The newest rumor compares the NX as "similar to the Xbox One". Now the Xbox One isn't a bad system, but if that ends up to be true, they'd be releasing a system behind the the PS4 specs wise, and its likely to be priced above the PS4 on release date. If Nintendo is serious, they need to push the system off as being state of the art. Its great if they're making it easier to develop for, but the current home console market is super competitive, and if they want to remain relevant, they're going to need to bring in more than Nintendo fans. And I'm not trying to sound like a troll, its just my opinion, but they need to get rid of the "kiddy games" image they've created. Their games aren't necessarily kiddy, but they're whimsical and come across as kiddy to a lot of people. Image is everything, and perception is reality when your system isn't selling as much as the competitions. Its truly a disaster when 12 year old kids are labeling Nintendo as 'kiddy', and would rather play games designed for adults. In some ways the complete opposite is happening and its adults playing and enjoying the 'kiddy' games.
Like cod is mature. A tablet with Xbox one's power is rather preferable. The only question is if 14nm can turn down the heat and if there will be cooling for the console.

Call of Duty is a casual's shooter.
Show them CS:GO and they will be crying because they will absolutely sucked.
Well at least you can trust valve to bring good games. Though I am not exactly a fps guy. I founder platformers much more enjoyable.
Do you think a 9-inch 900p will do?

That game was intended for a more mature audience, that doesn't mean the gamers who play it are mature. The immaturity level of gamers in online FPS games is one of the reasons I quit playing them. There are still some FPS games on PC where most of the players are adults. I got a 10 year old who won't play Nintendo games, he wants to play the stuff I'm playing. Handed him the pad and told him if he could beat a boss on Dark Souls 2 (The Pursuer) in 30 minutes he could play any game he wants. No chance of that happening. For a 10 year old to do that they'd have to be a gaming prodigy.

I'm not really an FPS guy/girl (or whatever I identify as) either, although I do like the occasional shooter game, FPS isn't my style.

Would anyone be against using cartridges (maybe the same as the portable) for the console, other than development concerns?
Not a problem at all. Cartridge could use some good upgrade for the time sake. It is just storing info like a drive or disc does with extra hardware.
Arm claimed their top gpu will surpass ps4 by 2017 on 5w budget.

OK likely a fake

BUT:

the tape near the camera to cover what?

Handheld nintendo console have no name, while wii and wiiu controllers have console name on them.

then prepare yourself for another "wiiesque" name ...

(you will say "wow")

Good point but name could be on the back
The photo feels rather like a sticker than a screen though it seems to have internal lighting in the center. Sharp's free form is perfect for round screen. I just hope big N knows what they are doing.
This may sound absurd but the screen might be capable of simulating the shape of a button, physically.
This might also be capable of hologram.

So what I am saying is that a part of the screen actually becomes thicker than the rest and clickable to simulate a physcial button
o is the a layer of stuffing, - is glass(actually a membrine to sustain slight shape-shifting).

oooooooo

=>
-ooo------
oooooooo

so a part of the screen has thicker stuffing than its surrounding so that part literally goes above. And you can press the stuffing down but the mechanism force it back up in a while, simulating the pressing.
I can draw something more detailed if someone need further explaination.
Indeed an amazing console if there are proper game support. That might be a problem since nintendo start making bad-quality games.

I am sure it has been mentioned at this point... but I just watched a video about the Pocket Dream (not important), but do you think Nintendo might market this as a portable home system because they intend to include video out options? So it would be like one of the cheap plug n' play games but fully realized a standalone handheld as well.

Just a thought.

For those of you that haven't gotten the news yet, the reason I haven't put this in the OP yet is because it looked fishy and was just recently confirmed fake by the poster. It's a VERY good 3D render of the patent sketch, it's never existed outside of a digital fantasy

There's apparently an "insider" with news about the nx release date, price and launch titles. I only read my German source now so in short, a fixed home console by the name "Reach" is set for Christmas at a price tag of 349$ with Zelda (yes, our WiiU Zelda of course) and a Mario Jumpnrun as launch titles. A fitting handheld will come in 2017 for 199$ by the name of "Limit". It serves as a game pad for WiiU emulation on Reach, if you don't have a WiiU tablet controller. Everything sounds too good to be true, i think. Especially when the source said optical media will not be used anymore, but cartridges.

And no, this was posted before April 1st.

If you give me a link to the source then that will go straight to the OP

Also, PLEASE, I'm trusting you guys to keep this thread clean today. Speculate all you want, make April fool's jokes all you want, but don't post obviously fake sources to get people's hopes up

I'm wishing for a console that competes with the ps4 and xboner 1 becacuse, I can't take teenage ignorance of most people recognizing an xbone or playstation better than nintendo consoles... there isn't one time where my parents haven't called my n3ds xl a gameboy... I just want this ignorance towards nintendo in this current gen to end...

@TotalInsanity4 you made the reach and limit news sound like april fools, but this news is older.
Also I have many sources for you, from the last days. All stating basically the same.

http://www.giga.de/konsolen/nintend...men-preis-und-release-fenster-durchgesickert/

Google translated most important feature list:

Here you have listed the most important information clearly:

The console is Nintendo Reach appear glad and in 2 variants, a stationary and a portable
The stationary version is Christmas 2016 appear that portable mid 2017
The games are sold on small memory chips, similar to the Nintendo 3DS
The handheld will be as great as have the lower half of the 3DS and a "Head Tracking" feature
it is voice chats, cloud storage and "MyNintendo" missions give
The cloud storage works between the stationary console and handheld
The main console will cost 350 US $
The handheld will be sold for 199 US $
In addition, some information about the first games were betrayed:

As starting games are "The Legend of Zelda - The Fields of Dawn", a new Mario game called "Mario Underground", and a new branch of Animal Crossing planned
The new Mario game plays in Truffle Kingdom, which lies under the ground
Mario Underground will focus on its history and you can take against underground variants of familiar characters
Annually published series parts of Ubisoft, EA and Activision are ready to start

Noted. I quoted this post in the OP

QUESTION:
do you think nowdays is possible to make again cartridges gaesm for home consoles?
I mean ps4 games retail are about 59$ or 69$ without discounts.
for that price is possible to have a cartridges with maybe 32GB ?
ok i know SD cards offer more and even cheaper, but a custom format would be pricer anyway.

as a collector i would love having again paper boxes and cartridges for the moe console.
:)
At this point, flash storage will likely be cheaper per gigabyte than disk storage will be, with the exception of high-capacity/stacked NAND units. I think it's entirely possible to sell a 64GB cartridge for SIGNIFICANTLY less than the cost of a 50GB Bluray disk
