!!!NX CONFIRMED X86!!
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SONIGGERS KILLED THEMSELVES?
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoNX/comments/4dbau3/you_survived_the_af_lockdown_now_claim_your_reward/
please spoonfeed a béotien, what does having an X86 means?
>>333170918
possibly more powerful than PS4/XB1, since those have x86 too.
>>333170918
It means it's the same architecture as xbone, PS4, and PC and would make creating and porting games much easier.
Would also make regular backwards compatibility near impossible though unless they try some cuhrazy emulation foolery like the xbone.
>>333170918
>what does having an X86 means?
architecture, how the games are written for the machine to read and run em.
PS4 and Xbone have x86 arch, same as PC, meaning that porting a game to NX should be close to copy Paste from PS4 or Xbone ports.
>>333171014
In this case, Nintendo is fucked. This is already old technology.
Nintendo is doing the same mistake than with the Wii U (who is a bit more powerful than the PS3 and the X360). If this is next gen, it shouldn't be as powerful the competitor consoles of this current gen (aka the power of the PS4 and the XBOne), but step it up to be on par with the other Next gen consoles coming.
>>333170768
If they just have actually manage comparable specs to the PS4.5 I'll regain some of my faith in Nintendo.
>>333171315
nigga this isn't next gen, it's still gen 8. Gen 8 will end in maybe 4-5 years, with PS4.5 on the horizon and NX.
>>333171406
NX is Gen 9
All that matters to me is whether it's region locked or not.
>>333171521
>nx is gen 9
stop this meme
Nx is going to be below xbone power.
>>333171762
Why would you assume that?
>>333171521
It's actually gen 8.5
>>333171315
They'll be okay if they're competitive hardware-wise with the PS4.5 and Sony sticks to it's 8-10 year plan.
Nintendo doesn't sell hardware at a loss, they just need to make back R&D costs.
Sony will have to keep supporting the original PS4 giving NX a slight edge
But I honestly have no faith Nintendo will actually make the smart move.

>>333171406
>>333171521
>>333171669
If NX is the successor to the Wii U, then it is new gen.
But I have got to admit, with Sony going with a PS4.5, Mycrosoft talking about being able to upgrade an Xbone, and Nintedo saying NX isn't meant to replace the Wii U (yeah, right...), I am more and more wondering if we aren't seeing the coming of a Gen 8.5
This does not reasssure me.
But damn, does Gen 8 loom to be very short. With the Wii U being the oldest one and just being 4 years old now, this might be the shortest generation so far for home consoles.
Wait why are you guys celebrating an x86 architecture in fucking 2016?
64 bits are a thing.
generations are a marketing word that isn't tied to any sort of actual technology, it's just a convenient time frame in witch several systems are in competition.
>>333171762
NX is being released 3 years after the PS4 and Xbone, so not likely.
>>333172192
x86 = x86_64 by default now m8.
>>333172192
Because Nintendo fans are just as stuck in time as the company they support

So this.. is the power... of the NX...
makes sense with the patent about multiplat friendly architecture.
the PS4.5 might even play NX games and vice versa if the patent is used.
Does this mean emulation?
>>333173215
You're a fucking idiot dude.
What's even the fucking point of producing consoles anymore if they're all x86 PCs anyway?
>>333172810
I kind of agree shitposter-kun, it'd be nice If Nintendo released a console that didn't immediately become obsolete in terms of power.

that's not how it works though, hardware dev take age, so they are likely to have started it around the same time as the 360. if PS4.5 happens to be real, it was already in the work at PS4 launch.
>>333172774

Too little, too late. Nintendo no longer even registers on the radar of an average AAA game buyer.

that all three major platforms are gonna basically be DRM-locked variants of the same gaming laptop guts made by AMD.
It also would imply no backwards compatibility with Wii U/Wii/GC, which were all PowerPC (IBM/Motorola/Apple collaboration).
>>333174114

So the games that SE, Namco and Capcom games have made for the 3DS aren't AAA?

The way i see it there's AAA for Consoles/PC and AAA for handheldd.
Fates and Luigi's Mansion are AAA for handhelds imo

This has been known since AMD announced shit.
Will be interesting if they make the effort to get Wii/Wii U BC shit working.

3DS has good 3rd party support (by Nintendo standards at least) but it is decidedly not AAA. People who buy AAA hypeshit don't buy handhelds at all.

