Just playing in the tv with a comfortable controller is enough for me honestly. I rarely touched my GB and GBA after getting the Super GB and GB Player respectively. GBA games being in the Wii U e shop has been great as well.

External Hard Drives/Flash Drives and the Gamecube adapter.
I hope the NX's USBs are 3.0.
They already have the assets anyway, they made those nice HD models of all the pokemon.

I'm sure people have asked this before but who is Emily Rogers? I look her up and see she's ArcadeGirl64. But who is she that everyone chomps at the bit when she puts out info? Is she really accurate with her news or does she have some connections in Nintendo that have paid out well in the past? What's the deal?
The reason to port would (be) to have extra software available at launch and in launch window.
PLus Wii U software didn't reach big audience so much of the audience would be new to it. Splatoon in particular could benefit form seeing larger audience given there was no version of that game on handheld. Not so much MK8.
Good point about the Splatfests having ended, but not like they couldn't revive those in 2 seconds.
On the other hand too much Wii U software and the Nx might look like yesterday's machine. As a Wii U owner, it would not be terribly exciting for me to buy Wii U games again let alone see a bunch of them on NX ..... unless they gave me a massive discount for already owning the digital Wii U version.

Give me a new Metroid Prime and it will be mine!

This actually makes sense, since their handheld, console, and mobile devs will all be making software for the NX. No more splitting the devs across multiple platforms.
Great things ahead methinks.
Maybe star fox, Metroid and Fzero will finally get the attention they deserve. Who knows.

Probably the most exciting thing about this is, EVERY game they make will now be a 'console' game. Outlook is good for Pokemon

Did they make HD textures for them or should we expect very simple coloring for HD Pokemon?

Not sure if I said it in this thread or not but it's exciting to think of Smash 4 NX being both the home and mobile version. Just make sure it has GameCube controller compatibility and I will be there day 1.
Rest is all gravy for me.

The damage of having software droughts are obviously much more pronounced when you only have one main piece of hardware on the market.
At the same time, however, it seems the whole hook and push of the NX (from what we know) is to deliver a wealth of Nintendo's software and IP at a low cost barrier and with a dynamic form factor. So the first year of launch may not need to be front loaded, but they do need to send a clear message that:
1 - NX is not following in the footsteps of the their last two hardware launches which both lacked big hitting titles, and both suffered very anemic first years.
2 - That the first six to nine months of the console's launch is a positive representation of the kind of quality and frequency of content that can be expected in the future.
A launch title like Breath of the Wild is a great kickstarter, but Nintendo needs to give an unequivocal push of quality software early on to attract those dubious early adopters.

Yeh it works out great for us. Now they make Mario Kart 9 like a console version quality and we can play it at home or take it on the go.

I might buy an NX if Nintendo's actually serious about making a successful console again. The new Zelda looked pretty good.

Smash Bros needs to be ported as a launch title. Add more stages, smash run, and costumes for the characters.
One step toward DS GO!
I just want amiibo of Ornstein and Smough
And Artorias the Abysswalker
Oh, and Trusty Patches!

Man, I'd gladly take a Mario Kart 8 DX, especially if they added extra courses and characters, and perhaps a classic version of Battle Mode. All of that at 1080p 60fps with anti-aliasing, at home and on the go, would be GODLY.
I nominate Kirby and Splatoon for guest franchises.

Travy doesnt like handheld so he wants what he wants to be right
This article sounds like a Nintendo fan extrapolating without actual sources. Anyone could have written this.
The sentiment is sound, but it marginalizes the notion that Nintendo is getting out of the home console race which is a disappointment for a lot of fans. This article tries hard to frame it in a very optimistic way and I hope it bears out the way it's written here. But Emily basically depends on Nintendo's presence in the market to even have a reader base, so I can see the reason for the optimism.

