They're independent but work exclusively for nintendo. Basically a second party. Just prior to Dark Moon they did some licensed Captain America game for Xbox 360/PS3

Yeah I used to work there in the Mario strikers era (different project). Nintendo's cutting their cheques but theres no first party exclusivity there unless things have changed.

yeah expect the nx release to be the full console version and 3ds to be the classic graphics version
it would be pretty dumb to not put ue4 support in a console in 2017

It's not really about a console supporting UE4 as it is UE4 supporting the console. Wii U didn't have UE4 primarily because Epic didn't want to port it to Wii U. UE4 is inherently scalable, so it's unlikely to have been hardware limitations. Theoretically, anyone with the UE4 source could go ahead and port it to Wii U, and Epic has said as much, though that hasn't happened.

So if Epic doesn't port UE4 for NX, someone else will have to do it. UE4 and Unity are competing, though, so if Unity gets ported to NX, that's incentive for UE4 to get a port done as well, especially if NX turns out to be a hit among indie/lower budget devs.

I remember when UE4 support for Wii U came up in an interview and the Epic guy just laughed. Good times. :)

"Hahaha no. I mean, sorry, it's not really a correct answer. We're not… we have Unreal Engine 3 for the Wii U. Right? And Unreal Engine 3 is powering all kinds of amazing games, still lots of games are being made with Unreal Engine 3. We announced today about a new Unreal Engine 3 license. Unreal Engine 3 doesn't disappear because of Unreal Engine 4. But our goal for Unreal Engine 4 console-wise is next-gen consoles. That's really what our energies are focused on. If you want to make a Wii U game, we have Unreal Engine 3, and it's powering some of the best games on the Wii U already. Nothing controversial, guys."

You can't really make a current gen engine magically work on a last-gen console without removing features to the point where you might as well just use UE3.

UE4 is coming to the Wii U but only because of the Bloodstained kickstarter and it'll be so late as to be worthless for anyone else.

I believe there was a stretch goal where they were getting Armature studio to handle getting it on Wii U and Vita just so the game could be ported to there.

Maybe Wii U will be like Dreamcast and people will release stuff for years after it's dead. Nothing is stopping someone from paying Nintendo to make a game for it. I guess Nintendo could refuse to keep licensing stuff.

Dreamcast is super easy to play burned games though which does help. So much untapped potential.

Nintendo announced the WiiU using a GPU similar to the HD 4670 the same year AMD announced and released their HD 7XXX series GPUs.

Let me just hold onto hope that Nintendo will opt for the more powerful processor before they crush my dreams and announce a special Tegra processor that is actually half the power of the X1 with 500MB of RAM

The Parker(X2) specs are actually not extraordinarily more powerful than X1, but are 60% more power efficient, which sounds Nintendo as gently caress and would be really good for a handheld console.

The CPU on the original 3DS was also two generations behind :v:

I honestly think they'll be using a semi-custom design from Nvidia instead of an off the shelf SoC, but we'll see.

Yeah, that poo poo dropped hard. I remember in late 1999 we had a CD burner and we did not get one when they were hideously expensive, but they were still like, $50+. And I remember this because that's when FF8 came out, and I was desperately trying to burn the first disc and get it to work in my (badly chipped) Playstation which I had downloaded from the internet a few days before the official release date, which was THE DAY BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED so I just wanted to play disc 1 before I could buy the retail copy, and each failed attempt, of which there were several, cost me like an entire dollar and it was nerve-wracking. I never did get it to work :(

The NX is actually the revolution Nintendo was hoping for. It's a car-console where you can drive and play Zelda: Breath of the Wild ON your windshield! The car itself is on the level of Honda in terms of speed & performance while the graphics engine running inside the car is nearly the power of the PS4. Be able to game wherever you want!

"If the Nintendo Car can't hit 0-60 in under 1.2 seconds while running Breath of the Wild what's even the point?"
"The fuel efficiency goes up when you play Virtual Console games, though!"
