also general hype thread. What do you expect? Will it save Nintendo, will it bury it further?
Do you expect the rumors about it being a handheld/home console hybrid to be true? If so how excited are you to play Zelda BoTW on the go, or playing Pokemon in your 50 inch TV on a comfy ass rainy evening?
To be honest I haven't bought a Nintendo home console since the SNES but I've had every handheld the fact that this is probably both has me riding the hype train at full speed with no brakes. I hope I don't crash.
Another render I saw a few days ago that I liked a lot.
Logan Rivera
I think you should just buy a psp OP
Juan Perez
I would if I was a weeb but I'm not.
Nathaniel Richardson
so... how would 3ds/ds compatibility work if there is only one screen?
Mason Parker
the same way it works on phone emulators, in fact I've found that I prefer having the two screens side by side than one on top of the other since it's in your immediate field of vision.
Of course we are assuming it will have backwards compatibility, it might not.
Sebastian Peterson
How many games use the second screen for anything that couldn't be replaced by a submenu/pause screen?
Landon Diaz
the only one that comes to mind is Pokemon Ranger
Gabriel Hill
>NX >hype Pick one (1)
Lincoln Phillips
i don't care what it is like. as long as it plays Smash and supports the GC controller adapter for it i'm buying it.
Connor Hernandez
Leave it up to nintendrones to be hype about something you have absolutely no information on
Christopher Stewart
Irrelevant, the games are programmed to display on two screens. That's how they are made.
Andrew Davis
it wouldn't
Bentley Sullivan
I can't get hyped about an handheld with tv out with no console replacement, sorry OP
Jason Rodriguez
>holyday 2016
atleast use a relevant image
Lucas Adams
Or or or maybe I'm just excited at being able to keep playing my games even if I'm not at home. You have no idea how many hours I sometimes spend bored out of my mind in my university just waiting for my next class. This is a godsend.
Nathan Kelly
>64/sunshine sequel/successor >dk64 successor
Why the fuck haven't they made either of these for the wii u
Joshua Garcia
>literally the WiiU's gamepad
Ryan Sanchez
It's sleeker though, looks a lot better to me.
Aiden Rodriguez
It could use a 1:1 1280x1280 screen or another display that is more square or taller than a 16x9 display and show both screens on a single display.
Samuel Butler
say,is there any chance that nintendo could make a new diddy kong racing for the nx?
Julian Howard
There was a rumor for diddy king racing to be on wii u but you know >rumors
Bentley Foster
That would be abysmal on such a small screen. There's simply not enough real-estate to display both screens of DS/3DS games.
If the screen were large enough, the NX would be much too big for a handheld. It would be cool as fuck however if you could cast the top screen to a TV and have the NX screen display the lower screen a la WiiU.
Isaac Hughes
Doubtful. Mario sells more so you'll get another Mario Kart and you'll like it. And now you can take the wheel on the go so you can pretend you are the bus driver!
Kayden Butler
That would be an idiotic design choice just for the sake of DS games
Austin Brooks
Or you could buy a 3DS so that that wouldn't drive the up the cost
Juan Carter
I really want it to be a console/handheld hybrid.
I think it's been basically confirmed at this point that it won't be backwards compatible with Wii U (though it might be possible), but I hope it's backwards compatible with the 3DS, or at least recognizes that I own certain download titles so I don't have to buy them again (even just a discount like the VC titles on Wii U would be fine).
I also hope it has a decent storage method. The Wii U only allowing external hard drives and the new 3DS using a micro SD card made shit inconvenient for me. I'd prefer just paying extra for more storage on the console.
William James
$199. That's all it needs.
William Rivera
I honestly hope it's not much of an improvement over the wiiu. I already have a wiiu and don't want feel like I'm playing a gimped version of BoTW
Kevin Russell
I want it to be a phone.
John Russell
As much as this will probably be a total fuck up and flop, ironically it's as if Nintendo looked at my personal playing habits and designed a machine to make them more convenient.
Samuel Bailey
How so? They could use it for NX games as well.
Games built to work broadcasting to a TV could put the top 16x9 12x720 image on the screen while using the whole of the remaining 1280x540 image for the additional information that you'd get which would give you a significantly larger amount of room for the secondary information than you get currently with the DS.
