oh god no! but this could be true!Cant be assed to read this whole thread, but I had a horrible thought in the shower this morning. (no jokes, children).
What if nintendo is going the route of some like the Sega CD or Sega 32X? Like Nintendo making something that attaches to the Wiiu and makes it more powerful or something. Again, baseless and speculatory, but scary. I really dont see them going this way, but just something I thought of.
They're not going to make a Wii U adapter. That's fucking stupid.oh god no! but this could be true!
the gamecube adapter, the 3ds amiibo adapter,... now what?
What's a game?Question: Will it be able to play games?
With the news that AMD will be mostly in charge of designing the console, I think that we can breath a little easierCant be assed to read this whole thread, but I had a horrible thought in the shower this morning. (no jokes, children).

Of course not, NX stands for Nintendo eXterminator. is a mecha made for the sole purpose of destroy Sony and Microsoft.Question: Will it be able to play games?
Nintendo NinXtendo.Nintendo NX = Nintendo Nintendo 10
NX will be chaeaper than Wii U because it doesn't have a gamepad but it will still support the gamepad and other wireless controllers on a per game basis and Wii U titles all sold seperately. It's main controller will be an upgraded version of the procontroller.
It will be a third pillar strategy like the DS where it's success will determine how quickly the Wii U is phased out. They can continue making Wii U games since it has an install base and many titles Nintendo publishes will not require the extra horsepower on the NX....these titles will be playable on Wii U or NX. Advanced games that can not run on Wii U will be NX exclusives.
It will be easy to port mulitplatform titles to and have as much power as PS4 and xbone.
Nintoaster 2?The nx will not actually be a traditional system. It will actually be a smart toaster that plays games that accept different inputs based on what kind f bread you put into it.
Edit: whoops thought I was in EOF
Arm v7 (like vita's quad a9, raspberry pi 2's quad a7)/v8(like apple a9/ tegra x1/ snapdragon 820) cores can execute arm V6 instruction natively like arm11 of 3ds, which make 3ds and ds games easily executed without too much coding. Nintendo really should wait till early 2017 for k12(low max clock which require less money and easier cooling), which out-speed any known arm v8 core by a large margin, and gain the ability to run wii/ wii u graphic code natively. And developing games on different gpu is not that hard considering many modern game design tools can develop across different cpu instructions (arm, x86, now dead powerpc).Oh, thanks for bringing me back to this thread, as there's another new rumor that recently popped up; the NX "portable" is going to be launched in 2016 after E3, but the Wii U will not be replaced until 2017. Until then, there may only be a refresh, if anything, but it will have at least one more major update to make it compatible with the NX OS (not necessarily replace the current OS, though). On top of that, the portable may or may not be backwards compatible with 3DS titles, depending on how drastic of a hardware difference it is (it will likely at least modestly outspec the Vita)
