Come back to http://www.nintendo.co.uk at 16:00 CEST (3pm UK time) for a first look at Nintendo’s next gaming platform, codenamed NX.
This preview trailer will serve as Nintendo’s preliminary announcement of information regarding the platform.

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2016/October/First-glimpse-of-NX-coming-today-at-3pm-UK-time-1148672.html

On the french Nintendo site it says:

"Rendez-vous sur http://www.nintendo.fr à 16:00 pour découvrir la nouvelle console de salon de Nintendo, connue sous le nom de code NX. Cette vidéo de présentation sera un avant-goût des informations qui vous serons révélées sur la console ultérieurement."

"Console de salon" means home console, so...

The wording used makes me think NX is, indeed, a tablet.

Most of us won't take a tablet like device that only plays games outside. No, we would carry it across our home, playing wherever we want, thus making it a "home gaming system".

Also, one of the most liked features of Wii U was the ability to play on the Gamepad without the TV, and I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo picked that idea and improved it, with NX being basically a hardware powered tablet/gamepad to play wherever we want with a dongle or dock to stream the game to the TV. Of course, such tablet would be very power hungry, which would explain why Nintendo calls it a home system, as you'll need to plug it quite often.



Please excuse my bad English.

In spanish it says

"Vuelve a http://www.nintendo.es a las 16:00 (hora peninsular) para ver las primeras imágenes de la nueva plataforma de Nintendo, de nombre en clave NX. Con este tráiler preliminar Nintendo ofrece las primeras informaciones sobre su nueva plataforma."

I linked it a few post a few hours before, but Nintendo was very careful not to call the WiiU a home gaming system during launch, but just a gaming system! We'll see in 10min why NoA now slips home here or there for the NX.

Yes, and they do look silly.

But it's a gaming tablet and Nintendo hasn't used beefy batteries with their latest handhelds, so I don't think this time will be different. That's why you won't be able to take it outside.

Only to your car, if you buy the adaptor to use the with the lighter.

Well that's pretty telling. Everyone praying for it not to be a tablet hybrid can unclinch their butts now.

It may still be a hybrid, but with more focus on the home gaming experience, so let's leave the butts clinched for now...

Those asses are in knots!
