I've heard people suggest that before. I don't buy it.

Cross-fit is extremely popular right now. I don't think anyone is hearing that and thinking, "Damn, I do want to get that Jesus body..." "Cross" on it's own just doesn't resonate as that religious.



I agree on your example of Gameboy. It was a brand that had such a momentum that anyone playing a handheld device might be playing a "Gameboy" because was just ubiquitous with that type of system. But I disagree on the Nintendo Entertainment System. While plenty of people called it the NES, and eventually the SNES with the next iteration, as a full name, it was always the Nintendo and Super Nintendo. "Nintendo" is the brand that has cache. If it's a system, I think the Nintendo for the console and Nintendo Mobile/Handled/etc for the handheld would make sense.

Oh yeah, Nintendo is a name people still recognize even if some don't even know what their current hardware is. Their name should definitely be front and center in their naming conventions. They just need to look back at how they handled things before like their Gameboy brand on what they should do.

The reddit guy has submitted more proof for the moderators to verify him. I doubt a hoaxer would go to that length.

Just like the NX controller "leak" right?

The lack of >4GB 3DS games is actually probably less due to costs, and more due the eShop. Since the 3DS uses FAT32 as it's file system, there can't be a single file larger than ~4GB.

The one exception to this may be that special Fire Emblem Fates thing, since that is split up into parts when you buy it digitally.

That's a good point.

Fates is probably not over 4 GB combined though, it reuses most of its assets between campaigns. So downloading extra paths is apparently not huge.

You say this days after somebody 3D printed a fake NX controller.

I don't think the fake controller guys were ever verified.

He wasn't trying to get verified by a mod.

Nintendo already has something called Nintendo Extra. It's like a news page or something.

He wasn't trying to get verified by a mod.

In reference to:

[The_Lump]

Which leak in here at eyou finding to be legit? I trust the LCGeek info, but am 50/50 on the stuff in the OP.

I pretty clearly said "seemingly" legit

But anyway, LCGeek seems legit. OP rumour I'd say 70/30 at the mo.

from the unverified dev on Reddit:

"Update 4: I have sent more proof to the mods, i hope to get verified in the next 24 hours.
In the meanwhile, some info about the RAM: The amount of RAM is 12GB DDR3, 3GB reserved for the new NinOS (Unified Nintendo OS), 9GB for Games (nearly double the amount PS4/XBO can use for Games)."

 

[-Horizon-]

Go 3D print some proof

 

[Dark Cloud]

from the unverified dev on Reddit:

Wow I'm actually starting to believe this more. Maybe if the mods keep denying him he'll get desperate and spill all the beans.

/s

 

[DeuceGamer]

If, and that's a big IF in my mind, the recent leaks are true and the CPU is ~30% stronger with the GPU~50% stronger and with more RAM, I would be extremely happy as long as the price isn't outrageous. Obviously, they still have to deliver the games and features, but in regards to power it would be more than I expected by a decent margin.

Hasn't Nintendo traditionally had a decent amount of RAM?

Edit: Not that I'm buying the leaks at this point.

 

[Rodin]

12GB for devkits would actually make sense if the console had 6-8 usable for games... but that's not what he's saying

Is it really worth debunking these random reddit rumors? There are many of them and many more to come I'm sure.

 

[Kissenkopf]

from the unverified dev on Reddit:

Wow...who would doubt THAT? Hm, but why DDR3? The PS4 uses DDR5 which is much faster than DDR3, right?

 

[-Horizon-]

Now tell us about the GPU since you're pretty much ready to throw all your cards on the table. Might as well.

 

[ffdgh]

from the unverified dev on Reddit:

Oh hey that sounds pretty nice....Yeah not buying it.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

He still posts on twitter but you arent going to see him do anything outside of be a normal everyday nintendo fan

https://twitter.com/SMetaldave64

Is it really him tweeting tho?

 

[Roo]

I just hope they go with a broad and appealing name not tied to an specific gimmick/concept.

Make it so it can be an ever growing brand for future and diverse projects just like PlayStation and Xbox.

They somehow tried to do that with the Wii brand but it simply failed because it isn't strong/good enough to carry past the Wii era.

 

[Jaagen]

Wow...who would doubt THAT? Hm, but why DDR3? The PS4 uses DDR5 which is much faster than DDR3, right?

GDDR5 actually, which is faster than DDR3. The Xbox One uses DDR3(+ ESRAM)

 

[dukeoflegs]

I'm going to be sad once Nintendo actually unveils this system and we don't have anymore rumor threads. The speculations and "leaks" are way to enjoyable.

 

[Dark Cloud]

It's probably the Nintendo Ninja impersonating him.

 

[diaspora]

GDDR5 is higher bandwidth, DDR3, lower latency iirc. Not that latency is really a huge issue for a GPU, but yeah.

 

[Kissenkopf]

Ah! Okay, I didn't really know that. Thanks. :3

Does Gaf tries to make a fake Reddit Account btw? Just to troll the internet.

 

[orochi91]

amd 8350 stock >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NX>>>>> X1 >> PS4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii U. All 3 of big 3 manufacturers got this issue wrong, yet I know next gen 2 of them won't cause they tend to do a decent job. Nintendo isn't impressing anyone.

This is fantastic!

So NX will have a CPU somewhere around the FX-6300?

That's pretty decent; the GPU should be interesting.

Now I'm very curious as to what kind of CPU the PS4K will have, especially if it will have to deal with mid-tier FX chip.

 

[Real_Madrid]

Why would Nintendo make their console more expensive by putting in way too much RAM?

Don't believe that for one bit.

Nothing will ever beat how pics of a supposed controller broke the internet for a couple of days.

The one exception to this may be that special Fire Emblem Fates thing, since that is split up into parts when you buy it digitally.

Wasn't Resident Evil Revelations also split into 2 parts when purchased digitally?

EDIT: I'm wrong, it is only 3.2GBs, that's probably why all the cutscenes have so many compression artifacts.

In the age of iterative consoles the speculation will never end!

 

[geordiemp]

DDR3 is very cheap, but does not make sense, this would mean they would need ESRAM on the APU like XB1.......which would mean a smaller GPU.

Plot thickens...

 

[10k]

12GB? Hahaha. This is Nintendo, son.

First off, dev kits usually have more ram then retail units for debugging and such. Sometimes twice as much. 9GB useable is double what the Xbox One gives devs as useable ram. Twice the ram and a better cpu is huge already, even if the GPU is on par with the other two.

"N.t. the Xtra-terrestrial" will be the name

As in it'll be as successful as E.T. The Game? Yeah maybe.

 

[H3xum]

I wish I worked for one of the big three so I could just have endless amounts of entertainment from threads like these.

Threads like these that are killing the system before they are even out.

 

[Plinko]

12GB RAM?

A low-level employee knowing the name?

Come on.

I dont get it, you could have 64 GB of normal DDR3 RAM and its not going to anything better, thats why there is GDDR5 on Graphics cards, and Xb1 needs a huge ESRAM on chip to be able to do anything decent.

There would have to be GDDR5 somewhere or massive embedded ESRAM for HD graphics.

Who cares for these threads? Just games addicted people like us...no one else. So no need to worry if this thread (or equal threads for other consoles) do any harm.

These speculations brought me to Gaf a few years ago as a lurker and now I am inside this crazy inner circle of tree detectives...amazing time. Really.

How are they killing the system before it comes out? These threads are seen by a few thousand or so. This has absolutely zero bearing on the outcome of a system.

 

[Reversed]

NinOS is the alleged name for the console?