Games not build to broadcast to a TV like a drawing game could just use the whole surface. Think of it like a 2DS but without the bezels or smaller bottom screen.
Austin Carter
dude,the old tegra x1 is already more powerful than the wii u so the pascal tegra would be way better than a wii u
Adrian Powell
Keep in mind that a handheld would be power constrained compared to the Nvidia shield console. They'd still get access to its features like support for modern Vulkan-style APIs but they wouldn't necessarily be better than a WiiU in every way.
Colton Jackson
But the NX could only render the important screen and then have a button you could hold down to show the other screen instead, or make the other screen pop up in a corner inset
Zachary White
I have a suggestion but keep an open mind.
Throw that shit console into the garbage and buy the NX with BoTW.
Hudson Powell
the report also said the nx would be actively cooled so its way possible
Carter Nelson
I can't get hyped for anything Nintendo these days. They always find a way to fuck up.
Elijah Russell
No fuck you, I have to wait a year until I can upgrade my phone again.
Samuel Thomas
All of these look like shit People seem to forget that Nintendo still caters to a family audience and this includes children, none of these look like they could support being handled by a child especially dropped by one Remember that the ds was designed to withstand a drop from a chest pocket in a suit by an average business man yet all these renders make it looks like your average breakable phone shit
Brandon Lopez
Yep this right here, It's honestly even better than both screens like I said before.
Alexander Lee
The concept for this is already tougher looking because it doesn't have a hinge. As long as the screen is durable ops concept will be stronger than a 3ds. Why do you think they made the kids version (2ds) without a hinge?
Jaxson Reed
They only made the 2ds because of the legal restrictions on 3d for children under 7, the no hinge was most likely a thought during r&d and a way to save on money making screens 2ds is pretty comfortable though
Thomas Lee
It's not just about APIs. The Maxwell architecture do a lot of things the WiiU don't, and they don't necessarily take more power. Like for example compressing everything written and read from the memory, making 1GB on the tegra being almost like 1.5-2GB on the WiiU GPU. Also all the improvements in Zbuffer bandwith saving, better shaders, bindless textures etc etc etc etc etc... And then there is the part where the chip is designed to be low power from the ground up, and have several metal level optimizations to leak less power, thus allowing it to simply plain do more with the same power envelope. And to put the cherry on the cake, the Tegra X1 is manufactured at 20nm, instead of the 45nm of the WiiU, which makes it "naturally" much more power efficient, and well, the WiiU GPU was not exactly a beast in power consumption to begin with.
Christopher Scott
>They only made the 2ds because of the legal restrictions on 3d for children under 7 What legal restrictions? They just said it's not recommended, and you can still turn off the 3D with the slider.
Dominic Ortiz
user this way they can sell you a separate $50 protector, its better for them.
And honestly I think kids these days are a lot more careful, I mean I know of at least 2 kids younger than seven both of which have tablets to play games and watch some weird ass videos on and they are as good as new.
I think that when you literally grow up with this kind of tech in your hands you sorta learn to take more care of it. And from experience I was always careful with all my stuff when I was a kid because I knew that if it broke I wasn't ever getting another one again but I know this probably isn't the case for most kids.
Samuel Mitchell
...
Gabriel Nelson
So what do you guys think they'll actually call it?
Charles Anderson
sorry maybe not strictly illegal but selling a device that can hurt eyesight and even permanently damage it to young children all while marketing to them is a legal fiasco not to mention the amount of brand hurting that it would do, also just morally wrong 2ds was most likely a way to get around that
Mason Powell
Nintendo NX
Charles Murphy
The Power Nintendo Entertain System
Jace Campbell
can we get a source on this
Elijah Thompson
The Power Entertainment Nintendo Integrated System
Gavin Ross
can you just go somewhere else
Liam Fisher
I think they'll just keep the NX name since they've been officially referring to it that way.
Also we are already close to release as it is and they even haven't even shown the console, assuming they unveil it during the holiday season, renaming it would be a marketing blunder almost on the same level of the WiiU since they would have only 3 months or so to market it under the new name when it has been building hype as the NX for over a year already.
