Forums - Gaming - Rumor: Nintendo NX to be As Powerful as PS4 Neo, Announcement Coming September

it was only last month NX was going to be as powerful as the ps4...



Around the Network

So around 4TFLOPS, but "not cutting edge tech"...that would mean 28nm.

M9 M395X is 2048:128:32 mobile 28nm GPU pulling 3.7TFLOPS with TDP of 125W (desktop version is 380X with ~4TFLOPS and 190W) and I don't think AMD can go much lower with TDP on 28nm for similar specs.

Somehow I find this rumour hard to believe, if it's around 4TFLOPS it's more likely to be 14nm, or it's not anywhere near 4TLFOPS.



Neo confirmed as downgrade ps4!



This is Nintendo... yeah cant see it myself. Guess we'll have to wait and see.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

NX could be as powerful as the rumoured Neo specs because of the ability to use new technologies in it compared to the Neo which will likely be limited to "evolutions" of the current PS4 hardware, but we don't even know if the rumoured Neo specs are legit so I'm not believing this rumour. A September reveal seems likely though.



Around the Network

I don't believe this like many others here, too. What I find amusing is the thought of what would happen IF it was true. When NX and Scorpio are at least as powerful ore better than the PS4Neo, PS fanboys would lose their only reason to brag around and diss the others. Their console would suddenly be the weakest of the bunch. Wow, those sure would be hard times for them.

EDIT: Oh, and the SS remaster would be pretty easy to make if the NX simply supports Wiimotes. I don't think that would be all that hard to implement. It doesn't need to be mandatory for all games, but only for some selected ones. Just an alternative control option like the Wii U has them many.

And having your resources split in not two (Wii U & NX versions of BotW) but three? That makes little sense.

And will having two Zelda games at launch, one of them a remake, really make the console more desirable?

Nintendo has outsourced all their recent remasters, they wouldn't be loosing any man power to a SKyward Sword HD and it doesn't have to be a launch alongside Breath of FIre, it could launch later in the year.

Although a SS Remaster doesn't sound like the most appealing thing at the moment, it would be kind of negligent to remaster all recent Zelda games except for SS, especially considering its not the best selling Zelda and could be a new experience for many. At this point a Zelda Collection is kind of needed, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a holiday 2017 title. 

Skyward Sword is a different remake than Twilight Princess (Wind Waker HD was made by Nintendo themselves if I'm not mistaken). The original game was designed around the Wiimote Plus, but the remake would have to use whatever controller the NX has, which would mean a complete redesign of the gameplay mechanics (remember that the game forced us to not only slash horizontally, but also vertically or in diagonal, something very hard to to with a regular controller unless you use the cameera/right stick to that task).

I doubt Nintendo will outsource the remake of Skyward Sword, or at least not without a small (but important) team supervising the project 24/7.

it can be powerful as it wants the bottom line is that all way through Wii and Wiiu era they have lost core gamers to sony and microsoft, theres no turning back now

It wont be more powerful than the regular PS4. Probably not even that. Reggie wouldn't have said "Its not about the power" if it was...

I believe it will have the same power as the WiiU. Now theres no way but up. Saves me from disappointment.

This could be a response to Microsoft who is claiming that their console will be the most powerful console when it launches.  This was an attack on Neo and NX.

An Skyward Sword remaster that soon? Unless the NX has motion controls, how would that even work?
This sounds iffy, but who knows. I don't think this rumor is true, but I do think they'll be showing the NX around September.

Maybe they'll make it work with analog controls instead.
