NeoGAF member 10K who was verified by a moderator on the online forum claims that his sources say that the Nintendo NX is noticeably more powerful than the PlayStation 4. The user also backed up Emily Rogers claims that four Wii U ports will be arriving on the system. These games are Super Smash Bros, The Legend of Zelda Wii U, Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. The first two are dead certs according to the source. 10K’s claims have been backed up by four sources though even he admits that things are subject to change. You can read the full post, right here. Guess we shall have to wait until E3 to find out.
The NX will be more powerful than the PS4. “By a noticeable amount”. From the CPU, to GPU, to RAM. Sources don’t know the clock speeds, or memory type or amount of memory. But if the CPU is 15-30% stronger than PS4 as alluded to by LCGeek, than the GPU would need to match that bump in order to not bottleneck (Nintendo hates their bottlenecks).
Thanks, Paidenthusiast
I hope so. I’m no graphics whore, but who doesn’t prefer a good looking game? Plus it will be good for 3rd party support.
It has been said again and again. I’m starting to believe that this particular fact was “leaked” from Nintendo themselves” Notice how information about the console itself has been steady as we approach E3, and yet nothing about the controller that will fit in your hands. I suspect this whole situation has been heavily controlled.
Im confused. So you think Nintendo themselves is leaking this, and you think its true? It sounds like your saying Nintendo is purposefully letting stuff leak?
Yes. There have been far too many “Trusted sources” for my tastes lately.
Hmm, perhaps
-||We must prepare for the beginning of our new power||-
I’m sure Nintendo is starting it’s own rumors. Creating buzz and getting people talking about a product before its reveal or release is a good thing. Look how popular iPhone and android leaks are. People go crazy.
True, my brother follows Apple news as dedicated as i follow Nintendo news, and he raves about all the rumors. Only thing about Apple is that all their products are leaked before hand, and we know every detail about their products, and nothings is a surprise.
Remember when the 3DS was supposed to be as powerful as the PS3?
I think this is a fantastic way to do it. Since 5 months isn’t enough to get enough hype for a game, the leaks can definetelly help with it. Let’s be honest, we’ve been hyped about the NX for more than a year from it’s release (assuming it’s around November 21st) because of all these leaks, even if it is just to know what the heck it is
I think the same.
It would make complete sense for the NX to be more powerful than both the PS4 and Xbox One since the tech inside of it would be much more modern. If these rumors are confirmed to be true in the next month or two then we will really be in for something special with the NX. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds
You and me both. NINTENDO FOR THE WIN!!!
What is special in these rumors? NX more powerful than PS4. This situation is the same for every generation. New generation more powerful than old generation. All tech in new generation consoles are modern tech compared to the current generation. Ports of games that are on a current generation console. I haven’t seen a rumor that says anything out of the ordinary. It is the same type of stuff that been said whenever new consoles or product in general are ready to release.
That is true. Remember the situation surrounding the Wii U pre-launch. These same things were heard, and they didn’t mean a thing in the long run.
Certainly, the situation is vastly different now, but I’d hold my horses anyway.
The wiiu isn’t on our with anything. It came out years after PS3..and there is no difference
*par
You’ll have to rephrase that if you want me to make any sense out of it.
The Wii u is stronger than the PS3 and Xbox 360. That’s a fact. There has never been and never will be a newer gen console weaker than a later gen console.
I heard a rumor from a VERY trusted source that the NX will be able to play VIDEO GAMES
Ok whoa – why wasn’t the article about that instead?! Shocker enough it’s more powerful than a last generation console but the ultimate surprise is it plays games?!!!!! Yay!!!
-||Like I’ve said a few times before, don’t make something you won’t take advantage of to the fullest||-
Makes sense.
This means nothing. GameCube was the more powerful system during the ps2/xbox/Nintendo battles in 2000. The GameCube was beaten out by ps2. Games sell hardware
Dont think i don’t know this. The Wii was also the least powerful console and it sold gangbusters. But this is a different age, graphics have a much bigger influence now that the casual crowd has moved out. Now the graphics whore casuals have moved in and im not sure which one is worse.
