Forums - Nintendo - Emily Rogers Nintendo NX rumors: response without being overly cynical.

Ok, the responses are bolded

  • Custom Nvidia GPU chip No specs? useless info
  • Region Free (No region lock)  <– Confirmed this. Good for those who care,  this is what you want right?
  • Six inch (6.2 inch?) multi-touch screen (Heard nothing about a stylus) Great size in my personal opinion, and the machine will have a stylus, nintendo develops games that are only playable with a stylus.
  • The touchscreen has 720p resolution. <— 100% Confirmed. ok, I see some people trying to say this is bad, maybe they don't understand but I'll try to explain as simple as posiible. 720p on a 6.2 inch screen will look as good as 1080p on a 24 inch display.
  • 32GB of built-in internal storage with sd card support this is good enough for a handheld
  • SD card support ^^^^
  • Supports USB 2.0 and 3.0 good
  • The dock has two 2.0 usb ports and one 3.0 usb port. good i guess? we don't know shit about the dock, just like her. The dock could have some crossfire thingy  or could be a stand without any real function.
  • The device is around 14 – 15 mm in thickness. something like this ->  not bad i think
  • The right analogue stick will be below the face buttons. it's okay
  • Camera and microphone are not built into the NX portable device. I think this is bullshit, even the ds has a mic and a camera
  • Cooling is still a little noisy a loud fan on a portable? if you believe this bullshit... or could be the development kit, that's the only way.
  • Detachable controllers (motion controls and next-gen vibration technology) <– Everything Laura Kate Dale said in her article was correct. well motion controls are here to stay, ask oculus, htc and sony.
  • Share / Social button that Laura Kate Dale posted is true. it's just a select button with other name.
  • There are at least two shoulder buttons. I haven’t heard anything yet about triggers. back at it again with the "idk"
  • Battery Life — Ehhh not great. I haven’t heard an exact number of hours, but it doesn’t sound great. ok, she has not heard an exact number of hours, but it doesn't sound great? what kind of statement is that? how much is bad?? how much is good??? 3, 4, 5, 6 hours?
  • Below PS4 and XB1 in raw power. ok. No specs about the custom gpu by nvidia on the portable device, that has a lower resolution  than a 1080p display and needs less power than a ps4 or xbox one and because of that the games could still look great and shiny. Example, battlefield on the xbox one running at 720p looks fugly and blurry, on the nx would look fantastic at 720p because that's the native resolution and the display is small.
  • Supports Unreal Engine 4 and Unity Engine. supports unreal engine 4 and unity? lol, unity and unreal engine 4 support the nx, that's how it works.
Feel free to disagree and to say that and wrong or right

Whats the point of a multi-touch screen if their games are only playable with a stylus?

I'm saying that nintendo develops games with "stylus gameplay" like pikmin or mario maker or kirby.

so a stylus makes sense



6.2 is a big bit for me cause it goes past the handheld size and sits on a tabletsh size. I generally put my 3ds in my pocket when I go out but where da faq am I supposed to put this thing? Specially in Canada where it rains a lot...

Maybe they will have 2 skus. One that is 6.2 while the other is 4.5-5.

I find her battery comment lolz worthy tho. No information about it at all apart from "it doesn't sound great." Like seriously?

Well it would be weird if they made games for multi-touch screens on their devices though. Its like saying Sony makes games with "analog sticks" gameplay.
