I know what you're saying, but that's not a innovation. That's just a controller, but not attached to each other. It's like taking the NES controller and breaking it in half. Then you hold one piece in your left hand and the other piece in your right hand to play games. We've had this for over 30 years. The only true difference would be both are motion controllers instead of the Wii remote where it was one motion controller.

The innovation Nintendo would push is how you can take each controller and give one to one person and the other to another person for multiplayer-that's useless to me is all I'm saying if that's the innovation they're going for.

Trust me I'm not complaining. I just want to play some Nintendo games lol.

For me it's not about single or multi player use of the controllers. It's simply pointless. If I'm at home, I can pull out two controllers or a wiimote and nunchuck.

Why do I need to detach the controllers at any point? I just get the feeling detachable controllers will make it larger and less portable than it really needs to be, but maybe, hopefully that won't be the case.

I'm a little bit more critical because I don't think the Wii U controller was any good, it was way too big and also terrible for kids to use comfortably.

It's actually a good thing that both of you are being critical. It does raise a good question actually. If you are interested in home console gaming. What does the NX bring to the table that's new?

For me personally, portability is a huge factor so I didn't consider that. But from everything we heard up until now, I suppose the answer is nothing?

They're just spoiling us now!

 

[Roto Prime]

Nate already told us the secret. NX has lasers!

*pew pew*

DUDE! what is your problem, HOW DARE YOU SPOIL the laser secret.

Looks like Emily has something else up her sleeve:

So who's creating the new thread?

 

[The Strokes]

One thing to consider....

Presumably games will have some degree of touch screen functionality. We also know that the controllers have wiimote functionality for motion control. They may also have IR aiming or something similar.

IR aiming with two controllers would allow people to simulate touchscreen input on games while they are playing on the TV. Games could even be designed with this functionality in mind and play a little differently docked versus un-docked. Maybe they would lean less on the touch screen while hooked to the TV, and the IR cursor might function a bit differently than normal touch controls, but some sort of simulated touch mode would let games work in both settings without the need for a total redesign.

You're right. Hadn't thought of that.

It's two motion controllers. Allows for side ways wiimote/NES pad controls for multiplayer alongside being able to use both motion controllers like Wii Motion+.

This too.

Well, it makes more sense now. Hopefully Emily talks tomorrow about the games or reveal date, i'm kind of exhausted about reading about the form factor.

 

[Nudull]

less powerful than ps4 and Xbox one? what the fuck?

We knew for a while that this would be an "in-between" for mobile and console players. Kinda goes without saying that this won't be a graphical juggernaut.

 

[cacildo]

So what's the consensus? Based on what we think we know, does the design look innovative and revolutionary?

Well, we know enough that people were able to do several mockups...

And nothing seems too be very exciting.

I really wish there was a gimmick. Holograms, smellovision, anything

Interesting. Price-related? Software-related? Not sure what else about hardware there is.

 

[MrGoomba]

Don't know, but Emily was wrong about several things from E3, I think she only talks what she sees at internet from others and try to gain attention.

I'm excited for the NX as well. However Nintendo have explicitly said time and time again they are not interested in competing in terms of power, why are people expecting something powerful?

 

[Azelover]

What a nightmare.

I still hope the rumors aren't true, especially this hybrid thing.

I'm not negative in the least, but if it is true. Goodbye Nintendo.

Pls be related to software.
This hardware talk bores me to death

 

[mantidor]

The dpad is the most shocking thing, after more than 30 years of standardizing and fighting for the traditional dpad I just cannot believe Nintendo would go this route.

 

[Volotaire]

OS information would be interesting at this point. But, I'm never bored of hardware talk.

 

[Dark Cloud]

So, what would be the pack in game from Nintendo? Would it be a game that shows all the different controls?

A game that can be played by detachable controllers, a game with only touchscreen, a game with motion controls, a game with controllers turned sideways...

Pls be related to software.

I'm ready for software talk. Maybe she can give some hints at the amount of Nintendo made games coming-like Retro at launch. This hardware stuff is basically figured for a good part, not all of course, but we have an idea if all the rumors are true.

I still haven't gotten over it.
It's not a deal breaker but it sucks.

A minigame compilation Star Tropics-themed would be perfect.

 

[AquaWateria]

Watch when Emily reveals the NX can transform into a Gundam....

Its the only answer.

 

[squidyj]

The male end of anything is more prone to bending or breaking. Better that something on the attachment breaks and gets replaced than on the system itself. It's that way with pretty much every console with controller, signal, power, memory card and accessory ports. I think it's weird anytime a piece of electronics itself has the pins or connectors. If they bend or something, you're fucked.

yeah but not only is it poor aesthetically, making the controllers male makes it more prone to breakage because that's what you're actually handling when things are unplugged.

 

[b3b0p]

Is this the same Emily Rogers from the past? Her username is different from past threads.

 

[-Horizon-]

She'll reveal that she has the consumer version already like what happened with the ps4 slim.

It's not doing much other than holding two motion controllers in your hands. I guess that could change gameplay? My thing is this seems like the innovation-two controllers to play on the go or at home with someone else.

The dock could be an SCD, but that would be for power not a gameplay innovation, which Nintendo likes to strive for.

Can you guys think of innovations the dock could bring? Tie in QOL? Holograms? Because most seem to think it's just a dock with some USB ports and it connects the NX to the tv.

Like I said I'm not complaining, I'm just speculating on ideas and what Nintendo may be going for. I don't want anybody to think I'm mad at Nintendo if this is what they come up with lol. I'm going to love taking this to work. I take my 3DS to work and to play BotW at work is so great to me.

The only game that could showcase something like this would have to be a collection of mini games themed around various Nintendo IP...

So basically, NintendoLand 2!

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.

I'll sensibly chuckle if the dock has optical out, because then this would actually be true.

Still don't see the point in detachable controls but hopefully Nintendo will demonstrate why they are needed over a more traditional built in handheld system.

Nintendoland 2

 

[jdstorm]

Crazy Pipe Dream Speculation.

There will be a more expensive VR eddition NX - the only difference being it has a 4K 6.2 inch screen and slightly worse battery life.
This will be bundled with a plastic Samsung VR style headset that will allow for true portable VR gaming experiences. Motion Controls obviously included

 

[metalslimer]

Sort of off topic but did anything ever come of that Mother 3 rumor?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nintendoland 2

I don't think you guys know, but I'm probably one of the few people that loved Nintendo Land and I was hoping it would have a sequel or DLC. To me Nintendo Land is far better than Wii Sports. I would love Nintendo Land 2 for NX to show off the different controls.

Also, if they did Nintendo Land 2 they probably would add online this time to their progressing.

 

[butman]

NX, you'd better have OLED screen and 720p as minimum requirement.

 

[DpadD]

On a 6 inch 720p screen with Unreal 4 compatibility, im not sure if there will be a negligible difference..

 

[Roo]

You're going to get that 6" LCD screen with high dpi and you're going to love it.

Nothing

It sounds like she is saying that she is reaffirming her leaks as real info and not as rumours bound to change.

"I will share final info/thoughts on NX tomorrow."

That's as blunt as they come. The final leak will be tomorrow and I suspect it will still be hardware related.

Hmm, well that'd assuage my fears of a software leak.

She clearly says she's sharing her final info tomorrow and she'll giver her final thoughts.

Info/thoughts

Well, we all thought she meant between XBO and PS4 rather than less than XBO when she initially talked about hardware power. We need an interpreter, someone call MuchoMalo
