| Hedra42 said: There was ambiguity about what form the NX would take from the start. Iwata called NX a "dedicated game platform with a brand new concept". On the same page, there is a slide describing the NX as a "dedicated game system". Both can be seen here http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2015/150317/03.html To me, that suggests a likelihood that it will be hardware of some sort, and that it will run alongside Wii U and 3DS under the new membership service, at least for the short term. |
Yes, this is direct Iwata quote on this:
'As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename “NX.” It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year.'
This could mean a home console, a portable console, a mix of both (rumoured 'fusion') or smth completely different (phone/tablet/android device etc).
