What do you think it's going to be the biggest factor (deal maker/breaker) for the NX?

Games, games, games, and games. First party, third party, backward compatibility with Wii and WiiU (such as it is)
Fuck its specs.
Also worth noting, Nintendo said yesterday the NX "is not about specs, but about the content"

Is it a proper console or just another gimmicky one? I might buy one if they don't follow Sony/MS smartphone lifecycle faggotry and stay conservative in that regard.
Not really interested in Nintendo consoles anymore, far too many gimmicks since the Wii.

games over gimmicks
hardware that is on a level with current gen rather than rehashed gamecube chips
I always say I want a Nintendo console
Then I remember amiibo and the locked content behind them
And then I notice it's too late for them to stop supporting amiibo because both them and they're sheep fans are too invested in it now
>>341863518
>hardware that is on a level with current gen
Never ever
I don't care about specs so much, but I hope it is a portable or has a portable component.
If it does that could justify a purchase for me either way. I enjoy handheld gaming, and that's something PC doesn't really do.
A Pokemon Mystery Dungeon release on NX.

Why do normies always support nintendo's worst ideas.
>>341863217
If Nintendo region locks the nx I'm not buying it

>Why do normies always support nintendo's worst ideas.
Well obviously, you think 4chan is part of their target audience?
>>341863772
Yes, fucking yes. These games are what made me love roguelikes, and it's a proper roguelike, unlike the indie crap where they just randomise everything.
I heard that gates to infinity was shit, but they managed to come back with super. If NX is actually portable, I honestly think a good Mystery Dungeon and a decent Phoenix Wright might do it for me.

Pffftttt. Hahahaha, like they'd want people to buy their consoles cheaper across seas
Hello NoA.
>>341864070
NDS was region free and its fucking awesome. There was no european release for 999 or the world ends with you but you could just import them.
>>341864210
Yea but do you honestly think they will release a region free console? Nintendo is like one of the most locked down companies.
>>341864121
Hello fellow gamers, are you excited for the upcoming released of the Nintendo (TM) NX? How silly for nintendo to accidentally release such a mystery, right? ha,hah
>>341863217
Gamecube VC and good wii VC
I'll get one eventually anyway unless it's complete trash, but the gimmick determines if I get one at launch or not with which to play Zelda. If the gimmick is good/unobtrusive enough, I'll get Zelda for that, on account of the likelihood of improved performance, but otherwise I'll get the original version.
>>341864343
>Yea but do you honestly think they will release a region free console?
I still dont get why the 3DS was region locked in the first place. It is pretty anti-consumer too.
Will the NX have a region lock? I don't know and have no idea what it will be. I can't even guess.
>>341864512
M-Maybe there won't be an obnoxious gimmick this time, just a simple console and traditional controller.
>>341864546
>Will the NX have a region lock? I don't know and have no idea what it will be. I can't even guess.
I can help you with that.
Yes, yes it will be locked. Like the rest of their consoles
When are they revealing it, anyway? Gamescom?
>>341864210
Region Locking is so idiotic and backwards. It's them literally telling a weaboo consumer "sorry, we don't want your imported money" while fucking over people that have moved.
All of this hassle only to avoid people saving 10 bucks on the latest pokémon. It's just such a strange practice, even sony and microsoft are abandoning it.
why isnt backward compatibility on this list?
>>341864734
There will be a gimmick, but how much it affects Zelda will be the deal maker or breaker at launch for me.
For the record, the Wii U gamepad is what I consider an unobtrusive gimmick, the Wiimote is not.
>>341863217
it will be decided by knowing what the fuck it is, other than a name and the fact that it will have Zelda on it
>>341863217
Games. First party games, third party games, just the games. The Wii U was without a doubt a commercial failure, but it had the most exclusives of any system
>>341864871
It's kind of a given.
>>341864815
I don't know man. A friend of mine is learning japanese and visited japan last year. He bought Pokémon Green for his old Gameboy and it works just fine on his european Gameboy.
Nintendo started region free but ended up going backwards.
>>341864871
Can the WiiU still play gamecube and wii games? If so, I really hope they don't break tradition. It's awesome for a console seeing it can play games from 10 years ago or more.
>>341865046
>but it had the most exclusives of any system
Because you couldn't play most of that shit on other consoles due to gimmicks.
That and most of those are Nintendo titles.
>>341864767
They have actually talked about wanting to do away with the region lock, so it isn't as guaranteed as you might think.
>>341863217
How about ditching the kiddie image? Nintendo has had a problem with that since Gen 4.
>>341865129
Wii yes, GC no.
>>341865129
Yes, but I kind of hope that they do break tradition in this instance. PowerPC is outdated as fuck.
>>341865247
>They have actually talked about wanting to do away with the region lock, so it isn't as guaranteed as you might think.
I can still guarantee you it will be locked. Remember this post on reveal day.
I'm really nervous that my digital games in Wii Mode will be left in the dust and justified with "well, just keep your Wii U forever!"
I have 6 pages of them shits, and they're fucking awesome. Wii had the best catalog of old games ever.
>>341865284
>How about ditching the kiddie image
You know Nintendo target audience? Its not you.
>>341865392
This isn't really founded. As another anon said, the Gameboy-DS were region free, it isn't unheard of and Nintendo has made explicit comments regarding doing away with it.
>>341865284
Underage detected.
>>341865627
I don't know why you keep comparing the handheld released in 2004 to a console in 2016.
They aren't going to go back to region free. It's just makes their consoles less profitable that way.
>>341865494
Kids are the target audience, but they aren't interested in Nintendo any more either. The actual audience is 30 year old men living with their parents.
>>341865780
>Kids are the target audience, but they aren't interested in Nintendo any more either.
What the fuck am I reading. Stop pulling information out your arse m8.
>>341865771
I don't know why you are ignoring the fact that they have explicitly stated that they want to do the very thing you think they'll somehow never do when they have done it in the past.
>>341865284
> kiddie
I'll tell you a secret.
People that worry about their image and whether it's "kiddie," or not, are compensating for something.
>>341863217
If it's some kind of OS or other middleware that works on your existing PC hardware or it fits some sort of mobile niche then I'll consider it.
Otherwise I won't bother with a traditional console + gimmick system, which is probably the path that they'll go, sadly.
I just hate buying extra plastic to play a couple games I otherwise couldn't.

