Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What, exactly, do you think NX will be?

Fusion between handheld and home console.

My guess is it'll be a fusion console just like the PSP Go.

By adding in the portable feature it'll give Nintendo an excuse to continue to use low-end specs since they're not interested in high-end specs. Probably looking like Vita-type games at best.

Nintendo not being interested in high end tech does not mean they will downgrade to lesser hardware besides that's not at all what Miyamoto meant



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

NX will be a platform that contains an mobile, portable and home console variants. Only the mobile portion will not contain the same library as the other two 'consoles'.

NX will remain lower overall power but should be in the realm of PS4/XB1 and at a lower hardware costs. Likely ~$200 for portable and ~$300 for home.

NX will build off of WiiU/3DS OS as that is becoming the NintendOS going forward to ensure parity between current and future hardware.

Same eShop, NNID, apps, VC, etc.

Compatible with WiiU Gamepad, Pro Controller, and Wiimotes (all flavors).
Plays WiiU games (you may need gamepad separately).
Comes with Pro Controller of sorts.

That's my pitch.

I think the NX is the new handheld, if not that then i think its like the fusion idea, but i dont think its the next home console


The Fusion idea would basically be the next console. It would be the successor to both the 3DS and Wii U in that case. 

oh ok, yeah i dont think that then



I'm just going to have to bump the official nx thread every single day until people get that one thread is enough.

I may have over-exaggerated, but pretty much I just don't expect the NX to be as powerful as PS4/XB1.  Would be nice though.

Personally all that matters to me is that I hope the NX is the fusion idea.  I've had so much fun with my PSP Go and even it wasn't top graphics the whole handheld/home console feature was very nice.



I'm hoping for it to be a home console that will try to innovate with its OS and software, rather than Nintendo trying and failing to innovate and create a smash hit like the Wii/DS

A gaming device by Nintendo.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

triangular in nature, it will be unveiled as the nintendo game pyramid and will be the greatest console of all time.



A game system, like Iwata said :D
