Rumor: NX will be mainly a home console, plenty of power, Platinum Collection.

Rumors of the NX lately have been wild, and like them or not, everyone has been caught up under the rumor mill's grindstone to some extent lately.

Today I'd like to point out a particular new batch that has some great news that I've heard snippets of before, but not all condensed like this, straight from Player Essence.

One of the first, and best, things, is that the NX is not only easy to dev for, but powerful as well.
Comparable, in fact, to about 2x the PS4, with the graphical ability being comparable to the PS4 Pro, which will give des the ability to port games, quote, "with power to spare".
It is being developed as a home console, in focus, but will use cartridges, which can very well mean a much better solidification of its games lineup, which can now include games like Fire Emblem Fates and Kid Icarus Uprising, or in other words, handheld titles may appear on it in addition to home console games.
Can you say, "fewer droughts"?

The second, is that apparently none of the controller rumors have been accurate. None have gotten the actual form and function correct, and the detachable sides thing is most likely false as well.

And finally, the last bit, before you watch the video for more in-depth info, is that Platinum Games will be making a collection for it as an exclusive!
This collection will include:
Bayonetta 1&2
Vanquish 1
A sequel to Vanquish.
And a remastered port of The Wonderful 101!

So, anyways, watch the vid, drop P.E. a like, and give me your thoughts!

A pic of a part of the list of rumors.

I hope so, but i really dont believe that will happend.

gedden73482d ago

sounds way too good to be true. sorry. i will believe when i see it...

wonderfulmonkeyman3481d ago (Edited 3481d ago )

Your choice, but the majority of the other rumors are mostly negative swill that everyone around here seems to swallow without question, lately.
I'd prefer to believe something clean and positive like this, over the negative crap that gets taken as a given around here recently.

gedden73481d ago

But it Nintendo we are talking about. The Wii Wii U all have disappointed. I hope they do better but I think the NX is hybrid system. I would love that but I also understand how most wouldn't. Its not the norm. These rumors are getting out of hand. I'd rather be negative or grounded then be WOW'ed that i was wrong. My expectations are set low for a reason.

wonderfulmonkeyman3480d ago

Nintendo's announced that it's mainly a home console, so this little article just gained more credence, compared to the tons of negative ones saying it was gonna be a handheld with sucky features.

gedden73480d ago

Hey, still think so???

wonderfulmonkeyman3480d ago

Still hope so, yeah.
Platinum is on the list, we saw Skyrim too which means Bethesda, and Take-Two and From Software are there meaning Rockstar games could be there, as well as the Souls series.
It's VERY possible that some of this is still true.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing1d 12h ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit1d 12h ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing1d 12h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921d 10h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Tanktopmaster921d 10h ago

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
