Seems like the disc drive discussion kinda overshadowed everything, perhaps we could have a discussion thread about two of the other revelations that seem to stem from that patent, which to me are more interesting anyway. Assuming that patent applies to the NX then: 1.) The NX controller has an LCD screen on it 2.) The NX can automatically check the game and scale it up or down, which hints again very strongly at the idea of shared home/portable games that simply scale up or down based on hardware. Thoughts on these possible revelations? |
1. I don't have anything else an LCD screen, but if they don't use it in a better way than the Wii U did, and if they can't actually make games where it works with multiple pads, 'd rather it be scraped.
2) I'm a little weary about this. There are smaller series and experiments like Kid Icarus Uprising, Codename Steam, and so on that are enabled because of the lower budget of handhelds. I'm worried such games will fall by the wayside if every game is expected to be playable on both systems. I'd have to see how it works more.
Course patents don't mean all that much. I remember patents flowing around before the Wii and DS releases that were way off from the final project.
