I'd rather the NX just be about as powerful as a PS4 or even an X1, be inexpensive, and have some great games that run at 60 fps!

At the end of the day, it's the games, not the hardware, that makes a console.

Let me get this straight. The NX will be a handheld and a home console where they connect together?

Now im no graphics programmer but that sounds incredibly hard to utilize fully.

Nope what the are two views on what NX is one is that it's a hybrid and the other is that it's a home console with a controller that's slightly more stand alone than the gamepad.

Handhelds can already connect to home consoles btw they've been able to do it since the GBA and GC, PSP and PS3 did it as did Vita and PS4 and even 3DS and Wii U have done it for Smash 4.

If i have to program my game to be able to run seperately on each platform i would have to work miracles to get it to work proplerly.

What are you talking about? Have you seen pc's over the last century? Games can be played on specs 20x apart, one might be on 720p the other in 4k and so many other settings. Just by swiping a litle slider. 

Games that nintendo has already achive compatability with handheald and console. First and mainly, super smash bros. wii u is more than 10x the 3ds. and they kepet everything the same execpt the resolution. xenoblade chronicles is close to an example, is wii to 3ds, but the wii is still much more powerfull than a 3ds. There are probably others that I dont know about but thouse 2 should be enough.

STreaming to smart tvs on chrocast like devices is tota trash and Ive tryed it. there insane lag not sutible for gaming and the upscalability also suffers. So no, it would be insane for them to make streaming the default conection to a tv. If there is a docking station the even less likely to be streaming, since your setting it next to your tv, might as well conect the hdmi to it. 

and its true about the handheld owners not getting the console, but it also works the other way around. there are many wii, wii u, gc owners who dont like playing on the go and forcing them to go mobile is also not wise.

You seeem to be under the delusion that only the eurogamer rumor can possible be true. You need to get off that cloud. specially since they have been proveen wrong before. as far s you know that source that spred things aroud was send by nintendo to send everyone off track the real nx and for people to ddisregard real leakers. All im saying is that there is a world of possiblitys and 2 seperate devices is one of the more possible ones.

Again it's not the Eurogamer rumor. In fact Semi Accurate reported Nvidia Tegra being the chip before Eurogamer did. It's Eurogamer + IGN + Wall Street Journal + LPVG + and Kotaku has also said they have heard the same thing with NO credible person saying no. 

I would not believe a rumor from just one source, but 5-6 reputable sources with zero push back from anyone credible, yeah I believe it. 

The PS4 Neo and Scorpio leaks were basically the same exact thing. 

So no, sorry I'm not getting off the cloud. Either show someone CREDIBLE who has predicted something accurately in the past before saying AMD 4 TFLOP NX or I call bullshit. Plain and simple. 

This is a random Brazilian "leaker" who has zero track record. Gimme a break. Hey, NX is 8 TFLOPS. I just told you. Believe me? Maybe I should start a Youtube channel and see how many suckers I can get to follow me. 

Or all of them had the same leaker.

Even that very same article does not sound like a hybrid to me, jst a tblet with a hdmi that sits on a docking station with a fan. thats still just a handheld, so this rumor like someone said before, dosent contradict much if a separate console version of nx apeared later in the year.

and again, the rumor says 2x the ps4, wich will be only 3.6tflops. The ps4 pro has a rx480 custom. they lost some flops of its original 5.8 to do what ever they said they did to include checkerboar and something for vr. If that was the case nintendo could use a rx 470 wich is cheaper also custom to reduce cost and have it at somewhere 3.6 tlfops without braking the bank. I mean the 470 is like $150compared to sonys rx480 at $250 , its nowhere near a powerhouse but not as underpower and still cheap. I dont know how you cant see this withing the realm of possibility. Its only guys like you who to make a point start exagerating the points made like saying it will rival the pro, while they say nothing of the sort.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

It's not a separate platform.

Things like that are not a "joke". People who "joke" like that at my place of work find themself getting escorted off by the police with a disorderly conduct ticket. Being rude to other people is not funny. If you friends find something like that funny just keep stuff like that between you and your friends. If you do that to a person who you do not know personally, it just rude and uncalled for, in fact that is the very definition of bullying.

Sorry for going off like that but that is one of my pet peeves.

Nintendo also said that the Nintendo DS wasn't replacing the Gameboy Advance.

So you're thinking this is an ultra powerful Wii U that takes cartridges and has removable sections from the new fancy tablet controller? Great. I hope you expect this thing to bomb like the Wii U did.

I really cannot wait for this thing to be announced so all of the people that think they know so much can realize how wrong they are.

All I have to say is that some people on this site have seen, used and know what the concept behind the NX, but their NDAs prevent them from talking about specifics. I'll just leave it at that. Anyone you're getting information from either doesn't have any personal experience (because they'd have to sign an NDA to get it), or they're getting it from a second party that may or may not have the information they claim to have.

Interesting, knowing that you are (were ?) a dev, I guess you know what is the concept behind the NX

I can neither confirm nor deny that.
