This rumour/leak came from Reddit. Iirc the guy couldn't differentiate from DDR5 and GDDR5 leading a lot of people to say it was fake. I was going to make a thread about another NX rumour/leak thing but it was from Reddit so I thought that stuff was not allowed, or at least frowned upon. In either case, here's what the leaker said(btw he works in marketing);

-The console is far more traditional than what Nintendo has been leading people to believe. There will be a screen controller however, but from what I can gather, though it works with the console, it's more of a standalone device and the main controller is 'slightly bulkier pro controller'. Apparently the screen controller has to with Nintendo Reach and Wii U stuff.

-no spec details whatsoever, apart from somewhere between XB1 and PS4, 'powerful and affordable'.

-The handheld nand console share the same OS, some games are shared.

-As per online, only things being pushed are voice chat, cloud saves and My Nintendo Missions

-Wii U backwards compatibility is seemingly locked behind the screen controller. SO it seems if you don't have the screen controller, then no Wii U. I guess.-Could be reading this wrong, as he said Wii U ports are happening-I'll post what he said directly
"you need a handheld for Wii U setting."
"there are 2 settings in the ports"

-There will be a New Animal Crossing game

-The Legend of Zelda game is called The Legend of Zelda: Fields of Dawn-NX version will be slightly upgraded version of Wii U version. Super Mario Underground- uses the scrolling buttons for digging?

-Size of the handheld component will be the bottom part of 3DSXL, will be marketed as 'the full immersion display', has some form of head-tracking.

-Retro is making Nintendo All Stars-an action RPG *I'm betting this is the point where everyone will be calling bullshit, not necessarily for it sounding like bullshit, but not wanting to believe it as well*. How about some more salt though? It's Nintendo's take om Skylanders. - Scheduled for Next Year

-Trev's leaker got fired-apparently it was an embarrassing ordeal

-"So the "real innovation" or hook is going to come along when the portable launches? Split marketing - casual (handheld) and core (console and console+handheld)?"


"basically yeah."

-It comes with controller, console and 5 virtual console games there is also a bundle that comes with MiiWare

-From what I understand, it does use carts, but it seems to be used for the handheld side of things to play its games on the console?

-Nintendo Reach $350

-No real gimmick associated with the console apart from the handheld component and it's interoperability

-How do the games look on the handheld? "Like jaggy Wii U games"-someone says probably 540P screen.

-There will be a late April event.

Take with a mount fuji of salt. But if you start hearing of Nintendo Reach or anything, it might be a good idea to check back there.

this leak sounds more plausable,  but I doubt it's correct.
