No, we don't really know anything. All we can do is take rough guesses at what parts they might be using, but it still hasn't been confirmed that Nintendo is actually working with AMD. It's just assumed.

Because we know how Nintendo operates and has operated since the Wii. The NX will almost certainly be an underpowered, gimmicky toy with heavy emphasis on amiibos and archaic online that no third parties will want to develop for because developing around whatever gimmick it has will be too much of a pain in the ass.

The only reason why I might pick this up is due to 3rd party sequels to good 3DS games. I gave Nintendo a lot of leeway this generation, and while some games have impressed me, it's not enough to be buying a new console.
>>
>>333660460
It's a fact though.
If Nintendo integrates what makes the 3DS great into their console, they'll have a monopoly in Japan.

>>333653132
Of course. I had a Wii and played my share of games, I don't think I beat any of them besides Brawl's subspace mode and Wii Bowling. The games just weren't fun and I wasn't driven to see all they had and win.

I love how neocuck loves to ignore how the 3DS is the best system this gen with the largest third-party support.
You think the dudebro braindead scum that bought the PS4 checked the specs before paying?
The same niggers that claim the PS4 is stronger than current PCs?
The WiiU did poorly because Nintendo didn't spend millions on marketing like Sony, that's all.
It had nothing to do with the hardware.

When they are competing against this and they haven't even got a console out the door while PS4 is continuously building it's market share and attracting more developers on board and netting software by the day you bet your ass negativity is settling in.

Getting a console out the door, is one thing, forging and installbase on it, getting third party support, building a first party line up that isn't shit all while the spotlight is on you is another thing entirely.

Nintendo has an uphill battle to fight and and they fucking deserve every second of it for getting so comfortable with the wii and setting their standards so low. Even now they still have to outscore hardware R&D because they're fucking outdated and unorganized.

Everything about the NX is working against it. Goodluck Nintendo convincing people to buy the NX with the current state of your company.

Look at the sales in Japan.

>>333662727
What makes the 3DS great is that it's effectively the only portable handheld game device out there. Vita exists but it's failed to sell everywhere. Phones, despite their ubiquity, are touch-screen only. 3DS is the only way to play games requiring buttons and a thumbpad on the go.

That's fairly pointless with a console.

They have near 90% market share in Europe and have market share in multiple countries. The rate in which the PS4 is selling is faster than that of the PS2 as well, support is 3 times the PS3, you have no idea how many games Sony is currently making and/or have their hand in development right now.

Wouldn't the NX, if it's coming out this year, have largely been finalized before Iwata died? I'd imagine at this point it's probably down to last minute spec changes like a little more ram or maybe a slightly higher clock.

Nintendo is using mobile like Sega, as a marketing and promoting platform, not a gaming one.
Plus the 3DS userbase moving directly onto the NX is not an if, Japan couldn't care less about Sony.

Right, I've read the same interview. It sounded like he thought the problem was more the branding and marketing. It's not really clear how he felt about the hardware or the games. And coming from a banking background, I'm not sure he'd have much to add on that front.
>>
>>333663605
Nintendo has NEVER managed to drive their portable userbase to any of their consoles, and they've been trying since the n64. It is not going to happen, outside making the NX a portable system... in which case, it won't be a console.

Sure, they could make the NX portable and NX console fully compatible and even the same games for both. But that wouldn't increase the console's sales all that much. Heck, it could just as easily reduce them due to console-only people preferring to just switch to handheld.

How would this work? I understand the reference Iwata made was like iOS and the iPhone/iPad with various apps/games working across all devices, but typically there's a larger performance spread between a console and portable than there is between a smartphone and a tablet.

Bayonetta wasn't even that good, it's nothing you'd buy a system for. You playthrough it once and leave it, that's the type of game it is.

They have a better chance at releasing a hybrid than a standard console with a gimmick.

However, by releasing a handheld/console hybrid the hardware will be underpowered by design, not that Nintendo games even need cutting edge technology. The are many other problems with a hybrid device.

Current technology allows it.
There's plenty of discussion about it on neogaf of all places.
The common theory is some of the library would be shared and the architecture would allow for an ease of portability between both form factors.
But you don't really need any rumor to know that Iwata stated consoles and handheld needed to have more connectivity as a reason to merge both departments.
Plus even the most clueless analyst can come to that conclusion by just looking at sales numbers in Japan.

>>333664914
NX console/portable are supposed to have a shared or similar OS and development software. This was specifically talked about when Smash 3DS/Wii U was released, seeing as how one of the largest development hurdles in those games was making them compatible due to the very different development needed between both devices. In addition, a lot of developers were apparently not familiar with developing for the Wii U, even when they were making 3DS games.