I rather graphics, a basic controller and games. That’s what Nes and Snes were all about. Then things got complicated with controllers, the way you see the game and so forth. Everyone has their preference, but I just want a normal controller, i want to look at one TV only, and I want a different look in graphics. This comes with games as well.
In my perfect world i would want a PS4.5 power Wii U with great online and first and 3rd party titles. I love the Wii U and its Gamepad, i just wish it was more powerful, and had better 3rd party support.
I heard they have that, it’s called PS4
Nope not it. Not even close. I like the PS4 but Sony’s no Nintendo.
They aren’t Nintendo, they aren’t falling in sales.
Sales have nothing to do with how much i like a console. I’m not one to just jump on the bandwagon.
Yeah, right? “This console is better because it isnt falling in sales” makes me want to trash the console I’ve spent over a thousand hours on having a blast with my own library of 15 games plus 30+ Wii games I can go back and play….and buy the other because it’s selling better.
Great reason to invest and buy stock in Sony and Microsoft maybe, but why not see what you’re missing for very cheap…I enjoy all consoles to an extent I just don’t buy the Nintendo sucks argument because it sells poorly.
Yeah, its the stupidest argument ever.
If Nintendo keeps making their consoles rely on gimmicky controllers and other bullshit, don’t ever get your hopes up that 3rd parties will flock back to it. The Wii was a one-hit wonder that introduced a schlock full of shovelware with game companies jumping on the ‘waggle’ bandwagon, but it was simply to reap the benefits of the fad at that time.
Shovelware has always existed, and it was very prominent during the 6th gen as well. Blaming the Wii for that is pointless.
Right but the OP has a point that they really gotta be careful about experimental gimmicks à la Wii U to the point of confusing/frustrating consumers and third party developers even more than they already have. What they do with the NX imo sad as I am to day it could make or break them. I realllyyyy hope Nintendo doesn’t do something silly and instead broadens its reach to be more accessible and marketable to a wider selection of gamers and gaming companies. Don’t get me wrong I love the Wii U but Nintendo can’t afford
To make another console like that. They gotta get on board with creating a multimedia home entertainment device like the others and I think they’re getting there with the social media thing I hope. And one that is easy to port 3rd party games onto. They’re really pushing eShop purchases now and I think that’s their main strategy to simplify game format.
No, it’s not. Shovelware existed before, but The Wii opened the floodgates. At least with the PS2, they still had a steady stream of not just good 1st party, but 3rd party games in addition to the other stuff.
The waggle gimmick exploded in popularity, companies jumped on board with shovelware and didn’t take the time to put a lot of time and money into games on it because 1) it would cost more and 2)they would be competing directly with Nintendo, so they just put a shitty port or created a shitty waggle game. Look at the top selling games of the Wii. The highest selling 3rd party game is Just Dance 2 (and no, I don’t count Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games from Sega because it has fucking Mario in it, so don’t give me that shit), then Just Dance. The best selling games were overwhelmingly 1st party, and everyone knows it. When you had the boss of 2K games denouncing the console for flooding the market with shit 3 years after its release, you know you have issues.
By trying to appeal to non-gamers and casuals (not a negative in theory), they fucked up and hurt the gaming industry. Their strategy continued with the Wii U to follow that up and go after the tablet market, and that failed tremendously as well. Only now when they actually are taking the time to think things through (and we don’t even know whether they’ll be successful with that as all we’ve seen so far with Miitomo is a bunch of installs, which, if you know anything about the mobile games market, and I fucking do, only gets you so far unless you have a long term game plan) do we see that maybe they won’t fuck up nearly as much as before. But again, it all depends on the follow-though long term.
You’re seeing consoles in a vacuum instead of focusing on when were shovelwary titles released. If you acknowledge that a large (and I do mean large) part of the PS2 catalog was composed by shovelware, you can’t claim it was the Wii the console that opened the floodgates. If anything, PS2 opened the floodgates and the Wii was caught by the tide.
