The only sad story for FF VII R is - timed exclusive for PS. Nintendo is the real home of FF series.  and nowadays there shouldn't really be something like timed exclusives.  I just hope that FF VII R, would be atleast on par with the PS version, in terms of graphics, content, etc. (maybe having NX having on par with PS4).

Imagine adding Amiibos to FF VII R characters, it would sell a ton. Additional money to SE and Nintendo - $$$$$. That could really push that version a bit better than PS, hopefully they already have that idea. 

amiibos pushing the game for nx more than being first on playstation, so you think the game on nx could sell more than on playstation?

I'm saying that it could have additional content with Amiibo unlocks for NX.  Wont bet that it would sell more than PS4 since PS4 already have a good installbase to begin with.  

ah ok the push part in your cooment was a bit confusing to me.

An NX version of FF VII R with Amiibo can push sales, but you can't predict that a new console against an established 20M installbase.

Those Amiibos would still sell on their own even for PS4 owners just for collectibles.

I will buy the NX as soon as any one of these happen:
-New Pokemon
-New 3D Mario
-New Zelda(including Zelda U)
-New Fire Emblem
-New Super Smash Bros
-New Paper Mario

Although, if the NX launches with a ton of third party games that I want, I'll buy it then also, but these games are the games that I would be willing to buy an NX exclusively for.

Assuming the NX launches next year and is a home console (presumably one roughly on par with the PS4), that's a very odd time for a console to be launching. It'll be coming out when the PS4 and XBO at their peaks. Basically it's being released right smack in the middle of the current generation. So, what gen would that make the NX? Would it be ninth-gen because it follows Nintendo's eighth-gen system? Or would it be considered an eighth-gen system as well since it's being released around the PS4 & XBO's third birthdays, and possibly three years before the PS5 & Xbox 4? We've never had a console release in the middle of a generation before, so it presents kind of a puzzle on how we classify it.

 

It would be a 9th gen platform and the have been occasions when consoles launch earlier then others the Megadrive aka Genesis and 360 both did the same.

Not this early, though. The Genesis came out five years after the Famicom was released in Japan, though it did have a two-year head start on the SNES. Even in the U.S. where the NES wasn't launched until 1985, the Genesis was released much closer to the SNES than to the NES (this was back when Japan got everything first). Also, the Genesis was also clearly a superior system to the NES in terms of power, so it was a generational leap in that regard. The Genesis was hardly a mid-generation launch and was unambiguously a 16-bit/4th-gen console. Meanwhile, the 360 only had a one-year head start on the PS3 & Wii; it was clearly a seventh-gen system.

If the NX releases next year, that's only three years after the PS4 & XBO launched, and perhaps three years before the PS5 & Xbox 4 launch. It's also likely only going to be on par with the PS4 in terms of power. Given the timing and likely specs, it's not exactly cut-and-dried as to what generation the NX belongs to. We've never really had a situation like this before.

 

Master System the platform released to compete with the Famicom only came out only 3 years before Genesis arrived. So yes it has happened this early in fact the Genesis was out earlier with the Master System only out for 3 years.

Technically, the system released in the U.S. & Europe as the "Master System" was released in Japan as the Sega Mark III, which was itself basically an upgraded SG-1000. The Mk. III had the same processor as the SG-1000, clocked at the same speed, but it had more RAM and better graphical capabilities. So, the Master System was to the SG-1000 like what the New 3DS, DSi, and Atari 7800 were to the 3DS, DS, and Atari 5200 and was not a truly new "next-gen" system. The SG-1000 was released in 1983, the same year as the NES, and both it and the SMS are considered third-gen consoles as they are technically part of the same product line.

So, once again, the situation with the NX is wholly unique. It's not a mere upgrade of the Wii U, and is apparently going to be roughly on par with PS4. It's eighth-gen-level hardware released in the middle of the eighth generation. But on the other hand it is a follow-up to the Wii U, which based on release timing is inarguably an eighth-gen console. There's never been an instance where one of the major consoles in a generation were underpowered compared to the others (the Wii U is far closer to the PS3 than to the PS4) and was replaced while the generation was ongoing by a system that was on par with the competition's pre-existing current-gen consoles.

 

Sega Mark III was released in Japan in 1985 which is the date I've been going by, it being an upgraded SG-1000 doesn't change the situation at all because Wii was an upgraded GC, they're still separate platforms and the following platform was a successor. Using a similar processor doesn't make it the same platform otherwise you're saying the SG-1000 and the ZX spectrum are the same platform because the NEC 780C was a clone of the Zilog chips and in fact the Master System used the latter not the former so the situation is still the same Megadrive came out 3 years after it's predecessor and Master System came out 2 years after it's predecessor. NX is not a unique situation.

So, this will be my first post in this thread and I feel like maybe I should have started reading this one a lot earlier, but hey, better late than never amarite? I've been missing all kind of cool rumours as of late, like that NX could possibly use cloud computing to boost it's specs artificially. I like that idea! If Nintendo could get that tech to work, it could truly revolutionize the industry and compete with the PS5 graphically - IF you have superb internet connection.

What's this community's take on that rumour?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Any ideas regarding the NX's controller? I've read somewhere that it could have scrollable shoulder buttons, and I think that's pretty damn cool.

I think Nintendo could goes with two controllers

One with screen like Wii U but better design and handy

And one will be include free from display from Sharp

I guess the NX will be a handheld and home console (as guessed by many), but the home console will be able to use the processing power of the hand held.
The patent for using external computing devices points in that direction.
So the quality for local multiplayer won't be impacted as much when playing with 2-4 people, as the 3 extra processing units (the 3 handhelds) would be able to boost the performance enough to make it run in the same quality as the singleplayer.

Also it would make some 2 screen concepts more feasible, than on the Wii U, like installing a camera on a NPC and following him while being someplace else.
At the moment the graphics would need to be compromised heavily to make it work properly (e.g. Star Fox Zero), as the home console has to process close to twice the load. The extra processing power of the handheld could alleviate that.

Maybe the NXs power will be improveable by releasing newer more powerful handheld revisions/versions leaving the home console as it is. 

Issues I see are the price and fragmentation of the console through different handhelds. Also handhelds aren't the best controllers, and the battery life would need to be pretty impressive to be acceptable as a controller.
The Gamepads (with the bigger battery) 5-6 hours and the Dual Shock 4s 7-8 hours are not really satisfactory, and they don't have built in APUs.

I'd be impressed if Nintendo managed to pull that off.
