More Nintendo NX Rumours Emerge

More NX rumours have emerged reiterating information that has come before with a sprinkling of additional bits. As with all NX rumours this information should be taken with a grain of salt as Nintendo has previously stated that they won’t be sharing any information about their next platform until next year. That being said it’s always nice to get some speculation going. Here’s the latest batch of rumours.

  • He’s under strict NDA with Nintendo Japan
  • Informations are from march 2015, with some updates from june-july
  • He received a bunch of patents (some of them are publics now), info about what Nintendo is planning and a list of games potentially in development (some of them may or may not have been cancelled), third parties included
  • NX is a platform, not tied with a single device
  • Wii U is still in the picture thanks to good software results for games like Splatoon, will still be the main home console in 2016
  • 3DS is a bit old, they’re planning of replacing it. Some games will still come out on it, but big projects are being moved on portable NX
  • With NX, Nintendo wants to create a platform where they can develop software for multiple devices with ease, from the home console to the portable to smartphone and tablets. They’ll have a big catalogue available for multiple platforms, with cross buy, cross saves and cross play, similar to what Microsoft is doing with Xbox One and PC thanks to Windows 10 (that allows to play many Xbox games on PC, which is also getting a bunch of ports from Xbone). Each platform will still have exclusive games
  • NNID is tied to the single device, but it will allow to share details between platforms, like friend list, contents, local coop games, etc. Thanks to the new membership program (the successor of Club Nintendo), we’ll benefit from the new Nintendo policies in terms of rewards
  • They’ll show the portable in spring 2016, will be out for the end of the year or spring 2017 max. Specs will be higher than PS Vita but nothing mindblowing, screen resolution should be 540p, considering 720p if costs go down. BC with 3DS was problematic
  • Wii U successor will not have an optical drive, which will be optional. It will sync with the portable (not obligatory). Specs won’t be super high, but close to PS4/X1 (doesn’t know how much, like with the portable this is still subject to change anyway). Cross games will look better on the home
  • Nintendo is focusing a lot on the anti-piracy system
  • Big focus on the OS as well. They hired people that worked for Google on Android, the guys who worked on the Gamecube OS and Wii U browser are there too. Optimized versions of the same OS for every NX platform (think, again, W10), each with its set of specific functions. Updates will come out at the same time, they’re focusing on making the OS blazing fast on every platform
  • The home console can connect with the portable to send to it its own version of the games you buy, will use the same tech as the Wii U-Wii U Gamepad streaming to do that, or the internet connection
  • The home will have bc with the Wii U. Gamepad should be compatible as a controller, considering selling it standalone. Can connect with the portable for offtv and bc. WiiMote compatibility is being considered too. As for support, since the new home won’t have an optical drive, they’re considering an external one. Also being considered NNID/eShop bc for titles bought on the eShop. Seems they’re considering digital games sharing too, but this bit is not perfectly clear
  • The portable will have its own internal memory, which will be expandable
  • There will be a complete overhaul of online infrastructures, but Nintendo is determined to hold successful operations as Miiverse, extending it even further and making it a central hub for communications by developers and a meeting place for players. It will be even more interactive with the ability to upload videos and screenshots in an integrated system and not dependent on the game
  • Voice chat and interactions between users will be revisited too, much will depend on the users age though, to protect the minors
  • The home will be out 6-12 months after the portable, creating the “NX system” that will allow Nintendo to better use their resources in games development
  • They approached third parties during E3. Capcom, Square-Enix, Ubisoft and Electronic Arts already have devkits. Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Sonic, F-Zero and Metroid are in development, doesn’t know if these are main episodes or spin offs. Zelda is currently a Wii U only title due to high development costs, but they can reconsider to have another big game at NX launch
  • Prices will be low, 200-300€ (for the home?), considering a bundle with both for no more than 500€
  • Many of these things will be discussed in future Nintendo Directs, which will have a different host in every market if Nintendo can’t find a new CEO by october
  • A new 3D Mario will be shown, along with a new Zelda trailer. Retro moved their project on NX, will not be unveiled before 10-18 months
  • They’ll talk about a new “Club Nintendo”, which will be in full function with NX
  • Considering making agreements with phone carriers in order to better manage applications like Miiverse, Club Nintendo and the ability to purchase software by phone. Some of these will be out by March 2016
  • Is everything set yet? Yes, but with Nintendo you’ll never know. If he has updates he will share them with us.

        1. Yeah streetpass was a cool and welcoming feature…
          But adding on to what Matthew said… there is also no mention of region locking.
          I know a lot of people want that crap obliterated already.
          My guess is Nin is still gonn clench their ass cheeks and keep RL.

                  1. What kind of a fucking idiot would link their facebook to this page besides a dipshit fanboy like yourself. You’re just asking for people to come on your page and fuck with you.

                    1. You forgot to capitalize the u in unless, considering it was the first word in the second sentence. Adding the three periods didn’t justify it.

      1. Dude that all sounds trash because when it comes down to it, it’s sounding like its still weaker, POSSIBLY on par with PS4, which equates to nintendo fans having to buy 2 systems in the same gen just to get what the competition had from the start. You stupid fucking fanboy. Killing Nintendo all of you.

    1. I think allot of it is, been hearing similar rumors about it being a platform or a family of systems that runs under one OS or games that are shared across the space. Thinking being able to play the mobile games on your home system too.

      Some of this like unifying accounts and keeping the miiverse as the communication hub Nintendo has said on a few occasions. And trying to share the OS.

      The one part I see missing that stands out to me Dena, and how it relates to cloud.

