I can't wait to get home from work and explore the vast Hylian Wilderness on a big tv, finding some shrines and getting their fast travel points so that I can solve their puzzles during my commute the next day while playing on the portable NX tablet.

What are you even booing here?

The local video game chain store by me is known nationwide for a token system it sells which parents can use to reward their children with time units of video game play.

quote:

Nintendo opted against revealing its new console at this year's E3, but plans to share more about NX later this year. Company president Tatsumi Kimishima has made it clear NX won't be a "pure replacement for the Wii U" and will instead offer a "new way of playing games" when it launches in March 2017.

As long as it becomes their new handheld and thus I can play Monhun on a real controller I'll be happy. It will play Zelda so we know at least it isn't like a phone app or something.

all we know is that it'll play zelda the same way the wiiu does (yet its getting released separately for the NX), it's not a "direct replacement" and nintendo has no interest in competing with sony and micro horsepower-wise.

its sounding more and more like a re-release of the wiiu with portable features or something lol

I probably won't be able to get a NX for a while sadly because I'll be returning to my poverty gaming habits soon aka, buying one or two full price games a year and emulating old crap on PC in between long map game sessions

being backwards compatible with the U is mandatory..if they just leave mario maker behind and never update it again, that would be like gamer holocaust

I'm realized I'm ok with it if it's primarily portable. I'm pretty stocked up on gaming in front of a tv, but wouldn't mind a more powerful portable that hopefully is a little more comfy to hold onto.

I actually brought my WiiU upstairs to play on the pad in bed or on the balcony :D

The Wii U is the only console I own, and that's okay.

It absolutely is a replacement for the WiiU. It's just marketing speech as they're trying to not absolutely kill WiiU sales for the next year.

Reminder that the DS was marketed as "a new way to game" and "not a replacement for the GBA". 3 pillars anyone?

Lmao I've been assuming it's a portable that docks into the tv but I just considered what if it's literally like a gamepad that doesn't use a tv or anything, some insane monkeys paw thing where its all portable and I'm doomed forever to play Monhun and all Nintendo games on tiny devices. Nintendo can't be that stupid but they also totally can be.

The NX is a millenial that plays games for you while you're out and about, you can call him whenever and he'll describe what's happening and follow your instructions so it's just like you're playing yourself even while you're driving to work or at the grocery store.
