MCV has their own set of deep throats in the biz.

MCV posted:

The same sources confirmed that the Eurogamer report last week - which revealed that NX will be a portable machine that can be plugged into a TV and features a breakaway controller – is ‘100 per cent accurate’.

Game graphics will be ‘somewhere between a PS3 and PS4’, with Nintendo targeting an audience that sits between smartphone gamers and the more hardcore users of PS4 and Xbox One.

“It’s a nice bit of kit, a bit of a novelty, but a good one,” said one exec that has got hands on with the machine. “It won’t appeal to PS4 fans. Nintendo seems set on trying to upgrade smartphone gamers. That’s going to be a big job for the marketing department.”

If that's true, Nintendo's Blue Oceans strategy is still in effect.

Hello, someone disparaged the squid jump control scheme in Splatoon, saying they could just have ignored the second screen and used a combination of buttons to do the same. That's turbo nerd talk. If the casual console player would have the option to either use the screen or the buttons, they'd most likely just use the screen. See a Squid you want to jump to? Press it on the screen. That kind of simple and intuitive design was probably part of the reason why it became such a huge hit with a large variety of demographies. They don't want to suddenly learn Street Fighter combos just to do a simple long jump.

You're setting yourselves for a disappointment if you think Nintendo is going head to head with PS4 and XBone in terms of processing power. Nintendo went the cheap-skate route years ago.

Here, i'll do Nintendo's marketing for them, provided the rumors are true:

Capitalize on the Pokemon GO thing, and call it the 'Nintendo GO.' The marketing slogan is 'Play wherever you GO.' Your commercial is a person playing something on the tv, disconnecting the handheld and continuing the game from home on the bus, and then getting home and plugging it back in to the dock and continuing the game from the bus. Emphasize that it's the same games, no matter what 'mode' you have the system in.

There, Nintendo. A clear, concise message that leaves no doubt about what the NX is. Feel free to do none of that, because you're Nintendo.

It's not exactly original, though. I mean, there's already Hitman GO, Tomb Raider GO, Lara Croft GO etc. Even before Pokémon, there was Angry Birds Go! (Not to mention CS:GO...)

It might not be in Nintendo's interest to mix the NX with those.

I wonder how quickly it's going to be cracked open by the homebrew scene.

Considering how long it took to crack the 3DS, probably years. If Nintendo were serious about security, they'd take out the browser capabilities anyway. Webkit exploits are an old trick that have been used effectively, most recently on the Vita.

On another topic: Here's VideogamerTV's list of 7 games the NX should launch with.

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.

It feels cheap as poo poo but it's fantastic once you get used to it. Also there's no better controller for shooters if you're dumb enough to play shooters on controllers.

The year is 2028.

Microsoft has just released the newest Xbox. It is simply named Xbox, and it's a streaming service for streaming yourself watching other streaming services.

Nintendo slowly fell apart after 2016, when the NX was never announced. At some point the entire Nintendo of America office building simply disappeared, no ones sure when, because so little was heard from Nintendo before that point anyway.

Sony has released the PlayStation 6 10K VR Pro+. They have long forgotten the original purpose of the PlayStation, it not only has no games, it has no ability to play games. It's a solid slab of plastic. Kotaku has praised Sony for its "sleek modern design."

Gaming is finally dead, and the fools in this forum are cheering.

Quoting this to appreciate it even more.

Boogie apparently talked with two people from Ubisoft who got to use the NX, which from their accounts suggests the thing might really be a hybrid console that you can take with you to play. Although if I understood correctly, not in the level of having a Wii U in your pocket.

Here's the part in Boogie's Q & A session.

IGN posted:

“Yeah, it's a very complicated problem,” Iga said. “The reality is this: As timelines move on, certain pieces of hardware become irrelevant. Sometimes new pieces of hardware come out that make you think about what is the right strategy. And as a creator, usually you want to make stuff for the new hardware. That's the reality.”
