It needs to be the handheld/console hybrid for me to get hyped. Never liked nintendo splitting their content across two platforms.

I'm always excited about Niintendo's new console but I've skipped every one post-NES. I do own a DS and I'm excited to see where they take the NX.
The first nintendo home console I'll have owned since the early 90's will be the Classic.

It's not new. It's been posted here before but I guess no one really took notice.

Maybe you could also mention how this debunks a hybrid? I can't even follow your reasoning.
All I've seen on Twitter is, "This is what NX is? It looks lame, the Eurogamer report is fake! The NX is copying something from last year."
Yet... I don't even see how that makes any sense with regards to debunking Eurogamer, LPVG, WSJ and IGNs' rumours. lol
It really dosent make the Eurogamer rumor false, but it is pretty lame
And since part of the eurogamer rumor was really proven false...
...people hope its all false, because this akun tablet is exactly like Eurogamer said the Nx is, and its really really lame

I want a portable Wii U
And that's why it's been so amazing hearing people think that the Eurogamer rumours are fake because this Aikun tablet is "lame".
It sounds very familiar... Rumours that caused people to think negatively of something that people claimed it was false due to personal feelings and then it ended up being true.
Wasn't that rumour to do with the Wii U with regards to its actual power? lol
Edit: I'm also still wondering why no one has made a thread on this... I guess making a thread debunking hybrid rumours based on personal feelings would have modbot saying "does not compute" before locking the thread.
I own the WiiU from launch. I have liked it. There are many games I have already enjoyed on it.
However I am starting to feel like the NX launch is so much similar to the WiiU that there is not much of any information on the NX. I saw zero ads on the WiiU till launch of it. Only way I knew of it was cause I was watching the announcement event. Since there is so little information on the NX, I am currently not interested in picking up the NX. There is just not enough information on it. I might pick it up when I actually get some correct information on it. I am still just fine with the current WiiU and 3DS games to hold me couple of years. I can just wait after the NX launch and see if it is a console for me to buy.

Release a new Metroid Prime on the NX and I'm good.
Edit: I'm still going to buy a Nx regardless.

I really regret not being able to play games like bayonetta 2 and the new smash brothers, so I am very excited for whatever the NX is
I don't see how they're similar. Wii U was revealed more than a year before it was launched and they really didn't do a good job advertising it even close to/after release date. NX is supposed to release in like six months. Who knows how well they'll market it after they finally reveal what it is though.
Yeah.
I've skipped Wii, 3DS and WiiU because they didn't have enough games to pick my interest, but woth NX they're merging the studios into a single console, so the volume of interesting games is going to double.
Plus the hybrid concept is too alluring.
But they really have to move and announce the damn thing already.

Knowing that the NX is the response to Nintendo's previous failure has me excited.
The Wii U was a system riding off of Nintendo's Wii high. A half-assed release that just assumed the Wii owning audience would follow. Whatever Nintendo has in store with the NX, it ought to reflect the realization that they'll get nowhere without something absolutely great.

I played the Wii U so lil you might as well say I skipped it. Bought only 2 games for it too. No Nintendo franchise games so thats where I'm at.
I'm excited for the NX just to see what it will finally be and what games it will get. I may be at the point of just leaving Nintendo alone for good.
I used to be interested, excited to play a new Mario game. I still havent played 3D World yet and I got the Wii U at launch.
Breath of the Wild might be enough to draw me back in. That and a new Mario thats more exploration...like 64, Galaxy, Sunshine.

I'm excited, especially if it is as (or more) capable than a Wii U, even during the hand held mode. Also, I saw the speculation the the face buttons and sticks can detach. If real, I think this is a prime opportunity for Nintendo to offer alternate control schemes for purchase.
A. Default Scheme:
Left Side- thumb stick above, d-pad below
Right Side- thumb stick above, face buttons below.
B. Symmetrical Scheme:
Left Side: d-pad above, thumb stick below
Right Side: face buttons above, thumb stick below.
C. Asymmetrical Scheme:
Left Side: thumb stick above, d-pad below
Right Side: face buttons above, thumb stick below
D. Crazy Scheme?:
Left Side: d-pad above, thumb stick below
Right Side- thumb stick above, face buttons below
C. Gimmicky Attachments for certain games

