Hardware There is a rumor about NX

[Drud1995]

No way in hell it will be $200 (maybe refurbished?) maybe anywhere from $250-300 would be reasonable. All evidence points to a fusion home and portable console so you can play anywhere with one system. Nintendo consoles usually also have about a 5 year lifespan, so I would estimate release around Holiday 2017 with more information given at E3 2016.

Nintendo worked together with AMD so they could do a hardware for WiiU that could enter in Wii mode, to avoid having to big of a console, didn't they? (I remember reading something like that a long time ago... but I don't remember that well)..

If they worked that close to AMD when building the WiiU, maybe they are doing it again now

My iPhone is to damn big (and to thin), the Wii U is to damn small. Need more room for ports (Ethernet, USB, GC, 2nd HDMI)

It doesn't need NGC port as it's only compatible with two games legally. Wait, 2nd HDMI? What's that for?

What's the second game?

That's Nintendo's new online feature. Buy a 5km hdmi cord so you and your friend can have that "on the couch" experience in your own homes.

What's the second game?

Mario 64

I believe many aren't aware of this so they basically just think it works with one game only. Two games isn't a lot either.

Edit: Other 64 VC are GC compatibletoo.

They always advertised it as Smash Bros specific, so I didn't expect this. Maybe there's a chance they'll add support to it in more games too.

The small lot of N64 VC on Wii U are pretty much all NGC-compatible minus Donkey Kong 64.

sounds like we might have the option to buy the NX with or without a tablet controller....thought I heard someone talking about that option for the Wii U...oh thats right every Nintendo fan on the internet suggested that!

$149 without tablet
$299 with tablet

WiiU with no tablet = NX - thats just my theory, a GAME THOERY.

Nintendo better not pull more gimmicky shit like the GamePad because it didn't even go that well for the Wii U either.

For the Wii U DS NX. No more split screen crap or maybe even a place for your map.

Too futuristic for Nintendo.

 

[Bladexdsl]

the hottest rumor at the moment is it's an ouya and it can stream wiiu, mobile and 3ds to it

That's a shame. DK64 really doesn't control well (original OR VC version), and the GameCube controller probably would have provided the best fit.

 

[Bladexdsl]

i can play dk64 just fine with the wupc. just re-map the buttons in the menu.

 

[osirisjem]

Is it fair to say that old games wont be compatible as they are switching from a PowerPC CPU to an AMD CPU ?
Wasn't alot of the compatibility of old Nintendo games to new systems was because they kept using the same CPU (PowerPC) ? Non ?

 

[TehCupcakes]

inb4 NX announced as running Android.

 

[Bladexdsl]

no way is it going to run android nintendo are too proud (and stubborn) to allow another OS running on their systems

 

[puss2puss]

The NX will be a tablet with a small receptor.
The receptor will be able to stream the wiiU and the 3ds for compatible games, like the newZelda. In zelda, the NX will be used mostly for a second display for maps and potion creation and maybe some mini-games.
Now, think whatever you want, but i did what i had to do.