      I have also heard the $200-300 range which is why the last rumors sounded false.

      1. What a clueless fucking prick. Clearly you have no real concept of the real world or life or you wouldn’t write sensationalist, childish comments.
        One day you’ll have to deal with life. I hope it hits you hard, you cunt.

        1. If you get offended over some grown-ass man’s comments on the internet then it’s YOU who must “deal with life”…you can’t stay sheltered forever…

    2. they sound pretty inline with what Nintendo has said in the past. I hope that the device has a edge on other current systems. I’m also hopping for all new controllers. a remote 3.0, classic controller 7.0 , balance board 2.0 , fit meter 3.0 (yes I’m counting the poke counter) and a new “view pad” that can act as a stand alone device (browser, camera, Netflix, some virtual console) but also dues the job of the current gamepad (second screen, off tv play, tv remote, UI navigation) the biggest issues I see is that the handheld is X64 (and can be used as a sort of pocket PC in terms of it having enough power to run apps) and the home system run on X86 (and thus also acting as a settop-box respectfully) also the switch to OLED, HD and multitouch would be nice….I can hope

    3. i agree i hope nintendo dont mess this up because they been developing games more cheaper like the Wii U and did they say the NX will cost 165$

    4. It dues. From what Nintendo has officially said, from the trends they are adapting, while still thinking about a Nintendo way of doing things. A lot of these sound impressive but actually are very basic things to adapt, even in the sense that they couldn’t really do a new system without these things. Granted I know the Wii U was a weird product. But the biggest reasons it didn’t do well was 1) it didn’t come out sooner 2) it should of had a better name 3) several games were delayed or came out to late 4) advertising was low 5) what trends they adapted to were wonky at best. …..that said the Wii U and even to a smaller extant the 3DS were stop gap devices. They were a way for Nintendo to test several ideas and play with new trends while not over spending and being too risky. Everything from Splatoon, Mario maker, miivers, Eshop, indie developers, the “pro controller” exe were used to test waters and make better defined products down the line. That’s also why the NX playform well be put in mid life span of its competitors. Nintendo is also evaluating what Xbox and Sony have done with their new systems and using that information to its advantage. Good things on the horizon

  1. See, part of this says, “let all this stuff happen!” The other part says, “This is def another too-good-to-be-true rumor.” I don’t think I’m gonna believe this one, but it’d sure be nice!

    1. Where it seems wrong is when it says the 3DS is old and they are replacing it. Why would they bring over the New Nintendo 3DS (the faceplate one) then? It costs a lot of money to get ’em over here and NOA was pretty against it at first. But now that it’s done, I don’t think they’ll immediately move on.

        1. Well, that was also a nice “Fuck you” to consumers. The fact that it happened once, doesn’t make it ok to repeat it.

          1. Nintendo always repeats their “fuck you’s” to fans and consumers.

            It’s ok, they just get new ones. Brand/Consumer Loyalty means nothing to them anymore.

            Just gotta find ways to net them casuals!

            1. PC Master Race Agent Narud

              ||Your concerns are justified but ultimately worthless……

              ||There will be no casuals or loyal servants to the different factions of today, only us and the only true magnificent plan our world will introduce when you least expect it……

      1. Please have in mind that the original “new” nintendo 3ds was out elsewhere except in the US…
        The original 3DS has been out for a while now so it may be indeed true but who knows… it says that it will be backwards compatible with 3ds, meaning that they will still be making 3ds games if this rumor turns out to be true. The beauty of this is that we already own a 3ds (nvm the version of it) and we get to choose to buy that one or not.

      2. they did the same with the DSI I see no reason why they wouldn’t do it again. remember NX is a platform so they could suppost the NEW 3DS as a device to fully replace 3DS units and let developers keep publishing on it (they still let publishing on the wii) but could focus first party developing for just the NX systems

        1. This is why it was a complete stupid-ass decision to name it “NEW”3DS in the first place because Nin is gonna replace it with in another 2 years. Then what?……. Is it gonna be renamed to OLD 3DS??

          UGH

      3. Well the DSi Xl had barely came out when the 3ds was close to launching. Same with the Gba sp/micro when the original DS was launching. Its happened

  2. Gear Games Interactive

    So, we can expect the Handheld NX in 2016 whilst the Home Console NX in 2017… interesting planning but Nintendo needs to make it more powerful than the PS4/Xbox One if they want to keep up to date.

      1. Gear Games Interactive

        A GTX 750 Ti for only £130 can actually produce a better performance than the PS4 and Xbox One. So, it’d be very disappointing if Nintendo is just going to have it on par with those consoles.

        1. I can’t play games on a graphics card unfortunately. I get your point though, and yes, I would be disappointed if there was not more power than those systems, but it wouldn’t be a complete travesty if they were at least equal.

          1. Buying two systems in one gen just to get the same power as the competition isn’t a travesty? You sir must be a fanboy. Or you just love to spend money on nintendo’s mistakes.

            1. I have been very satisfied with the Wii U. There have been some issues that would be better, perhaps more games, but I also haven’t played everything either. I will keep the WiiU and its games and I will buy the next one because Nintendo is my console of choice. Shit, some people by a Sony and Xbox and Nintendo; they do what they want. Not a big deal

        2. They can make a console with NES specs. As long as they pay publishers to make games (and pay them enough so that the PS4 and XBOX One versions will be the same/inferior), they will get third party support. My guessing is that they were not paying them to release games on Wii U, so that is why it does have almost no 3rd partys.

          1. They could make an NES specs console, they sure could. But not one developer would support it and only the stupidest of fanboys like yourself would buy it.

