The Sega Saturn -> Dreamcast transition effect.
I see it happening again.
Saturn owners were sure annoyed for being cut out of support so early in the console life. And Sega went out of the console market after that.
The only difference is that at the time the Dreamcast was a very good totally up to date console.
In the other hand the NX may not even be able to compete with the (by 2016) 3 years old PS4... It doesn't look good.
There is still no proof that whatever the NX is will be a direct followup to the WiiU.

Dear Nintendo,
I want a NX class starship. K-thx-bai!
How much gold-pressed latinum do you have on you?
You poor soul, you bought a console that has about 9-10 (16 in total with multiplats) games worth playing.
Not a wise decision.
Who said anything about platinum? This is gold-pressed latinum. I mean, the gold is pretty worthless, but it works well to encapsulate the latinum.Sadly platinum isn't available
Hasn't Nintendo understood that if the console isn't on par with the others they won't get ANY third party support? Wasn't the Wii enough as a lesson? They had to fail on that with the WiiU as well, and now they're doing three in a row? Just... wat.

Lmao. I'm mobile right now. I just spotted the auto correct of latinum
Silly Google!
Watching the WiiU just shovel itself into the floor was pretty funny/sad. A repeat would just be sad.
And the nintendo fanboys eating up a second helping would be tragic.
Maybe Nintendo simply doesn't care. I keep saying that if Nintendo is going to go in this route then they need to line up some third party teams that are OK with this direction and solely rely on them. Mobile and Indy devs tend to not have a lot of power to work with. They could try to partner with those companies. It's OK to have a low powered system but Nintendo needs to make it known to the Gaming public that this is their route and to not expect more. There needs to be entry level consoles and I believe Nintendo and I guess NVidia could be those for people. I was hoping for a Nintendo/OUYA war but OUYA never steped up. Maybe NVidia could give it a shot.

Well another issue is releasing it in an awkward time between console generations which will kill the NX.
Assuming it's a console - Maybe I'm being unrealistically optimistic, but is it possible the tweet could mean that Nintendo is going to get back in touch with reality and release hardware that won't compete with PS4 because it blows the PS4 out of the water? Who says Nintendo has to be the underdog in the competition?
Disappointing, though. As a 34 year old, I have fond memories of Nintendo and wish so much that they would do well. But they are determined to mess up everything .... constantly.

One thing that i'm hoping is that they release a premium version of the NX, more storage, better battery and nicer design for the handheld such as OLED/IPS over LED and aluminium build.
Assuming that they are going for a $150-200 price point then they could achieve this at $350-ish and I definitely see fans opting for the premium model and the existence of it will give the console value, like how the apple watch edition gives the apple watch more value.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