The main point of NX is to get around both problems, encouraging 3rd party developers to both develop on console (more games) and to promote cross-platform games on both. It's doubtful that they will both have the same library, as the console would (supposedly) have better hardware than the handheld, but it should be possible to put most of the handheld library onto the console as a result.
>>
>>333665262
One look at the archive shows you the majority of recent Nintendo-related threads are the same vague "What went wrong?" "Who /selling Wii U/ here?" or "Post negative predictions for NX" shitposting and its been going on for a while.
>>
>>333665387
>common theory is some of the library would be shared
But that means cartridges on a console, discs on a portable, or no physical distribution of software.
>the architecture would allow for an ease of portability
So you think they'd be sharing similar architecture between the console and the portable?

>encouraging 3rd party developers to both develop on console
3rd-parties want AAA blockbusters and that's it, so until Call of Duty and AssCreed start moving millions on Nintendo's platforms 3rd-party support is largely out.

There was NOTHING stopping any of these big publishers from making Wii U games on comparatively tiny budgets. The problem is that 3rd-parties can't/won't sustain themselves on smaller titles any more, it's AAA blockbusters or bust. The unsustainable AAA model is largely why all three consoles have fucking nothing for games. Games cost too much to make and publishers only want to make what's safe and generic to make sure it sells 5-10 million copies.
>>

>>333666505
It's already easy, they just don't sell on Nintendo's platforms. Wii U had plenty of ports early on but no one bought them. People just don't play western AAA games on Nintendo's platforms, that's all there is to it.

Better hardware won't magically change that, ditching the bloated AAA model so publishers will be willing to make more risky, niche and AA games again would mean more support for all platforms. Making those games used to make a buck, but not anymore so publishers don't bother.

The problem is that 3rd-parties want to make little beyond these AAA blockbusters. They can't sustain themselves on smaller titles, marketing costs are astronomical and we keep getting less and less with each game so they can keep their investors happy and seeing growth. It's not sustainable, console market as a whole has been shrinking since ~2010.
>>
>>333666361
>3rd-parties want AAA blockbusters and that's it
That doesn't explain the popularity of 3DS titles.

If every 3DS developer could sell their game on the Wii U with just an okay, you'd better believe that they would go for it. And if they did, then the Wii U library would nearly double. There still wouldn't be AAA titles on the system, but there would be a much larger library available.

That's what Nintendo is attempting with the NX.
>>
>>333666578
>Third parties
Won't matter, they won't do anything beyond a few half-asked ports that won't sell because the demographics aren't the same.

Instead of making games that actually would sell on a Nintendo platform, pubs will just say "The console hasn't sold enough for us to make games" again or something equally as stupid and backward to justify the fact that all they publish is shallow AAA trash.
>>
>>333666996
Western 3rd-parties, sorry, meant to be more specific. People harp on and on and on and on about how Nintendo needs to court these huge western AAA pubs with better hardware so it can play a port of AssCreed while completely misunderstanding the entire situation.

It's about demographics, not hardware, and AAA pubs only want to make safe, generic AAA blockbusters because they make the most money. AA in the west is dead, and those kinds of games would have probably done just fine welling on Wii U. If Nintendo can get devs/pubs supporting 3DS now to keep supporting NX they'll be fine I agree, western 3rd-parties are targeting a demographic that just does not play on a Nintendo platform.

Agreed. Most of these people don't even seem to realize that Assassin's Creed is on the Wii U, or that Call of Duty had games on the Wii.

The NX is going to be another Wii named console with shit hardware and gimmicky shit.
Every step forward Nintendo takes, it takes 3 steps back.
So yeah, I have been negative since they announced it. It's going to be alot of false promises and disappointments. And the worst part is that nintendrones will pretend like its alright.

On that matter the "PS4.5" is also gonna be shit, and Sonyggers are gonna defend it as well.

This generation of consoles came way too early and now they have to scramble to update the systems into something not shit. Which will fail.
>10 year life cycle for consoles.

Also prepare for all the false-flagging that's gonna flood /v/.

so what you're saying is this is Xbox's time to take over

Isn't Wii U doing at least decent in Japan, considering the general downward trend of consoles over there? Nintendo needs to find a way to claw back some market share in the US.

What would that even mean? It's just PS4 Slim+ and not a new console anyway.

I heard Phil Spencer said that he wasn't keen on the idea of an Xbone 1.5, so I honestly don't think they are gonna do anything other than try to integrate xbone/w10 shit.

