I don't know if this is what the NX is, but it should be. I wanted this for a while now. While playing my Wii U i would often think " i wish i could play 3ds games on this thing"
Did Nintendo finally do something right ?
>Did Nintendo finally do something right ?
Only for 30 years
It will be fun.
Bump
It's getting delayed to August 2017
Profit projections are so low because we know of this, there's a reason its release date is the end of the tax year
It's getting a reveal in January
Soooo, still no news about an official reveal date?
>Nintendo making a non-gimmicky, classic design device
Yeah that looks way too cool for Nintendo.
Based on what? Your hunch? Ya, fug off
Yes. NX should just be a fucking beefy handheld you can plug up to your TV.
It's easy to market and understand.
Japs will absolutely eat that shit up.
It fits Nintendo's style and isn't too gimmicky.
It means Nintendo is just doing games on one platform (Pokémon and Monster Hunter is finally set free)
It just fucking werks.
Read between the lines, my friend. The info is all there.
>Strong push for 3DS this Xmas
>No support for WiiU because they don't want late adopters for the console launching next year
>No reveal before Xmas because it might distract from the 3DS push
>Zelda BotW initially revealed as "March 2017" was updated via PR announcement to "2017"
>Profit projections for this year do NOT feature projections for the NX
Look into your heart user.
>strong push
>it's all fucking minigames
They are literally just stalling while they develop their proper titles for next gen.
...
That would be fucking great but I still have doubts.
1.It's not really that portable when it looks like that, it's easier to carry a 3DS with you.
I know it's the same as a vita then, but imo that's one of the vitas biggest problems.
2.Only a single screen.
Some 3DS games rely on the dual screen setup, if it has only one screen you can't put sequels on that thing or only play them at home with 2 screens.
3.If your buttons or sticks break you have to replace the whole thing.
When you play on the same thing be it on the go or at home, that'll probably happen pretty fast too.
4.Probably underpowered as fuck and hard to put multiplats on it.
It'll probably be weaker and game carts won't hold as much as blurays.
>no more game droughts
name me 10 good games for either 3ds or wii u from the past 6 months
>Did Nintendo finally do something right ?
you wish
But you know they don't.
>no more game droughts
My guess is that the 'detachable' controllers hook into your phone and are small enough to carry around with you.
No but i can name you 30 good games from the wii u and 3ds. Plus if the nx is something that combines both you get a bigger virtual console.
What's your point? Those are systems that are about to be phased out, so support is a bit lacking.
>Some 3DS games rely on the dual screen setup, if it has only one screen you can't put sequels on that thing or only play them at home with 2 screens.
1) every single double screen thing is a forced gimmick that would better work on a single screen
2) the resolution of the vita's single screen is bigger than the 3DS's two screens combined, so by having whatever shit you want displayed side by side, what the fuck would change? Other than seeing things better because they aren't divided by the shitty folding tube in the middle? You got successfully tricked by nintendo into thinking a disrupting gimmick is not only needed but improving the games, when in fact it does worse than having one single big screen.
> white vita
if "just dance" is coming to nx, could it even be portable? not entirely sure how those games work, but i thought it was played in front of a tv while dancing? that would be a bit hard for a portable.
Nintoddlers are mentally ill
>people legit believe it will be BC with the 3DS
convince me it will
I expect a delay. But to not reveal it for another several months would be suicidal.
what the fuck
>30
It's fucking nothing. That's an average of 7 games a year. Half of them are undoubtedly 20 hours long games and there's gotta be some average stuff thrown in there too.
I agree with nintendo's decision to unify their libraries, but the drought will still be there for someone who only plays nintendo. Infact, I think having all the games on a single library is mandatory for nintendo, I would probably not buy their next gen shit if it still was 2 separate systems.
>one screen
>after Nintendo has used two screens for twelve years
I'd love to see backwards compatibility on this.
Moron.
Not sure if it works for every game that way, but I have to admit you are correct if you say it's just a gimmick most of the time.
They even fucked up and didn't use the screen for things that would actually be nice so many times, like letting you use drag and drop controls for moving units in Fire Emblem for example.
Having to use the dpad to move your units while only having stupid infos on the touchscreen made me mad as fuck.
They must have been "about to be phased out" since they came out, then.
>could it even be portable
Yes, and it already is.
There's a Just Dance game for smartphones, but it works by turning your phone into a controller while the actual game is running on a browser that you have to access on a separate system. I guess they could to the same on a portable console but it'd be retarded to sell it.
