Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So...NX is a "New Way of Playing Games"... I'm Scared

Whoever thought it would be powerful are abnormally hopeful.

I agree and disagree at the same time. Nintendo has had the most powerful console on the market at one time and they've had the weakest. NES was less powerful than Master System and they killed it, SNES was more powerful than genesis...it barely edged it out. N64 was more powerful than PS1...and PS1 tore it to shreds. That's what would end up haunting Nintendo for years to come, not adapting to new generation standards and losing 3rd party support. Gamecube, yeah we know how that went. Even beat by a newcomer to games. Then something interesting happened, Nintendo changed. Iwata was now the head of Nintendo. The Wii and DS came out and killed the handheld and console markets, no questions asked. They found a way to be themselves and make a crap ton of money.

So, I would like to think NX would be powerful but then again, it doesn't need it for its purposes. PS4 and Xbone have that corner covered. I figure Nintend will do their own thing and try to reach out to hardcore and causal gamers alike. I'm just saying, it's not expensive to make a powerful console that 3rd parties can use.

It's a bit early to jump to conclusions if you ask me. Let's wait until Nintendo actually says something concrete about the NX.
