Look at my NX concept:

Well thought out ideas.  From now till E3, it's going to be one very exciting wait!

Yes right, but later they used the codename "DS" which became the final name for the product although Nintendo has planned to change it. But because of strong popularity of the name DS they decided to use it for the final product.


We don't know for sure. Usually Nintendo has the final name out by the year's launch E3, and that was the case with the name DS. I think they always planned to use NDS, as a new NES from the 80's.

What they did was take the "Nintendo" brand and "new" brand switch them over so they could start them over again. With a brand new astral body that didn't exist yet.

I don't care if you believe in this or not, I'm simply using theory. The Nintendo console and Gameboy handheld were sacrificed, in order to create a new "Nintendo" like, this time handheld, which would start over the business, and a new Gameboy. Which is simply a new brand with no "Nintendo" on it, that is the Wii, a console. The new Gameboy.

I think they're either going to combine them in some fashion, OR, it's going to continue as it was in the 90's, we're gonna get a new Nintendo handheld not named DS but with Nintendo still on the name, and the NX will be another Wii. Shockingly. If they're gonna drop the Wii they're going to come up with a brand new name.

What would you like the new system to be called?  (Your top choice if you have one.)

Im glad they went with DS in the end.

$250 was what the Wii came out as and included a really big hit game.  If Nintendo could replicate that debut pack-in game "wow factor" they did in 2006, that'd be pretty awesome.

That is what I am expecting from them. There is 0.0000001% chance of Nintendo replicating the Wii but they can absolutely do a lot better than they have with the Wii U. They need to make it easy for devs to port games from the PS4 and Xbox One to make it cheap and a "no brainer" to port to that way they will get at least solid 3rd party support

Easy third party porting is very important.  I agree.
