Forums - Gaming Discussion - Now the rumors can finally stop: NX is a home console, and not a "fusion/combination" device

There's a 50% chance that the first western game announced to NX will come from Ubisoft, so you can start making guesses: Assassins Creed or Just Dance?


Neither is really what I was hoping for...

If it's just a home console then it will probably do worse than the Wii U...

That would be very very hard, Nintendo really messed up Wii U, I cant see they doing all that same mistakes on next console too.

NX could still be the 3DS successor so it doesn't prove anything.

The fact that DQ11 can run on handhelds makes me believe the NX could also be a dedicated handheld.



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

It's good, at least, to hear that it's not completely turning off third parties at this stage. This could be a hint at the NXs third party offering. It will be interesting to see the first western multiplat confirmation.

I guess the other 50% is Activision with Skylanders?

With today's announcement or DQXI for PS4, as well as for 3DS and NX, it is clear and obvious that NX will actually be a straight up home console, just like all the others before from NES to WiiU.

It is not a fusion device (why make a 3 DS version), it is not Android, it is not any freak of nature...just straight up TV console.

Well, by the time the NX comes out, the 3DS will have a 60m 70m userbase, so I don't think that fully debunks the NX Fusion.

Then again, I'm going to defend the Fusion idea until its fully and oficially debunked.

30%, I'd say.

Given how Wii U worked (I already talk about it in past, how depressing), there's a chance that the first western multiplat is an indie game.

Why wouldn't it be a cross generation handheld game? 3DS will be a 5 year old machine by early 2016, it's on the decline. The DS lifespan wasn't all that much more than 6 years before 3DS came out, and that was wildly successful in comparison to 3DS. There's every possibility that NX is the next handheld and it will be a launch title for NX as well as a 3DS game, so it will capitalise on the 3DS install base as well as attract people to the next handheld generation.