Instead of seeing it as a comparison of the catalogs of both consoles, you should focus on when the trend started and why it continued (meaning, it began somewhere else) on the Wii. You were on the right path when you mentioned production costs, but you abandoned that thought for no reason despite being the defining trait of shovelware titles.
About the waggle, correlation does not imply causation. The most popular console of each gen is bound to receive the larger amount of shovelware titles, and this is especially true when the most popular console also happens to be the easier console to develop for. While shovelware is naturally attracted by gimmicks (and the Wii’s motion controls would qualify as such), it’s not a condicio sine qua non for shovelware to exist. Even before the EyeToy, the Buzz controllers or the SingStar microphones, PS2 had series such as Beatmania, Dangerous Hunts, Dance Dance Revolution, Karaoke Revolution, LMA Manager, Pop’n Music, a ton of low-quality licensed Disney games such as High School Musical and quite a lot of tabletop videogames such as the Monopoly titles.
But using the criteria you brought to the table, a couple of figures:
-Number of Wii software titles (including WiiWare) as of December 2015: 1772
-Number of PS2 software titles as of March 2014: 3874
Even if you’d grossly exaggerate and claim that the whole Wii library is shovelware, you’d still have 1102 titles on the PS2 side to account for. If one single title out of those 1102 happens to be shovelware, then it would become obvious that the PS2 had more shovelware than the Wii in raw numbers.
Surely, when you take a look at both console’s libraries, the Wii’s features a larger proportion of shovelware, I don’t think that’s debatable. Doesn’t change the fact that the PS2 came out earlier.
I already mentioned the PS2 and the fact that great titles were still being released among the shovelware to sustain it, whereas I don’t find that to be the case with the Wii – especially since the latter was propped up and sustained by a gimmick, but if you’re going to bring up the number of titles released on both consoles, it’s disingenuous when the PS2 was released 6 years prior to the Wii. I’m certainly not saying the PS2 didn’t have a lot of shovelware, but there’s a reason the Wii stands out as such as over the PS2 – and yes, the motion controls were a direct result of that and I don’t find the comparison to things like DDR to be valid. The combination of the abundance of shovelware in proportion to its other games, the motion controls, and the appeal to “non-gamers” all place the Wii higher above the PS2 in terms of the damage it’s caused.
You’re moving the goalposts. Your original claim was that the Wii “introduced a schlock full of shovelware”. Just by looking at raw numbers, we can see that the shovelware was already there in the first place. The figures I posted were low estimates – some sources claim that the PS2 catalog includes around 4500 different titles, which would make the distance even more significant. The ratio of good-games-to-bad has nothing to do with your original argument, and I already typed that it’s probably (not certain, though) true that the PS2 had a better ratio, nobody argues that.
Oh, and the math in my previous post was faulty. The difference is 2102 titles, not 1102. That’s almost half of the PS2 catalog. Unless you can defend that there are more than 2000 games worth playing on the PS2, there’s no point in arguing that the Wii reintroduced shovelware to the videogame market.
“it’s disingenuous when the PS2 was released 6 years prior to the Wii”
That’s the whole point. Those titles AND studios were already there before the Wii. How could the Wii have introduced those titles to the market when the PS2 predates the Wii by 6 years?
“The combination of the abundance of shovelware in proportion to its other games, the motion controls, and the appeal to “non-gamers” all place the Wii higher above the PS2 in terms of the damage it’s caused”
Again, that was not in your original post. Were this the argument at hand, I would not have replied.
Introducing more shovelware is not the same as disregarding the shovelware that came before it, so now we’re getting into semantics as you for whatever reason keep riding my wording of “introducing”. I said that it introduced a schlock full of shovelware….which it did – and not just in the context of for the Wii but in relation to shovelware with the express purpose of jumping on the hype around motion controls, which I also mentioned in first post. Just because PS2 had shovelware first doesn’t make the new shovelware that was brought forth from the Wii less valid in making my point.
