Clappy Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/01/nintendo-nx-android/ According to the link, sounds like Nintendo is going to put the commercial flop of the Wii U behind it in a year or two down the line. While they aren't actually going to start revealing details for the console until next year, the idea of it running on Android is intriguing. I wonder if this will be something completely different from the home console.
CyanideFishbone Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I own a Wii U and I'm still excited. Wii U did have some great games on it, but this will be interesting. Can't wait to hear more about it.
Space Cowboy Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 IT'S NOT EVEN 3 YEARS doesn't have to be 3 years lol, this is how technology evolves, as long as it's better then who cares
4EverGreen Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Whatever happens, Nintendo has NO plans on becoming the next Sega! Nintendo has been around since 1889, so it obviously knows how to evolve with the times!
crushingmayhem Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I predicted this before, obviously the Wii U's sales haven't been the best in the last few years. They probably took notice of that and decided to announce new hardware. 3 years might seem early to announce a new console but with the Wii U not doing so well despite some good games that have come out lately it seems reasonable for them to announce this, especially when its being outsold by the other consoles. All I can say is that I hope for the best, and hopefully they'll make a more on par console this time around.

crushingmayhem Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 This is Nintendo's make or break moment, if they succeed i'm sure they'll have all the games we want plus good third party support. But if they don't succeed then I see this pushing them further into irrelevancy. Who knows what will happen but I can safely say that it has to be successful no matter what, it all depends on Nintendo's actions with the hardware. Hopefully they won't make another underpowered machine.
Jane Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I want it to have decent third party support and be as powerful as the Ps4/Xboner. Having backwards compatibility would be nice too and I hope they launch it with some good games. Maybe have Zelda be a cross gen title and have a Metroid/new 3d Mario?
Metal Snake Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Dat controller. I'm actually optimistic about this, but yeah, I'm also hoping they have a good selection of third-party shit and backwards compatibility. No backwards compatibility is what killed a lot of my interest in the PS4. Also not really turned on by the XBOXONE... 55 minutes ago, Teamwork said: I want it to have decent third party support and be as powerful as the Ps4/Xboner.

The Xboner on the other hand, I'd love to play that...

Guest Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 This is seriously Nintendo's time to shine. If they can come out with something that is revolutionary, yet not gimmicky, then Nintendo can really steal Sony and Microsoft's thunder. But if they flop again... I'd say it's game over. Although, on the off hand, Pokemon Go looks promising, and shows that Nintendo is considering moving onto other platforms as a backup strategy.

Yeah I think if the NX fails they're done with home consoles. I'd assume they'd switch to mobile/handheld only. I know Ninty has a lot of money in the bank but they can't survive as a business the way they have been for a few years. I know specifically that Amiibos are a big reason Nintendo are even making a profit.
Clappy Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 I want to say that I made a thread for this last year after finding out rumors of this happening. Glad to know this is official though and while I don't think it's "game over" if this flops for future Nintendo home consoles, they badly need this to be a success. I'm loving the sounds of this console and that controller though and will definitely be buying one since I've owned every single Nintendo console, why not one more.

Iwata (RIP) confirmed it last year IIRC at a conference. He didn't specifically give any details but he said they had a "dedicated game console" in development. Although most consoles take several years in development anyway. They started working on the PS4 in 2008 and are according to rumors in very early stages of development on the PS5 too.

Microsoft Windows already does more or less the same thing with each new Windows release; so come up with your OWN thing, Sony!

It's been that way since the PS2.

That takes the imagination of Walt Disney, man. Sony just calls their home consoles by numbers because each one is an upgrade to the Playstation. A sequel. It's for simplicity. Getting on them for just using numbers to mark the sequels is like...getting on every entertainment franchise producer that just calls the sequels to their works by number.
