I believe that the "Nintendo Cross/Hybrid" rumors went hand in hand as soon as the NX was announced, but yes, that still seems like the most likely rumor todayProbably has been brought up somewhere before but i saw a cat xing sign and i thought
The Nintendo Cross? THE NX
Animal X-ing
Project X Zone
Cross play on multiple platforms?
χ-blade (ki blade)
Is crossplay consider hybrid to some people, is it not considered a hybrid to others?
Pokemon coming out in 2016, is the controller/handheld portion going to release first (if seperate)?
The beauty of MyNintendo is that by its digital nature basically anything can be merged into it. The fact that they have recognized that Google+, Twitter, and Facebook actually exist and can be used as login methods has shown that they actually FINALLY have someone competent (DeNA) in charge of their online infrastructure. Again, I have high hopes for the NX because of recent shifts in company make-up. It's looking like it COULD be what the Wii U WANTED to be, but never was due to very stupid missteps early on in its lifespannintendo made 4.5 billion dollars.
Sony made 4.5 billion on psn plus alone.
If nintendo does a premium program it wont reach 4.5bil. It would also be a disaster for nintendo too if team 'anonymous' decides "lets whoop that network ass". Too late in the game to decide now to add it in for the NX if they didnt come up with a plan already.
I hope to see Star Fox 0 remade on the NX with fixed controls and better graphics. Will that happen? Possibly, but might have to wait a few years.
Can't wait to see if anything comes out of it!Investor meeting is today!
While I think it's possible, I don't think it's LIKELY that a controller would double as a headset, because it doesn't seem like a very good business model to make people buy two of the exact same thing to be used in completely different ways just to be able to play a gamethe reason for a free-form Handheld?...........
IT'LL DOUBLE NOT ONLY AS A HANDHELD BUT THEYLL SELL AN ACCESSORY THAT CAME MAKE IT DOUBLE AS VR!!!
(my own conclusions after seeing a htc vive and the patent for the handheld)
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
the rumored sized is about the size of the eye area of someones face, and the curved form factor makes all the sense in the world. clear buttons, add in its own processor and BAM, VR!
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
This controller patent also makes logical sense if the handheld/controller could also triple as a VR headset

Yeah, but a phone doesn't usually have dedicated controller buttons integrated into itits almost like using a phone as mobile vr tho, very possible
its rumored to have funky clear buttons tho
