New Nintendo Platform Teased at Conference, "NX"

[Soundwave]

My guess on where NX fits to Nintendo

- Fusion platform (most of the games will be shared). There will be a NX home console, and a NX portable (maybe with several variants over time). It will be straight forward to make games work on both systems. DeNA will provide a unified network that lets you seamlessly continue playing the same game at home as you were on your ride home. 

- The handheld will be more powerful than people think, it won't be a rinky dink behind-the-tech curve device like the Game Boy up to the 3DS have been. Reason why is now that Nintendo is making smartphone games, they *really* have to provide a strong reason why someone should choose to pay $40 to play Nintendo games. Just saying "well this one has buttons" isn't good enough.

HD display, HD graphics, console like experience on the go. Book it.

- The home version of NX will have some new kind of quirky gimmick, maybe even several of them like the 3D glasses patent that blows wind and creates smells for the gamer (lol). I am now expecting a non-conventional main controller too.

- NX will be aimed at a slightly older audience at first. Now that Nintendo has smartphone apps, they don't have to worry so much about getting kids right away, iOS/Android can introduce them to Mario and company for free/99 cents, amiibo can cement their Nintendo addiction, and NX can be the final phase of it.
