So in an interview that Kimishima did he mentioned that the NX is a home console. This is the first time Nintendo has referred to the NX as a home console so its official now.

"According to Kimishima, the new NX console will be a home console that is sold alongside Nintendo’s current Wii U and 3DS gaming devices. Kimishima did not give any details on the performance of the console, but he did say that it was meant to be a new gaming experience. This could allude to a more powerful console designed to be a better competitor against the Xbox One and Playstation 4, but it might also point to a unique new interface similar to the Wii’s motion controls or the Wii U’s tablet."

I really hope this second part isn't true...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Still not getting up in arms until I hear more from Nintendo about what the NX actually is.

Sold alongside the Wii U...I thought the Wii U was being discontinued?

Think DS. That was their way of saying. If the DS idea craps out. Will have a backup.

Was there ever any doubt in anyone's mind? I figured it would be a home console. What else would it be?

Actually, the most interesting part in the link is that devs are asking Nintendo to add features. This indicates a) third parties and b) the specs aren't set. The "features" that would add cost are most likely performance related. I hope Nintendo listens this time.

What's really disturbing is that 3rd parties are asking for anything. Already a bad sign.

It's not disturbing at all. In the past Nintendo didn't even talk to them about the design of the system.  And we see the results.

Ironically the one time the devs were involved with some input was the Wii U.

The gamepad was never a problem to begin with.

Sure....

 It made the console more expensive, it was the main controller, the marketing for the wii u was focused too much on it, third party devs didn't want to use it, it felt unnatural and the button layout is weird.

Can you and anyone else link where you're getting the price of the controller from? What also goes against this claim is that NX is likely to have a screen controller itself due to Zelda indicating the controller was never a problem and Nintendo are keeping it as a result.

The was also hardly any marketing of the Wii U so I don't know what marketing you're on about considering only MK8 and Splatoon were really advertised and the controller feels fine it's has little difference to it than playing any other controller. Third parties didn't have to use it that's the whole point, it was a complimentary feature to be used when they wanted as opposed to a mandatory one like the Wiimote, that's exactly what third parties wanted.
