Hmmm... I'm a Nintendo fan, and while I love new releases of their consoles, I was genuinely hoping for a 2017 release at the earliest. If this is true, the Wii U would only have a life span of four years (if I'm not mistaken), which is incredibly short. I own a Wii U, and while it isn't doing so great in terms of sales, I would feel snubbed if the NX is released next summer and Wii U will become completely obsolete so quickly.
Ninty sucks anyway.I was genuinely hoping for a 2017 release at the earliest
Nintendo won't say.So what exactly is the NX? Is it a home console or a hand-held?
At the very least, it's a replacement for Wii U. At the very most, it's possibly a replacement for both (as hinted by the top answer on that page, with Iwata referring to both the 3DS and Wii U with his answer.).So what exactly is the NX? Is it a home console or a hand-held?
Didn't they say its both? Console will be released next year and the handheld will be released at a later date.Nintendo won't say.
Whatever they do ... they better attract 3rd party developers.
or else they are going fail miserably.
I can see this, if they outsource their parts and use mass-produced stuff rather than custom chips. I'm starting to get to be interested in NX, I'll have to keep my eyes and ears open on anything about this.A cheaper console would be a step in the right direction... but stronger than the Wii U but cheaper than a 3DS? I don't think so. :salt:
The WiiU is a failure. It's a silly-designed (gamepad), underpowered, poorly executed console, with close to zero 3rd party support.If this is true, the Wii U would only have a life span of four years (if I'm not mistaken), which is incredibly short.
That is why I have been repeatedly saying that the next news on NX will not be announced during 2015 but will be announced in 2016.
Something tells me that k12(which mobile gpu is backward compatible with wii u's, but k12 core are pretty expansive, though 3 low-powered can handle things really well) might be the thing, or maybe the next tegra, both support arm v6, so it can run 3ds very well, and both are far more powerful in graphics. According to nintendo's claim, it might be tegra since it is unlikely to support wii u titles.I can see this, if they outsource their parts and use mass-produced stuff rather than custom chips. I'm starting to get to be interested in NX, I'll have to keep my eyes and ears open on anything about this.
That doesn't mean they were referring to the NX.http://wiiudaily.com/2015/06/reggie-nx-home-console/
"We’ve also said publicly that we are already hard at work on our next home console and that’s another element we’ll be talking about much later."