Nor am I saying that the Wii was first to being a system for a lot of shovelware while disregarding the PS2.
“Again, that was not in your original post. Were this the argument at hand, I would not have replied.”
Pardon me for not fully elaborating on my point in order to anticipate the shitstorm that would happen with someone find with this, but my latest comments have simply been to further provide more context to my initial statement. Yeesh.
I don’t think what we’re really arguing about is something that needs to be argued. If you misunderstood my original post and the definition of “introduced” – well, sorry dude. Not sure what else you’re looking for then.
Well aren’t you getting jumpy. A person disagreeing with the points you post is a shitstorm now?
I think you’re the one that needs to look up the definition of “introduce”. You know those terrible horse games that plagued the Wii and DS?
http://i52.tinypic.com/2s9t4hx.jpg
Same studios an everything. Valcon Games, 3G Studios, Humongous Entertainment, Torus Games or Data Design Interactive. Most of the studios producing shovelware on the Wii were in full force during the PS2 already, some even during the PS1 era. The only thing that changed was the type of controls and, seemingly, the amount of shovelware titles (because, again, the Wii cut them down to at least half the amount of the previous generation).
So, again, you seem to think the shovelware on the Wii was a new thing just because it now used motion controls instead of a regular dualshock, when in reality they were exactly the same.
Sure, some Wii shovelware couldn’t be more in-your-face (just take a look at the Imagine whatever series, or the Bratz games), but then you take a deep look at the PS2’s catalog and you see shit like the Petz series, Crazy Frog Racer, The Dog Island, the MicroMachines games, Hot Shot Golf, The Guy Game or the myriad of terrible licensed games by Activision, and the catalogs don’t seem to be that different anymore.
Wow dude, holy shit. Ok, keep riding the “introducing” thing and your own narrative that you’re applying here with how you’re trying to define it. You can try bullshitting all you want by saying the motion controls don’t matter and that didn’t make a difference, but it did. Motion controls changed gaming, for better and for (moreso imo) worse.
“So, again, you seem to think the shovelware on the Wii was a new thing”
No. No I fucking don’t. If you want to fault me for not fully elaborating on my point, fine. I still stand by the Wii being shovelware central in large part to it’s fad popularity and, absolutely, motion controls – and I’ll still stand by my point I later added regarding the combination of factors for the Wii. If you’re so bent out of shape that that wasn’t fully detailed in my first post so that you didn’t need to get your panties in a knot, you might have other problems to worry about first.
But hey, if you’d like to go past your one example of horse games and make a comprehensive list of shovelware games on both consoles, as well as which games were made “first” or in similar fashion by the same company for the PS2 instead of the Wii, be my guest and waste more time. It’ll certainly leave me impressed with how far you’re willing to go, along with some (a lot of) pitiful head shakes.
You are not qualified to talk about “pushing narratives” after displaying such blatantly manipulative pathos. Let’s play “counting logical fallacies”:
“Wow dude, holy shit”
“your panties in a knot”
” It’ll certainly leave me impressed”
Blatant appeal to emotion.
“You can try bullshitting all you want by saying the motion controls don’t matter and that didn’t make a difference”
Straw man 1 and reductio ad absurdum. I didn’t claim they didn’t matter in the overall picture, as you imply. I claim they didn’t matter in the production of shovelware because, again, going by raw numbers, we can see that there was less shovelware on the Wii than on the PS2. If you want to deny that logic, that’s on you.
“I still stand by the Wii being shovelware central in large part to it’s fad popularity and, absolutely, motion controls – and I’ll still stand by my point I later added regarding the combination of factors for the Wii”
I’ve never argued this. Straw man 2.
“you might have other problems to worry about first”
“It’ll certainly leave me impressed with how far you’re willing to go, along with some (a lot of) pitiful head shakes.”
Not only appeals to emotion, but ad hominem in both instances.
Sophisms aside:
“No. No I fucking don’t”
Then you should have said “introduced a schlock of motion-controlled shovelware”, not what you typed. This is not a case of the reader misinterpreting what you said, it’s you not using syntax correctly. I’m not taking your word out of context or twisting their meaning, that’s exactly what you said.