Even if they did a 1.5, would anyone buy it at this point?

if the generation is ending, keeping pace is key if they want to keep up with their competitors, 4 years may seem short, but it's on par with other generations

I have no faith in Nintendo anymore.

>>333671448
>every having faith
>even when bigger and better companies came on to the scene
the only reason nintendo got so entrenched in the industry is because they filled the gaming void left behind during the crash, now we can't get rid of them

>Already have DMC

Wasn't Bayo 2 announced when Capcom was trying to convince everyone to love Donte

>This generation of consoles came way too early

The last generation went on too long. The current gen was long overdue. And the biggest drag on this current gen so far hasn't been hardware, but a scarcity of outstanding games on each console.

Nintendo saving Bayo2 was a great, bold move, and should have been the beginning of a new era of Nintendo welcoming/embracing/encouraging more 3rd parties back to them, like they had in the SNES days, but they dropped the ball, and Bayo2 ended up being a one-off. Then they fell back into their usual flaw of being too comfortable and reliant on their classic IPs (Mario, Smash, etc.), and not having much else to offer.

PS4 had no worthwhile, non-last-gen-rehash games until last year, continuing into this year now.

XB1 is just fucking irrelevant. Their only unique, worthwhile offering is Halo...if you even like Halo. Otherwise, it's an inferior PS4.

I think the PS4 is heating up now, and will continue to as long as they keep coming out with games.

Nintendo on the other hand...yeah, their next console really needs to captivate people, because they're losing this gen right now, and I currently don't see a way for them to try to bounce back in it.

That is very true, I would have liked this generation to have at least lasted to more years.
But to me this generation feels like it started on it's back legs and alot of the released games have been remakes and remasters.
>>
I can't see them getting off to a good start, whether it's a handheld or a console. If it's a handheld, it would be a safe bet that they are going to introduce a new version of it within two year, making the original less appealing, how the XL is with the OG 3DS. If they release a console, their is the fear that it won't have good third party support, or that people who own a Wii U won't want to upgrade immediately. So their is some negativity set in for me, but we have to see what they reveal at E3 before I'm able to change my attitude towards them.

It will either burn and fail and Nintendo will finally take a fucking step back and start from scratch.

Or
It will be successful.

Really a win win either way as long as you don't buy it right out of the gate.

>>333672710
You make a good point Anon.
I don't know if current Nintendo is going to be able to learn from past mistakes and bounce back.
Maybe Yakuza Ojii-san will force them to shape up.

>>333674027

I don't know either, but I sure hope so. I've always loved them, and still do, but they need to step it up. They declared at the beginning of the gen that they wanted to get "hardcore" gamers back, but they have yet to truly really act on that. At best, you can say they've just gotten somewhat less casual-pandering, like they were in the Wii days, but that's not good enough.

I think the last generation was about right. When you take big initial losses on hardware it's only natural to stretch it as far as it can go.

The lack of top notch games really isn't a problem of hardware at this point. It's down to how long big games take to get out the door at this point.

My "review" of Memetendo

posting in a children's thread
he buys expensive Fischer-Price toys

Iwata
a failed businessman, the trick code monkey fraud of the group. knows two tricks: forced laughter and dying. Brava Iwata, brava!

Reggie
a failed viral marketer with an ugly wife and children with terrible names ('myson fils-amie?'). he knows he's the least popular employee and desperately tries to fit in by making Reddit-tier jokes

Miyamoto
an over-the-hill "developer" weighed down by his talentless cronies. only makes simplistic video games because they're immune to criticism. his latest production 'The Nintendo NX' will expose him as a fraud and be a spiritual and economic disaster. He will eventually go the route of gunpei yokoi , shrivel up and die at the ripe age of 80

Bill
the curdling definition of a parasite. ditters away on social media on while the men do all the hard work. got caught buying jewelry with actual devlopment budget money.

Sakurai
the only dev showing any self-improvement or growth. still has a long way to go, but has already outgrown Nintendo.

I like how Memetendo is a company founded upon innovation, insulting and berating others and their works, but HEAVEN FORBID that anyone criticize them! They'll even ban you from miiverse if they catch a whiff of dissatisfaction. It's amazing how creatively lazy the company has become. They were better when they were a starving group. Now they can sit on their fat asses, put on puppet shows and make bad facebook memes while you throw money at the screen. Amazing.

this might be the greatest parody of an autistic Neogaffer / Redditor that I have ever seen

Brava Anon, Brava!