        3. The NX could have simular specs as ps4 but this doesn’t mean it will only perform like ps4 in 2017 you can get much more performance per wattage basically and people forget this i mean Mariokart8/Bayonetta2 wiiu are proof that graphics on wiiu are no slouch and it’s less powerful then ps4 and Zelda is meant to look alot better on wiiu now so basically it looks incredible now and in my eyes will be 1 of the best looking games out there FULL STOP ??

          I think the Fusion rumoured specs are true due to it saying alot of things that match the recent rumours,it shows AMD making both graphics chips,IBM making the other ones,is says the disc version will play wiiu games ect just read it…

          http://nxhype.com/post/114022644133/is-the-nintendo-nx-project-nintendos-leaked

          1. If Nintendo were to use the AMD x86 processor inside home system hardware, imagine what Final Fantasy IV: A Realm Reborn looks and plays like.

      2. Unless MS or Sony come out with new consoles in 2018-2019, in which case the Nintendo console will, again, be left behind.

        1. I don’t think they will. I still think Nintendo should attempt to trump them in power though. as someone else pointed out, the hardware is not that expensive, so they gotta just get it done and make something that can last 10 years even if a new console comes out 7 years into its life span

        2. Nintendo are designing a new concept so if Sony/Microsoft come out with new consoles say 2019 Nintendo can just bring a new NX out with super specs due to them using the same type method as Apple in terms of game development where the same games can get made but just with higher specs in terms of framerates and resolutions also higher textures res and more AA ect ect,Nintendo could bring out a Tablet NX to sit along side Home/Portable…

          If Nintendo go with this concept then Sony wont be able to just simply bring ps5 out in say 2019 and tell the world we have the most powerful console ect because Nintendo could just bring a new NX out to equal it and keep Sony on there feet and in a Apple type environment with the NX brand they could essentially bring a new more powerful console out when ever they pleased to be fair because it would be much more easy then starting a whole new generation everytime.

          Basically every NX console will have prob 70% cross play games with variations in graphics but essentially the same game,and 30% exclusive games for each NX console,and with every new NX console you will be building more sales instead of starting again sounds to me like Nintendo are being very smart.

    1. Agree. Nintendo needs to stop this nonsense of staying one generation behind in the console race. It’s one of the main reasons that 3rd party devs won’t bother to develop for the console and that core gamers won’t buy. So many hours poured into R&D, and they can’t figure out this simple lesson. On the bright side, this console seems less gimmicky than consoles past. Happy to see the gamepad sticking around for the sake of backwards compatibility and off TV play.

      1. third parties is very expensive to put them on consoles so my guess is the NX will be the nine generation no lie if this stuff is true what nintendo said then my mind is gonna be blown still the first console was ok but i like the sixth one the gamecube one looks very enjoyable.

  3. PC Master Race Agent Narud

    ||Once the 3 inferior factions balance themselves now that the Nintendonus are evolving, their doom will be assured……

      1. PC Master Race Agent Narud

        ||Worthless creatures such as yourself have no authority to make claims on anything vastly superior to you, the PC Master Race created everything you hold dear……

          1. PC Master Race Agent Narud

            ||You Terrans are not even considered worthy of our presence, you are nothing but creatures roaming wild in the cosmos, but fear not, your end will come soon as well……

            1. Those in the Empire know there is no master race, and games like Batman AK on PC prove this. It is said that a game could portray lifelike visuals and run smoother than exotic butter, but if it isn’t fun it is a glorified, objectified showpiece for inflated egos, and proof of software and hardware latency.

  4. This sure is “a whole lot to speculate over as far as rumors go”. Lol
    But this NX (Nintendo…PLEASE DO NOT NAME THIS MACHINE A WII 3!!)
    really has me pretty excited. I’ll be keeping my eye on this.

  5. I knew Zelda U wouldn’t get bumped to the NX. There might be a port later (like how OoT appeared on the Collector’s Edition disc for GameCube) but there’s too much riding on the NX to start out with an eff-you to the Wii U faithful.

        1. He talking about how they screwed over 10 million Wii u fans by killing of the console very early…giving it roughly a 3 year life span. Even for Nintendo consoles that’s terrible!

          1. Home console NX is planned for 2017, Wii U was released 2012, giving it the same 5 year run that the Gamecube and N64 had. In fact the Wii only had a 6 year run as well.

            1. But the wii u recieved far less games than all of the console you mentioned. Also, do you really count 3 games for 2016 as being “support”?

  6. If there really is main F-Zero/Metroid in development for NX and not spin offs, i might consider getting this thing, but for the most part NX sounds like a mess, if the homeconsole version isnt gonna out do Ps4/One, then theres no hope for 3rd party support. The reason why N64 got all the epic StarWars games was because at its time N64 was the most powerful system and was the only system to get decent PC ports, unlike Ps1 and Saturn. Gamecube also got lots of support being powerful and all.

    Not gonna get system if its just about Nintendo games, say what you want about buying systems for exclusives but its kinda stupid if the system is only worth it for exclusives, Xbox and Playstation have both exclusive and multiplat content, so those two have way more value.

    But still its just a rumour, and the rumour that Nintendo would have F-Zero in development should make fans little bit cautious towards this rumour, unless its somesort of spinoff where C.Falcon has overly sized head and drives fast Karts and everyone smiles and soundtrack consists of overly happy jingles….

    Still waiting officially words from Nintendo before getting too excited.

