Except the MH doesn't exist...

not officially YET. It'll most likely be officially announced when the NX is revealed. 3ds is 5 yrs old and BADLY compromised with hacks, its bad business when nobody buys games for 3ds either.

Except they do.. Yes.. The 3DS is severely hacked.. but you have to understand we are still a -tiny- fraction. Just look at NSMB Wii and Pokemon Diamond and Pear. Some of the most pirated games in history... yet even that was NOTHING compared to the sales data.

People buy. Don't worry.
You can make a system as effortless to hack as the Wii and people will buy games a lot anyway.
People are not complete thieves, I like to believe, and even if they pirate they still buy most games they really play. I do at least.
History has already proven this to be true.

most people buy the console just for the hacks, theres a reason why exploit games sell top5 on any estore

when you look at the numbers for 60million 3ds sold and amount of game units sold it doesnt ever add up, by a HUGE margin, more so with recent unit/software ratio.

Anyway back to Zelda WiiU, itll most likely be outdated in 2017 ala Skyward Sword 2011. SS looks really bad now unless its ctr tv or gamepad

most of those best selling games are 2014 or below, before 3d cfw

Thats cause your assuming that the same people who buy Pokemon will by Lego Marvel or Skylanders. Yes there is over-lap...but just assuming everyone has hacked thier 3DS is just utterly stupid. I'd argue less than 5 percent of 3DS owners have.

Either way, 3ds software is not doing too good and the future game lineup is almost nonexistent, insert the kimishima quote about making them run on the same base for porting purposes and the MH is seems more plausible along with their 'new ways to play' slogan

Well, perhaps it is because the hardware is dated as hell and the established smartphone market has been stealing purchases progressively.

im looking at the HUD on Zelda BOW wiiu/NX and the placement of it almost lines up with fan designs of the handheld 5x7 patent concept. (they wont be in the way) more of a MH SPECULATION

if zelda was considered a dud but then blew everyones mind....

lets hope this gimmick is better than the zelda showcased. i still think its eye wear shown in starfox. i picture it being used like the twilight princess 'pointer' and you can use your eyes to im his weapon, bomb, arrows, etc

i forgot to mention that ps4 neo and xbox1 scorpio rumored WONT be that much better despite crazy high 'console specs numbers' but theyll be just a half console only used for higher graphics fidelity and 4k support and vr support. Not to mention vr is really its own seperate console gimmick much like the playstation move and games, or the xbox motion sensor with its on vr only games.

meaning the NX can actually be the most powerful game console along with being the most affordable

Or at the very least finally on par with the competition in terms of hardware, yeah

Fils-Aime told Bloomberg (via Nibel): "For us, it's not about specs, it's not about teraflops, it's not about the horsepower of a particular system. For us, it's about the content."

Nintendo doesnt play hardcore media so it makes sense

so the performance is meant for its games. but think ubisoft saying a cryptic message about luring the elderly consumers again with its gimmick

son of a fukking saigon nose biting horr... I just realized that so many people got stoked from Zelda Breath of the Wild that they might just buy the nx too. Which will probably leave me stuck having to buy a second shipment console months later because the shelves dont just stock themselves

I'm buying the Wii U version, but I know at least two people who don't own Wii Us that would be buying an NX bundle at launch. Can't believe you didn't make that connection earlier lol

I want to see what the differences between the Wii U and NX version are, and if Nintendo offers any sort of discounted upgrade path. If it goes down like the Wii I'll have to go all the way to Fort McMurray again to FINALLY find a console in stock, so I will probably just buy the game off the eShop then upgrade to NX when I can.


I need to see if my Homebrew transfers over though. I can just pick up an old Wii and load my Wii and Gamecube games onto it, but I'd like to stick with just one console that has everything. Since Wii games on the eShop skip the Wii Menu I suspect the NX will strip down the Wii OS to the minimal amount required and have everything managed through the NX OS.
