RUMOR: NX more powerful than PS4, Splatoon/Mario Maker ports in development
- Thread starter Spyder_Monkey

Sorry for the slow response, it's the weekend and I'm actually playing games :0@10k: So anyone can post you something and you write it down in this thread? Do you verify your sources (pm partners) in any way? If not the infos aren´t worth much.
People should not get hyped about anything in this thread or the crash could be very very hard/brutal when "NX" is announced
Ok, so normally I verify these people and who they are, or they were verified by gaf before and just don't want to do the posting themselves.
This Spanish dude though, just PM'd me while I was typing the post and while he sounded believable (and after I posted it he told me to remove that part because of NDA) I didn't have time to verify so I put it in the post as a very weak rumor (T0.5).
If he was faking it, I don't know why he would ask me to remove it.

For sure. I mentioned earlier in the thread. SE will probably be done with that game as soon as it's out on store shelves.
FFVII Remake is a timed exclusive at the very least, so it may come to NX somewhere down the line once all 3 games are out or something. The release strategy for it is strange, so I'm finding it hard to predict when it'd be ported to other platforms.
On the topic of JRPGs on Xbox. Xbox is not a brand really known for much Japanese output, especially JRPGs where it's full on anime. The market for those are on Sony and Nintendo with Sony having the lion's share.
Tales Studio, for example, has no plans to ever make another Xbox exclusive again because there is no market there for Japanese games in the east or west on their platform.
However some studios can still be very, very dumb still. Tales Studio, as an example again, can be be very dumb with this too and I've called them out a couple of times in not localizing the Tales games that came to Wii and DS despite the good market Nintendo has for JRPGs, especially so on their handheld side.

Plus the director of FFXV has almost confirmed an enhanced PC port

Do you see it coming ? FFXV on Nx + PC thanks to Vulkan
Yeah I could see Tales studio putting games on NX maybe a Berseria port or the next game day one alongside the PS4. Would be fascinating to see the sales in Japanese market.
This is a big if anyway. We don't know nothing about NX ( confirmed info). We know that FF XV engine is fucking pain in the ass and the game ( PS4 and One version ) still need a lot and a lot and lot of polishing ( Gamesinformer podcast ). But yeah if NX will sell well maybe they'll make a port, why not.

I wasn't going to trust 10K, but we're both Portuguese-Canadians living in Toronto, so he's cool.

Would anyone buy any version of FFXV ever? I watched a friend play through the Platinum demo yesterday.. just let that series die already

...I don't know how I forgot that. Man, it's been a long time since we saw more of that game.
But Wii U version is cool, NX would be optimal.
How many directs did we got this year?
Wondering if they will do some more N directs once the NX is released.
Found this video;

Nice way to show previous controllers from Nintendo. A good way to introduce the NX
Competitors are mostly afraid of trying something else (beside ps3 boomerang controller), but Nintendo doesn't give a F*
I'm always curious what they will bring next.
I'm still having a hard time imagining what Nintendo games with PS4-like hardware would even look like. I really hope we get an official unveil very soon.
Not sure how the Platinum demo is indicative of anything besides being a tech demo. It certainly didn't have much to do with the story at all.
I'm really hoping it turns out to be some optional controller in the end. I really think the main controller should be a cheaper solution.

Only one copy will be sold worldwide and it'll be M. Night that buys it.
Uh, I think they're gonna need to work on doing a PC port. Whether it takes months or years. Not doing one would be leaving money on the table imo. And without a pc port, FF might not even outsell something like splatoon lol.

