Support NeoGAF

[BronsonLee]

Oculus?

Or Samsung coming to the party? Maybe Amazon?

 

[Exterminieren]

It would be pretty surprising if RAD was one of the first developers they talked to.

Either they've talked to far more devs about the NX and what it entails than we suspect, they've radically changed their third party priorities, or it's something else.

 

[Alienous]

No way they could slip up so hard and basically announce a new console by accident. Right...?

My guess is bad paraphrasing.

Spoiler

PS5yall

It wouldn't be a slip, so much. They don't reveal any details, so that wouldn't be a problem. They are just saying they are prepared for the future, even for consoles currently unannounced (it would seem). It's an assertion of confidence.

 

[mclem]

"Apparently Sony have this new Vita handheld thing? Sounds like it's going to be fantastic"

 

[blastprocessor]

Amiga of course

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Iwata was lying, it´s the NX AUSTIN.

 

[pizzacat]

The virtual boy leak was true

 

[KingSnake]

Well. as NX uses Android, they could start already working on the port, using the OUYA.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Maybe we will see this new Platform at E3?


I still think Amazon has something up their Sleeve

 

[Trago]

I doubt it's the NX as well, but given that they are working on two new IP's, maybe one of them is in the early stages of development and Nintendo could he talking to some developers early.

 

[Alienous]

There is a similar statement in the Game Informer interview.

At the same time, we have worked very hard to make sure that our engine and technology suite is multiplatform. What we did on the PS4 for The Order: 1886, we can also do today on Xbox One, PC, and on an additional unannounced platform.

New unannounced console is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I don't see any other way to interpret it, and if they are making their engine multiplatform then it implies they have some specifications.

Surprise E3 announcement?

 

[-Horizon-]

Sega is back in the race!

 

[TheMoon]

This seems like a very obvious case of "WE can't announce which platform it is" and not a "the platform itself hasn't been announced"

not sure why there's even speculation ...

 

[vypek]

Well. as NX uses Android, they could start already working on the port, using the OUYA.

Didn't Nintendo already outright deny this?

 

[KingSnake]

On the other hand, maybe we interpreted "Vita will be a legacy system" the wrong way.

Didn't Nintendo already outright deny this?

No, they denied that they have plans of using Android, which is of course false if they are already using it.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

We are finally getting the Vita successor

 

[spons]

It's happening, isn't it?

We'll find out soon (Apple conference).

 

[thehypocrite]

The Pippin is back.

 

[Lunar15]

Weird phrasing. I'm going to guess that it's one of the VR systems we've already heard about, or simply PC or something.

 

[KennyLinder]

Apple.

 

[Scrawnton]

Apple.

Omg. I would buy a traditional Apple console on day one.

 

[Nzyme32]

Didn't Nintendo already outright deny this?

They similarly denied things like one of the DS models which was announced soon after the denial

 

[-Horizon-]

Weird phrasing. I'm going to guess that it's one of the VR systems we've already heard about, or simply PC or something.

They already mentioned PC in that statement...

 

[Alienous]

This seems like a very obvious case of "WE can't announce which platform it is" and not a "the platform itself hasn't been announced"

not sure why there's even speculation ...

What's the difference?

Why wouldn't they be able to announce their support for a currently existing platform if they have done so for PC and Xbox One already?

Methinks Apple is entering the console market. That or Amazon.

Ah, I see.

 

[Barzul]

What Amazon thing is everyone referring to?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Apple.

ITS ME AUSTIN IT WAS ME,TIM COOK ALL ALONG

 

[Graphics Horse]

It's an 'unannounced platform' that we will "find out about soon". Which would mean that it's a platform we don't know about currently, and thus their coy.

Yeah I was thinking it just meant they had a secret project for whatever existing system, but I was forgetting the context of them having an almost Sony-only history.

 

[TheMoon]

What's the difference?

Why wouldn't they be able to announce their support for a currently existing platform if they have done so for PC and Xbox One already?

Because they might not have finalized whatever licensing agreement they need for it.

 

[Guymelef]

Can't wait.

 

[-Horizon-]

What Amazon thing is everyone referring to?

Amazon has been gathering a lot of game development studios lately and people think its only a matter of time before they jump into the console space as well.
Though they did announce they were going to focus on PC game development so idk.

 

[Rising_Hei]

Amazon's console or a new Nintendo portable

 

[Alienous]

Because they might not have finalized whatever licensing agreement they need for it.

But it could only be Wii U if not something unannounced.

What else is there? The Nvidia Shield console is the only other thing I can think of, but that is announced so that conflicts with what I think is being said.

 

[lukeskymac]

It's happening, isn't it?

We'll find out soon (Apple conference).

I mean, I'd really really like for Apple to enter the core gaming business - they have a computer well suited for everything but gaming (even with Boot Camp), in part because Steve didn't like games. But if it's the new Apple TV, and it's still a box, then it'll have essentially iPad hardware and be geared towards the "casual"/mobile market (which makes more sense). It's hard to think of such Apple TV being mentioned in the same sentence as the Xbox One or the PS4.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Can't wait.

Dat cinematic experience..

 

[KingSnake]

What if Amazon is also preparing a VR HMD? That would be a new unannounced platform and explain the large number of PC games that they want to develop.

 

[Tempy]

Maybe they just mean they're making games for other existing systems (WiiU, Vita, mobile), but can't confirm that yet.

 

[TheMoon]

But it could only be Wii U if not something unannounced.

What else is there? The Nvidia Shield console is the only other thing I can think of, but that is announced so that conflicts with what I think is being said.

Amazon Fire TV or one of these other boxes. Steam Machine maybe (since that's a special thing and doesn't just fall under PC automatically).

 

[Symphonia]

I'm putting this down to poor wording. I think they meant to say it was unconfirmed in development for another system we know about. More than likely Wii U.

 

[PSOreo]

Big fan of Apple but there is no way it's going to be AppleTv or unannounced hardware from them. They're just now getting ready to ship the Watch in stores so I doubt they'd be announcing another new platform. WWDC is all developer focused on iOS and OSX; they aren't gamers or game developers.

 

[jmga]

Valve's own Steam Machine with a great price to help push the market.

 

[Alienous]

Amazon Fire TV or one of these other boxes. Steam Machine maybe (since that's a special thing and doesn't just fall under PC automatically).

I'm thinking it's probably an Amazon Fire TV 2.

Apple haven't even released their Watch yet, so an announcement from them seems unlikely.

 

[Shion]

9/9/2019

 

[maquiladora]

NX

 

[DToneli]

Honestly, NX or iGame by Apple, I can't see Amazon with its own console in a near future.

 

[Nzyme32]

Valve's own Steam Machine with a great price to help push the market.

Unlikely, they are PCs afterall

 

[Theonik]

Maybe they just mean they're making games for other existing systems (WiiU, Vita, mobile), but can't confirm that yet.

Could even be a secret morpheus but Sony is publishing and they want to hold it as an E3 surprise.

 

[MisterR]

So this is either notably big news, or very poor phrasing.

What do you all think?

Sounds like NX.

 

[Tempy]

But it could only be Wii U if not something unannounced.

What else is there? The Nvidia Shield console is the only other thing I can think of, but that is announced so that conflicts with what I think is being said.

It mentions platform and not specifically console. Frankly I think it's Morpheus.
