By the time E3 arrives, we'll know everything about NX without Nintendo saying a word. Come on Nintendo, spill the shrooms.

 


They'll be forced to talk soon at this rate!

But we still don't know anything, fact that Macronix is working NX memory does not saying much.

Memory slots pretty much confirm handheld. Internal storage or an external hard drive would still be the only thing that makes sense for a home console.

There was a patent that showed memory cards used in the hoem console.

Hope this is for handheld. If this is a console... then I'm not even considering it.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

First AMD indicate a new win now Macronix and both from investors meetings as well which are hard to brush off as random rumours.

So 2016 basically confirmed now, first AMD says that they're providing a new SoC for a console releasing this year, and now this. Also, cartridges pretty much confirmed. The thing is, are cartridges being used for NX handheld, NX console, or both? We've had some previous rumors say that both would use cartridges instead of discs.

 

Probably both going by last year's patent, cartridge tech has advanced far enough to be viable forhome platforms again.

Both.

It makes sense if you want a unified software ecosystem (the same game is playable on both the handheld & the console, just at different resolutions).

Question from someone who really doesn't know much about hardware but could this be for SD cards?
