Verified NeoGAF member has posted a bunch of NX leaks. Now updated with gimmicks, Luigi's Mansion and other stuff

I find it surprising that so many people know how the hardware is despite Nintendo not giving away dev kits, they must have some great crystal balls!

I don't believe half of this new batch of rumors.

$400 is a lot, Nintendo should press AMD to give it to them for $350 and push on their LCD providers too.

Nintendo can't really press AMD much, because they are their only option. IBM doesn't make GPUs and Nvidia is not only more expensive than AMD, but they have left a bad reputation in their past console contributions.

It could literally just be a second GPU or something, much like a streamlined version of Crossfire setups on PC. 

If you have a home NX maybe SCD upgrades the graphics to 2K-4K resolution. 

If you have a portable NX, maybe buying a SCD upgrades the system to home NX quality so you don't neccessarily have to buy the console. 

...This sounds like science fiction. I'm going to learn what this is more because I clearly don't understand this thing enough.

The SCD could be a variation of AMD's XConnect, which allows laptops to use desktop graphic cards through an enclosure. The key point for that to work is to have a connexion with enough bandwidth to allow both devices to "talk" to each other without problems (like latency), and that kind of connexion is Thunderbolt 3/USB-Type C.

So if NX has a USB-Type C connector, then it may have a SCD, but if it doesn't, I won't count on it.
