Oh i can wait for it, personally i think theres going to be a whole new batch of specs rumors and stuff because everyone thought it was in production but that actually tied to the ps4. nintendo just did a trial production last month.

Holy hell why would a bundle be $100 more expensive

Must be pretty exclusive.

hopefully the gimmick/innovation is already prepackaged in the box. Maybe the bundle includes a game and another controller too

Something i was thinking is that the "handheld" part would be like the Dreamcast's memory cards, where you interact with a little part of the game, but the full experience is on the "home console" part.

Thinking about it, it makes complete sense: If the NX has a strong "handheld" side, then Nintendo has to cut costs by using ARM, and thus, less powerfull than home consoles. And if developers (excluding trash like Ubisoft and EA) really sees potential not only in gimmicks but on proccesing power, then the "handheld" side will be a small fraction of the whole console.

It'd be a nice comparison if Dreamcast don't have a infinitely inferior 'handheld'.
Arm is fast enough. The best x86 can offer at that point is core m which is super pricy.
Well if Ubisoft go back to rayman they'd be less crappy.

What if the NX gimmick was dynamic e-ink buttons. Think about it, maybe it wasn't detachable controllers but instead changeable buttons with the press of a button. That way the controller could have multiple button layouts.

That just changes the character that appears on the button. Buttons are already abstract and change their meaning from game to game. Now if they had technology to create physical raised buttons on the fly, THAT would be impressive.

 

[catlover007]

maybe the buttons and analog sticks are magnetic and the controller has a big electric magnetic casing which attracts them.

EDIT: Or the whole controller consists of sticks which may move out and in wards. And they all have a sensor if it is pushed down.

Maybe it could be like the MagiC z-pads on the Smach Z not the same thing, but the same concept.

Giant PSV with 1+ teraflop half-precision and Nintendo brand and great body tracking?

You mean liquid metal screen filling that grow wider when charged? There are several Nano structures that will grow taller under the right condition, but temperature might be an interference.

That thing need a 10w zen+ apu made with 7nm in 2019.

What about an array of little magnetic poles that push up when a current is induced around them, and then the resultant flux from when you press them down can be used to read your inputs.

Something similar, but the magnetic poles won't give the same kind of soft touch. Goodthing about electricity is that they could act both ways.

The poles are just the driving mechanism. You'd have a flexible-but-firm material on top of them to give a good feel to them.

I hoe the NX reveal starts off with Reggie on his computer looking at the NX sub Reddit then going "what's wrong with you?"

i hope its actually a cheap phone or you can put your sim card in it and use it as a phone

But then that would pry my from my ecosystem. Trust my I would love a Nintendo phone but I love my ecosystem too much to get a Nintendo phone.
