I agree this is why I am not getting my Sticky Balls answer! Feel like I must use bad language!

 

.......PLOPPERS!



I love that everybody was confused by the article title and the editorial conclusion, yet right in the article it clearly states:

To support their device in this hard fought industry they have joined forces with no other than Nintendo. A company probably best known for their Wii series of devices as well as a popular handheld line of products.

Nintendo is set provide the new tablet with the custom made Joystick peripherals as well as a custom OS made for a dedicated gaming device. The marketing will be shared equally between the two powerhouses of gaming.

While many companies have tried and failed to break into the console industry, we believe Nvidia is on to something here and with a strong partner like Nintendo and a truly novel concept sure to not just raise a few eyebrows.

The name is still pending but we have brought to our knowledge that the device will launch sometime March next year. A full reavile of the new Nvidia console is expected to be early next year.

"The name is still pending", LOL.
So why anybody (including Polygon) could think this is a SEPARATE, COMPETING console to Nintendo Switch is beyond me.
I think it is reasonable that people treat the Switch as a Nintendo-NVIDIA joint venture, like Nintendo tried with Sony (unsuccesfully).
NVIDIA is not just bringing CPU/GPU, but they have experience applying it to handheld with Shield, and bring software stack.

Errrrr.....

Didn't they already do this? Unless i'm mistaken, they have so far already made a shield handheld, then a shield tablet and finally an actual shield console.

Or did I just dream all that shit up?

 

If this is true tho, and the are making another sheild tablet rhat pretty muvh works like the switch, all i can say is thst now nintendo will learn why no one wants to work with nvidia. 

Exactly.  And ironically, if this is true, Nintendo supposedly didn't want to announce it this early because they were afraid of copycats, when the copycat was the one they were actually working on the Switch with.



Pretty sure it's a joke. Or an attempt at one at least.

So...it's another Switch....but only fully made by NVIDIA? What's the point exactly? Not only are you not going to get massive 3rd party support like in switch's situation, you're also not going to get Nintendo content. Do shields even sell well?

I want to believe this is an eleborate troll.

Nothing, I guess.

Although... how about this...

You remind me of the Wii U.

Mistake, now I'm going to fap thinking about you.

No one flirts with Rol but me.
