It's not really "innovative" anymore when it's a 10+ year old idea that already fizzled out and there are motion controllers for every other console now. 

Having some form of motion control is fine, every system has it in some form, but if Nintendo thinks that's going to drive hardware sales like 2006 ... they are sadly, sadly mistaken. 

So far the NX doesn't really seem to have any new ideas. This thing is going to need to be able to run Android apps or it won't find a market IMO. Kids are not going to carry around two devices and they're not giving up their Android apps. 

This is why I kept my Wii U Pro controller and Wii motes when I recently traded in the Wii U and games (please don't hate on me) Got over $400 bucks for it all. I just have a feeling they will be supported by the NX.

I basically agree that it is a console with a very open set of functional capability.

- i haz portabilitiy
- i haz home powah
- i am one with digital BC
- bring your wii / wiiu accessories and let's play
- etc

I don't see any VR functionality. That isn't Nintendo. They won't jump into this extreme new tech. Personally, I see VR never really taking off and going away similar to 3D gaming.

I hope people dont keep their expectations high on this one.

The "gimmick" is that it's portable basically from the sounds of it with a few extra things thrown in (aka: the swiss army knife approach)

Hum, I always doubt something really original can come to existence, but often I am proved wrong.
In the WiiU case, I was impressed, bought the thing just to play ZombiU. And to this day is one of my favorite WiiU games, also Scribblenauts was pretty fun.
But overall, the WiiU was a huge disapointment, to me at least.
I still remember dreamming about playing Alien Colonial Marines as a horror survival, which Alien Isolation also prove that was a silly dream anyways.
Even Fatal Frame failed in my opinion, falling into the "big breasts, small talent" type of design of late KoeiTecmo games, which is a huge fall from grace from the 3 first games of the series.
I am VERY interested in the NX, but I will not buy it on launch because Nintendo has a lot to prove before I fully trust them again.

How was Fatal Frame V worse than 1 and 3 exactly?

maybe, just maybe... it's a master of everything!

The question is if this is the right way to do things.

Makeing a hybrid thats as good as 2 things (hybrid & home console), that are usually sold seperately, is hard enough.

Tossing a ton of other stuff in there as well, increases the risk that it ends up failing at both.

Im not sure just tossing aton of features into something, is a smart approach.

Look at the Wii U.

They spent 80$+ on the gamepad (when the others spend like 15$ on their controllers), and barely found any reason for that "feature" and it basically killed their console sales.

This could be Nintendo trying to do too much at once.

Don't get too excited. While I'm interested what they come up with, Nintendo tend to try and keep things cheap and make money on their consoles. I think they learnt their lesson from having an expensive controller bumping up the price of the Wii U.
