I'm hoping the original rumors are still true of 4.6tflop GPU. Just don't skimp on CPU! Problem is AMD has no good CPUs. They bottleneck cards so bad, even AMD used Intel in Project Quantum. Also don't skimp on ram like WiiU. Go for 16gb GDDR5X.

That kind of ram bottlenecks the CPU. GDDR5 has great bandwidth, but bad latency. They should use DDR4 or HBM.

Takwin3864d ago

Something like a custom 780ti with a custom i5 level CPU.

16 GB shared RAM.

Plus unified purchases for eShop, and recognizes all previous digital purchases on 3DS and Wii U.

Since it will be powerful, there is no reason it can't be backwards compatible with Wii and Wii U, which would make the transition easy.

$399 launch before Black Friday 2017.

Nintendo will have sequels in the first 18 months of launch:

3D Mario
2D Mario
Zelda
Mario Kart
Metroid
Kirby
Pokemon
Splatoon
Captain Toad
Hyrule Warriors

Later in the cycle:
Smash Bros
F-Zero
Pikmin
Another Mario
many more new IP

That's a tall order! Can we add another Maker game too please?

Donkey Kong Maker!

If they could fit in a desktop like GPU, I think getting a GTX 970 into a console would be awesome. Very powerful card but extremely good power consumption and heat. I mean I know it's possible, they stuck a GTX 980 into a laptop.

wonderfulmonkeyman3864d ago

I think people are forgetting just how long it takes Nintendo to make games like Smash Bros.

They do a LOT of quality checking before the release of big titles like that; 18 months for all of those games at once is a bit unrealistic, especially if Nintendo wants to make sure people aren't over-saturated on them.

filchron3864d ago

If Nintendo really wants to go for broke and bring back its status as the kings of fun and pioneers of 3D game presentation they need to go all out with the proposed first gen NX Mario title. Im thinking a hyper immersive 3D darker mood higher coolness Mario64 style title that really pushes people's expectations of what 3D console gaming is. Imagine a Mario NX reveal where they completely change the game, again. http://www.hanging-waters.c... http://www.superluigibros.c...
If Nintendo can do this I will buy an NX for 400-500$. Couldnt care less about the mobile attachment thingy.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
