What NEEDS to be shown, in order:

1. System AND controller, don't forget that Wii U left a lot of people confused;

2. The official name, explaining why they went with that name/concept;

3. At least one new game (can be just a teaser), and use Zelda only to show how much more powerful NX is when compared to Wii U, "on the new system we can blablabla";

4. Date for the full reveal, don't leave fans in the dark from now on, keep the hype going;

5. A release month, is it still on track for March 2017? It'd be a great way to end the trailer for multiple reasons.

Do you think they could still get away with calling it the "Nintendo NX" or is that an incredibly stupid thing to say

Kind of attached to the name, heh

  • Custom Nvidia GPU chip
  • Region Free (No region lock)
  • Six inch (6.2 inch?) multi-touch screen (Heard nothing about a stylus)
  • The touchscreen has 720p resolution.
  • 32GB of built-in internal storage
  • SD card support
  • Supports USB 2.0 and 3.0
  • The dock has two 2.0 usb ports and one 3.0 usb port.
  • The portable device is around 14 – 15 mm in thickness.
  • The right analogue stick (or circle pad?) will be below the face buttons.
  • Camera and microphone are not built into/inside the NX portable device.
  • Cooling is still a little noisy
  • Detachable controllers (motion controls and next-gen vibration technology) <– Everything Laura Kate Dale said in her article was correct.
  • Share / Social button that Laura Kate Dale posted is true.
  • There are *at least* two shoulder buttons.
  • Battery Life — Ehhh not great. I haven’t heard an exact number of hours, but it doesn’t sound great.
  • Below PS4 and XB1 in raw power.
  • Supports Unreal Engine 4 and Unity Engine.

Was there any info on whether the dock added cpu power/effects/resolution? or is it just upscaled?

Here we go. I can not wait to see what it is. I know it is a teaser, I just hope we get enough details to momentarily quench the thirst.

The worst part of this announcement is the fact that I am not at home to watch the trailer live and - more importantly - see how GAF either melts down or ascends to the high heavens.

At least three devs are waiting for tomorrow's NX name reveal to announce NX software.

Eurogamer and Emily Rogers info is rock solid. Trust them on NX info too. They know what they're talking about.

One of them is probably Atlus and the games are Etrian Odyssey 6, Etrian Odyssey 3 Untold, Etrian Odyssey 1 Untold Untold.

It's a huge miss if the battery life isn't great. One of the few areas a gaming handheld can hope to compete with the phone already in your pocket is by having vastly better battery life for gaming.

If my (non-explosive) Samsung Galaxy Note and the NX give me the same number of hours of gaming before their batteries go dead, the NX is a less attractive option since I have to have the phone on me.

Nah. For one, people don't want to run down their phone battery for games. So even if has worse battery life than a phone, it would still mean you wouldn't have to touch your phone battery. Plus if Nintendo is smart they will let you charge your phone off the NX. They would be a bonus feature.

That being said, I don't think Nintendo is going to compete directly with phones so I don't think the NX is going to be as pocketable as a phone or as even a 3ds. I think it's going to be a tweener or portable console. I think they are going to try to fit into a slightly different space in the market or create a market for that space.

I'm enjoying the details from Laura. Interesting enough to get me more excited about the reveal, vague enough to not spoil anything. The BGE2 thing not as much, but to be fair Geno started that one.
