A microSD slot like 3DS is all I'll need!It's weird how cartridges are basically their only option. Internal storage will be too expensive. They need to drive the cost down hard.

This would be great. I'm assuming they're scared of losing the physical market, though. Mainly, I'm just suggesting that the thing will probably have practically zero internal storageA microSD slot like 3DS is all I'll need!

I think they will have a hard time convincing third parties to develop for it (as always).
So to me, it again looks like they are finding another way to not compete with either market.
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.
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.
Does any article talk about posible more power coming thanks to dockstation?
Or it will be TV out only?
If they're actually recommending 32GB cartridges, even a 128GB microSD will fill up pretty fast.
If you are using a third party tablet or phone, I cant see how nintendo could utilize that processing power and incorporate it. Their own hardware? Sure? But somebody else's? It doesnt seem likely. The idea of using them as second screens in party environments ala you dont know jack is possible, but I would think the processing power would still be handled by the dock.
Your theory about how the skus could be packaged differently depends on either being able to use peocessing power from third parties, or putting all the processing power in the dock. From what we currently know, those dont seem likely. But selling a barebones handheld unit without the dock does seem likely to me. It gets the price down and the dock and controllers and cables can always be bought seperately.
To me this makes me feel like they'll need to have some kind of storage solution built into the dock station. Maybe not bundled with standard SKU, but a compartment for people to add in an HDD or higher capacity microSD card to store games they aren't playing or only plan to play at home.
That sounds pretty fantastic. Where's that from?
OLED is by far the best currently available screen technology for gaming. Calling it "worthless" is completely untrue.
.
TIL my SGS6 has a low quality Oled screen.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.
Are you living in 2008?
... it will get a shit load of Japanese exclusives just for the fact it's partly a portable. All those 3rd party 3ds games will still come.Really? Sony has good exclusives, Japanese games, indie games, and third party. Why it´s always either or? Third party games are essential for the success of consoles nowadays, unless there is a revolutionary device that can disrupts the market and i can´t see NX doing that. Nintendo should seek third parties like a moth to a flame. Also PS4 got way more Japanese support than the WiiU. Why discount PS4 getting Japanese support, when the PS4 is getting some of the biggest Japanese franchises?
Nintendo said since forever that the NX is not a hybrid device. So better expect the oficial reveal.
Eurogamer speculated in the Digital Foundry article that it could be X2.So I'm confused about something; maybe I just missed some info somewhere.
Why are people thinking it could be an X2? Didn't the Eurogamer article specifically say X1?
pls no bullying

In the Digital Foundary article accompanying the Eurogamer article they mentioned that a source had told them that the chip in the dev. Kit was activly cooled with an audioble fan noise. Since running a fan in a handheld is a big no no DF speculate that the X1 chip in the Dev Kit is an placeholder for the X2 chip Nvidia is on schedule to talk about next month at the Hot Chips conference.
A source said the DevKit run on a loudly cooled X1, which made people think that's it's OC and a standalone for a new chipset which wouldn't need to be actively cooled/overclocked.
Tegra X2 is gonna be on 16 nm node, which mean much less power consumption and better performance for lower costs, especially in the long run as the 20nm process get abandoned.
Also, the fact that the NX was postponed from december to march are also things that make people think that maybe the console was postponed to get in full production of the new process , the new Tegra will be unveiled at end August by Nvidia and will probably enter production shortly after.
Most likely, it-s not gonna be a straight X2 but something custom, but still on 16 nm for the decreased cost, increased performance and decreased consumption. I expect something slightly better than the Tegra X1 as a custom chip.
Doesn't the dock that connects to the tv scream "supplemental computing device?"
So why wouldn't that be able to provide more juice and allow NX games much more power on the tv?
Or am I misunderstanding some of this stuff?
Can someone clarify this for me: a lot of posters are saying that X1 in the NX dev kit is overclocked. Is this is simply an assumption based on the single source from eurogamer that stated that there is active cooling in the unit, or is it a separate source(s)?

Yeah, I meant lowered energy consumption for battery life and better performance. Not sure how I messed that up, lolYes.
DF specializes in gfx comparisons, not chip design and business strat analysis. If it is an x2, it will be be at Nvidia's behest. Using nx delay and 'fans in kits' as evidence is silly.
True, but I think it's being combined with previous rumors regarding the NX being able to easily handle ports from current gen. A normal X1 Tegra doesn't really seem like something that would pull that off. We also have it being said by people like Emily that it is on par with the Xbox 1.
It's different hardware. Wouldn't matter if it's downloadable or not, it would require porting.I hope they make WiiU Games downloadable, can't be bothered to buy a WiiU again for Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Since there is no second screen, BC is hard for both WiiU and 3DS.Regarding digital games on the 3DS, I assume they'll be playable on this new NX? I really hope so. I know there's no BC but it would be nice if these could be redownloaded or there's some kind of alternative.
Would be nice for the performance boost and lowered battery consumption with is pretty important on a portable. Would be weird to use cutting edge chips (hat haven't been officially revealed yet) but it would provably be worth it in the long run. How much more expensive do we imagine it would be, though?A source said the DevKit run on a loudly cooled X1, which made people think that's it's OC and a standalone for a new chipset which wouldn't need to be actively cooled/overclocked.

Wii U yes, but 3DS is low res enough that both of its screens could easily fit into one, like DS on Wii U. Not that I really think they'll go that option.Since there is no second screen, BC is hard for both WiiU and 3DS.

Nintendo wouldn't launch a handheld with active cooling. If they were using an X1 they'd downclock it to lower the heat. RE5 and MGRR's ports aren't indicative of the hardware when there are other ports that are better than the PS360 versions. Those two ports just aren't good ports.Most of Eurogamer article are assumptions.
The Tegra X1 already needs active cooling in Nvidia Shield and the RE5 and MGR ports are trash compared to what WiiU does. There are DF videos for it.
People in this thread is most of the time misinformed, taking as informed believing some rumours that Eurogamer compiled to spice up Summer.
