Zelda series has the most missteps of a mainline Nintendo franchise: they're the most complex and have the most different parts and pieces.

Hopefully that video is wrong about the battery life. A mobile console should be able to at least get 5 hours of battery life IMO and if this thing is around the 3 hour mark or whatever would be considered "pretty bad" that's gonna suck. Also, always figured it'd be below the PS4 in power but was hoping for it to be similar to the Xbox One in power so we'll see how that ends up shaking out.

I think what Emily and this video are forgetting is they are getting leaks about the dev kits, which they and other sources are saying are running on some kind of overclocked Tegra X1 using active cooling. The final unit is not going to be using active cooling or overclocking its GPU.

Other features they are hearing about the dev kit like a separate TV out port(not part of the dock) are also unlikely to be in the product unit. The 3DS dev kits also have tv out.

And Rogers and LPVG also keep reporting conflicting numbers for basic dimensions. Uh, hello, these are all dev kits, probably different generations of dev kits, and probably not any of them exactly accurate to final product.

OK, yeah, but why would you add sharing screenshots and videos but remove voice chat and camera? That's one step forward, three steps back

They almost never had voice chat and the camera was always a useless boondoggle. Who knows though, if they want voice chat they can throw in a cheap headset(they don't want voice chat)

If it'll use flash storage like the Wii U, but with a different architecture since it's not gonna be backwards compatible at all, can we reasonably expect 256gb of internal? It'd still kinda suck but it'd be usable.

NX stands for "Newell Xperience", it's the codename for the newest Steambox. Nintendo went full on PC development. Expect all the Dota kids to be throwing slurs via voice chat when playing Splatoon 2.

Dunno why you'd expect a feature like this when Nintendo has very consistently encouraged you to go and and spend time with your friends in person for the last 20+ years. Literally yesterday they announced a version of Mario Maker that requires you to be standing next to someone in order to share a level with them.

Haha rumors say 32 gig internal storage only, if that's the case Nintendo please don't even bother launching this thing after the WiiU storage debacle people had to go through.

Unless the dock has extra memory then maybe it's forgivable.

It's more that we didn't even know for sure that it's a handheld until a few months ago. Right now it actually makes perfect sense.

I'm not surprised there's no mic, I can't even talk to my buddy privately in online MK unless we want to race just the two of us. They did such a great job on Miiverse IMO trying something new, but then handicap every feature that would appeal to adults who don't live on the same street as their friends.

Prime 1 has a fetch quest. As fetch quests go, it's not bad, but it's still a fetch quest.

I thought it was really great because 1) you get rewarded by being curious and exploring random nooks and crannies the first time through the game, so by the time you get to needing to grab all of them, you might already have a bunch and 2) the location of everything is straightforwardly pointed out so you don't have to just scrub every room forever, infuriatingly and 3) you get a really great sense of progression when you go back to old places you may have struggled with the first time but you get to gently caress everything up

Not to mention if you like finding the expansions, going back through the rooms after getting all the upgrades gives you another chance to connect ones you may have missed the first time.

Yeah, it was really well done and Prime 1's world was small enough that you could get from one end to another pretty quickly.
