NX fan concept art thread
- Thread starter gafneo
- Start date
Apparently this is based on drawings received from a very credible source.
The final name will be "Nintendonx", pronounced "Nin ten donks".
The very best!!
I'd buy it if Nintendo's version looked similar. People still make these concepts with round dpad buttons. The real world, the buttons would need to be arrow like. This would be odd to rotate.

Can't have this thread without these jewels:
I think this is okay. Basically, when docked it would feel much like a Wii.
If the dock charges the base unit and the controllers, that would be pretty convenient.
Yeah, pretty much a classic controller type switching system.

ooo I like that oneThat Gamespot guy pretty much guessed the actual Wii U look. We should get him in here.

That with a d-pad instead on the left would be nice imo. The thickness would actually encourage me for performance/battery life, it doesn't' need to be pencil thin.
way too fat, its brick from that pic, its going to be a tablet.
I like this, but if it were up to me the buttons wouldn't be so aysemetrical, and it wouldn't be glossy at all.
I'm expecting N3DS design cues, with rotatable buttons.
This would be nice with real sticks instead of the slider pad, or at least the option to buy controller addons with real sticks.
I agree. I would prefer better sticks, but for the concept I used n3ds assets.
Oh shit. Dreamcast was ahead of its time with online gaming and detachable screen controllers.
Chao Garden NX confirmed??
I had to use that feature to cheese Seaman, otherwise I would've run out of items and not been able to beat the game.

Probably just a peripheral.

Nice... but a little safe. Too much like a Wii U Gamepad, but less ergonomic.
Doesn't seem to have out-of-the-box multi though, which is probably fine.

All the rumors suggest this will be the safest thing imaginable from Nintendo. I am surprised the NX has gotten this much attention as it has. Everything I hear about it conceptually is very boring.

It's possible and hinted by many but between all the leaks/rumors this is the thing I'm the most curious about. How will they and why would they in the first place us detachable controllers...
I'm ok for Wii Remote like control compatibility but no need to attach them to the NX.
I always assumed/guessed:
- NX mix between Gamepad / 3DS portable console
- NX dock station for TV play with extra power in the dock (upscaling and maybe other things)
- Compatibility for multiplayer if NX on the dock (using Pro controller, Wii Remote...)
Then gameplay mechanics from NES to Wii U will be possible. Same for portable systems.
You can play anything Nintendo on it !
This said I find that the image I posted, even if probably not true, is very well done. But yeah I'd rather have something different.
From what Chû Totoro posted, I find this comparison pretty amusing:
We need to go deeper.
Honestly, though, it must be a joy to read these threads when you actually know what the NX is.
And not the controller being in a U shape and the console/handheld/hybrid being called Wii U U.
i don't believe that this is been 3D printed. To much work.

Yeah but Nintendo made many different versions of the system like always. They may have shared and try different things with devs. That's also why there's almost always contradictory things that leak.
So maybe not 3D printed, maybe yes + PS (my opinion) but matches many rumors like many things posted here. Now which rumor is true, which is not

But the picture shows Zelda. I don't think any 3th party dev also has zelda included in the devkit

I'll join the fun. (Sorry about the crap quality. I'm not used to this digital pen.)
Controllers will be profile Mario heads. Analog stick on nose. Hair is cushiony for comfy grip. Tongue is a trigger button similar to a gun trigger.
Both controllers will house the center screen/mobile unit. Tongues and teeth will lock all 3 components together.
Lol. I literally laughed out loud.

I'm not trying to say it's legit (quite the opposite actually). Like I said I saw this on Twitter and since it's pretty well done I posted it here (in the "fan concept art" thread).
I don't know what the NX looks like and if you read my posts you'll see that I'm not asking for detachable controllers
But like always I just want to see how it'll work. Then I'll know if I like it or not.

none of these mockups, and quite frankly the rumors as well, point to a viable portable system. who the he'll is going to use any of these monstrosities on a train in the US or even worse, Japan's packed trains.

Controllers of course not but regarding size of the screen it can be as big as an iPad mini.
I don't want something bigger even if some people are out there taking pictures with their "regular" iPads (smh).

so no buttons on a portable from Nintendo? I don't buy it.
this whole concept doesn't make any sense to me from a business or as a fun video game idea.

Yeah that's the issue for me too. No buttons seems too risky even if they want to chase after mobile gaming audience.
Nintendo is using mobile to gain new players on their dedicated gaming consoles so of course their apps will be playable on NX but for more complex games we need buttons (and not only when using detachable controllers else this means they think mobile gaming like experiences are their main point of sale).
Clearly iPad mini like size is max but with buttons of course and not detachable please (because this worries me regarding quality and what experiences will be made in majority). Even if I like jaxapollo's concept.
Looks allot of work to fool people. Doesn't even seems to be a nintendo like console.
1h of fun for a day work before it's discover it's fake.
Also dpad looks allot like the one from sony:
Even Nintendo would always make their own splitted dpad, don't think it's legal to copy this.
