Mark Cerny was hanging out with Miyamoto...

Time for Cerny to head back to the Nintendo Bathhouse.

So you'll be able to play, say, Super Mario on PS4?

 

[Black Republican]

Maybe the same way you can play a wii u or PS4 through the Xb1 output port?

If Nintendo truly means to release the NX in 2016 they need to start talking about the thing soon. As in next month soon. Otherwise info will leak one waya or another as more third parties get their hands on dev kits (if any, of course).

Nah, they'll let toxic rumours ruin it before announement.

 

[Sylverstone14]

After reading NX speculation/rumor threads over the last few months, I'm convinced that it will do EVERYTHING.

But I thought the PS3 only did everything!

 

[TalonJH]

I don't believe it but If I received PSN trophies from a Nintendo device my wife may leave me because I have no more time for her and I need my job to buy more games.

Edit: It says Rival PS4.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Maybe its a wifi router as well as a game console????

 

[Alex_Mexico]

E3 reveal for NX?

Too late if they intend to launch it in 2016. They need to announce it Q1 just like Sony did with the PS4. They can use E3 to further show the system and games but the announcement needs to happen very soon.

 

[Nightbird]

Just wait for E3,everything will be NX!

 

[foxbeldin]

Rival PS4. Not work with. Learn how to read

Hem. Work with rival consoles such as PS4 = work with PS4.

 

[catbrush]

Maybe NX will turn all of the world's electronics into a giant botnet?

 

[Milly Osworth]

NX is the codename for the vitality sensor.

 

[KingSnake]

So you'll be able to play, say, Super Mario on PS4?

In browser if you buy the dedicated Nintendo streaming device.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

 

[JoeM86]

No -_-

 

[DNAbro]

Do you say "My PS4 works with my PC" when you access PSN from the PC? Or "My Wii U works with my PC" because you can open Miiverse on it?

I can buy stuff from my PC or smartphone and it will download on my PS4. That is working with it.

 

[Lunar15]

I'm beginning to think it's some kind of weird cloud gaming thing. Like OnLive or something. You have to buy the special controller, but the games can be played anywhere. You can buy something to connect to the TV, but you can use anything???

I have no idea anymore.

 

[Jonboy]

English isn't his first language so information from him usually ends up confusing people.
The PS4 part could mean it could rival it with its power or run games on it.

That was my thought too, lol. As in, it could even rival PS4...not necessarily that it would run on it.

Hope I'm wrong though. I'm one of those who would love to see Nintendo focus solely on games and get out of hardware.

 

[KingSnake]

Wii U is also working with PC then, there's no need for NX to do that.

 

[Maroon Gamer]

That would be nice.

Come on N show us what you got.

 

[Sterok]

What does work with even mean? Crossplay online? Because the Wii U already does that with mobile, PC, and Vita, and will do so soon with the PS4.

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

itsfuckingnothing.jpg

Seriously, the NX gets mentioned and much of GAF just forgets how to think apparently.

 

[Stevey]

NX is just games, Nintendo going the same way SEGA did.

 

[JoeM86]

That was my thought too, lol. As in, it could even rival PS4...not necessarily that it would run on it.

Hope I'm wrong though. I'm one of those who would love to see Nintendo focus solely on games and get out of hardware.

Except we know 100% that this is new hardware

And no Nintendo hardware would mean they'd likely have to downsize meaning less varied software.

Do we really need to go through this again?

 

[foxbeldin]

Looks like today is NX weird rumors day.

 

[DNAbro]

Wii U is also working with PC then, there's no need for NX to do that.

so as I was saying it's completely non-news. People are too thirsty for NX info.

 

[KingSnake]

This patent might be relevant.

so as I was saying it's completely non-news. People are too thirsty for NX info.

I was just pointing out how non-sense is to use that interpretation. Nobody uses it like that.

That's how I read it.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

Lock this dumb ass thread. The site completely misreads the source it's quoting and so does nearly everyone in this thread

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

I'm on the side of probably nothing. Too ambiguous, and it referring to something as straightforward as crossplatform online is a pretty reasonable takeaway. Don't think it'll be a ton more than that.

Too late if they intend to launch it in 2016. They need to announce it Q1 just like Sony did with the PS4. They can use E3 to further show the system and games but the announcement needs to happen very soon.

They've definitely got to do an event of some sort in February or March. Then follow it up with an E3 showing with more games and further details, release times, etc. as you say.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Rival PS4. Not work with. Learn how to read

"Rival" can be used as a noun, verb, and adjective.

In the context of the report, it's obviously an adjective.

English is a funny thing.

 

[Alucrid]

This is possible in the following way:

NX will be the console and handheld hybrid we have been rumored, with a console under the TV and a Wii U-like controller that also functions as a handheld separate from the console. The console will have a HDMI in port, like on Xbox One.

There will be a feature to stream whatever goes into the HDMI in port to the handheld device, like Wii U off-TV play. This would allow you to get a PS4 or PC image (assuming your PC has HDMI out) to the handheld. There will also be a phone app to stream the image to your phone.

ok, but how does the nintendo handheld give input signals to the pc or ps4

 

[Peltz]

Mark Cerny was hanging out with Miyamoto...

I laughed way too hard at this.

#shrug
Journalism/tweet? Are we sure the reporting is accurate?

I've said from the beginning that Nintendo should do a powerful handheld with a pstv equivalent small box linked to a tv, so that they minimise both cost, maximize function and only have to develop for one platform.

But to say that they went full PSNow and made the whole service virtual is a bit of a stretch... Even a virtual social platform like Miiverse might be. And here there might be a translation/ reporting issue, don't you think?

 

[TurboButts]

Surprise! It's just an app

 

[Tregard]

[Somnid]

Well if it's anything like what I thought they should do, it's too invest a lot in the web platform which has no particular owner, that way you can own your own service and don't pay royalties to anyone. It's an easy cross device win and yet do to the (perhaps unfortunate) way people view web it doesn't actually impact your own devices.

 

[cireza]

NX is a website confirmed.

 

[KingSnake]

I'm talking about the source of the info in the tweet, you great reader.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's a dream. NX is a dream.

Dreamcast 2 confirmed

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Surprise! It's just an app

Nintendo to really go third party via an app.

The reactions would be the stuff of legends.

 

[thenewjeva]

At this point, I'm beginning to think the NX is Half Life 3.

No. NX is Frog Fractions 2.

Back to the topic, Perhaps the NX is a cloud-streaming service?

 

[Dicer]

NX is Skynet...

 

[Josh5890]

So we are having hourly NX threads now?

Spoiler

For the love of God give us something Nintendo!

 

[Shepard]

NX will be a service, like Netflix for games. Obviously.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

I'm talking about the source of the info in the tweet, you great reader.

The website in the OP is quoting the tweet as a source of info...

 

[FalsettoVibe]

This would be freaking amazing.

 

[STEaMkb]

It could just mean cross platform online or something, like how you can play certain games against pc players from your ps4

Or just have crossplatform play

Sounds plausible. There has been an increase of cross-platform multiplayer titles on PS4. Perhaps Sony and Nintendo see this as a mutually beneficial avenue. Not for strategic or exclusive content, but third-party games.