RIP in peace AceBandage
So, it'll be the worse selling mainline Final Fantasy since the SNES?
It'll ship more that Splatoon ltd in one week.
You've missed the point of the example.
That's... fairly unsurprising if it becomes the case.
I think the potential is there for it to work well, if the tech is good and those same Wi-Fi hotspots normally provide high-speed Internet access (which most public places would provide just fine).
Personally, I'm just happy they're (allegedly) sticking with the GamePad, if only for the sake of the few franchises that make really good use of it (Mario Maker, Zelda, Splatoon, and I'd love another Nintendo Land).
This thread has brought put a bunch of PortugueseGAF. Feels good, man.
Where in the world are you getting this info? lol
Is there like people that just dont care about their jobs that want to make hype or something?
Maybe its conspiracy through nintendo to have certain people leak out info because if they do it themself other companies can steal their ideas.
So from what you "heard" the controller is just like the wii U controller just better looking? Its not its own console like the 3DS?
I was just looking over /u/dizzyzane_'s (on reddit) comments again about the OS builds he supposedly has:
I initially thought that the ARM64 build would be for the handheld device, but it would make more sense given 10k's info that it's tied to the controller. Perhaps the AMD64 would be for both the home and portable units. I'm still unsure of what the "Wii U 2" would be tied to. Maybe a Wii U mini running NX?

Plus does anyone really want to drag their comparatively massive controller around, which they can only use at wifi points?
What would make far more sense is allow you to stream the NX to any screen you already have, like a phone or tablet, then have a much smaller bluetooth controller you can use with it.
I'm also a PortugueseGAF member. Just not Canadian.
The splatoon thing was a joke. Splatoon's LTD will probably end up around 6m imo.
But thinking about it....hm dunno. With just PS4 and Xbox, I don't see it doing more than XIII. I could see it doing more than IX.
Is this chart accurate for the older FFs? I remember seeing it on GAF:
Although I thought FF13 was near 7m
edit:
just saw your edit.
um...what lol.
I don't to turn this into a splatoon thing. That was just a offhand joke.
It's not even that... If remote play is really supposed to be a big part of the NX console, then the controller's design will need to make concessions for a decent game streaming experience. That means a bigger screen, which in turn means another bulkier controller with sub-par battery life, all for the sake of accommodating a feature that was already rejected by the market once.

It doesn't have to mean a bulkier controller at all.
"No Wii u BC except eshop" lol yeah I'm sure there are 3 ppc750s and 32mb of edram in this thing

It certainly isn't going to be doing 1.9m in Japan, that's for sure. Might ship just over 1m LTD. Maybe. 3-4m in the west doesn't seem too far fetched. It'll fall short of FFXIII, but mostly due to Japan.

I'm Portuguese too. Or Nuno Bettencourt is. And I like him a lot.
Eh, I get it. I'm just not sure how useful stating the GCN version would be to development at this stage.
I'm not sure if Zelda will end up a cross gen port. They most likely switched over to NX a while ago. It might be more like Destiny, which still had ps360 versions.

How many times did you climax?
Perhaps it'll be released later than what people are expecting.
The sub-par battery, sure not like any of the controllers' battery life is anything to lose breath about, and even then that's to be seen in this case, plus the market rejected the console on the whole not just that single feature... And even then still got to see how this whole streaming thing works(or if it's even real).
Huh... Isn't that still a crossgen game?

I feel like I need a shower...
But if PS4k graphics don't exist yet, did you just imagine something that doesn't exist? Like a new color? :O
You were joking, ok lol, and I meant splatoon ltd now.
I think that Square is doing the right things to adapt the series to the current market landscape and that they'll manage to do near Witcher 3's numbers, maybe not just on PS4 and Xbox one though. It'll review well and it'll sell better than FFXIII, that's my prediction.

Take this with a grain of salt but some guy claiming to be IdeaMan's uncle PMed me saying he's 90% sure the NX is not going to be purple but that could have changed.
Yeah, I'm afraid we're all going to have to prepare for the worst case scenario. A December 2016 release, instead of November. The horror.
*Quits gaming*
I basically used high-end PC gaming as a reference, lol
That level of power, plus Nintendo & Friends' art direction/animation, will look TITS
PS4K's rumoured specs aren't within the realm of high end PC.
