I'm no game developer, but could the NX theoretically employ the Vulkan API if devs coded for it?

Nothing says comfy like a hinge in your grip.

Why the gently caress cant anyone make a comfy handheld gaming device? Neither nintendo or Sony can get it right.

PSP and VIta loving grip nightmares.

GBA SP and DS lite variants: WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD MY HINGE?

2ds: I hear the aliens on zarboz 3's hands bend this way!

3ds and 3ds XL: HINGE 2: SON OF HINGE

Gameboy Micro: A handheld for ants

GBA: We will give you comfort and a migraine from staring at the dark screen.


Like i dont remember the game boy color being uncomfortable but i was also 10 and a dumb poo poo at that age. I was just happy to be playing Oracle of Ages/Seasons.

So you're saying I already have the best handheld ever made? :haw:

in the past 2 weeks I've read that everything from Pascal to X1 will be the GPU and it will be anything from slightly better to a WiiU, to possibly comparable/better than XBone. poo poo is insane, I can't wait until they just show the loving thing already.

I wonder how Nintendo will handle region locking with the NX.

The 3DS locks the e-shop region to the hardware, somehow, so as of now you can't even import special edition N3DS units and switch e-shops with homebrew. I'd like to believe the NX won't do something equally ridiculous or worse, but it's Nintendo and they are capable of anything.

Before Iwata died, he said there high level discussions about potentially dropping region locking for the NX. I really hope they follow through though.

There's been no mention of backwards compatibility so don't keep your hopes up. Again, we'll have to wait for the direct when they talk more about it.

There was a video posted about a week ago that showed this exact tech. It was some guy for some company at a tech expo but I can't remember where in the thread it was before it exploded with posts.

Can someone post it again? I'm sure it was pretty much identical (sans dock) but I think it had a touch screen.

This thing?

But two months to build hype? I don't know if it's rose-tinted glasses but I remember they built hype for the Ultra and the Dolphin and the Revolution with constant pictures of alpha footage and hardware prototypes for years before the things came out

Anyone who's buying it day one has known about it since it was hinted at even before the name NX was uttered. They've already followed it for years. It's those people who will sing praises of it to the common man. The Fallon reveal was just their first foray in letting regular people know it's coming. Nintendo also claimed they kept wraps on it through out development to avoid having competition jump on the idea.
