizontally and vertically.
Why can't it be both? And more.
Perhaps Nintendo is utilizing digital buttons. The left and right side could each have a Analog Stick and smaller Analog nub, and a screen capable of displaying any number of button layouts.
Playing Zelda on the go? Well, the NX controller can display your standard button layout for an adventure game. Local multiplayer on the go? Each controller has its own navigation and presents a three button layout. Mario Kart? Steer with gyro, and a simple FIRE button for weapons.
If NX is meant to be a play anything, anywhere, anytime device... customized control would make a lot of sense.
(If I had any skill whatsoever, I would try and mock this up)

You never seen tablets under $250 yet? You don't know that Nvidia Shield products have been around $200, including the ones with screen and battery? Are you a time traveller that think Surface Pro 4 is the only tablet device on Earth?
I'm Team Mystery Detachable Controllers, there's something more to it.
See my edit, and no, I don't think it is, it was just an example. I'm also not sure how a Shield K1 performs even when compared to a WiiU.
I'm not saying that the power is insufficient or something like that, I'm just saying that I don't think that based on what we know there will have to be a compromise between power and price and that Nintendo should (I really hope they will) lean more to the price side.
Early online speculation about pricing for the NX expects it to be cheaper than current consoles, but from what we’ve heard it’s going to be cheaper than even the vast majority expect. This is a machine that is targeting the mass market, and Nintendo certainly plans for it to have a mass market price. Price is one Wii U mistake Nintendo is determined not to repeat. This could be NX's single biggest win.
And thats why they want OLED. It is a difference when its just for gaming. I would even say watching movies too.
Some want more accurate colors of LCD, some want colors to pop and have the blacks, contrast pros of OLED. I seriously doubt Nintendo is going to go for really current LCD tech thats more closer to the pros of OLED.
Its one reason I wanted to get the orig Vita to replace one I broke. But the microUSB charging and better battery life on the revisions with LCD means more to me now.

If Nintendo manage to have Xbox One level power in docked mode with the dock having extra power. I'd buy that for $350 easily and get all my multiplatform games on NX. Imagine if I can play all these hot multiplatform games on the Go.
I really wish Nintendo went all out and had a $350 docked bundle. And they can sell the non docked version for $200 for the mass market. Dock can also be sold seperate at $170. That's only if the dock doubles the power to support Xbox One level games. If not then the bundled version should be $250 at most.
So what if.
NX is a family of devices.
This is a handheld you can hook up to the TV, featuring Tegra X1. (720p)
Later on they release a console with just the controller's and the dock, featuring Tegra X2 (900p). Nintendo's SCD patent means they can operate under virtual SLI (1080p).
So you get a mobile user version, a console user version and a power user version.
I consider this incrediblylikely.un

There is zero chance that Nintendo goes with OLED.
That's what Ouya wanted to do : first Ouya with Tegra 3, next Ouya next year with Tegra 4. And... OU-YA is dead.
oled screens are not ideal for a medium that has a lot of static images on the screen like a HUD or a navigation bar in an internet browser or app or whatever. hopefully Nintendo does not go this route, their hardware is typically built to last and an oled screen would hinder that.

I hope so. Resistive makes it impossible to type with your fingers. Freakin pain in Monster Hunter.I agree. But someone did ask....are they finally getting rid of resistive? Would be nice. I think they are if the NX will play mobile games.

One thing about the price, a Surface pro 4 costs like 1000 euros and is still very much weaker than a PS4 or Xbox1, right? How will Nintendo make a portable console more powerful than it and sell it for 200~?
It's a Tegra X1. There's a video about it done by DF:

And you're awfully misinformed for how much you comment on it. I don't know, maybe is better to first read more?
Edit: like this for example:

You mean for burn in? That really hasnt been an issue for high quality OLED screens, tech for a few years now.
If it was for the Vita is was a small issue and not wide spread. AFAIK.
Explain 3DS hinges and lower screen scratches then. Lol
Nintendo usually released upgrades of thei handhelds and lately their first handheld iteration is crap, so I say: bring dat Oled screen.
The X2 would allow for better power consumption and performance right?Hopefully the final product is using the X2, and the device has different power profiles.
Just one level of performance, which would be geared towards mobile play, would be awful.
The NX is unlikely to get a lot of western AAA 3rd party support. Which is probably okay as long as they can get indies and Japanese devs onboard.
I do feel one exception Nintendo needs to make, though, is sports games. Sports games are a huge market and they need to at least make a play for it.
how expensive though?
and I mean, not trying to be sour or anything, but vita sales themselves were not widespread so that's not necessarily good evidence. plus not all vita models have the oled screen.
did I praise those issues or something?

Interesting PCWorld article on a next-gen "tegra next" being announced soon by nvidia, may or may not be the tegra parker they've already talked about.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3097641/hardware/nvidias-next-generation-tegra-mobile-chip-is-on-its-way.html
Will be announced at the Hot Chips show in Cupertino august 21-23.
Timing and that they are actively cooling and ocing an x1 makes a ton of sense for this to be the chip in the NX.
Repost for new page, sorry if this has already been covered in the thread.
No, but the idea that Nintendo design their hardware to last is kinda laughable looking at the quality build of their last handhelds.

I am at work, so no time to go through 154 pages (wow), but I am assuming battery life has been discussed multiple times. That is my big question. What will the battery life be like.
But a handheld console with the (speculated) power of somewhere between the WiiU and XB1? Yeah, I am interested in that.
Laughable? Really? My Game & Watches, NES, SNES, Gameboy, N64, Gamecube, Wii and Nintendo made Snoopy handheld from mid-eighties all still work perfectly and wholeheartedly disagree with you. Picking out a minor flaw from one generation of launch-era hardware that was subsequently fixed with later revisions is not even close to laughable.No, but the idea that Nintendo design their hardware to last is kinda laughable looking at the quality build of their last handhelds.
That is key. I would assume, just basing it off smartphones, probably since 2010 on forward burn in hasnt been a major issue on higher quality phones.
Smartphones have used OLED alot since 2010 and burn in has gotten since then.

Well, for one it is extremely likely that the chip won't run close to its theoretical maximum frequency in portable mode.I am at work, so no time to go through 154 pages (wow), but I am assuming battery life has been discussed multiple times.

OLED is by far the best currently available screen technology for gaming. Calling it "worthless" is completely untrue."I want a worthless, expensive addition that degrades over time."