>Pay full price for this NX game that forces you to use your computer to access the browser
Everyone talks about plugging the controller into the tv, but how would that work? Just a bigass cable going from the controller to the tv? From a marketing point of view, it's impossible to market that, in the era of wireless controllers.
I honestly thought someone would be able to come up with 10 new good games for both systems combined since March. Totally pulled it out of my ass but I guess I was right.
The rumor is that it's basically the image in the OP but the controller parts detach and also it can hook up to a TV or a dock that hooks up to a TV.
name 5 very good games for 3ds/Wii u the past 6 months
>hard mode: you have to recommend for non-weebs
MH uses very well the second screen, user.
It's nice not having all that UI shit in the main screen.
There will be a docking station where you plug a cable from the dock to the NX like a controller cord.
I'm certain this is going to be the case, as the docking station will have some hardware of its own to up the internal resolution to 1080p, as it would be a massive waste of space/components if it was left within the NX handheld, it would also cost them a fuckton to cram it in too.
>every single double screen thing is a forced gimmick that would better work on a single screen
Some games use it greatly to its advantage
Have you ever played split screen games?
I would love a good Handheld.
>what is Pokemon anniversary game
Is this nintendo's version of the vita?
Why do people make these mock-ups?
>7 good games a year
>which also implies a bigger number in total
>this is considered little
for a fake it actually looks nice for a change
Since that PSP-like device ended up not being a new Vita, I wonder if it's NX or some android device.
Even if you count all the UI in the main screen, you'd still have more screen space on the vita to see what's going on. Let alone modern phones running on 1080p single screens. So this is a non-argument. You are left playing MH with a 240p mainscreen, which is dog shit.
Pic related. Absolutely not worth trading the UI clutter for.
it's not about "advantage", it's more about "be the least disruptive". There isn't a single game that actively works better thanks to the double screen compared to if it were on a competing system. It's always a compromise or irrelevant.
>implying its not going to be an attatchment for the iphone 7
too lazy of a render.
3DS carts have the little tab at the top right to prevent insertion into a DS, and a backwards compatible NX would presumably have another at the top left or something.
Is it powerful enough to play current gen games? And yes, when playing my 3DS I would also wish I could just hook it up to my tv and use a real controller.
That thought has crossed my mind too. When you add stick to a portable console, it really isn't that different at all then a home console. 3DS and VITA are many multiple times more powerful then the N64 or Playstation.
That thing looks like it has 15 min battery life
But will they let me play Japanese Snes, and PC Engine games?
The World Ends With You.
>There isn't a single game that actively works better thanks to the double screen compared to if it were on a competing system.
Etrian Odyssey.
That's a bad game to do that since it's designed for the dual screen, however misses the mark of almost any game that actively uses a map or inventary that is more than a single line of options to select with L and R.
Pokken, TMS, MonHun Generations, Seventh Dragon III, Picross 3D Round 2
>that hard mode
Better weeb than AAA western nonsense.
Works better on a single big screen.
Besides, even in an alternate universe were you were right, that's still one title, and you just traded half the display size of a handheld device (themselves always screaming for more display), for one game.
Also would work better on a single big screen. There is no actual reason to have two divided smaller screens for EO, the map/game division is merely aesthetical, it serves no gameplay purpose.
Still has no reason nor advantage for it to be two smaller screens. You can achieve the same, and even better, on a single bigger touch screen, so you could fully customize the secondary map/inventory area instead of being constricted to the 2 separate screens of the same size. Infact, most touch functions do not fully use the second screen because there is almost never a need for all that space for secondary functions. In that case, that's dead space that would have better served the main display.
Next? Any more pointless suggestions that just prove my point further? The 3DS's double screen is either detrimental or pointless. It is never superior in any one scenario.
>pokken
>seventh dragon 3
>good
Lmao
You're mixing up resolution and the serviceability of the dual screens (there's no need, for example, that both are the same size).
>so you could fully customize the secondary map/inventory area instead of being constricted to the 2 separate screens of the same size
This makes no sense unless you're for 90s RPG game like screen clutter.
Also, the map/game division in EO is not purely aesthetical, but a gameplay element on its own, unless you're missing one of the main points of the game.
Dude, all your alternative solutions are worse than having a second screen. There is a reason most PC workspaces have two screens at once. Interrupting the game to fiddle with the map or inventory is awful compared to just glancing down or up with the action still going. And the idea that you thing TWEWY is better on one screen only proves that you are baiting hard.
Enjoy your (You), it is the last you will get from me.
Also, holy shit, have you even played TWEWY?
>pokken
>not great
I'll give you that Seventh Dragon is a stretch, but don't even try that shit.
>Not liking Pokken
>7th Dragon
