Fair enough. I still have a hard time believing the screen size for the NX controller is the same as the WiiU one. I mean wouldnt that mean they have learned nothing and are releasing WiiU 2?

Well I guess this one is actually portable unlike the wiiU which u can't really take very far. So I get the premise provided it costs like $250 or less. I really hope they have like a 4-5 inch one for $150 tho. Would buy that in a heartbeat.

Just sounds like a big multi-touch screen, coupled with the fact that Nintendo want to sell it at a profit, makes it sound like 250$ is going to be hard to achieve.

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?

If this is true, you have to consider cooling. A smaller form factor would be much harder to cool.

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

We also have 1080p phones for less and if the rumors are true, the hardware will be pretty old by phone standards so...

The WiiU were pretty old for its time too. Not to mention that the controller alone cost around 170 bucks and that wasnt even a handheld or had a multi-touch screen.

Thats cause the wiiu had very expensive tech inside which allows the zero latency streaming which cant be achieved by even the best wireless routers. That tech is expensive and the wiiu had both the console and tablet separately. This is gonna have a single piece of hardware instead of two and hdmi port to connect to tv. It is far more cheaper than wiiu.

Yea but they will figure that out. We have phones that are slimmer and faster that can handle cooling just fine. I m sure Nvidia will figure it out if they actually do it. Maybe even make the smaller very a bit fatter to compensate.

Well if the console part is just a docking station, then maybe.
