Rumor: NX will be mainly a home console, plenty of power, Platinum Collection.

Rumors of the NX lately have been wild, and like them or not, everyone has been caught up under the rumor mill's grindstone to some extent lately.

Today I'd like to point out a particular new batch that has some great news that I've heard snippets of before, but not all condensed like this, straight from Player Essence.

One of the first, and best, things, is that the NX is not only easy to dev for, but powerful as well.
Comparable, in fact, to about 2x the PS4, with the graphical ability being comparable to the PS4 Pro, which will give des the ability to port games, quote, "with power to spare".
It is being developed as a home console, in focus, but will use cartridges, which can very well mean a much better solidification of its games lineup, which can now include games like Fire Emblem Fates and Kid Icarus Uprising, or in other words, handheld titles may appear on it in addition to home console games.
Can you say, "fewer droughts"?

The second, is that apparently none of the controller rumors have been accurate. None have gotten the actual form and function correct, and the detachable sides thing is most likely false as well.

And finally, the last bit, before you watch the video for more in-depth info, is that Platinum Games will be making a collection for it as an exclusive!
This collection will include:
Bayonetta 1&2
Vanquish 1
A sequel to Vanquish.
And a remastered port of The Wonderful 101!

So, anyways, watch the vid, drop P.E. a like, and give me your thoughts!

A pic of a part of the list of rumors.

I hope so, but i really dont believe that will happend.

gedden73160d ago

sounds way too good to be true. sorry. i will believe when i see it...

wonderfulmonkeyman3160d ago (Edited 3160d ago )

Your choice, but the majority of the other rumors are mostly negative swill that everyone around here seems to swallow without question, lately.
I'd prefer to believe something clean and positive like this, over the negative crap that gets taken as a given around here recently.

gedden73160d ago

But it Nintendo we are talking about. The Wii Wii U all have disappointed. I hope they do better but I think the NX is hybrid system. I would love that but I also understand how most wouldn't. Its not the norm. These rumors are getting out of hand. I'd rather be negative or grounded then be WOW'ed that i was wrong. My expectations are set low for a reason.

wonderfulmonkeyman3159d ago

Nintendo's announced that it's mainly a home console, so this little article just gained more credence, compared to the tons of negative ones saying it was gonna be a handheld with sucky features.

gedden73158d ago

Hey, still think so???

wonderfulmonkeyman3158d ago

Still hope so, yeah.
Platinum is on the list, we saw Skyrim too which means Bethesda, and Take-Two and From Software are there meaning Rockstar games could be there, as well as the Souls series.
It's VERY possible that some of this is still true.

hopefully VRR via a firmware update is released for docked play as well (like the PS5 did post release)

fr0sty6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

There's actually a pretty long list of games on PS5 that support 120hz. Even more with 60+hz unlocked, and that isn't even counting PS5 Pro.

err...is it even HDMI 2.1 on that thing?

repsahj6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Yes, according to the dock teardown. It contains HDMI hardware chip of Realtek RTD2175N that supports 4K 120hz. And the HDMI included on the Switch 2 is HDMI 2.1.

I'm happy for Nintendo. Even though the Switch 2 has received so much hate just to bring it down, it hasn't won. Even though some are saying they'll boycott Nintendo, it hasn't affected sales. Especially now, with word of mouth that the system is good, demand for the Switch 2 will definitely increase more.

Profchaos11h ago

Yeah loud minorities that were not going to buy it anyway

ZeekQuattro1h ago

Considering the record sales the Switch 2 is seeing around the globe its clear a portion of the loud minority clearly bought the device.

Profchaos11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

But But the internet told me the switch 2 was going to be a failure.

Such a good system im having a blast with it and really enjoying my first ever playthrough of yakuza 0

You shouldn’t care about the sales of a game company

babadivad10h ago

Sold through or to the stores? Asking because they're tons of them at my local Best Buy. When the PS5 and Series consoles launched, you couldn't find them anywhere.

OtterX8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

The article clearly says sold. If it were shipped, it would say shipped.

Nintendo had been saying the last year or so that they would be flooding stock so that scalpers would not be an issue. They've followed through with their word. It's not cutting edge tech, so it's been easier for them to sit on stock for a while until it accumulated to a massive number available to be shipped.

Good-Smurf9h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Good for them, I'm still not buying.
Looks to be a pretty safe and boring upgrade over Switch 1 which I don't think they can top it on how plain looking it is design wise.
Shame since Switch Lite showed they still know how to make a handheld that looks good and is actually portable in a classic Nintendo sense.
That's why I got one over Switch 2's block of charcoal.
Then there's the prices of it all and the whole Key card thing destroyed any sense of game ownership.

Profchaos8h ago

There'll be a number of revisions for the s2 like a s2 lite or oled also seems inevitable

Good-Smurf7h ago

Unless they drop the prices and actually has a more portable variant that can also dock then maybe I'll reconsider but as of now, nope too big too boring and expensive to make it worth this early, not enough of its own games atm as well.

Profchaos6h ago

Who knows removing the dock capabilities would lower the cost of the unit pretty significantly.

The cost of the dock, reduction in shipping costs etc bug savings which will enable a cheaper system
