hmm...portable Gamecube then.I'm imagining sitting on a train flailing around my arms because of motion controls.
Pls no, no pls.

We already have that sillyhmm...portable Gamecube then.
We also have a portable NES. "Just not official"We already have that silly
Just not official lol
What do you mean by as fast as the latest iphone?Sorry about my previous posts but the new handheld is more likely to pack 4 cores from mediatek than 2 k12 cores from amd. The thing is that new 3ds packs 4 arm11 cores, which for certain game to run (using 3 or 4 thread, such as xenoblade chronicle 3d), there must be four cores to simulate 3ds games properly. Unless amd somehow manage to lower the production cost, we will not get a new handheld as fast as the lastest iphone.
The new handheld might ditch cartridges.
This sounds about right, but I doubt the portable wouldn't have backwards compatibility. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that includes DS games too.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)
I'm pretty sure it is both eventually, as two separate, yet really close hardwares.Not sure if I'm the only one, but I think the NX is a 3DS replacement, not a Wii U one.
Unless they are making a Gamecube controller with a touchscreen on it, I don't think they accepted anything.Gamecube controllers shows Nintendo has accepted that). The trackwheel triggers would be nice (and would be a proper alternative to analog triggers), but Nintendo really needs to make sure that the name they pick makes it clear it is a different console (I believe there's a procedure called "focus groups" or something like that)
K12 can, according to amd, run at least as fast as a9, if not a10 or beyond in single core.Links/sauce/source?

No carts? I doubt it.

Why not, they does not supply any horsepower or speed.
It is possibly powered by zen. It is not clear which one will come first.Then that would mean the NX Portable will have to come out late 2017. The K12 won't be released to manufacturers until 2017. So a 2016 after E3 release wouldn't make sense if that's the microprocessor they're using.
Rumors from a reliable source say the portable will release first after E3 2016 and that the hardware will be nothing particularly mindblowingIt is possibly powered by zen. It is not clear which one will come first.
Four core zen is not that mind blowing compared to octal core Jaguar.Rumors from a reliable source say the portable will release first after E3 2016 and that the hardware will be nothing particularly mindblowing
That sounds like the ugliest piece of sh*t I've ever heard ofA Wii U Pro controller/N64 controller hybrid (think slightly wider, 3 pronged procontroller with an extra analog stick and trigger on the middle prong and 6 buttons where abxy are) with a N64 controller pak slot since often N64 VC is lacking due to a lack of controller accessory or converting N64 control schemes to 2 pronged controllers. The controller pak slot could also be used for original NX accessories.
That's the best joke I've read today.A Wii U Pro controller/N64 controller hybrid (think slightly wider, 3 pronged procontroller with an extra analog stick and trigger on the middle prong and 6 buttons where abxy are) with a N64 controller pak slot since often N64 VC is lacking due to a lack of controller accessory or converting N64 control schemes to 2 pronged controllers.

Does N64 controller with triggers accompanying L and R, an analog stick accompanying the Dpad and another analog stick accompanying the 6 face buttons sound better?That sounds like the ugliest piece of sh*t I've ever heard of
I never joke about the N64. N64, GB/C and GBA VC will always be disappointing untill Nintendo stops giving us these downgraded editions unlike with SNES and NES VC (except Duck Hunt but that's a TV ergo third party issue)That's the best joke I've read today.
Wahey, quoting myself!The talk from Nin slightly before/around the NX 'unveil' time was unified hardware - now there's reports of the NX being released next summer, and featuring a gamepad similar (but perhaps smaller) than the Wii U's... if this is the case, and this is of course pure speculation from me, it could even be an online subscription service like PlayStation Now, playing games in the same league as PS4/XO titles (PS4 games are apparently coming to PS Now remember), and theoretically could allow for not only 'NX only games', but also both Wii U and 3DS titles too... and playable not only on maybe a cheaper, almost streaming only version of the Wii U, but the actual Wii U and 3DS too.... throw in a couple of free Wii U and/or 3DS games every month ala Plus/Gold and bingo: no massive risky hardware launch... Wii U owners kept happy, etc.
--Not saying this WILL happen by any means , but you never know!
So it is some kind of hybrid though I highly doubt nintendo would bother with power8. 8-core power 8 has a total of 64 threads, which most 3a developers (I am taking about you, EA and activision) are not skilled enough to even use 4 or 5 threads, and again extra coding for a high end server chip that most people have not played with at all. Besides, power 8 is pricy compared to even intel xeon which amd clearly offers the better choice. There is also some indication that Nintendo might be behind Bleen.This is an interesting read: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/gaming/nintendo-nx-release-date-news-and-rumors-1289401

Nintendo NX will have an Octocore CPU and will be thefirst(*cough*virtualboy*cough*) second virtual reality device, it is estemeated to sell as well as the original gameboy, mainly bought by stegosauruses and pterodactyls.
