More rumours from the woman who knows people:

"We have recently learned through a source at Nintendo connected to the organisation of an upcoming hands on press event that the Nintendo Switch Dock does increase the performance of the handheld, but not due to any additional processing in the dock.

When the system is connected to the dock by USB-C, the system’s components will run at a higher clock speed to facilitate 1080p resolutions on the TV. Both video and power will be transfered over USB-C when docked. Plugging the system into the dock will also activate a small additional fan to help with cooling when run at that higher clock speed. This fan is in the rear of the dock, and there is a gap in the back of the dock to allow the system’s inbuilt fans to vent when docked.

The dock is incredibly light weight and, while it does play a part in increasing system performance on the TV, it is designed to be cheap to produce. The intention is that some time after launch additional docks will be sold to place in differing rooms if you have multiple TVs.

Nintendo’s January 13th 2017 reveal events will feature near retail level hardware. Each title will be locked to playing one game demo, but press will be free to take the systems to a separate area of the event to play on sofas rather than the TV. When returning to TVs, they will not be required to return the system to the same dock it started at.

The event will be held in a large number of small sessions, each with a minimal number of press in attendance to ensure hardware is kept track of. UK Press are required to RSVP for the event by 11:59PM December 8th 2016. The location of the reveal event has not been made known to press. Let’s Play Video Games were not amongst the outlets invited to this event. They did not respond to our request for an invite to the event when we learned invites had been sent out."

Interesting. But there's more...

"Many have been wondering since the reveal of third party Nintendo Switch development partners what From Software have in the works for the system. Well, we’ve got sources telling us a little of that info.

According to one of our sources, From Software has Dark Souls 3 running on the Nintendo Switch with a level of performance they are happy with. They have not committed to releasing it yet, but discussions internally at the company have discussed the financial viability of re releasing the main three Dark Souls titles on the Switch with their DLC bundled in.

Development on a Switch port has been underway for several months via a small team, with From Software waiting to see initial sales data before committing to producing ports. The plan would be for a Switch rerelease of Dark Souls 3 if greenlit to release the same day as PS4, Xbox One and PC receive versions with all DLC included.

So, how would you feel about handheld Dark Souls?"

Well?

@Basinboy: The Joycons clearly slid off and on... That's a damn good 3D print if that's all it is

He took the livestream down but someone snagged the footage

This is very intriguing. If it's a 3D print... It's a very good one. If it's real, those Nintendo Ninjas are coming for his ass!

That has to be the most boring console reveal I've never seen!

This could be complete and utter coincidence, but too many things line up EXACTLY with what this guy said back in May 17th.

NX is a hybrid

- removable screen

- you can customize the controls

- the chip is named Tegra N1 (possibly Nintendo's NVidia custom SoC) and it is more powerful than X1

- the price of screen is U$ 100 or 200 depending on the size/resolution

- controls cost U$ 50 each.

- will facilitate eGPU's

The above link needs google translated and it's not the best to be honest, but someone else has translated it better. Some key points can be extracted from his OP and subsequent posts following the Eurogamer article. I don't know what to make of it, maybe it's BS but i thought it was topic worthy.

"I participate in a japanese forum group that releases Dragon Ball Super spoilers, but the Brasilians in Japan just released something about the Nintendo NX that, if true, may interest a lot of people.

As a matter of fact, the console will be a hybrid! What a special thing! The LCD screen can be deallocated from the console kind of like a Tranformer LOL for real. *The console is a small and thin box with connections to the portable LCD, battery, extension, those that fit with phones with a case, it's possible even to personalize the controls*NOTE from names:this sentence makes no sense.

A hybrid that will be just like a Transformer. I am sharing it here because no one commented on this.

Unfortunately I don't have a photo but this is the style of how it looks: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...P6wbb4vvjzHNVh

But everything is in a box with connextions that are well organized and easy to plug in.

Soon details about this rumour will be released. I am just letting you all know early. The chip used is a Tegra N1, more powerful than Nvidia's X1.

The purposed price will be of $300, the LCD will be sold for $100-200 depending on the size and resolution. The controllers will be extra to assemble on it in a portable form for $50.

It will support cartridges to give it more functionalities of future connections and consume less energy, making the storage capacity higher..

Or if you buy the console with less memory, this will be expanded by the cartridge itself according to the game, just like old days with the same style as games with Chip FX on the SNES.

It is something quite new really... That's why Microsoft would be talking about console upgrades, not of GPU and CPU but of accessories.

I got really happy with this rumour and hope that you like it. And source(s)? You will see in 2 months when it is authorized for the info to be released. Unfortunately I can't confirm the rumour due to it being obtained in a non legal way"

Then, after the Eurogamer article hit, he posted some more info which i will summarise:

He acknowledges their article saying he still knows more than what they leaked. Reconfirming that the successor to the Tegra X1 will be used as the GPU so maybe he was initially referring to the X2. According to his source it will be modular external GPU's. ie. graphical capabilities can be increased through the dock - this works like a cartridge module increasing the graphical capacity. He goes on to explain the concept saying the basic console (in handheld form) will run in 720p, 30fps. Then when docking for playing on the TV using the expansion module will play at PS4 level capabilities, with likely future models for 4K TV's speculated for future upgrades. He also says that Microsoft are aware of this and are looking at this concept of modular expansion for Scorpio.

He then goes on to explain about the mobile integration, he uses pokemon in his example but basically saying that they will use mobile to entice casuals back, by using mobile and apps as a kind of streetpass accessory drawing the user to NX - where mobile app data for games can be exchanged between users then transferred back to the portable for a more competitive gaming experience. AR, NFC & amiibo will also be a focus using mobile to leverage the functionalities of NX, enhancing different gameplay scenarios through AR.

Thoughts?

@silversix_: You're telling me that Mario Kart 8 could look and run better on XBox360? Pfft!

Also, Bayonetta 2 on Wii U versus Bayonetta 1 on the 360 is a perfect example of such nonsense you speak.

Thread updated, if anyone has any more questions i'll try to get them answered via PM and post them here.

I read this Stimpak_vendor dude thread before i came across the other dude Desmotor which i previously made a thread about.

First of all he repeatedly calls it DDR5, which is non existent!

Then he draws a picture of the controller, apologising for his crappy art skills...he's says he's a fucking art designer!!!

"Excuse my absolutely terrible MS Paint skills."

Pfft!

And a 1080p screen for the controller for what exactly? Minigames? Customisable touch interface? Gimme a break! He's full of shit.
