Forums - Gaming Discussion - Eurogamer: Nintendo NX is a portable console with detachable controllers (It also connects to your TV, and runs cartridges)

That's not saying much though. Those who play games like CoD and Witcher would never touch a Nintendo console, so there would be no point in Nintendo trying to compete with Sony and MS.

I play The Witcher, and have a Wii U. Had a Wii, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, and many Nintendo handheld consoles. Care to share more baseless generalisations like that?

He may be dealing in absolutes, which is not applicable in this argument, but there is some truth to what he's saying.

ABTR is always right about video games just i know everything

Nothing suggests NX is a cell phone.

cell phone, tablets, all is the same you can phone call, play games etc... on both

So it was obvious NX wiil be portable and wiil be like that

There's also some truth to the statement "most Nintendo console owners also game on an other console or on PC". Does that mean that most of these people don't play games like the Witcher on their other systems because they play Nintendo games?

I see this as a perfect fit for using the SCD patent they filled some time ago.

I mean, yes, it is a portable device. Everyone saw this coming.

But the dock can be used as a power booster, having an extra APU that combines with the one on the handheld.
They could sell the dock as the console itself.

This would be a heck of a lot more plausible if not for Pokemon Sun and Moon. That's the big holiday earner for Nintendo and I absolutelu do not see them destroying the hype by announcing that the 3DS successor is coming out mere months after Sun and Moon.  

Pokemon Black and White release dates (Start of Gen 5 Pokemon)

Japan September 18, 2010
North America March 6, 2011
Europe March 4, 2011

3DS Release dates (DS successor)

On top of that Black and White 2 released for DS too at an even later date.

As much as I hate them doing it thats not going to stop them.

Nintendo at that time was (in their mind) in a possition of extreme strength, the DS and Wii were monstrous successes.  Nintendo right now is in a position of weakness and really needs a strong win.  That's my rationale there.  The circumstances are different.  Doesn't disprove this, but certainly isn't in its favor.



Bet the docking station is a separate purchase.



I thought Nintendo would learn their lesson by now but I guess not. Well, rip Nintendo consoles...



No one has guessed pricing. $299?