Yea I'm the same, I also didn't buy a 3ds. Its the first time in my life I've skipped any generation of Nintendo full offerings.
My reason was that I haven't really been into Nintendo's console output for a really long time and this time decided to just skip it. I barely touched the Wii and I bought maybe ten games for the Gamecube.
I feel exactly the same way. If this machine can reach critical mass (say in line with 3ds or better, I actually think its got a pretty good shot) we might get a lot of Japanese style games that only come out on portable on this thing, but because its hybrid I can play them the way I prefer.
I always get excited for every new console reveal. That said, if it's the hybrid everyone thinks it is, it'll probably be day one for me if I can afford it. So many quality jrpgs and srpgs on the handheld systems, and I'd like to see that continue. Also, I hope we will see more of those Zelda games that follow the older Link to the Past style.
Well that is the thing, WiiU was announced and shown "year" before release. That is just it. Advertisement was almost zero to none. Only way at least here it was advertised was a test booth in one game store year after release.
Well my point was it is feeling like it is similar. Sure WiiU was shown before launch and a lot more info was out for those who looked for it. In the beginning of WiiU release a lot of people still thought WiiU was an addon for the Wii or something like that. We still know not a whole lot about the NX. There are probably a whole lot of people who don't even know that Nintendo is coming out with a new console.
I am still hoping it won't be a failure, however for me it kinda feels similar launch so far. Hopefully Nintendo has wised up and are going to advertise NX correctly and well enough so they can get people interested on the Console "hybrid".

I had a Gamecube and a DS but skipped the 3DS, Wii, and Wii U. If it's handheld I'll definitely buy it. Not interested in a console. I have a PS4 but I like portable games and PC games. Most excited about how a Pokemon game will look on something as powerful as the Wii U/360/PS3. The same with a lot of JRPG games that don't often come to consoles anymore.
Pokemon is the main draw, but I'm interested in the new Zelda and Dragon Quest as well. Plus the usual Mario Kart and Smash Bros games make a nice base for a handheld. How soon I buy the thing depends on what they announce in terms of release dates so if there's not already a few games I want early on, I'll wait.

How does that debunk anything?

I think people think it debunks it because of how Nintendo's trying to keep everything secret and some other guys made something identical to the basic sketches eurogamer released, so if they've got something like that out there, there's no reason for Nintendo to keep it so secret. That's the only logic I can attach to the theory anyway.
I'm still believing in Eurogamer.
Which is still a pretty weak argument for them. Nintendo have a new concept, not a unique one. They keep it under wraps because they are a business and they have competitors that could copy what they are doing before NX launches which would make things difficult for Nintendo if they're not the ones popularising the concept like how they popularised touch screen gaming with DS.
I guess that could be the case. The logic that a product existing of a potential similar concept somehow debunks a report is just odd. It's like a powerful PC being available somehow negates the idea of the PS4 Pro because "it has been done".

Kind of the opposite, didn't really have Nintendo home console (except had a GameCube for a little while) but took a chance on the Wii U anyway, even though I had a bad feeling. Turned out to be the worst gaming purchase in a long long time (maybe ever) so I'm extremely sceptical of NX. I have to admit, I like that projector on uneven surface idea though...
Milly Osworth

Because how can Nintendo try to keep something secret that already exists?
But more importantly, to me this thing kinda proves it's a bad idea, just look at it. I doubt Nintendo would come with something like this. Then again we got WiiU...
Would you like to make the thread then showing that the NX hybrid is now debunked?
I'm still wondering why if this is such a big blow against the hybrid rumours that there hasn't been a thread on it? It's been what? Two days now since SuperMetalDave posted this?
And we've known it in past NX threads before.

Edit: So the fact being that this isn't a SuperMetalDave original means you don't have to worry about being criticised because of listening to what he said since this video has been around since October 2015.

