Pointless. The idea of making multiplat games for tegra is asinine.
Eurogamer: NX = portable w/ carts, detachable controllers, Tegra, TV Out, no BC, Sept

March release
Yeah no.
What about the clickable scroll wheel thing
just like your post then
I like my Wii U, 3DS and game library. They can coexist with the NX for me. Super Smash, Mario Maker & Splatoon will most likely come to NX as ports or in Splatoon's case maybe a full sequel. Buyer's remorse can always turn into regrets in selling off systems and libraries. I've spent more money buying back games I once owned than I made selling games in my collection.

They're tripling down on the Japanese market.
Lol I bet they will.

So how is this meant to work when you're playing on the TV? Do we still have to use a controller with a screen in it or do we detach both of the side controller things from the screen and stick them together to make a controller? I hope controllers we buy for local multiplayer won't be too expensive.
All the buttons are clickable scroll buttons. A,B,X,Y, D-PAD...everything. Nintendo Scroll.
That would be so fucking cool. The SCD would make much more sense for a console like this.
Nintendo Go is actually pretty good.
None. You buy one so you can play Nintendo games.
...folks...this is the gimmick.....

I know.
For a home console it's welcome!
If they include instruction manuals then I would be really hyped

Exactly. And people like me who will never buy another portable can use it as a console.
And people that like both can use it both ways.
Best of both worlds as long as it's priced right so that people not using it both ways don't feel it's too expensive due to features they don't use.
Well, I think having the cross shape of the buttons acts as a "sort of" D-Pad, at least to have that sort of left/right parity. I went back and forth on it though, for sure!
It's super cute i like it but the screen won't be that ratio man
My skills suck to do otherwise, haha! I figure the top screen would be better since it's a better screen ratio, but I got lazy! (At work, LOL!!)
I might try to fix the ratio in a second though, unless someone beats me!

If this is legit, my ride on the NX hype elevator has reversed course and is heading toward the basement.
I was looking for a console, not a mobile device which connects to the TV. I just don't want to carry around any other device other than my phone. My iphone 6 plus is too big already.
This is great for a successor to the 3DS. A nice powerful handheld, but I'm underwhelmed at the idea of using this as a console.
I'm really hoping there's more to it than this because if it's just a handheld, it better be priced right. I'm not spending more than $200 for a dedicated gaming handheld.

Give me $750 on Wii. $10 on NES. $250 on the field as a safety net.
Edit: Let me know when I can start parlaying bets with launch game announcements.

With a new system just being added to the Wii U Virtual Console lineup there's no question that the current Virtual Console library will continue on the NX. Why else would they add a whole new library so late in the systems lifecycle?
See this carts ars SD Cards or 3DS carts. No recquired installations unlike discs which recquire them.

Considering this is getting an HD Pokemon game, I think we'll be fine then.

my face is in my hands
are people really that in the dark about discs and flash storage these days? jesus christ...
I can't imagine ANY flash storage medium performing worse than the drives in current-gen consoles do.
When was the last time you had to install data to your system's drive on a handheld?
This reminds me of the Microsoft Surface articles when it was first announced. "It's a half-assed tablet, AND a half-assed laptop!" Yeah, no.
People like convenience and multipurpose function. It's elegant, a one-stop shop for (most) things Nintendo, and should sell boatloads.
Very excited.

Carts have drastically better performance than discs. Only reason why everyone doesn't just use carts is expense (and way back when, storage space)

Unified development on one console will certainly help Nintendo's first party output. On the flipside, Nintendo going with hybrid would probably mean we could see those third party exclusive 3DS games going multi.
Lawsuit incoming by Bethesda.

Dude you need to chill. Like seriously.

I hope Nintendo gets out ahead of this and clarifies some things (they won't :/ ) How portable is this thing? It sound like its going to be substantially bigger than a DS or a Vita. Not exactly something you pull out on the train for a quick game. Do I need a carrying case for this thing? Where does this leave the DS? is it replacing it entirely because this doesn't seem like its small enough to really be a true hand held.
Things to watch:
Nintendo Nvidia stock bump
The (declining?) sales of the new 3DS
The sad and ultimate death of the Vita. I think it really is done for good this time :'(

So a Nintendo handheld that you can plug into your TV? So fucking in. I've always loved their handheld ecosystem waaaaay more than I did their home consoles. As expected, it's not going to be as powerful as the Xbox One as a result, but those expecting parity with 3rd party ports were already living a daydream in the first place
This is my exact line of thought.
No more division between console and portable. Just one unit that does it all.
Depending on the battery life and display resolution this could be really cool

the ~20 million Nintendo faithful who will pay $60 a pop to play their latest 1st party titles on their $300 dollar handheld/tablet with controllers and TV port option. Hopefully they can keep them afloat alongside their mobile apps, theme parks, TV show licensing, Amiibos, etc
Ok, everybody. Pack it up, shut it down, and get Nintendo on the phone. Deku Tree doesn't like hybrid systems.

I like the suggestion someone had floated in another thread:
NEX: Nintendo Entertainment Experience.
Fox_Mulder
Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
It's just the next phase of "console warz!"
My favorite are the people simply posting "Nintendo never learns", as if creating carbon copies of Sony and Microsoft's devices is the only option for making video games.
Heck, a single 200GB micro SD card is cheaper than a 64GB Vita memory card on Amazon.

This also would mean we would get a true Pokemon game in HD on the TV. @_@
