 A mockup someone did of touch screen controls specific per game. Looks cool, though how practical it is it's entirely another matter. Also, that bevel contour and badly applied small label don't give it much credence as a real thing that actually exists, though it still looks impressively real for a mockup. e: an image illustrating what I meant:

The Walrus posted:still seems like a lot of work for no real reason, buttons are fine. Well, if real, I imagine they are going away with buttons to transition more easily into making games for both mobile and their console at the same time, not because buttons are bad or outdated or anything. Junpei Hyde posted:that controller was actually good though. Eh, honestly, no, not really. Ergonomically, it's not good. Functionally, it's not good either. It was revolutionary, sure, but it had problems. I'll say though I never expected the U tablet controler to actually feel good after its first reveal, but I ate crow there.

Butt Ghost posted:My 3D modeling teacher actually talked about the NX yesterday. He said that people have been trying to debunk the controller, but the screen image shown in the initial "leak" showed some Ubisoft asset or something, and the idea is that people wouldn't have that, maybe? Does anyone here know anything about that? You are getting two rumors mixed. The first "leak" showed a still of an Unreal 4 tech demo (at a very odd angle), while the second "leak" has some trees on the reflection that have been theorized to be the trees on the front of one of Ubisoft's studios. The reflection of two trees. The Internet makes you stupid.

Some new rumors. Basically, Nintendo is focusing first on the console, it's more powerful than the current PS4 "by a noticeable amount", four Wii U ports are being worked on but not all may see the light, and the architecture is believed to be x86 and not ARM. NDAs are so tight that nothing else has come out in spite of prodding from all directions. That's an achievement.

Jonas Albrecht posted:Could I get the Cliff Notes™ version of what this means? I imagine you are asking about the technical stuff and not shitposting your own thread, so I'll bite: PC architecture is x86, and both modern consoles (Bone and PS4) are x86. That's the instruction set of their CPUs. Nintendo traditionally worked with PowerPC for consoles (a now very dead architecture) and ARM on their handhelds. With ARM becoming much stronger in the past few years, it was believed that they would use that since the NX in theory is supposed to be both devices (console and handheld). A x86 handheld is pretty much impossible at the moment due to how much battery and size those CPUs take. Confirming that the console is x86, however, means that ports from PC/other consoles will be much, much easier to do. That in turn means, that if a NX handheld will come at some point, it will receive scaled down ports from the NX console, which not every company will do, sure, but if they have the right development setup (and even back then Iwata was saying that was their intention) it will be easy and thus will happen frequently. If anything, the wait to release a handheld may be intended for mobile hardware to get to the level that those scaled down ports won't look inferior.

If anything it sounds like Kimishima (and the late Iwata) had a good plan on how this will work out. It sounds like it will be a Genesis vs SNES situation, where the Genesis had the lead but the SNES had superior hardware and Nintendo exclusives, so the latter eventually won that particular console war. The only difference is that the Genesis did not have over 30 million systems in the hands of the public when the SNES came out, which the PS4 does.

CrashCat posted:Sounds like a starry-eyed pipe dream to me but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. I feel much the same. Amusingly enough, Sony may have just shot themselves on the foot here with that PS4K thingy. While people don't have to update, many will feel compelled to -- except if there is another system that is also stronger than their current hardware, that has third party support, but a unique selling point (cool Nintendo exclusives, for one thing), maybe those people won't go with the PS4K after all. Splitting their user base is generally unhealthy, yet this is what Sony is going to do. If Nintendo's in the right place, at the right time, they can use that to their advantage. It's fun to speculate. In fact, it's the only thing non-insiders can do right now. Other than shut up and play their videogame backlog.

A Smash 4 NX has been rumored for months including by that Emily Rogers lady. Don't give too much stock into what she says, though, she doesn't seem to be on the ball much lately. Still, it would be an easy system seller for those who didn't buy a Wii U.MinibarMatchman posted:I forgot the launch window games (first 3 months or so) Nintendoland and Nintendoland. They really, really pushed it to be the system's seller and it sadly misfired and then they completely disowned the game, even though it's one of the best party games on any system. It was followed by New Mario U (the best one yet, but as the fourth New Mario game it was mostly ignored), Zombi U (Ubisoft's attempt at a unique new IP that would take advantage of the console, quietly ignored), and Pikmin 3 a few months later. Tons of other third party games, though, including from EA and Warner Bros, but as most of those were ports of games released several months earlier people wrote them off completely.

