Firstly what's confirmed.

- Nvidia propriety based off Geforce and Tegra
- Stand alone tablet device
- Docking unit
- Cartridges
- March still on course
- Skyrim Remastered (puts the platform at least in X1 range of power for now)
- 3D Mario although that was a given at some point
- Various controller/interface set ups (detachable, standard, screens)
- Platform seems to be able to communicate/link up with other NXs as seen in the portable multiplayer parts.
- Docking unit has 2 USB slots.
- Splatoon and Mario Kart also on the way (not ports as the were new features not in the current games)
- The classic D-pad is gone

That's not necessarily true. It can run at 720p30 unlike the X1/PS4 versions.

No one should expect a hardware powerhouse, or even current gen parity, from a tablet sized device with no cooling, it's simply not reasonable... unless the chip is made using the 10nm process, which is unlikely.



Please excuse my bad English.

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

Don't understand the word range I take it then.

If "half as powerful" is "in the range" for you, then good for you.

720p doesn't mean half as powerful mate.

I'm aware of that, thanks.

I feel like I missed a bunch of high quality rumors this past week. anymore software/hardware rumors I need to add to the OP?

This was a good thread. It will probably be referenced a lot in the future (spring 2017) when everyone has forgotten what NX was.
