A bunch of more rumors about Nintendo’s upcoming NX system have surfaced online. They reportedly come from a “large retail partner” that claims to know undisclosed details regarding NX marketing plans, bundle options, packaging features and specs. One rumor suggests the console will launch with at least four games, including an unannounced Mario title. Read on below for more purported leaks:
Marketing
- “Interact with your game on the go.” phrase seen on a poster.
- Strong co-branding effort with a Mario launch title on many posters.
- Console is currently set to launch with least 4 titles on deck.
- Stores should be receiving demo units around February.
- Base price point seems to be sitting at $299.99
Bundle
- The NX is currently set to have a bundle option.
- The contents of this bundle is currently unknown.
- Bundle price is currently sitting at $399.99
Packaging
- The packaging for the NX will be slightly larger than the Wii U’s packaging.
- The packaging is relatively clean and simple and is similar to the Wii U in terms of package design.
- The color scheme for the packaging is white and blue (compared to the Wii U’s blue and black).
- The packaging still says “NX” however there is still no indication if this is a placeholder or the final name.
- The areas of the packaging that would usually depict the hardware were blurred and redacted by Nintendo in attempt to keep it hidden.
Features and Specs
- Games will be on cartridges
- 4k streaming has been mentioned. – What this likely means is playback of content such as Netflix, etc. Not gameplay.
- 1080p and 60fps are being used by the marketing teams in relation to gameplay on to the console portion. I’ve heard unconfirmed rumblings of 900p for the infamous hybrid part of the device.
What could be bundled to raise the price a whole hundred bucks? I wonder…

NOT a terrible idea. In the words of Frank Sinatra’s song “Love & Marriage”… and I quote, “You can’t have one without the other.” The “NX” platform is a combination of both… the home console and a handheld device. Remember the cross-play concept of the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo GameCube as well as the PlayStation 3 and 4 & the PS Vita? Think about the future.

I highly doubt there will be a smash bros game at launch. It could be another 2-3 years for that to happen. There could be a lame port of the WiiU version (with possible add ons to bribe customers) but if that happens, fans would be afraid/mad that Nintendo will consider the port as the NX’s main SmashBros game, in turn, would mean no real successor.
LikeLike
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumblings of Smash coming out on the NX at launch. It’s definitely going to be a port of Smash Wii U though. Hopefully they added something new to it (assuming this is all true). Otherwise there’d be no point in it. The Wii U version is already 1080p60 anyway.
So, what the heck would be the point in the port? I mean, it’s always nice to have more games though. I don’t know, I guess it kinda comes across as a bit of a cash grab.

The port could have all the content of the Wii U and 3DS versions plus DLC.

If it does get ported then I wont mind at all, so long as it doesn’t replace a REAL SmashBros NX game. I would hate for the WiiU version to be the primary SSB game for NX… the online play is disgusting, so boring, and limited— along with other flaws about the game. :’/

You have to remember, if the system sells like hot cakes, there will be tons of folks who skipped Wii U who didn’t get to play those games. So, I look forward to the Wii U ports. I won’t mind a bit.

You have a point…If this is the case and sakurai did say there is a smash in the works, This can be just a appetizer if they give NX a Smash Wii U/3ds port. But I have to agree…2 games is a good price with extra memory for 400 dollars. I might miss this day one because of that price though due to bills. That’s not going to sit well with me.

Contary to what Microsoft, EA, Konami, and Activision what you to believe, platformers are the definitive genre of video gaming, which is why Mario is Nintendo’s main mascot, and and Mr. Video Game in general. Sadly enough, Mario is one of the few platformers left, with Donkey Kong and Kirby being secondary options for Nintendo.

Precisely! That’s what all the hybrid people don’t get. A separate handheld and console let the two products focus on what handheld or console gamers look for in a their system of choice without requiring people to buy into the part that doesn’t interest them.
A hybrid would just abandon both bases in hopes that they’ll follow them to this new concept. It’s far riskier than the Wii U or Wii ever were and they could the benefits of a hybrid from a shared platform anyway.

If this is true then the first 3 games could very likely be a mario game (of course), Zelda, and that one game that Nintendo likes to bundle in order to show off the consoles features like Wii Sports did for Wii as NintendoLand;WiiU.
For the 4th… well that could be anything, and would depend on Nintendo if they want to have bring alot of the big guns at launch, otherwise it could just be a lame shovelware title or 3rd party game or a cancelled/ported WiiU game or a new IP.
Or on the more unlikely side, it could be something fans have been begging Nintendo for, like, Metroid/Pokemon/F-Zero etc.
