I just noticed it has the Wii controller port as well.
So yeah. My guess is this picture is 100% real. Maybe not even the dev kit but the actual console itself. Ot at least a prototype version of it.

Yes, and rightfully so, if it doesn't match current gen specs. Especially when they have it advertised as a "home console."

I would be okay if it were one minute as long as I can see what the fucking thing looks like and a logo revealing the name. That's all I need right now. I'm just ready to see it and know what it is.
All I'm saying is-- we know. The specs are out. We know Nintendo isn't about being the best on the block when it comes to hardware power. I don't really get the whole acting surprised and sudden disappointment when it's written in stone already.
Reverse image search reveals nothing. Could be photoshopped or legit.
I imagine with a launch in March, they have games ready to showcase. Whether they choose to showcase them is anyone's guess, but this isn't like the WiiU's reveal in 2011 or the GameCube's in 2000. It's hardly even like the early Wii reveal. The NX launch is so imminent there must be games in their final, final stages of development outside of Zelda.
watch it be named Wii U +
Ditching the Wii brand.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Don't forget there might be more info next week. But the fact that they are willing to talk about the NX to the public is a huge step even if it is only 3 minutes.
I always thought it was short for "Next".
The WiiU's reveal had a similar length:

I just hope they focus on a single game instead of tech demo shit. Like, reveal this with Super Mario Universe and every-fucking-body will be soiling their pants.

Same. But, it won't be called Nintendo Next or anything like that. NX is just a codename. The abbreviation could somehow be a part of the final name, but that's not gonna be the name of it straight-up.
I think I'm going to spend the Next hour or two with some earbuds and the Mario Galaxy(s) soundtrack(s).

Posting possible NX dev kit for new page:
Just got off of work. Has anyone analyzed this yet?
-what are the circled areas on the left pic?
-the items circled on the right ones are power and volume buttons, right?
-it's the same shaped power input as the Wii U, right?
-I really dig the game cart slot. It's larger than a 3DS slot.
-funny that we have a nunchuck/classic controller port on this thing. It's the same as the new NES pads for the NES mini, yes?
-the only thing I call bullshit on is that LAN port. The last 2 Nintendo systems were Wifi only. Did their devkits have LAN ports as well?
-and what's the two shiny things at the end? They look like Coax numbs...
Nintendo's home consoles haven't matched "current gen" specs since the GameCube. It would be a very weird thing to get upset about.

I know the rumors point to there not being a "traditional" console base, but I'm still holding out hope for one. Call me... well, traditional?
Yep. Whenever I try to sleep whether it be for a job or something and I need to be up early but just can't do it, I tend to have some funky shit happen when I do try.

I'm going to buy all the dongles for this.
Not sure about the lan port, but the coax style ports are very standard on dev kits apparently... Wii U kit had them too. There was a lot of talk about it earlier in the thread. Can't remember about the circle area though.

The circled areas are just to show that both "screens" are maybe the same device, and that maybe the device laying down is attached to the dock.
Dev kits will always have LAN ports. It's far more reliable.

I'm so excited. 
It's not a 'traditional' home console but it is a handheld and a home console. Like Jeff Gerstmann said, difference between this and a PSP with TV out is the NX is specifically made practical and neat to play on the TV, it's made to be played both ways, so there's no real factor that should make people interested in a home console experience dissatisfied. Except that it has to adjust for power on the go, of course. But the experience of playing itself should satisfy both camps.

Devkits are larger and usually have stuff retail units don't. Retail unit probably wouldn't have the coax or ethernet ports.
Based on what they've done before and how new things are shown in general in a trailer, it will be a commercial for the system. A sizzle reel. OR as you call it, tech demo shit.

Red circled areas = volume / power buttons
Blue circled area = speaker (there's another one in the same place to the right as well)

According to the ones who talked about it, that is what's on our plate for tomorrow as far as the video goes. Then a few more official announcements on games tomorrow as well. At least three, supposedly.

I can't believe we are about to see hardware and maybe a glimpse of software for a new Nintendo console, all within 180 seconds.
What.
That still feels unheard of for Nintendo for some reason.
