Piecing together Nintendo's NX platform

A three-part series which looks at everything we know about Nintendo's NX as a platform so far, and how it will solve the weaknesses Iwata has identified from following the traditional cyclical hardware generation with Wii U and 3DS.

(NX is not a hybrid!)

Amateur journalism. Where waiting for an official announcement is never an option.

PhoenixUp3935d ago

This could be the first time in Nintendo history that they release a new console before a new handheld

Summons753935d ago

they never said it was a home console or a handheld. It could be one or the other, or both.

Summons753935d ago

What's there to piece together WE KNOW NOTHING, simple as that.

Ck1x3935d ago

I can't agree with you enough! Every day there's some new NX article with no official information about the system yet...

wonderfulmonkeyman3935d ago

There's only two things we know for certain:

#1 It will be talked about in 2016 at E3.

#2 If Nintendo keeps their word about not abandoning the Wii U, and they follow their own 5 year precedent for home console releases, the NX won't release until the following year, in 2017.

Everything else beyond those two current facts are just hearsay and rumors, or are at the very least debatable.

mydyingparadiselost3935d ago

We have a code name, that's all we need!
My prediction - It's a portable home console augmented VR reality cloud machine, will require fiber internet, launches with DQ VII,VIII, X, and XI, P.T., Konami's console port of Castlevania: EROTIC VIOLENCE and F Zero. Prove me wrong internet :D

Good article. Someone actually reading what iwata laid out. Nx is os based gaming platform that might run on custom hardware.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi65d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer66d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot66d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno66d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay66d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno64d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK65d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
