I want that.

Could you imagine? Want Nintendo's next "device?" All you need is $20-40 and a pc and it's yours. And since most people have pc's, Nintendo's market just exploded.

The only thing we could lose in that is their unique controllers, but they could still make them for their streaming stick. With Nintendo, I've always cared about the games and the controllers. With this gen comes miiverse, but you could easily just do that stuff on the pc on streaming stick with a portable keyboard so there would be no problem with that.

Yeah that's all I'm concerned about and I know they could make the N-Stich compatable with GamePad and everyother peripheral they choose. Steam Link works with the Steam Controller. I mean I'd hate to see Nintendo copy another company but damn! Nintendo and Steam on the same machine not paying license fees to MS or Sony and us having one system to rule them all. Sounds perfect.

I like the N-Stick idea. Nintendo needs more "out of the box" ideas like that.

2017 for me

Also, here is my prediction

1 / NX will use the power of the CPU via external USB C, or thunderbolt

2 / In the future, if we want to upgrade our console just buy AMD's custom CPUs are made for NX attached via USB C. According to the patent, it included a full mainboard with CPU + Memory + Network Interface. Like a laptop Razer mentioned in the post below

3 / If so, then Nintendo is the first company in the world manufacturing gaming machines to apply this technology, while manufacturing technologie companies such as Apple began to follow this path ... over 2 years ago

4 / But Thunderbolt technology in that time is just 2.0, which is slow and standard lags far behind the 3.0. Summary for who doensn't have any ideas about what is Thunderbolt or USB C

These pics is too big so I just leave it like that

5 / That match up with the information from the patent was announced, and the recent statement of Kimishima (anyone didn't know who is Kimishima should Google ASAP) 

Nintendo's "NX,"  Will Be Unique And Different "

6 / NX could be the last handheld - console of Nintendo, the future will have the upgraded version of it only. Like Playstation brand with PS1,2,3,4 of Sony, Nintendo will make NX2, NX3, NX4, v / v ... but the diffirence is it has the same structure with previous version, not like Playstation brand, but technologically and specs upgraded to suit the general level of modern electronic market

7 / And you're wondering why I say that, then you should know Iwata has said, they could develop a new OS like iOS and Android, for all of Nintendo gaming console/handheld from now and onwards.

Currently, we can only provide two form factors because if we had three or four different architectures, we would face serious shortages of software on every platform. To cite a specific case, Apple is able to release smart devices with various form factors one after another because there is one way of programming adopted by all platforms. Apple has a common platform called iOS. Another example is Android. Though there are various models, Android does not face software shortages because there is one common way of programming on the Android platform that works with various models. The point is, Nintendo platforms should be like those two examples.[/quote] 

Convenience is the same game that can run on all old and new platforms. Just like the iPad 1 (current gen console) can run that iOS app but also, Ipad 2, ipad 3, New Ipad (next gen console) or all Iphone version (handheld) can be installed the same app like the Ipad 1 did

8 / Technology Cloud Computing - Cloud - to be applied strictly. But like Microsoft do with their games or how, I have no idea, wait until next E3 then

my guess is that if the NX is a home console, it will release holiday 2016. Either November or October. most likely November