Landon White
And yet they took two years to do that
Henry Cooper
wii u and mii
Isaiah Wright
this is the special edition that will be released a year after for $50 more and no power dongle or memory.
Lincoln Wright
>Hype >NX >After the disasters known as the Wii and Wii U
Kinda funny how Sup Forums forgives things Nintendo does far more than Microsoft or Sony combined
Asher Lee
I would be mad as fuck if they kept up this ridiculous naming convention.
Gavin Hernandez
The render also makes it apparent in a different picture that it's the same size as a vita
Lucas Johnson
Wait until nintendo stop making colorful games based on gameplay to see if Sup Forums keeps cheering for it. As soon nintendo go the cinematic route, they're dropping it like a hot potato.
Nolan Murphy
a handheld gaming platform ought to be wider than it is tall for ergonomics and portablity. The 2DS is ass in those respects. Using a square screen would fuck with the dimensions or waste potential screen space. Wide-screen is standard on handhelds for a reason.
Aiden King

Nathan Collins
Don't respond to tripniggers, ESPECIALLY not that one

Ethan Flores
Ah yes. This is that animeposter thing that keeps doing canned stuff, right?
Charles Jackson
As long as you realize that the NX will be SHIT
Jaxon Lopez
Get out faggot, this isn't a console war thread nor will I allow it to descend into one.
Joseph Ortiz

Liam Taylor
>D-DON'T BASH MY MIGHTY NINTENDO-SAMA!
Did you buy any new Amiibos my fellow Nintendo lover?
Hudson Gutierrez
Until today I dont know why so much people desire things to fail, I mean, I really hope every next console to be the best it can.
Adam Edwards
>PS3 >winning anything
You meant to put an Xbox 360 there, right?
Connor Gray
Son, this kind of stuff don't work that well when you're basically using a "imatroll" trip.
Austin Lewis
I don't own a single one. I don't even have a wii u
Ian Sullivan
TROLLED XD
Jacob Young
This sounds fucking terrible. It makes the touch acreen that much more out of the way that before.
Tyler Hall
I honestly hope nx is not a hybrid. I don't want to have to buy another handheld even so soon.
Samuel James
You still resounded though bruh.
Justin Rogers
New Wii U
Thomas Gonzalez
Then I'll get trinity which might also be a phone.
Mason Sanders
Honestly I hope they keep this name. Sounds too good to let up.
Grayson Campbell
Nintendo can't make good consoles anymore
Christopher Thompson
>a tripfag
Jeremiah Martin
>sunshine sequel
The sequel was Mario Galaxy you muppet.
Sunshine was itself a bad sequel to Mario 64.
Anthony Smith
Indeed there's some newfags falling for it. But still, i think your trolling is a bit dull, and nothing that will get spread around like wildfire, kinda like the bullshit ben heck spread about the snes CD for example.
Jacob Baker
>Nintendo lover >Ninja turtles
Why haven't you grown up yet?
Aiden Foster
Also after the success of the DS and 3DS, yeah.
Aaron Butler
Thats a reason to hope they get better, more consoles = more games
Aiden Nelson
what games should i emulate Sup Forums
Jaxon Davis
Ideal situation >NX is both a handheld AND a home console >they're two separate systems but they're built with the same architecture, just different specs >they play the same games at different levels of graphical fidelity (think laptop vs gaming pc) >games come in cartridges >if you put the cartridge in the portable NX, you can play the game on the go in lower res >if you put the cartridge in the home NX, the cartridge acts as a DRM and the HD version of the game gets downloaded and installed on the console's HDD like PS4 and Bone do >cross play, cross buy, clouds saves etc
Kevin Watson
>anime at least TMNT were for boys
Levi Parker
>tripfag >putting PS3 as the winner instead of Wii
And girls, and kids, and several audiences in general. But the ones you enjoy seems to be for the pillow hugging audience.
Noah Young
>pokemon GO gets released >regain interest and read about every gen past 2 >consider getting a 3ds to play some of them >strong interest in Sun and Moon >suddenly consider NX to be a viable thing
What the fuck is happening to me? I don't want to become a nindentoddler.