      1. Well, you might be on to something, but it would be good for Nintendo if they still made sure this thing would be above Ps4/One, ppl would hear that its the best system and multiplats would be the best versions. Also sometimes it would result for a scenario where game is too big to be downgraded to Ps4 and it would stay as NX/PC game. Happened with N64 and with those StarWars games, there was no way to downgrade ShadowsOfTheEmpire for Ps1, so it was just N64/PC game. And those StarWars games did sell N64´s, it was a time when StarWars was coming back. In a similiar fashion StarWarsBattleFront will sell more XboxOne/Ps4 systems, Nintendo being the one to miss out.

        1. As you said this is a rumor, with that said. That will be the concern for anyone looking for 3rd party games on nintendo home system. Even if power is there, I think the western 3rd parties will look closely at how the first batch of games sell and those that sell well will determine the type of support. 3rd party games at least need to sell 5 percent of the user base for them to be happy. For example if watch dogs had of sold to 5 percent of the wii u install base then ubisoft may have rethought their support. Anything over 5 percent is icing on the cake. I think for the other consoles they looking for at least 10 percent.

          1. Forgot to add that 5 percent of watchdogs at that time would be close to 500, 000 due to the Wii U being under 10 million at that point.

              1. Just stating a point of what 3rd parties are looking for. That was just an example. This rumor is false. The person that posted the translation said it was 100 percent false. Something about same guy who gave false wii u information too.

          2. Yeah, don’t know what Ubisoft was expecting with Watch_Dogs on Wii U and considering its success to continue developing M-rated games on Wii U was stupid. First, got delayed too much. Second, no extra effort to make it worth the delay. At the time the game was released on Wii U, a lot of people have played (and sold) it.

      2. The problem is that by 2017, a console is actually nearing the end of its life. Time was a console cycle was only five years long, so console cycles of seven years of longer are actually a new phenomenon (the overlap with the NX and the current gen will only be 2-3 years). I’m excited by the prospect of a new F-Zero, but this particular rumor made the whole thing sound like a Nintendophile’s wet dream and made me a little skeptical that any of it was true. Still, a Retro developed Metroid is what this console needs straight out of the gate. Still, I’m one of the satisfied Wii U owners on this news site. I always often lament that Nintendo is so out of touch with its consumer base, but I’ll buy the new product and be happy with it regardless.

        1. Wii U will be ending its life cycle and so will the others, at least in the general sense, but those companies in this day and age might be trying to push the life span of those consoles a bit more… hard to say, but if I was in a conference room at any of those companies that is what I would be doing. Hell, a PS3 still gets the newest Madden and other games and that console is 9 years old… the PS4 came out 7 years after the PS3, so it is already the case that the “console lifespan of 5 years” is not necessarily the case any longer. These rumors could all be bullshit though

    1. Gear Games Interactive

      It mentions the power was “subject to change” and is also on par with those consoles… so third party support isn’t far fetch when it comes to the NX.

      1. Exactly. I don’t think Nintendo is gonna pull another Wii U with the NX or at least I hope they don’t. I don’t think they want to be left behind so they’ll definitely make it more powerful than the PS4, in fact, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the NX home console will be a generation or two ahead of the current gen consoles, you watch and see

        1. A generation or two? No. I’m guessing “as” powerful, which unfortunately is a mistake. They should be future proofing it.

          1. No it will be a generation ahead of the PS4 and Xbox One and you will eat your nasty ass words, I just hope you don’t throw up on yourself

    2. It doesn’t matter how powerful the console is, if they make it easy to port (x86 processor)/ pay 3rd parties (kind of like Sony pays WB and Activision and Microsoft EA pay more than the other so they get exclusive games/content), they have the support. Anyways, I would love an Arkham Knight-like F-Zero spin-off with Cpt. Falcon as Batman.

      1. Why should Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft have to pay 3rd parties? They should be happy they are allowed to make games for them. If they decide to lock out EA from their consoles, then all EA would be able to publish for is PC and mobile. A bad analogy would be me paying you to test drive your car before I sell it for you.

    1. Oh yeah, that part was totally confusing, it would be like buying add-on for the system, except disc drive for NX wouldnt even add anything except access to physical games. And if that drive sells like shit then except stores to not shelve more than 1-2 NX games LOL

      This rumour is totally fake.

      1. Gear Games Interactive

        Actually, if you read the previous patents, it does mention a external disc reader… so it’s not fake either.

  7. When Nintendo announced the new 3ds I told people the new handheld is probably coming out 2016/2017 ish and to keep that in mind, I won’t get angry if the announce the handheld house first because I actually have a brain and could tell that this was going to happen

  8. The NX home will destroy ps4 in graphics easy that’s the only bit i think is wrong in 2017 you can squash ps4 power in a console for 250€ and they say it will cost 200€/300€ plus games on wiiu that have had love poured into graphics like Zelda or FastRacing,Mario3DWorld,Bayonetta2,ect ect look as good as ps4’s best so to think NX home wont be more powerful is just funny it will be much more capable then ps4 FACT….

  9. Reading this over again, this seems to suggest that rather than just challenging Sony and MS in the console space, they’re also going to be taking on Steam with their own distribution platform for consoles and mobile?? Is this a back door for Nintendo products on PC and Mac? How curious.

    1. I think you are right to some degree, it looks like a complete reorganization of Nintendo gaming, “NX” being an umbrella term for the new Console, handheld, mobile delivery system… leaks are good, but hopefully we get that glimpse next summer

    2. The biggest problem with POWER is that there are at least 5 variations of POWER in a console shared between Network speed/Wattage and Raw CPU/GPU POWER it’s not always as simple as these Sony fanboys make out i mean the real question is will NX be more CAPABLE then ps4 and the answer to that is YES.