Miyamoto on an interview with Associated Press: "In terms of NX, there's an idea that we're working on," said Shigeru Miyamoto. "That's why we can't share anything at this point, and I don't want to comment on the other companies. If it was just a matter of following advancements in technology, things would be coming out a lot quicker." The NX is either going to be earth shattering revolutionary or a tremendous let down what with all the secrecy and hype and then *fart*. Can't wait for September. Imagine I inserted a picture here of that History Channel aliens guy but he's saying "holograms". I'm bad at Photoshop.

Disney Infinity had no Alice in Wonderland model (the original, not that Tim Burton abomination). It is therefore a failure. In NX rumors, the newest one is from some dude who studied a bunch of free-form 3D patents from Nintendo and is making a case that the NX would turn any TV into a 3D system with head tracking similarly to the Nu3DS. Or something. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Jul 1, 2016 |

More Izzy! More Nintendo 90's-styled videos! Oh, hey, something new: the president of Ubi "please don't buy us" soft, Yves Guillemot, has come on record to say they will be supporting the NX day one on an interview with GameInformer. “You can expect we’ll support Nintendo. Nintendo is one of the best partners in the world.” “We could see it wasn’t selling as fast as expected, so we reorganized around other platforms. With the Wii U, we were able to relaunch Rayman 2D. It was a good thing for the company and the brand and its fans. If you remember, it was supposed to be Wii U exclusive, but we made it multi-platform when we saw it wasn’t selling fast enough. The Wii U has done quite well. It’s still a Nintendo machine with lots of great franchises, and we’ve sold lots of copies of Just Dance on it.” And speaking of Just Dance and Rayman, those weren't the only titles they released on the U. Of the big studios they are clearly the one who put more third-party titles on the system. Here's a list: • Assassin's Creed III • Assassin's Creed IV • Rayman Legends • Avengers: Battle for Earth • Zombi U • Rabbids Land • Your Shape Fitness • Sports Connection • Watch Dogs • Splinter Cell Blacklist • Child of Light • Just Dance 2014 • Just Dance 2015 • Just Dance 2016 • Just Dance 2017 Though I imagine people will only remember Rayman Legends and Zombi U affectionately. Still, it bodes well for the NX if Ubisoft is saying they are on board. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jul 3, 2016 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCh9--2xcKk CG trailer for what's likely Sonic Generations 2 (no official title given yet, though). It's coming to NX along with PS4, PC, and Bone. Since it's not coming to smartphones and the like, that should be some confirmation the NX can run games requiring superior tech than Wii U for what it's worth.

Exclusive picture of the prototype: (not actual prototype) Eurogamer may have jumped too ahead to get this "exclusive reveal" that may turn out to be entirely wrong, but it's looking like this might be it. Between Nvidia's Tegra and rumors that it wouldn't be as powerful as the PS4 (try to miniaturize one of those into a handheld) and the fact Japan's home console market is entirely dead, it's not entirely surprising.

Al-Saqr posted:lol it wont be able to play WiiU games let alone PS4, the tegra chip is way too underpowered for that. Tegra X1 (2015) is superior to the GPUs of the X360, PS3, and Wii U. The X2 (2016/2017) will be slightly more powerful than that and using Vulcan. Even if they underclock the X2 for energy saving, the NX handheld will still be vastly superior to the older consoles. And portable.

Digital Foundry still trying to milk anything with the NX on the name, now compares how Gamecube/Wii emulation works on Tegra X1 so we have a basis of comparison if NX will be able to run those in its VC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGdHM8AIhvw This is using the Dolphin emulator on Android. Android adds some overhead, Dolphin is of course not 100% accurate, and the Shield Tablet isn't using Vulkan. And yet, framerates are close enough that taking those three things out of the equation, Nintendo could pull it off with proper accuracy if they thrown enough M2 wizards at it.

Steve2911 posted:So if the EG stuff is true, Breath of the Wild is probably going to be the most technologically impressive game we see on the system ever, and may look and play worse than the Wii U version. What have you been reading to reach this conclusion? The Tegra X1 chip is vastly superior to both the CPU and GPU on the Wii U, and that's the old chip we know of. There's still a possibility it will be a superior one even. Hell, you quoted my comments about old system emulation. If you know anything about how emulation works you'd know the Wii U can't actually pull even Nintendo 64 properly. And that's from 20 years ago.