“your one example of horse games”
Nice to see you never looked up the studios I mentioned. Shows that you care more about being right than being correct.
“how far you’re willing to go”
This something everyone that grew up with a PS2 knows. I’m not going in an expedition to find some well-hidden figures or obscure games, you can find similar games to the ones I posted in any average garbage bin even today.
Discredit what I posted all you want with logical fallacies. It won’t change the fact that I have posted actual evidence to support my facts, unlike you.
And as far as this “shitstorm”, when someone doesn’t seem to understand something, yeah it gets to be a shitstorm.
My original comment:
” introduced a schlock full of shovelware with game companies jumping on the ‘waggle’ bandwagon, but it was simply to reap the benefits of the fad at that time.”
I don’t see any part of this that disregards the shovelware from the PS2. Whatever you’ve misunderstood, you’ve done so hard. If you still want to push your narrative, fine. But that just means no agreement will be met on either side. So. Have fun with that.
“when someone doesn’t seem to understand something, yeah it gets to be a shitstorm”
Then I guess it’s fitting for your case.
“I don’t see any part of this that disregards the shovelware from the PS2”
Again, straw man. Never said that.
“Whatever you’ve misunderstood”
I’m not the one misunderstanding things here. You are so convinced you expressed yourself correctly that you’re unwilling to actually read what I posted.
” If you still want to push your narrative, fine”
See the logical fallacies you threw left and right on the post above.
“But that just means no agreement will be met on either side”
I can’t agree with your complete lack of evidence, I’m afraid.
Except developers didn’t want to make games for it because the mini-discs held 1/4 of the space.
Also the PS2 had a DVD player built in when those were new, and roughly the same price. So basically a DVD player that also plays games rather than only watching DVDs. It’s not a fair comparison to today where disc space isn’t an issue, and people already have Blu-ray players or watch Netflix which Nintendo also offers. They’re on more even grounds then in the early 2000’s.
The only real hurdle is Nintendo getting consumers to believe they’re not a joke. That they can provide not only equal third party games but online services that are on par or exceed their competitors. Along with getting developers trusting their games will sell on Nintendo consoles, but also not provide a watered down experience (partially due to themselves and partially due to Nintendo’s hardware).
Hard to make people believe Nintendo isn’t a joke if they stop making games to make amiibo, make commercials out of puppets (star fox), and they force people to play games like stick star and color splash (paper mario). Nintendo had hardcore games and that’s dead. They just want to make games that are “fun” and even they don’t know what the fuck that means. Who the fuck in their right mind would green light someone to make a game use motion controllers that’s barely going to work and say ” yes, consumers will love this and will have so much frigging fun with it”? Dudes are lost, man.
The original Xbox was the most powerful of the three, at least on paper.
-||If it was then it’s even more pathetic considering it’s graphics were far worse than anything on the GCN||-
-||*its||-
That was the problem, nobody knew how to take advantage of the thing. The GC had some of the best looking games of its generation, I agree, but let’s call a spade a spade.
True. If it’s not super powerful, third party companies will just turn their nose to the air again.
Its dumb, but sadly true.
To court the 3rd Parties I just hope its either on par or even stronger than the “PS4k.” I don’t really care about graphics that much but I just want Nintendo to be very successful with the NX and it requires more horses under the hood
From what I’ve heard, the PS4K is just on par if not only slightly weaker than the Nintendo NX, which most likely due down to the fact that PS4K is really only going to use existing hardware (As in the PS4’s hardware) rather than opt for modern tech like the Nintendo NX will have.
The PS4K is most likely going to have an overclocked CPU and GPU to match that of the NX but it’ll probably miss it by 2.5%
The difference between both models can’t be very significant, or they would split their userbase. Eurogamer had a nice article (for once) about what the PS4 could be, and all points at a minor hardware improvement (11% more powerful GPU, I think it was) and 4K support for multimedia content.