      In terms of graphics WiiU is close to ps4 given the same resourses ect.

    1. Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, Pokkén Tournament, and The Legend of Zelda from 2016 say “Hello”.

      #WiiUForever
      #Nintendo4Life
      #DeezNutsForPresident

  10. Well sounds good but the nx needs to be stronger than the current gen. Hopefully Nintendo understands that. It’s to future proof the console not just to make it relevant now but in later years also

  11. I’m suspicious in that while it says “the Wii U would still be in the picture”, it THEN states that the “home console” version would be the successor to the Wii U.

    Honestly, this sounds more like a mishmash between what Nintendo said so far, a previous rumor stating it might not have an optical drive and a previous (long since) debunked rumor stating it would be a powerful console that comes in two parts (the handheld and the home console).

    1. “the Wii U would still be in the picture”
      Read the entire point, it says that it would still be in the picture in 2016

      1. I believe you’d misunderstood what I said “it might not have a disk drive”. The “specs” here said that the disk drive is optional. To me, that statement makes it resemble the rumor that the NX won’t come with the disk drive.

  12. This is a lot of info to take in and these rumors can be true but of course have to wait and see and that is interesting that the new handheld may come out in 2016 or 2017 and the no may cone out in 2017 or like I said in my early posts 2018 and I can’t wait to see the new metroid game and I can’t wait to see stranga and xenoridley suck Nintendo ass when they see the game ha ha lol and being on part with the ps4 or better is good and the handheld being as good or better then the vita is good and I’m going to get a few vita games soon

      1. The next home console 3d game ya fucktard and yeah federation force too but I won’t be getting a 3ds for sometime so I will continue to focus on games for the psp and psvita and I said both because the ps vita obviously doesn’t have every psp game on the psn but now I’m focusing on the psvita I will get 1 or more games from ebay

              1. Aww. How cute. He’s too scared to talk shit about me directly to my comments. *pats his lil head* Least you’ve realized it’s pointless to fight me as my opinions won’t change for some little Nintendo bitch. Oops. My bad. I meant to say lapdog. Then again, both mean the same thing in your case.

      1. Ridley fuck losers like him lol you know what’s up as always and he’s just another dipshit who can’t handle the truth.

    1. You stupid fanboy fuck. Don’t mess with stranga or ridley cause they are two who know what’s up. Go suck eminem’s cock it’s easy as 123 for you with all the practice you’ve had. Sucking nintendos dick and all. I hope all the bad things in life happen to you, and only you.

  13. Well lots of things to say. A console without an optical drive… Does that mean that every game will come on a 32gb Sd card. Cause games have more and more data and I don’t see people downloading a 10-20gb game…

    The all Nx things is a bug fuck you to wii u owners if you ask.

    I remembered the rumour about the wii u being 19 times more powerful than xbox360 or a ps3… Yeah right ????

    1. No console is x number of times stronger unless the have the same specs with the direct next in line parts. One part can be stronger while another part can be weaker and another part could be the same.

      1. Sorry but your comment don’t make sense to me.surely you can estimate a difference of performance (GPU power,CPU processing, speed of execution, features,heat management ) between 2 or several products. I genuinely don’t understand your comment which is a reply to my comment.

        1. You can between similar products like the different variations of Intel i5 cpus but not by comparing amd and Intel cpus. They are set up differently. Same goes for people trying do use the FLOPS to make a comparison.

    2. “every game will come on a 32gb Sd card…I don’t see people downloading a 10-20gb game…”

      I would think that’s the standard size for the initial release of titles, since SDXC starts at 32. Afterwards they’ll increase in size as developers get lazy/graphics get more intense. Considering release timing 64GB and 128GB are options as they’ll be more affordable.

      They’re already downloading titles of that size, much more actually. And we soon can too with X coming out, 22.7GB.

      Title PS4 PS3
      2K14 41.8GB 8.7GB
      Call of Duty: Ghosts 31.3GB 10.9GB
      Injustice: Gods Among Us 22GB 10.2GB
      Just Dance 2014 22GB 7.1GB

      Once you add DLC, there’s a LOT of data. The best method IMO is have initial files on SD/game card, then download the bulk. Have 1TB+ internal storage and we’ll be set.

  14. I see people making rumor reports off of Neogaf again. This was being discuss yesterday and they wasn’t buying the rumor. It really sounds like all the speculation people been talking about in a small package.

  15. “He’s under strict NDA with Nintendo Japan”
    -> Talks about a shitload of confidential information, anyways

    Yeah, I’m not buying any of this at all. Some of these just seem too good to be true, while others seem too bad to be true.

    Plus, random person.

  16. I stopped reading at, screen resolution will be 540 won’t be 720. That’s a deal breaker. And console will be close to ps4 but not better?! Bhahahahaahah. They will fail again! I hope these rumors are 100% false!

    1. It could always change. and 540p is finally an improvement from the constant 240p they kept having in the consoles. Paying 3rd parties=support, power does not matter. 3rd parties always go with the lowest specs in mind, and let’s not forget that people kept making PS2 games for a long time after the PS3 released. All that matters is that the games have to be ported easy and to pay 3rd parties decently. (if they payed 3rd parties, the Wii U would have gotten a lot of games, since it was pretty easy to work on).

