“The NX is trying to change the concept of what it means to be a home console device or a hand-held device,” said Mr. Ishihara. “We will make games for the NX.”

Hybrid confirmed?

TOKYO—Pokémon Co.’s chief executive said Tuesday his company plans to create games for Nintendo Co.’s next-generation system, which people familiar with the plans say is likely to meld features of traditional consoles and hand-held devices.

He said more features were planned for “Pokémon Go,” including player-to-player battles and character trades. But these features will come slowly to avoid overwhelming entry-level players, he added.

[Bl@de]

Is this the first time we get an official hybrid statement from somebody making games for Nintendo plattforms?

 

[Exterminieren]

My first response was "well, duh, but this is a little more illuminating than it first seems- that's the closest anyone official has come to confirming the core concept.

 

[JimJamJones]

I mean, people can't try and ignore EG's report now. It's all but confirmed.

[Refyref]

My first response was "well, duh, but this is a little more illuminating than it first seems- that's the closest anyone official has come to confirming the core concept.

It's funny that such a slip up can't from the most "shocking news" statement possible.

 

[xzeldax3]

Basically.

 

[Jerm411]

Well the cat is outta the bag now....

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Well if they make a mainline Pokémon game for it then it pretty much guarantees that I will get it whenever the game comes around... Pokémon is pretty much the only thing that I bought an N3Ds XL for so, yeah.

 

[Father_Brain]

Nintendo can't be happy with that quote, can they? Well, good to get more confirmation.

 

[abstract alien]

I pray Nintendo gave him clearance to say that.

 

[Trago]

Someone check to see if PlayerEssense is ok.

 

[mrklaw]

Nintendo affiliated company that produces Nintendo owned IP to make Nintendo published games for Nintendo console.

Does the fact that they're talking about it mean we're starting to get close to Nintendo announcing a date for them to announce the date when we can buy an NX?

 

[linkandzelda]

SHOCKING NEWS. Or did someone seriously still think it was going to be a home console? I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[KrawlMan]

Nintendo can't be happy with that quote, can they? Well, good to get more confirmation.

Exactly what I was thinking. Nintendi better speak up soon

 

[Neoxon]

I guess the hybrid is confirmed judging by that quote.

 

[Peltz]

Lol did this guy just let the cat out of the bag?

He let the Meowth out of the Pokeball, I'd say.

Spoiler

sorry

 

[BY2K]

Maybe I should have put that second quote in the thread title.

 

[Orakio Rob]

What a boring threOOOOPS! Hybrid pretty much confirmed now 0_0

 

[Genio88]

And this is it, we had our fair share of NX news for this week, see you next week with something more, and hopefully a reveal before March 2017

 

[Oersted]

Nintendo can't be happy with that quote, can they? Well, good to get more confirmation.

Trying to change what handheld/home console means was something they kept repeating.

Or do you mean Pokemon for NX? I think they can deal with that.

 

[ffdgh]

Well that more or less confirms what most were expecting.