Well if you google it, you can find some quotes fromIwatathat it hasn't been decided yet. Nothing from this year though.
>>341866329
Yes let me dredge up this interview just to satisfy your ignorance and hope that you won't then just backpedal, sounds like fun.
>>341866130
Kind of agree with you. Nintendo has always been the pioneer everyone else followed behind. They do motion controls, suddenly everyone does. If they innovate and don't just do a new shit console, things will be cool.
I wonder if the VR rumors are true.

You didn't.
>>t-that doesn't count because the person who said it is dead!
Why would it count? He mentioned it. That is all, he didn't set anything in stone like you believe.
>I couldn't ask for a more textbook example.
I didn't reverse on any of my statements mate. My original statement is they aren't going to make it region free, and I still stand by that. You still don't know what back-pedalling is.
>>341867506
Your original statement is that there was no source. Source was posted. You backpedaled.
Kill yourself.
No shooters
No platformers

lol
>>341867798
>Reggie confirmed it won't be a powerful system to compete with the new ones...
I think he honestly doesn't know anything about the NX and just made a quick PR statement, but even in his statement he didn't deny that it could be a powerful console, he just said it's not Nintendo's primary aim.
I think they're gonna go somewhere between PS4 and Neo
>people think that wiiu2: nothing but first-party titles! will be enough to buoy the nx, even after we've SEEN that the contrary is true
no multiplats = death again
Nintendo gets flack for not being as powerful but sony also said their ps4 upgraded console isn't going to be as powerful as the scorpio.
>>341868275
>console multiplat
LOL
>>341868569
feel free to sink into tarry denial as deeply as you like, anon, but the fact is that shit like CoD, TES, Fallout, Destiny all sell an absolute truckload of licenses/discs, and draw in the mainstream userbase.
>>341866113
>have done it in the past
No Nintendo home console has ever been region free.
>>341868876
This thread is about what will get you personally to buy the system, not your sales predictions, dumb NeoFAG.
>>341869324
Yes, if you pop in the "home" modifier this becomes true. Until the 3DS, no Nintendo HANDHELD system had region lock. Does this make it unbelievable that 3DS would get it?
>>341869854
>implying the two aren't inextricably linked
please, use your brain a little bit, anon.
>>341870003
That's false, though. The DSi was the first region locked system.
And yes, if someone on /v/ claimed the DSi would be region locked I would not have believed it. It would have literally been unbelievable to me as a pre launch rumor.
>Having said that, what will attract even more partners to our platform — which, of course, is something we'd like to do — is having a piece of hardware that provides interesting ways for these companies to bring their game creations to life, one that's easy to program and work on, and that has a large enough install base of game fans that are looking for a variety of content.
Isn't this what they said about the Wii U? That's not gonna fly if it's a weak ass portable.
>>341870835
Did you suddenly forget the power gap between gameboy/game gear, DS/PSP, 3DS/Vita?
Weak ass portables are where Ninty gets the best support.
>>341863217
Hardware.
Wii U backwards compatibility would be day 1 purchase since I can sell the Wii U.
I hope Nintendo dies. What a fucking shit company. Selling overpriced shit hardware. Do I even need to mention amiibos? Why do people buy this shit?
>>341871262
...well, then that would basically confirm it's a portable, then.
Because that statement then becomes relative, and it's certainly not true if Nintendo isn't switching to x86 or something more standard (which is indicated by the few seemingly correct leaks, so far, plus just how wonky Nintendo has been for third parties in the past).
no kiddie shit
not the same boring nintendo franchises
>>341863217
Super Mario Galaxy 3
Monster Hunter on Consoles
A good Zelda (Breath of the Wild looks like shit)
and lastly either no gimmick or a small gimmick that's actually cool/useful or whatever to set it apart from the PS4.
In not buying any nintendo product until paper mario is fixed
>>341863217
First party games, now that every 3rd party game is coming to PC I don't care if Nintendo has multiplat 3rd party support or not, I'm going to buy the superior PC version anyways.
