So the NES Classic is coming this holiday and imo its feeling a little bit strange.

Why should Nintendo develop and release a new hardware when their next console is right arount the corner. Even if the NES Classic isnt a big thing, it definitly took away some ressources from Nintendos Hardware and Software teams. Ressources that probl should had worked on the NX instead such an unimportant hardware in the past months.

 

So i thought that there may be a reasons for this. Maybe Nintendo already orderes chips for their NX but changed their mind later (we already got rumours about this). Maybe it was to late to cancel that order. So Maybe those chips were obsolete for nintendo and instead of taking a loss and throwing them away, they decided to use them in an NES Classic?

So they might use Tegra x1 chips in the NES Classic to emulate their old NES games and use the X2 in the NX?

 

Some rumours/facts to support this theory:

- Delayed NX release from holiday 2016 to march 2017

- Rumours about changed hardware

- Rumours about the brand new Tegra x2 chip beeing used

- Odd release date of NES Classic (few month before NX)
