Take all this shit with a mountain of salt

>The Nintendo NX uses an ARM architecture
>It is a little bit more powerful than the PlayStation 4; any game that runs on the PS4 will run on the NX with ease
>The Nintendo NX apparently uses 8GB of GDDR5 RAM- that said, the developer did say that a substantial amount of this could end up being reserved for the OS, like on the PS4, Xbox One, or even the Wii U
>With that out of the way, the leaked controllers’ most controversial elements- the oval shape, the touch only controls- are all false. The NX controller seems to be rectangular in shape, and has a physical Dpad, physical shoulder buttons and triggers, physical face buttons, and two full blown analog sticks, as opposed to nubs or sliders
>The controller is an independent unit, with specs on par with a mid tier smartphone. It has microSD functionality.
>The screen on the controller is 1080p
What do you make of this?
>>332221463
>rectangular in shape
Like the NES or another Wii U pad?
>>332222219
It doesn't make a mention of a actual screen though.
>>332222453
Whoops, read that wrong, not sure how I let that one slip by.
>Uses optical discs
>Half the RAM is taken up by an OS
>There's a screen on the controller again
>The controller actually has its own chip set
Uninspiring, to be honest. The Wii U pro controller battery lasts forever precisely because it doesn't have any of that shit in it.
>>332221463
Its obvoiusly fake but even if that was real it would be expensive as fuck why?
ps4 like console + more powerful 3ds = 600€ atleast, i dont see it beign viable
also the leak does not talk about any Gimmick or weird feature the nx will surely have... FAKE
>>332221463
>ARM
If its not compatible with WiiU games its super dead
No one will buy this thing that will take another 3 years to have any games
>>332222669
>>332221463
>>332222579
also Nintendo said that they will not make another controller like the Wii or WiiU so its TOTALLY FAKE
>>332222805
NX is almost confirme to not have WiiU BC, the controller will not have screen so you can have wiiu games on the NX unless they use a phone or a tablet to stream the gamepad image
>>332222808
That's not what they said, they said they will move away from the Wii brand, they never mentioned anything about the controller.
>>332222808
They didn't exactly say that. They said they were distancing themselves from the Wii brand and that it was something completely new. So it is implied as such.
>>332221463
Wasn't this supposed to be a cheap console? Why would it have crazy specs?
If the NX controller is a Phone that could be pretty neat.
>>332222805
>If it's not compatible with Wii U games it's super dead
You want them to use the same PowerPC CPU core again?
>>332221463
I'm not sure. We need to wait and see the reveal first.
>>332222805
>If its not compatible with WiiU games its super dead
Who gives a fuck about the Wii U?
>>332221463
>NX rumors
when will it stop
>>332222669
A mid tier smartphone from china is like 100 dollars.
So the base console could be worth 300 dollars and the controller could be worth 150 and you sell it at a 50 dollar lose for 400 dollars.
>>332223128
When the fucking console is shown, GOD FORBID people are actually excited about a console.
>>332221463
>What do you make of this?
That you're a homosexual and should stop posting immediately.
>>332223376
wow, that's rude.
>>332222805
It is backwards compatiblewith 3DS games.
>>332223128
I really wish Nintendo would just outright say something about the NX. I'm sick of the rumors and I hope they reveal it before E3. However, I doubt that they will.
>>332223616
Their financial meeting is at the end of April, so maybe we will get something there.
>>332221463
The only thing that makes me believe that the NX is maybe as powerful as aps4 or even a bit more is the rush sony is having with the ps4k, its beig released too early and seems rushed to the market to this autumn like if they knew the NX is coming out this holydays
and if that is true it makes looks sony even more pathetic because to them it seem that if they are not the most powerful console they have nothing and thats a very wrong way of thinking
also it would be very natural for the NX to be atleas as a ps4 because the ps4 is already 2-3 years old its nothing to be afraid of
>>332221463
>rumor
I Think that at this point nintendo needs send someone to tell those sites to shut the fuck up.
>>332221463
So, basically another PS4 with a stupid gamepad?
>>332221463
>NX uses an ARM architecture
Stopped reading there
why not just integrate regular smart phone support.
Everyone already has one
>>332223616
>I hope they reveal it before E3
They explicitly stated they wouldn't until E3.
>>332221463
>Yet another shitty leak
You will never learn. We are fresh from the controller bullshit and yet you idiots still listen to this kind of crap.
Good, go on. Fuck up your expectations.
>>332221463
If it were real I'd be okay with it, even the stupid "controller is its own system" shit
>>332221463
Don't care.
>>332223950
where? when?
>>332224267
Not him but I also remember Reggie mentioning in a direct about a year ago that they wouldn't meantion their "next home console until E3"
>>332223808
Sony lost like 3 or 4 billion dollars on the PS3. They probably can't afford to have anything that might disrupt PS4's path to 100 million units sold.
>>332224413
No, he didn't . They only said they will discuss the NX in 2016.
>>332223808
Nah anon, it's just par for the course.