      1. You just said Wii U was pretty easy to work on? Why do you guys always talk out your ass man lol, I don’t get it. Wii U uses Power PC arch, it’s definitely not easy to work on, especially when your mainlines and ports start off in X86. Who told you all that? I know no one did, that’s the funny part. You guys just drool out random garbage and you say it cool as a cucumber like you’ve got your shit together. Y’all kill me lol

        1. LOL, why do you think that there are so many indies on the Wii U? Sure, it is not as easy as PC to PS4 and Xbox One, but it is as easy to work on as the 360 was and much easier than the PS3, it is just the developers/publishers (but I would say that it’s the publishers; remember the Crysis 3 drama?) that are lazy. They are still making games for the PS3 and 360 only because of the systems sold. If Microsoft would not pay EA, then they would not see any game post launch from them until the Xbox one sells 20 million units. And it should be easy for developers if they worked on the GCN or Wii. And I am sure that the third party support only comes if:
          1. Your system sold tons of units
          2. You pay them. (And if you pay enough, you get exclusive games/dlc or early DLC).
          Do you think that it has to do with power? Sure, some devs have integrity and can convince publishers to let them do what they want. But most of the big publishers never do so.

    2. Hey I believe what you are referring to was “Specs will be higher than PS Vita but nothing mindblowing” this was referring to the new mobile console.

    3. FINALLY someone on here who isn’t a dumb fanboy who likes getting their wallet and ass fucked. Anyone who thinks buying 2 systems in the SAME generation just to get a system that MIGHT be on par with competition isn’t a true nintendo gamer, and just downright needs their head examined. Thank you for having common sense and not just buying up anything Nintendo puts out or might put out without looking into the product first. You are the type of fan nintendo needs, all these fanboys have no taste of their own, and will buy anything which is why nintendo is where it is. And why sony and microsoft gamers don’t touch nintendo.

  17. Think about Nintendo Game in Cloud. = No need HardDisk drive, no need Disk, no need SD/MicroSD Card, …

    In 2016-201x, internet connection will be faster, … Nintendo can use in that new console “wi-fi-AC or better” instead of “wi-fi N or wi-fi G”.

    1. That true for some countries where Internet connection is fast. However it’s not the case for all countries Even countries in Europe don’t have very good Internet connection. Why do you think xbox 1, don’t do cloud gaming ?

  18. Sounds awesome but disappointed Nintendo would try releasing a new mobile device only a year after releasing the “New” 3ds. Was really excited to get it, but so far Xenoblade is the only game to take advantage of it.

    1. There are 2-3 other titles as well.

      I’ll just be happy to have a bigger screen for my regular 3DS titles, but honestly I’m feeling like it was a stupid purchase right now as I don’t play it at all.

  19. I’m gonna stop you there Sickr about Microsoft. Microsoft is not allowing direct Xbox games to be played on PC. It’s merely streaming it to be played on a PC monitor; it’s their weakest BS excuse for PC support trying to hide their obvious alienation of PC gamers and forcing that Xbox One garbage down their throats.

  20. If it’s even slightly less par with PS4, region locked, if there’s a portable counterpart with NX that’s still as BS dependent and restricted as Wii U’s game pad or even supporting mobile so much that virtually most of their games with be freemium with fucking Microtransactions and ads up the ass, consider this my final goodbye Nintendo…

    1. Then prepare your soft anus as you’ll surely be disappointed. What? Even after the unveiled federation force you STILL have hope for Nintendo. Sorry to break this to you but…they’re fucking dead. Now, as we’ve see with federation fuck-fest, they only care about appealing to casuals and babies.

            ||There will be order between the 3 flawed creations just before they all fall at the hands of our new power……

            1. If you actually are nintendo commander, go fuck off. You’re not jumping on PC after all your nintendo dick sucking and acting like you were always PC. You’ve always mentioned PC, but don’t even act like nintendo hasn’t always been your number 1. Don’t think you are actually cool or something by being PC, or part of some cool elite exclusive club. You’re just a bandwagon bitch.

        1. Yea but fanboys like brandon hardcore or whatever, eminem123dicks in his mouth, and a bunch of other fanboys are still blind as fuck.

      1. LOL You mean that they only care about appealing to you? Super Mario 3D World is more hardcore than 95% of every retail game on PS4/XB1, and DKC Tropical Freeze beats them all. Metroid Prime Federation Force is going to be a real hardcore experience in singleplayer and is meant to tell the story of the Federation for Prime 4. The Prime producer even compared it to how Avengers did it with the individual movies so that they have every character set for the big movie. LMFAO you are too stupid…

        And if you consider stranga a nintendrone, you are a new faggot on the site. Go back under the bridge you live and give the laptop you stole back to the person you stole it from, no wonder you’re still a virgin.

        1. What a pathetic show. Next time, don’t even bother trying to counter my arguments…you’re guaranteed to fail miserably either way!

          And no, 3D world is NOT more hardcore than any ps4/xb1 game out there. What about Deus Ex Mankind Divided? I’ve 100% completed 3D world and I can safely say that, while it’s still a decent game, it not only has a number of flaws (no online multiplayer for starters) but is extremely bland in comparison to previous entries. Sunshine had FLUDD, Galaxy had the gravity aspect. What does 3D world introduce? Nothing! Lazy as fuck compared to sunshine and Galaxy!

          Haven’t played tropical freeze so it’s tough to comment on that one…but personally, I’ve had enough of DK…retro, gimme back mah metroid :,(

          How is a multiplayer focused game going to have a “hardcore single player experience”? Because Nintendo says so? Where’s the exploration then? The upgrades, bosses, isolation, etc… Oh wait…they’re gone in favour of…sigh…blast ball.