These rumors are beginning to wear on my soul…
Think you’ll last until June? :P There’s definitely more coming.
*Groans* And to think I was looking forward to this moment.
Ima graphics Whore, and it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Nintendo to put out a powerhouse console. I’ve been patiently waiting for something like this for years, if it even happens. Still waiting for Nintendo to drop some bombs though.
The PS4 is fucked. Kimishima can’t be stopped

Ha ha ha ha! That was a great one!
This is such a common rumor it’s not really worth reporting, is it? Nintendo has never been about power so it’s more unbelievable really. It would be nice to see games in HD but really Nintendo games tend to be fairly cartoonish. We’ve got two months to go and a shit ton of rumors will be pouring in.
Nintendo has never been about power? What era of gaming were you born in? Because if I remember correctly the SNES was marginally more powerful than the Sega Genesis, the N64 was twice more powerful than the PS1 and the GameCube was more powerful than the PS2. Also to add not all Nintendo games have been cartoonish. Games like Xenoblade Chronicles X, Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and of course the Metroid series all have a more realistic art style and all are 1st party Nintendo titles so please learn your gaming history before trying to criticize
Nintendo only had the most powerful hardware during the fifth gen, though (the Saturn was weaker, right? I’m not that familiar with it). In every other instance, they’ve been the middle of the road option.
New consoles are more power than old/current consoles. That is always believable.
Besides the fact that it will be more powerful than the Wii U, if it’s not as powerful as XB1/PS4 then it will be dead on arrival. Who would buy a console that literally can’t be supported by third parties, and only by Nintendo games? They JUST tried that this gen and it gave them a hard slap to the face. They would have to be incredibly stupid to launch part-way through a new generation after both competitors consoles have been out, and still come up short. Forget shooting themselves in the foot, they’d be shooting themselves in the face with a double-barreled shotgun with grenades as ammo.
it’s supposed to be more powerful.
-||It will have 4 dimensions of anti-Xbot technology||-
Nintendo just release an image of it and give us just a peak! I can’t take it! I bet come e3 they’ll show a still image of it and close ups and say an all new console is coming next year! We’ll let you know more later.
*FacePalm!
I hope they fast track it and have it out by the end of the year with some heavy hitters with it too. I want a Metroid Zelda and Mario 128!
That is my expectation.
A new 3D Mario game should arrive sooner than later. I don’t think Koizumi is going back to the director’s chair any time soon, so maybe the SM3DW guys will give it another try.
I’m not that much of a techhead but if NX also has the cloud computing implemented that we have seen in the patents, won’t it give the NX a much greater power over what ever the specs of the PS4K might be ?
It should, yes i forgot about that cloud computing extra juice, good thing i got Google Fiber! xD
I’d like to know this too, since I’m not familiar with how cloud-based processing works. From what I understand, people only began to talk about that because of the pattent, and no leaker that I know of has mentioned that characteristic. It might not be part of the console at all.
I watched a discussion from Supermetaldave64 where they had an indepth discussion about it and from what I can understand it gives you an insane amounts of power, if I remember right from the the of my head. It’s basically like you own little server that can connect to the other “servers” and power each other.
No, I know the result. I’m interested in the advantages and disadvantages of its implementation, mainly because I recall hearing similar things about the Xbox One’s capabilities. If Microsoft, the techiest of the three manufacturers, abandoned that idea, there must be some kind of catch.
Hmmm you might be right about that, before I say anything wrong how was Microsoft supposed to implement it ?
Second thought, we might not hear so much about the Cloud because Nintendo wants us to focus on the entire PS4K debate so they can blow us away when it’s finally revealed.
I have no idea. I placed my attention elsewhere soon after the terrible reveal, I didn’t inform myself that much about what they were supposed to include, or why they backed off.
It might be that, but I think some kind of gimmick is more plausible. I strongly believe about the possibility of the NX having a portable gamepad similarly to the Wii U, only much more independent. Hopefully it won’t take a bite on the console’s performance too.