Notice how Microsoft's Phil Spencer said that Xbox One would be able to be upgraded in the future while still maintaining the same playability for software on the previous hardware.
http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/223914-xbox-chief-wants-to-build-a-fully-upgradeable-xbox-one
Iwata before his death also said something similar in comparison to how Apple has a universal OS in which their software can run through multiple platforms old and new.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/02/iwata_looking_to_emulate_ios_and_android_with_a_common_platform_for_future_nintendo_hardware
This to me seems like consoles are going to begin seeing regular hardware revisions while still maintaining the same OS ala PCs and phones for the next few years.
Sony is most likely not creating it as a response to NX, but more inline with having better VR compatability.
>>332224709
Oh, fair enough.
I could re-watch it but I'm too lazy
>>332224791
Of course you are, you fucking nigger.
>>332221463
Still android-based. Not interested.
>>332224821
n-no u
>>332224924
Can i get a source?
The PS4 came out in 2013.
How can the NX not represent ~3+ years of hardware improvement?
Doomed.
>>332225206
>hardware alone sells
It's all in the games and marketing/hype.
>>332224924
How does it feel to be wrong?
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-06/02/nintendo-nx-android-denial
>console + tablet controller that doubles as a portable console.
So that's only $700-800 right?
>>332225183
Nintendo has repeatedly stated that it is not Android, but their presentations and papers have stressed Android software compatibility.
More than likely, they are splitting hairs on what it means to have an Android OS ala OxygenOS, NokiaX, FireOS, MIUI, etc.
There are better examples.
> the console is the controller itself
> it can be hooked up to the tv using something similiar to the steam link
> cartridge based
i want this to happen so bad
>>332223128
It'd be nice to hear what type of hardware it is.
>>332221463
This particular "leaker" talked out of his ass and didn't get verified by leddit mods.
It's complete BS.
>>332225515
>>332225515
You can easily do it for 400 dollars.
Do you think the PS4 is super powerful? A mid tier smartphone, like this Moto E is only 120 dollars and you can make a slightly better than PS4 console for just 350 dollars. So the NX could just cost 400 dollars.
Didn't the one fake leak creator already claim how easy it was to submit fake news to shitty, lesser-known sites as if they were real.
Who the fuck browses "gamingbolt", it's clearly one of those sites that do the rumor spreading.
>>332223808
If true, PS4K is going to be for PSVR and UHD movies. They'd have no reason to fear NX if it's a home console.
Nice click bait. Can anon come up with a gimmick for the NX?
>>332221463
>What do you make of this?
Dead on arrival
>>332224087
then why did you post
>>332221463
>no new mind blowing gimmick like nintendo promised
BBBAAAIIITTT
>>332228353
what? The gimmick is still there.
The controller can be used on the go to play mini-games without using the console. think of it like simple phone games.
>>332225953
"leaker" in question
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoNX/comments/4btxk0/i_am_a_aaa_dev_who_actually_works_with_a_real_nx/
There's another one in that subreddit who has given information that corroborates with another leaker who claimed to look for exploits in the NX OS.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoNX/comments/4c1ji6/before_april_fools_rolls_around_i_want_to_clear/
>>332223808
Seems to me like Sony is trying to take the wind out of Nintendo's sales by announcing their own "new" console around the same time Nintendo will be unveiling theirs.
They're probably not even hoping for a profit on it, just hoping to hurt the competition.
>>332221463
>The controller is an independent unit, with specs on par with a mid tier smartphone. It has microSD functionality.
What does this mean?
>>332230130
I find it adorable that people still think Sony views Nintendo as competition.
>>332230231
Nintendo is Sony's most dangerous competition. If they release a traditional console with specs on par with what Sony and Microsoft are offering then it will be much easier for third party companies to port their games to the console.
Nintendo already has the best first party games on the market, if they get third party support on top of that they will be a very real threat to Sony.
>>332221463
This is either too specific to be false,
or too specific to be true. .
Like, all these details don't really add up in my mind.
I think Nintendo HAS to be aware of how the Wii U was received. Regardless, this is going to make or break my wishes to buy a nintendo console (as opposed to just emulating each console from the previous gen).
For fucks sake though, i don't want to be holding another fucking screen again.
I just want a controller I can toss around and put on the floor without worrying I'm gonna step on what's essentially half the console.
I want to be able to play a game without two big screens in my face. I just want to chill out and
play video games, not engage in the "nintendo experience".
I've been quite loyal to Nintendo cause I love their IPs, and love their approach to games (at least until recently).
Nintendo, please understand what made you great to who truly love video games before you just turn into japanese Microsoft.
>>332230231
People who buy into the corporate Kool-Aid that the console makers spit out [i.e. Sony/MS saying Nintendo isn't competition and Nintendo saying the reverse] are in a little too deep.
>>332222805
if they waste money to make it a second wiiu it's even more dead.
People didn't cry when the PS4 didn't have BC
>>332231432
>People didn't cry when the PS4 didn't have BC
Because they were promised something that would replace it.
>>332223298
lies like that should not be tolerated in any way.
they bring retards who go about Sonydrones, Microshills, Nintenbabies, cucks and the like...
>>332223298
But it's just shitposting at this point. Why not wait for the E3 instead?
>>332221463
Woow. Another underpowered POS. And with expensive shit screen controller? Fuck Nintendo is retarded. Bless their fanbase for staying with this cancerous company.