          Really, a corporate slave like you DARES to call someone else a “Virgin”? Lol if you’re so fixated on daddy Nintendo I doubt you have any room to spare for actual love interests!

        1. If you are using that game or bundle as ANYTHING to say nintendo is doing something right, you are just showing even more how much of a fanboy you are. and just cause fanboys like yourself buy it and it sells out doesn’t mean anything. It might have sold out but they don’t make a lot of limited editions. And lots of people buying it probably just want the system and not the game. The game itself is trash you scrub. Reality says hi. I miss when fanboys made sense.

  21. the 3DS successor is sorely needed, but PLEASE allow at least digital backwards compatibility with DS and 3DS games. If I can’t play Fire Emblem on it, then I won’t buy it until it has a fairly large library to justify my moving on

  22. No optical drive = A BIG FAIL
    Noone knows if those rumors are true or false but if Nintendo makes the wrong move and give us a home console without optical drive that will be the death of Nintendo.

    Most of the Nintendo fans are collectors.I mean.. most of us we want to buy our games retail to have the boxes etc for our Nintendo collection.Also home consoles are what they are because the cartridges and cd/dvd roms.Home console=plug “n” play.I dont want to need to download 20-40GB every time when we will have a new game release.I want to buy the game put it on my console power it on grab the gamepad and play.Simple as that.

    I know that we are not in 1990’s anymore and i can see what the other companies doing with their consoles but i really don’t care about the other companies.
    Will be a day in the future that all the games will be digital?I’m sure for it but i don’t want to see my loved company N. to do it first.I don’t want to do it at all.

    Imagine NX with only digital games and pay-pass for online gaming.Something similar to PSN & Xbox Live.That will be a disaster.Sony & M$ are making a lot of money for charging their customers for nothing (pls dont start…its nothing…Can you imagine Steam asking for us to pay 50 $ per year to play multi?:/ ) But that will not work for Nintendo.Same as Steam.

    PS.
    I know that many of you,you will say that we will be able to buy an external dvd-drive for the “NX” as the rumors says…but the optical drive must be a “de facto” thing and not something optional.Also i don’t believe that we will see NX taking SD cards instead DVDs for the simple reason…Money…32+G.B SD cards are way more expensive than blu-rays.

    Also NX’s spces will be near to PS4 & XONE?3 + Years will be near to those specs?NEAR?
    I hope the most of those rumors are false.nO\\Nothing else.
    Sorry for my English and thanks for reading.

    1. No optical disk drive, but it does mention a cart slot. Think about the size of 3ds games. That’s what the NX game carts will look like.

      Nintendo will not go all digital. They will not abandon such a huge consumer base. Nor will they throw away all thier retail store connections.. You will always be able to walk into a best buy or Walmart, and buy a physical copy of a Nintendo game, no matter the platform.

      1. PC Master Race Agent Narud

        ||Money is of no importance, the only course Nintendo and the other flawed creations will take is into the void where we await to consume you all……

      2. Most people do dipshit. It takes quite a bit of money to keep a business going, and their few billion can go real quick. A few wrong decisions like catering to casuals and fanboys like yourself can cost them a ton with this new system.

          1. Like me! Yeeesss ooooooohhhh right there ooohhh yes yes yes omg omfg ah aaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh OH SHIT*cums in your face* ooooooooohhhh oooh ah

  23. These are probably the most BS rumours I’ve ever read… It’s like literally no effort went in to making these seem somewhat real.

  24. The only way Nintendo could justify having a system with less power than the Ps4, is if these rumors are true. It really means the NX is a handheld system that can be played on your t.v. by inserting the handheld carts into the home device. Hence, no optical disk drive. It makes sense, and I think it’s a smart move. Hopefully all these rumors are true.

    1. PC Master Race Agent Narud

      ||They will supply you with several options that you all craved so much for, in doing do, the pieces of the grandest of schemes will begin to fall in place……

    2. Power is not just graphics and compute power there are variations of POWER mate there is no concrete proof the NX will be less powerful so grow up ??

  27. The thing I don’t like is the whole “no optical drive” thing. I’m still not sold on digital-only and prefer buying on disc over digital when the option is there. Nintendo would really have to fix their online structure, which if this is to be believed isn’t happening. “Tied to a console”. You can’t tie our account to ONE console, it’s just stupid! I don’t know about XBONE, but PS4 makes you set a primary console and that’s where your games are available to play. PS4 breaks? You sold it for the new fancy design? Just link it and set the new PS4 as your primary console. Nintendo clearly wants your games on one system and not shared among three of the same thing, but linking it to one and making it next to impossible to recover them is no way to run a digital store. If this is how the NX will be then I honestly don’t know that I care to buy it.

    1. Well, there’s a way for you to transfer your files or back them up on the 3DS and Wii U. I don’t expect things to be any different with the NX. And if the console breaks, you should be expecting things to work out just like how the PS4 does. If it doesn’t work out that way, Nintendo will and should be getting a crapload of hate from the community and from their costumer support. I wouldn’t think that customer support would deny the games that you paid for if your console completely broke and you couldn’t retrieve them. All Nintendo would want to do is avoid people from duplicating games by sharing accounts with multiple consoles. That would be piracy and it will only be their fault for making it so easy.

    1. No. the top screen the the 3DS is 400 x 240 pixels. Or 800 x 240 pixels in 3D. So technically, if I’m not mistaken on how resolutions are named, it is 240p, but doubled when in 3D. The NX will probably be between 480p and 720p as it’s max. The number usually refers to vertical resolution, so according to the rumor the NX’s screen will be something like 700 x 540 (or 1400 x 540 in 3D). That’s more than twice the resolution. I know compared to flagship smartphones, it’s not at all impressive but the 3DS surely has proven that screen resolution doesn’t matter.

