Apparently there are some new rumors about Nintendo's next-gen console codenamed 'NX.' It seems that the rumor of the NX being a portable device has gotten a lot stronger. Reports have the device coming with an HDMI dongle that would allow for gamers to output gameplay to a TV. The portable also includes 'haptic feedback' in the analog sticks. It has Bluetooth-syncing technology to where you can receive text messages and phone calls on screen without having to close the app or game. Once again, in terms of "power" it had been likened to being on the level of an XBOX One, or possibly 50% stronger than Wii U or 2x as strong as PSVita. In any event, it would be the most powerful handheld Nintendo has ever released.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
I hope the NX isn't a portable. I personally feel the 3DS has so much more to give. I think a new home console would be the way to go, but with a heavy emphasis on connectivity to unify all of the Nintendo tech.
Guys think though if this is there next portable then we can get better pokemon and fire emblem games!!!
Nope, it's not. I'm 99% sure of that.
IIRC, when they announced that they were making the NX, they said something to the effect of it being the next step in their console line.
Why would they call it a console if it's ONLY a hand-held?
It wouldn't make sense.
Why would we get a new handheld generation this year when we just got the NEW 3DS last year which is supposed to offer even more powerful games and visuals than the previous 3DS?
Focus on new games for the NEW 3DS before making another handheld generation. It only has 2 games so far.
I doubt its a portable being as Nintendo are trying to get support from huge western publishers