>>333175295
I imagine so. And you'd assume that once you've done one, that will translate to all three, giving ample incentive.
Of course, the requirements are going to be high given the shared fast memory, even with shitty console CPUs.

Only if Nintendo are too lazy to write an emulator like Microsoft.
If I were Nintendo, I'd write an emulator for Wii/GC and just port the Wii U library than working on a super-efficient emu like MS.
>>333174645
>The last time they defined anything
The Wii made Microsoft and sony engage into motion control (not specifcially a good thing, but it's still the Wii who popularised that trend).
The Wii U popularised remote play and double screen intraction. Even PC has got games that rely on tablet for double screen play.

The 360 also had development time since the Xbox, which you conveniently left out, it was already outdated on release. So then Nintendo the geniuses that they are decided to use the already outdated hardware and then take 7 years to release it.
>>333171315
Holy shit this post is the dumbest thing I've read all day.
Newsflash: x86 is what literally every desktop PC also uses. And it has been this way since the fucking 80's. Surprise surprise, architecture =/= hardware capabilities.

CPU instruction set used in desktop PCs. It's really not a complicated idea. They're cheap and fast because they've had a ton of development because of PCs.
>>333175910
You can pretty much substitute "x86" with any technical term out there and that post is still accurate. Being tech-unsavvy is one thing, but the average /v/ goer is also really loud and more than happy to yell his opinions and imagined facts at everyone, which is then parroted on by other morons

Part of me wonders if Nintendo would be more successful making a cheap low-powered $100 console that can run handheld games. People clearly don't want to pay $300 just to play $60 Nintendo games.
If Nintendo was smart, they would have turned the Wii into a low-cost casual TV platform (ala Apple TV/Chromecast etc) with apps and games on the side

Wait, since when did PS 4.5 been confirmed? All of it are just planning on Sony's part. also how is this a bad thing when Nintendo already did it and plans do it again with.....oh wait it's only acceptable when Nintendo does it.

Officially, Nintendo has claimed it's meant to replace neither the N3DS not the Wi U, but the last time Nintendo made that kind of announcement, it turned out to be complete BS.

While I think the NX will replace the Wii U, they weren't lying about the DS. That was the plan, for it to be a 3rd platform, but no one bought the GBA Micro.
>>333177909

They released the DS at the same time than the Micro, saying the DS was not meant to replace GBA, but this is not how things turned out.

We have no fucking idea what the NX is nor when it will come out.
I mean, if it came out in late 2017, that would make the Wii U a 5 years gen console, which is the normal span of life of a generation. People tend to forget that Gen 7 was exceptionally long.

You can use Vita for PS4. Also regular PC remote play is coming soon (there's also an unofficial program for it available, as well. But it's not the greatest).

What about it?
>>333175382
This is what i'm hoping.
When they announced the terminantion of the WiiU production, they stated that SOME of the components would be discontinued, it could be that some parts actually continue to be manufactured to integrate into the NX

Do you also avoid the cinema in favor of watching them on your full LED displays at home?

Nintendo is garbage. You just don't know what the fuck technology is.

Maybe you should learn math Nintencuck
Sounds really uninspiring, to be honest. It'll fit right in.

When did they publicly announce they were working on their next home console?

it's a family of intel processors that's been around since 1978. They share the same instruction set and architecture. Pretty much any modern PC proc is part of that family. Also x64 is a 64-bit version of x86
>>333183569
Exactly. It looks like dogshit unless you emulate with shaders and overlays.

One thing we know for sure, the R&D cost for the NX is quite huge.

That's USD too.
Wii U's R&D was $370 million according to this:

Nintendo spent $1 billion dollars on Gekko alone during the Gamecube era.
If anything, the price indicates that's probably just a box with largely off the shelf stuff in it. The real question is whether they went with an APU or not, which would give us a little bit more insight as to which direction they are taking it.

And yet you can play NES, SNES, GBA, and DS games on a big screen with your Wii U. But 3DS games would look too terrible for that, you're right.
Saying the NX will use x86 is probably the safest "leak" you could ever make, can you fucking imagine if Nintendo is insane enough to use something else?
>>333188823
But that's like $80M without inflation

>This is already old technology.
Go read up on what x86 actually is and when its current iteration was developed.
>>333176886
It would be too expensive to tape a WiiU to NX.

>insane enough to use something else
There are other options out there they could pursue, they probably just don't feel confident enough to deviating from the other two and still getting third party support.
