All of the Tegra family of processors are actually really good at FP16 operations which the other customers don't even natively support, so you would actually be able to run certain engines(mainly unreal 4) super well on this thing and get comparable results to the more powerful over that are having to brute force it.

Wow, that's really interesting.

And thoroughly pointless, because the NX is powered by the same chipsets you could find in a microwave circa 1988.

It's cool how strict Yoshi's Wooly World is about colors of yarn. Like the yarn ball you get for eating an enemy matches the enemies main color, the yarn collectibles for the yoshi unlocks match the colors of the yoshi itself, and the color balls on unlocked level are all logical as well. There's so much attention to detail in that game.

It would be a difficult task to port Breath of the Wild to a system only designed to display four numbers but of course Nintendo is amazing and did it.

It runs on the X7, which is the worst game in the series, and the X6, which is poorly designed but which got poo poo out in a year.

Every console port that isn't Doom 3 runs like dogshit on the Shield so I'm willing to bet the results aren't as comparable as you think. And that's fine. Not leaning into multiplat console war is smart for Nintendo at this point, especially if they're emphasizing across the board portability.

The Shield uses Android as a base for the OS, which has a comical amount of overhead keeping the software further away from the hardware. If you custom built an OS for that thing that allowed Devs better access to the hardware you would see much better performance. This isn't going to be some multiplat powerhouse or anything but using the shield's performance as a base is a bit off.

Rumor is the NX actually has an Nvidia Titan X in it with a core i7 processor. It will weigh 50 lbs but be sold as not only a gaming system but a way to be healthier since you can use it as a weight to lift at the gym.

This may have been true in the days of Windows 3.1, where your GUI OS got slapped on top of the OS your system booted into, but it's really not true at all anymore. "Muh resources!" really isn't costing you all this magical performance. Console games benefit from static hardware targets, but that comes on the form of optimizations working equally well on every box, not some magical "better access to hardware," whatever the gently caress that means. Hardware - be it on a console running on whatever OS the PS4 has, or assembled components running Windows - tends to run more or less as its specs say it will. Modern OSes know how to get out of the way, Android included. The Shield is as good an example of plug-it-into-the-wall Tegra X1 as can be found, and you can't just wrote off its shortcomings as "well, you know, ANROID!"

It's amazing that the NX could finally download more RAM and make rubes of millions of jokesters, dare I say memers, on the Internet.

Hardware - be it on a console running on whatever OS the PS4 has, or assembled components running Windows - tends to run more or less as its specs say it will. its not magical, its that on console devs generally code to the metal, or close, rather than having to use abstraction layers. windows etc have to go through directx because the hardware configurations available on pc make it impossible to do anything but generalize, whereas on dedicated hardware you are able to code for the specific things you know will be there. thats why relatively underpowered boxes like the ps4 are able to push out games like uc4 while a pc using a strict spec match would be utterly unable. thats where the optimisations come from, lower level access for developers. please never talk about things you dont understand again, thank you.

I'm late but hey: 1. Nintendo Land - Honestly justified my console purchase within the first month. Best "casual" multiplayer game I've ever experienced outside of Rock Band 3. 2. Tropical Freeze - Got it pretty late when it was a Club Nintendo reward. Assumed it wouldn't live up to Goon hype but boy was I wrong. One of the few games I've bothered to 100% in my adult life. 3. Splatoon - Jeeze, how is this game so good. Can zone out and play it for hours and I'm not even into online shooters. 4. Pikmin 3 - Beautiful and fleeting, like a dream. Might be a spot higher if it was a bit longer. But man I had a great time playing this. 5. NSMBU - I have weird friends that couldn't really get into 3D World, so New U is the one I had the most multiplayer fun with, giving it the slight edge in the field of Wii U Mario. Can't wait to see what the NX will bring us.

Yeah I bought a Wii U partly on the expectation that Xenoblade X would be good but I never even ended up playing it. Also Rayman Legends, which is more fun on literally every other platform because playing as Murphy sucks.

I've played some good games on the Wii U, but to me Splatoon remains as the clear highlight. Hell, it's why I got the system in the first place. Other good games worth checking: Super Mario Maker, Hyrule Warriors, Pikmin 3, Xenoblade Chronicles X. Also special mention for Project Zero 5 for being something that I plan to continue playing but always postpone it. As for disappointments, Mario Kart 8 is clearly that. It's not bad, it's just... there. There's nothing that really grabs me, and I've played Mario Kart 7 to death. No. 1 Callie Fan fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Sep 12, 2016 |

I 100% thought I was done with Mario Kart forever, had just played enough, and wasn't sure why I had bought even the DS version because I was tired of it by then. But then they had that Buy 1 Get 1 deal for MK8's launch, and Best Buy also had a nice preorder deal on top of that, so I figured I'd try it anyway. And I love so so much.
