So, the first Nx handheld rumor surfaced. Since Sony is done with handhelds, anyone planning on getting the Nx handheld ? For me I always buy Nintendo handhelds a year or 2 after launch, but this time if japanese 3rd parties support it (the ones that support Sony like falcom and Namco), I might dive in at launch especially as Sony basically abandoned ship and I probably wouldn't buy a Sony handheld at launch even if they didn't.

Of course i'll buy an NX handheld, since I bought every Nintendo and Sony handheld since the Gameboy Color (not every iteration, only one model each generation).

Will I buy the first model of NX handhelds? Probably not, most Nintendo handhelds had serious flaws in their first iteration that were fixed in the second model:

  • I'm glad that I waited for the GB Color (didn't like the monocrome display of the original Gameboy)
  • I'm very glad that I waited for the GBA SP... sooo much improvements compare to the first GBA model: much better readable display (due to frontlight and reduced reflections), better pocketable (size and weight reduced while keeping the display size and a great battery life), screen protection (due to clamshell design), better buttons
  • I'm glad that I waited for the DS Lite (sleeker design, brighter screens, better battery life than the first DS model)
  • I'm glad that I waited for the 3DS XL (bigger screen, much better battery life, much better case than the first 3DS model)
