Nintendo's next-generation console is codenamed 'NX'

[WiiCube_2013]

everyone laughed at me when i said the fusion was coming...but i didn't expect it to be this crap! moving into the mobile market will be the worst decision and maybe even the last they ever make.

Not from a business perspective so it works out for Nintendo.

Inb4 people deem Nintendoomed ;O;

But seriously, what is this going to be, a console, a handheld/console hybrid?

Nintendoomed, lol. As for what it is, all I can really say is that I will be astonished if Nintendo doesn't build up the hype train to supersonic speeds only to ram it into the ground... I have always loved the Big N, but the last few years especially... I mean, damn...

With the direction a lot of companies are moving in, I'd guess they might be trying to come up with a VR solution like the Oculus Rift. Virtual Boy 2?

I just feel that too many VR headsets are going to oversaturate and destroy the market, because nobody will know what to design for. Hopefully I'm wrong.

News like this really makes new buyers of the Wii-u and N3DS think twice. Why would anyone buy a Wii-u now, knowing that a new "dedicated game platform" is being advertised? Companies shouldn't release info about a new product until they're satisfied the old product has saturated the market. Perhaps that's what they think of the the Wii-u?!

never forget

LOL. Such an elaborate setup simply to play randomized bonus stages from Sonic & Knuckles. Anything other then Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 stacked onto the Sonic & Knuckles game just results in randomized bonus stages. That whole stack is just a whole fail then.

NX could be a gaming Tablet or a small micro console box made just for DeNA games.
Overall just a small thing for DeNA games.

If it was a next gen console it would likely be a computer in a fancy box and they'd have to ditch all backwards compatibility.

However it is odd they want to announce details next year rather than at E3 so maybe they are serious.
Still why brought up with the DeNA announcement?
A mistake perhaps?

Maybe it'll be a dedicated shovelware console with a shovel controller xD
Luigi's Mansion: Dig your own grave a family game.

I have a feeling this NX will be out next year, this sounds like it was DeNA who pushed for an extra console.
If it was Nintendo's next big thing they'd be a lot more excited about it.
We'll see what happens at E3, gotta be some clues there.

I might be overthinking it, but did anyone else try looking at NX from an angle and seeing it as ZX or XZ? Does that connect to anything? xD

It seems silly for them to try to life support three consoles at once. They're already stretched kinda thin between two.

They were going to do it with the Gameboy, Nintendo DS, and console as the three pillars of Nintendo. That is, until the DS utterly destroyed the handheld market and made Gameboy redundant.

NX huh?! Nintendo's next console better be a god damned star ship or I'm not buying.

 

[DinohScene]

Oh Nintendo.
What rubbish can you come up with now?

I get what you're saying and you're probably right but never refer to it as "Virtual Boy 2".

VR is a thing now. It wouldn't be ahead of its time, it'd be with the times. This one could work. Better. Stronger. Faster. We can rebuild it, we have the technolgy.

Appropriate picture someone posted on Reddit. "Nintendo's first Mobile Mario Game!" It is unfortunately accurate.

Something similar already exists...

The technology may be more there than it was before but I am guessing it is going to be more like

Lol at the comments thinking Nintendo is either going down or that they're making a huge mistake. Keep it up, Temp.

considering the pay2win (or pay2play seems more appropriate) mess called pokemon shuffle, they are valid complaints

I installed it but haven't played it yet... is it really THAT bad?

There is a good chance that the next handheld will finally feature cortex and overpower some mid to low end smartphone, while keeping the physical controls.
The console might have something to do with hologram or using the handheld as powerhouse (two handhelds through some kind of connection for processing, and a box for storage and output, and support wii u pro, possibly wii u gamepad, and very likely wii motes).

TL;DR yes. And I say that as a Pokétard.