Yeah i’m really hoping for an independent gamepad for remote play also, specially for not constantly having to press start all the time to open up your inventory or the menus. So a more compact gamepad with playability on the go is warmly welcome.
Does anyone remember this thing?
http://www.ordipedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/neogeo-x-gold.jpg
It’ll be funny if the NX turns out to just be this thing.
Oh god! Stop yourself haha :D
You never know with Nintendo though!
I mean technically I think it’s the closest thing to a “hybrid console” that’s been released lol
I own one of these…nothing funny about it.
Is it actually any good? Because I’ve heard it was not very good…
I had completely forgotten about that. Jesus, SNK, you were too good for this market.
After purchasing Smash with ALL DLC ON BOTH WII U AND 3DS i hope we are offered an extremely attractive discount for the NX Port, or maybe give those of us who purchased both 3DS and Wii U a free download code even lol
Jesus Christ, you’re fucking crazy. Tell me you didn’t buy the Mii costumes, at least.
I BOUGHT EVERYTHING. Can’t take your money with you when you’re dead right?
Don’t worry I bought it all for both versions too…and I don’t even touch the 3DS version since the Wii U version came out.
I play the 3DS version on my breaks at work sometimes lol
I did too – all bundles. Never touched the Mii costumes but they came with the stages and characters and I wanted to support them fully i.e. YES DLC CAN BE A GOOD IDEA YES INTERNET IS GOOD MORE PLZ. However yeah the Mii costumes were ridiculous and whoever thought charging for those was a good idea I hope has been sacked
I did the same and same with the 3DS version lol
Imagine if Nintendo pulled a Sega and at E3 announced that at a future direct they would announce the NX. The rage would be palpable… I’m bored.
Just advertise the thing when it is out, and Nintendo should be good to go, because that was the biggest mistake they made with the Wii U.
They need far more than advertising to win over soured fans and new ones. They definitely need the advertising to be better, but that’s the least of their worries.
I have never, EVER seen this many rumors for a console before, not in all my years of video gaming. Nintendo better get in front of this hype quick, before expectations and misinformation become impossible to manage.
I’m not getting an NX (not a political thing, just don’t have the money/time for a new console right now) so if that Metroid rumor is true I’m gonna be pissed. Lol, JK, even if I can’t enjoy it I want the rest of y’all to!
Remember the “Nintendo Revolution” Days? There was worse and more hurting!
It is obvious.
Yeah now I’m really thinking Nintendo is releasing rumors. I hope they’re true.
So far I hoping this is true.
E3 can’t come soon enough. I want to hear some concrete facts about the NX straight from Nintendo. An early NX Nintendo Direct would be AWESOME!

Thanks for not only posting bogus stats, but bogus stats in another language.
“As you know, for some weeks there have been rumors of my rumors; I can now tell you that these are all rumors.”
Seriously, at the rate these rumors are coming out, we might get rumortoid arthritis from commenting about them so often.
Here. We go that’s it they did. The Nx is more powerful than PS4 and Xbox 1. Like the wii u supposed to be 3 to 4 time more powerful than xbox360 and PS3… U didn’t buy it when that rumour came out and I won’t believe that one (wondering why…). I won’t be surprised if Sony or MS spreading that rumour.
But it is, though. I don’t recall the PS3 and 360 having to render a game on two screens, in some examples at a high FPS count and with touch and gyro controls. No matter how you look at it, the Wii U is quite more powerful, it just gets distracted by multitasking.
inb4 PS4.5 outdoes it. EleGiggle
How is this a good thing exactly? Wouldn’t the PS5 be more powerful and we’ll have another weakest console on the market like the Wii U?
Nintendo has one advantage here: The PS4 and Xbox One are still fairly new and they’ll (hopefully) be around for a while. If Nintendo wants to succeed with NX, they need to bring a powerful console that is superior to the current gen consoles and strong enough to last until the next gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft take the throne again.
NX can last if Nintendo plays its cards right…but it’s Nintendo. Don’t keep your hopes high.
