The idea of all of Nintendo's output being in one console sounds pretty dope, though I'm still wanting a straight up home console in my heart, I guess we'll see when this thing gets announced.

Patter Song posted:I think we'll get those specs in September. That also could turn out to be just the home console dock. Where it normally is a powerful handheld, but then you dock it in for tv use and then games get a major fidelity upgrade. I mean, Nintendo already has games that work better/worse on different hardware (3DS/New 3DS). No need for it to be their version of the PS4 Neo yet.

So if the NX does take over the handheld support the 3DS and Vita currently receive (quite likely), that's a ton of Japanese 3rd party support, all playable on the bigger screen if you want. If they pull this off right, while they'll still miss most Western multiplats (barring kid-friendly stuff like Legos), at least they won't end up in the "this system is supported by Nintendo and Nintendo alone" state the Wii U did.

Nintendo needs to build a middleware/devkit platform that makes it easy for developers to make games run smoothly at the portable resolution and then seamlessly scale internal rendering resolution up, or even load higher-fidelity assets or enable additional graphics features, when hooked into the dock and its (hopefull) additional co-processors. This has to be something devs don't have to worry about implementing on their own if Nintendo wants their scalability initiative to actually stick the landing. Also I hope the non-docked config has USB ports so I can hook up my GCN controller even on the go.

I will gladly buy an NX if it means I can have a console and handheld with access to the same games. Being able to have a single game for at home and away from home (read: laying in bed) will be glorious! Now here's hoping they don't have a dozen add on peripherals and widgets and five controllers that are not universally functional with every game.

There's a chance that the NX will be a more compelling target for ports than the Wii U. There's a lot of folks who would pay for a portable version of major console games.

Since all indications are that NX is going to be a cartridge system, what's the chance that it could have a slot to accept 3ds / maybe DS games to play on a bigger screen? Assuming that the NX controller will have a touch screen, of course.

Feel like this is a load of wishful nerd thinking. I can't see them releasing a handheld when between the recent release of MonHun Generations and the November release of Pokemon Sun & Moon you'd have two really popular system sellers which wouldn't have a game ready for the NX in some time.

DoctorWhat posted:Of course digital is going to be an option. I think his concern is that games are going up to 32 GB and this thing is a handheld, it's not going to really hook up to an external hard drive (though the dock might). You're going to need an entire drawer filled with SD cards if you go that route. Even if the NX starts out with a 64 GB SD card in it, that's, like, two full retail games. Even if most NX games don't come close to touching 32 GB in size, that's, like, 3 full retail games.

Chas McGill posted:Even if there are hardware upgrades, I expect all games will be compatible: they'll just run at 60fps/higher resolution or whatever - much like the PS4K etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the handheld component has a lower res screen (720p would be fine if it's small) and then it uses extra power from the docking station to output a higher resolution for TVs. i think this might be a bit too hopeful. maaybe, maaaaaaybe it will natively output 1080p and they'll bump the clock speed when on a/c power, but i would not count on it. co-processors in docking stations just don't work very well. sure some laptops have external graphics but its usually just a standard PCI expansion and that is like apples to oranges to what we're talking about. i mean its possible but you gotta occams' razor this - do you think nintendo is going to take a stretch with a feature that has never really worked well when ~their vision~ is easily attainable without that feature? like a console dock with controller ports that upscales to 1080p is at this point not even fancy. it's just that nobody has bothered putting something like that together into a user experience. nigga crab pollock fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jul 26, 2016 |

Assuming that the NX controller will have a touch screen, of course. Extremely unlikely. Reports make it seem like it's running on a very different chip from the 3DS and Wii U, so we're starting completely fresh.

Some 2D games might look okay, but anything involving a 3D model is gonna be a real pixelated mess.

Eh. MonHun X/Gen was just a game anniversary they made mostly reusing assets and engine tools from 4U. Also MonHun X/Gen has been out in Japan since last year. I would not be shocked to see MonHun 5 on NX as a holiday game next fall/winter, at least in Japan. Dunno about the localization.

Both of those games look good on 3DS but are obviously 3DS games, not HD next gen looking getups. Nintendo also desperately needs them (especially Pokemon) to try and make some money before the NX finally releases as software is few and far between right now.

It is worth noting that the upcoming Sonic 2017 game is going to be on PS4 XBone and NX so that does suggest some level of similar performance between the hardware (unless the NX version is going to be a complete different game).

There are a huge amount of Nintendo followers who didn't care one bit about mobile / portable gaming, me included. To sacrifice power for the sake of portability is a kick in the nuts to be honest.
