we know that the new zelda will play "identically" on both this and the wiiu, so thats a lot of evidence that its probably backwards compatible. they really are just re-releasing the wii u as a portable lol

hope these deets mean the official direct will come soon

I have a hard time believing that it's literally just a portable PS4 with a huge screen. Seems like there'd be a lot of hurdles to miniaturize that amount of tech and provide Nintendo acceptable levels of battery life and price point.

I feel like all these rumors are just guys spitballing off of the idea of a "portable" WiiU because they can't think of anything else.

Nvidia is doing most the the technical stuff for them, and actually already ships portable stuff that is that powerful. The difference is that those were lovely android tablets, while this is Nintendo.

If that's the nx I think it's cool they have portable multiplayer so people don't have to buy their own system if you want to break out into a pick up nsmbnx sesh

no one makes console games anymore for example the xbone has been out for 3 years and sitll has the wrong kind of ram and no game, and it took 2 years for the ps4 to get its first game. so it will take nintendo at least 2 years to make a 1st party game for the nx, after launch

Thankfully the nx is a Nintendo portable that plugs into your tv

Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers, a number of sources have confirmed to Eurogamer.

On the move, NX will function as a high-powered handheld console with its own display. So far so normal - but here's the twist: we've heard the screen is bookended by two controller sections on either side, which can be attached or detached as required.

Then, when you get home, the system can connect to your TV for gaming on the big screen.

A base unit, or dock station, is used to connect the brain of the NX - within the controller - to display on your TV.

I'm ok with this

But I still don't understand them when they say it's not a Wii U replacement

Soral is the person who broke the heart of gamers everywhere with the Mario Maker fire update picture. I choose to believe the new system will be cool instead of a Wii-U Portable.

the nx is a very powerful handheld system that can hook up to a tv, not a home console system that you can take with you on the go. i hope this helps you understand why it is not being advertised as a replacement for the home console system that nintendo already sells.

You're incredibly wrong and I'm just sitting here laughing thinking about it.
