Pretty sure it will launch at 350. Simply because it sounds like they are going for another expensive gimmick (ala' 3d vision, tablet gaming) and not with a cheaper hook (better graphics, wiimote)

The DS alone was better than any Nintendo handheld period. Any hardcore or casual Ninty fan can tell you that so by default the DS line. Its not even up for debate.

Of course what one could dissect each game they enjoyed but the over all consensus is that the Original DS is the best Ninty handheld ever.

There are a few for me

SF 1-lV

SF ALpha 1-3

VS games (XMEN VS STREET FIGHTER, Marvel VS SF, TSKVS CAPCOM, MVC)

Capcom Fighting Jam (So underrated...)

Xmen CotA

Marvel Super Heroes (one of my favorites)

MK 1-Trilogy (stopped after that)

KOF Series

Guilty Gear Series

Samurai Showdown Series

Blaze Blue CS

Tekken 3

Tekken Tag ( the best Tekken game imo)

Dark Stalkers 3 (The best version and one of the best 2d fighters ever)

SSB series

Street Fighter EX PLUS 1 and 2 (3 was horrible)

SNK vs Capcom 1 and 2

Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct 2

Clay Fighters 1

Clay Fighters 2

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament SNES version

Skull Girls (though I want to get more into it)

Virtual Fighter 1-4 (I actually did not enjoy VF 5)

Soul Calibur 1-3 ( think SC games after 3 were not that great and got too over the top)

Probably forgetting a few, but I greatly enjoyed and poured countless hours into all of these games (yes even Clay fighters)

*Edit* Forgot about Powerstone 2 (much better in every way than PS-1)

@onesiphorus:

Ok, then the Wii still proves that theory wrong.

The Wii and both 3D's prove your point invalid.

@gfxpipeline: Gotta agree with his thoughts as well, trying a bit too hard... When there is clear evidence that ps4 next year has an insane line up. I really don't think SONY VR will come to ps4 and will become a ps5 thing or as you pointed out, a ps4.5 upgrade, especially if N-NX does very well (obviously some strong if's in that last sentence)

But I feel like ps4 really picked up a lot of gaming steam this year, and next year they are coming out with some incredibly heavy hitter EAAA titles.

Great list by the team but I really do think that Super Metroid is the greatest SNES game of all time and DKC2 is the best platformer on the console as well (better than any of the Mario Games)

*edit* Yoshi's Island does not deserve to be on that list imo. Game is very outdated.

Very exciting, I can't wait for them to officially announce TP:HD. Twilight is one of my favorite Zelda games ever and if they make subtle improvements like they did with WW, then I would be very happy.

-Updated graphics is a must
-Having to collect less tears during the tears quest
-HARDER BOSSES (like they did in Majoras Mask)
-Updated puzzles, big problem with TP was that some dungeons had some great puzzles while others had some really poor ones (Temple of Light...)
-Which brings me to updated dungeons, especially Temple of Light/Time. The subtle changes to dungeons that they did in MM were amazing.
-Update the Music, the infamous reason why it got the 8.8 treatment.
-More side quests with a purpose.

Any combination of these changes are welcome in my book.

Its all but confirmed that Zelda is an NX title, whether it is a launch title we will have to see (which I highly doubt.) Starfox NX is likely, Starfox was actually almost completed, the fact they pushed it back for "improvements," is a good sign that they might take it to the NX but one can never know.

Ok there are way too many of the same threads about NX. Its becoming sort of confusing. Can we please stop making new threads of the same information? (this is not directed at you Char but at one point there were 3 of the exact same thread)

As for the topic at hand. I think people should get a grip a bit and lower there expectations. This is coming from a huge Nintendo fan-- with that said, expect the unexpected, I seriously doubt that the NX will just be some "hybrid" console with stronger specs. Its Nintendo, they have something else up their sleeves.

It is refreshing to finally get some information on the console though.