    1. Oh course a nintendrone like you would be jizzing himself over this! Nintendo could release a piece of shit and you’d still eat it up LOL!

      1. Hahaha thank you fellow anon, I hate this guy he would literally eat nintendos shit as you say and call it filet mignon.

  29. Says Nintendo will be focusing on piracy issues. That’s all good and all, but I honestly don’t want another region locked console.

  31. I took a dump in the public restroom when I was reading this article. Then, toilet wouldn’t flush so I had to leave my urine and dump in the toilet potty for next person to observe.

  32. Hold on…Retro moving their project to NX…Retro doesn’t do handheld games lol. That part is false. Course Zelda is Wii U only. And Miyamoto already stated the next time we see Mario it will be on the next system. So a Mario game at launch of NX is basically guaranteed.

    1. I think you’ve read something wrong. According to the rumor, the NX refers to a platform for both a home console and a handheld. What it sounds like is that the consoles will run on the same or very similar OS’s so that developers can simultaneously develop the same games for both consoles. This would explain why they do not have a CD drive because all of the physical copies of the games will have to be either cartridges or download only in order for the games to be compatible with both handheld and home consoles.

  33. It should be noted that like the original Wii (a system that didn’t support HD and yet retained amazing visuals for games such as the Mario Galaxy duo and Sonic Colors among other titles), the NX will be able to strain it’s boundaries in terms of game quality like the Wii often did in it’s later life and even when it was first released. I’m looking forward to the NX, but unless it ends up as budget smart as the rumors keep saying, I don’t know about getting it.

  34. Why would you make a console a little bit weaker than PS4 knowing the Ps5 will be more powerful than the PS4. Thats stupid.

    1. They can’t make a home console weaker than current gen consoles because the parts won’t exist anymore. It will cost more for Nintendo to make the NX weaker because they will have to hire people to rebuild and customized ” old ” parts which wouldn’t make sense. By default the NX will be more powerful than the PS4 and Xbox One but I don’t think that’s the direction that Nintendo should go. They should definitely future-proof it and have it ready to go up against the PS5 and the next Xbox so that they won’t get left behind this time

      1. PC Master Race Agent Narud

        ||The only way to secure the future is by total submission into our world, other options are imagined by the illusion of hope……

      2. Since when are old parts more expensive??? That’s how nintendo makes all their consoles lol. That’s some hopeful fanboy logic right there. Let’s hope it’s strong enough to take on PS5 but I think your statement is incorrect. I could be wrong and that would make me quite the dumbass if so, but I think your statement is incorrect. If you can prove me wrong, I grant permission to call me a dumbass and virtually slap me in the face.

  36. I lost interest and stopped reading this article as soon as the “journalist” (I I say that very loosely) started using terms such as Xbone. Everyone expects that from little fanboys which this author obviously is. Nice he gets to play grown up at the expense of wasting everyone’s time.

  37. Everything is believable … except … where’s the gimmick?

    Nintendo promised something “new” … i forget how they worded it, but that lead most people to assume Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality or some new device.

    Besides the new consoles being more powerful, i’m hearing that they’re potentially losing things … maybe losing the Wiimote? … maybe losing backwards compatibility? … maybe losing the optical drive? … besides power, what’s it gaining? … what’s “new”? … this wasn’t answered.

    “We can’t talk about the NX,” Iwata said. “If we do, competitors may take our ideas and customers won’t be surprised.”

    Where’s the surprise?

  38. I just hope Nintendo finally realizes that power does matter now. I mean I don’t care about the most powerful system. I only care about the the console with the most fun games. But 3rd parties are a different story. The most powerful system is the the ONLY thing they care about. I mean yeah there’s the sells of the console too but you know what I mean right? They only care about how good looking they can make their games. That’s part of the reason why the frame rate for some of their games have been shit… I can’t be the only one who noticed that right?Nintendo needs to realize that. I’m begging you Nintendo! Just stick that shit in your head! I love innovation as much as you guys! Trust me! But no one in this industry gives a fuck about that anymore! Its sad but true! So please no bullshit this time OK? People already consider you the laughing stock of the industry and your just sitting there making it seem like you really are! Time to get serious again!

  39. so i guess they are gonna be finish with the 3DS next well i totally agree with them so i think its time for a new handheld system but im still a disappointed that the NX will not have a disc drive inside of it.

  46. just putting out my opinion! the whole 5 year per generation deal! if sony and ms actually releases a console 2 years after the nx.. then next generation it will be 3 and by that time they will realise that oh no! nintendo is allready putting out a more powerfull console in 2 years time! so what is the point in buying a ps and xb ??? if you just wait 2 years then you will get a better console then those! and if they do this again it will be 4 years… and then in just 1 year a more powerfull console again! so yeah.. this whole “more then 5 years per generation” shit will come back and bite them in the ass! and then people will froth at the mouth and form a mob and go on a field day on the internet defending and arguing like us with nintendo right now!. well not exactly frothing… but atleast defending that graphics and such are not the most important thing in the world.. and the whole deal with third parties! why not just make games just for the nintendo console ? catered to those who play on that console! instead of porting something halfassed!??? or instead if what i said earlier happened.. those who like the sony and xb console might do the same thing ? atleast then they might earn some more cash and won’t put out halfassed games!

    anyways that’s my opinion! and i was not trying to sound like a fanboy or anything… i was trying to look at this in another way!

    have a nice day everyone!