Apart from the fact that this isn't pure speculation, you are completely right. Iwata mentioned the need of unifying their software output on their next console and handheld some years ago. This is real life, this is not fantasy!
As someone who only buys portable Nintendo consoles (and a wii) I'm really excited about this.
I'm just imagining like if the 3DS had the whole wiiU+3DS games, or DS+wii. I know people dont want remasters, but if we can get wii and wiiu games on the go plus all of Nintendo teams and third party support (Like the JRPGs on 3DS at least) this console should have a lot of really good games. Specially for people who didnt buy a wiiU.
Also, I know we shouldn't expect a lot of ports with those specs, but if this thing can run the latest versions of Fifa that would be awesome.

Software droughts will hurt more with only one platform. The good thing is though that with only 1 platform to support software droughts should mostly be a thing of the past. Nintendo are essentially doubling their output for this platform. Even if 3rd party support is similar to last gen the NX will have a far better SW output than the wii U or 3DS.
Make them ARPGs this time, please. Revisiting the originals the turn based battles are crazy slow.
Just out of curiosity, have you been threads showing off the crazy high quality models used in DS and 3DS games? Even just upscaled some of them look unreal. So this may not be as much of an issue as it seems. Not all projects will need to be console level of ambition.
No NX probably means no Wii U games (except ports) and no 3DS. I believe Nintendo previously said they intend to fold Wii U VC into futuee architecture so I expect everything Wii and DS and earlier (including hopefully GCN) to be playable on NX. It also makes more sense this way that they bothered with DS VC on Wii U.
Good morning GAF!
Yesterday I posted that after reading Emily's tweets, I was getting hyped for the first time after Eurogamer's article (this is the post)
Some people asked me to mentions those tweets that hyped me, because her account is private and they couldn't check them by themselves. I forgot about that, and went to bed, I have read your post right now.
These are the tweets that made me get hyped:
(This is the tweet URL)
(This is the tweet URL)
The thing is, that she knew one day before, that the articles where coming. She announced them, and mentioned that they were very interesting. This makes me believe, that she knows a lot more than we think about NX. She has often denied many false rumours about NX, giving reasonable arguments about why they make no sense. This time, she didn't do that, she suggested us to take a look at them.
Rogers has a big popularity as an insider. She's been right many times. And if she says that we should be exited about the future NX catalogue, something inside of me tells me to be exited. She even mentions this NeoGAF thread in her Twitter account. She really knows what's going on, she cannot give many details as she would like to, and her optimism is a good reason to be exited as well. Here's the tweet, in case it hasn't been posted here before:

Probably I'm overestimating Emily, but she has a big reputation and credibility in the industry, I trust her a lot. Cannot wait for the console's and its games' official announcements.

Which article are you referring to? If you mean the one from the OP, the thread predates the new rumor by multiple months; it was recently necrobumped in response to the new rumor.
Also this. NX could also have games like Ace Attorney, Layton, Theatrythm, SMT, Rube Factory etc.. stuff youd never find on a Nintendo home console.

If Atlus supports the NX like they have the 3DS, then the system is a must buy for me. Granted, I would most likely get it for Fire Emblem and some other Nintendo franchises as well.

Not a fan of handhelds these days, but if the software lineup is stacked I will definitely get one. Skipped the Wii U after owning all consoles since the SNES so I have Nintendo withdrawal.
I think Nintendo (maybe) being one platform only will do wonders for their software ouput. Hyped to finally see this thing and the games!

Semi accurate. She also had some really crappy rumors (Rare working on 3DS, Link female in the new Zelda).

Basically, imagine a Nintendo console that shared its handheld and console game development... that is the most exciting thing for me (for now, there is definitely some information we still don't know about).
I would expect the mobile output, based on the planned number of releases and co-development with DeNA, to not split resources overall nearly to the point of the previous HH and home console situation. There is QoL also, but unsure hoq much of Nintendo's development capacity that's utilizing.
I hope so...would love some seriously content packed classic Nintendo games that have had long development times.
DeNA isn't co-developing the game but more providing the infrastructure. Miitomo's development team from
Nintendo was about the same size as Tomodachi Collection 2 according to Sakamoto. It's definitely significant.
I missed that, thank you. That's definitely interesting to know. Given the output of planned releases, though, I still don't expect it to be on the level of a console/HH split.
Edit: I'm curious, did the interview say how long development on Miitomo took? That's another consideration.