This. This is just bullshit unless you never updated the firmware since launch. You can jump right in to any of your recently played games from the gamepad.
I'm wary. I like Nintendo games, but they have been out of touch regarding some topics for so long that I feel kinda frustrated by how they manage some aspects of their business, namely the absence of a Nintendo Account allowing users to easily register their games and have a friendlist, instead of the actual system where every new game is tied to the console and friend lists are independant from each other, not to mention the retrograde Friends Code.
Now, they have finally created one, though as far as I know the Nintendo Account is pretty barebone at the moment, and it is unknown how it will tie in with the NX. I really hope we won't have again a Nintendo Network ID tied to the NX, and that we will be able to just link our Nintendo Account to it.
And I would be lying if I said that I wasn't disappointed by the Wii U. The thing is, that console has good games, but I never liked the Wii U controller, and I never used it when I could use the Wii U Pro Controller (that little thing has excellent battery and is quite comfortable, although I would have liked the second joystick on the right to have swapped positions with the XYAB buttons).

It will get locked because of "NX" anyways.
You won't play this guy on your GBA just so you know.

I skipped the wiiu and interested to see exactly what the nx is. I'm just worried a bit because from what we've heard it sounds ridiculous with detachable controllers so you can connect it to the tv. I hope nintendo pull it off. Sounds like another stupid gimmick. All i want is a normal console with a normal controller. Maybe i'll be into it when they officially reveal it but i might end up just buying a second hand wiiu to play Zelda instead of buying the NX.

Don't own a Wii U and 3DS because of region lock (live in Asia).
Fuck Nintendo.
Fuck Nintendo.
I've owned every Nintendo home system since SNES and everytime it's a unique experience. Unlike the PS and xbox that feel to me just like a PC (in the sense that it has games), Nintendo cobsoles have each time something unique that gets me hooked. I'll probably get the NX and cobtinue gaming on the PC. Only the price will maybe delay when I'll get the NX.
But if it's actually something that debunks the NX hybrid rumours then it's newsworthy. So it's not going to get locked by the mods immediately.
You really want a new NX thread, huh? lol
Nah, I'm just trying to convince someone to bring this Aikun tablet out into the open if it supposedly debunks the hybrid NX rumours.
If it's been brought up a few times, then someone should make a thread. I can't because I've already argued against it, so I want to see someone making a thread arguing for it since there's been more than one person convinced that the NX can't be a hybrid now because the design is already similar to this Aikun tablet and that it somehow makes the Eurogamer report false because of lying sources. Etc

It doesn't look like I'm seeing journalists shit themselves because the NX hybrid concept and design isn't unique. lol
(This is with regards to some people claiming that their sources fabricated the NX hybrid by describing the Aikun tablet.)

I skippped the Wii U but am super pumped for NX. I'm hoping Nintendo starts doing NX ports of Wii U titles like crazy because there are a ton of games I want to try.
There is reason to believe that NX will not be region locked. Devkits are not region locked, and devs have not heard anything about region locking it.

But then how will the different regional divisions of Nintendo release games weeks or months apart (or in some cases not at all) for seemingly no obvious reason?
Straight up: if the NX released at $200, had full backwards compatibility with Wii U games, and didn't have any gimmicky stuff I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I did own a Wii U, but I purchased it around the time Mario Kart released and sold it about a year later. Having that tablet just sitting on an end table all the time staring me I the face was a constant reminder of how I perceived it as a poor value compared to my other consoles/PC. It clearly made up a substantial portion of the cost and yet I had to run out and buy a Pro controller to game comfortably and never used it for anything. Add to that the incredibly slow rate in which games released and it wasn't worth keeping around for a $300 (more considering the necessity controller purchase) console. All evidence seems to point to the NX being non-traditional again (or a handheld... not interested) so I'm not holding my breath.
And before someone chimes in that I could just buy a Wii U for $200 after the NX releases, no. I wouldn't pay that for an unsupported console. I'd consider a repurchase at sub-$100 -- and that's including the cost of a Pro controller.

In regards to the original question of the OP, yes, I am interested in the NX and don't currently have a Wii U.
However considering that the NX will likely not be backwards compatible, there are quite a few games on the Wii U I am interested in, so I may end up getting a Wii U when/if Nintendo lowers the price on the Wii U to help liquidate that stock. Of course if the NX has a enough remakes/ports of Wii U games that I'm interested in and/or if Nintendo doesn't lower the price on the Wii U to move that remaining stock then I might skip completely on getting the Wii U. However I've owned every Nintendo home console since the SNES, so it would admittedly feel weird not owning the Wii U ;-)
