Nintendo NX Is a Console/Mobile Hybrid, Has "Industry-Leading" Tech - Report

really interested to see what Nintendo is creating this time. I hope it will be successful.

So another weak POS system like the U? Sigh, nintendo you can count me out on this one...

Nintendo hasn't learned a thing. No one wants a hybrid. Core games don't want mobile garbage, and mobile gamers don't want a console.

I hope Nintendo takes over the gaming industry I'm tired of hearing about ps4 and xbox one and I hope it is better and I hope you can take it everywhere and I'll laugh if it has better specs than the ps4 put honestly with today's tech it shouldn't be hard

It would be nice if they made the console extremely powerful.

So you could either think of it as a Wii U with an even more expensive controller, or a more expensive DS with a home console dock. Whatever the case, I'm buying it. I'll be honest with you, I'll buy anything that has Zelda games.

EDIT: Whoops. I mean except the Philips CD-i.

This most likely means 1 year late ports to the NX is my guess. Black Ops 3 NX Port, I highly doubt Star Wars Battlefront is coming to NX as George Lucas doesn't like Nintendo consoles much and it's being handled by EA if I'm not mistaken as well as ports for other franchises that came out this year.

If enough additional content is added to the late ports, then I'll actually consider them but hopefully they don't try to sell them at full price with the same amount of content the other versions have had for a year like they did with some WiiU ports.

Hopefully I'm wrong and this means new titles however, no dev can push out a top level franchise in 1 year's time which makes me believe in the ports guess. Now maybe they can adapt their currently in development titles over but I don't expect any new titles if they are just now sending out the Dev Kits and it's supposed to release next year.

Don't want anything to do with mobile games on my home dedicated gaming system. I'm hoping this isn't going to become an ouya

@Chernnunos: Well technically gimmicks do sale consoles, take the Wii which sold tens of millions but didn't sale games.

The Nintendo NX sounds like a second Wii U except that the Gamepad part has an actual CPU, PPU and HDD. In addition to the docking base with it's own CPU, HDD etc. As long as Nintendo doesn't cheap out. If they make the NX hybrid technically powerful for 2016. Then it has a chance.

@Nintendo

Please don't make this new console gimmicky like the Wii U was

I would buy a new Nintendo console and put it next to my Xbox One

The last time Nintendo cared about power was Gamecube... I was a little skeptical about Nintendo NX but if its a powerhouse with good third party support... I know what console I'm getting next.

Well there's a rumour that guarantees Nintendo will sell even less Wii U over the holiday period.

Nintendo...listen to my advice:

Dont release the next console without an AAA Mario,Zelda or a Starfox game...or something new and real huge.

Dont fool youself by thinking that 3rd parties will do the job for you!

Hopefully Nintendo will get it's act together after a few more Seppuku.

I'd say dev kits now is still a more likely 2017 release, unless it's planning a tonne of shovelware.

I'll wait and see before deciding or getting too excited.

I've been a long time Nintendo supporter since day 1 and now that I'm an adult with a family, the Wii U has easily been the best Nintendo console possibly since the SNES. People crap on the gamepad but they don't know what they are talking about. That gamepad is easily the best thing about the Wii U and is a life saver some days. Off screen gaming? Able to play some games 2 players with each having their own screen? Plus the interaction offered by the gamepad for other games. I don't even know how much time my kids have spent playing Mario Maker. My only complain with the Wii U is just how little interest Nintendo seems about putting games out. Yes, they are putting out a bunch of games now but it just doesn't feel the same to me. It seems like handhelds get all the attention and the console business gets very little by comparison. Long story short, if the NX is more like a PS3/Vita combination, I will likely get it. The only real issue we've had with the gamepad has been that short range. Of course, if it doesn't sell we are back to square 1 with not even NIntendo bothering much to focus on game development and instead just dumping a token "main" title to appease the longtime fans.

I don't believe any of this. If it's true the system will cost $600.

nope.

i hope this time they keep the 3rd party developers happy this time.

Well, I believe it will be a New Wii U, mobile base that can be taken out or in conjunction, also Nintendo entering mobile industry, a company that never mix with others, suddenly doing that, maybe this is the only place their "mobile" games will work.

I really hope this gets them back on track. I want to believe again.

Console/Mobile hybrid. Ugh.
