Just for the record, I definitely don't think you aren't legit dude. You've been as transparent as you can be and Emily is backing you up as well.
I'm just a bit confused by those moderator comments. I mean if you weren't honest about getting the ok from Nirolak I'd assume you'd be banned by now.

All I need from the specs are Nintendo first party games and third party multiplats in 1080p.

At the very least, I'm expecting them to throw some kind of bone.
BUT WHAT IT'S GONNA BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
For "fighters?" Try a single fighter.
If a miracle happens & we get more characters, getting the Inklings, Callie, & Marie would be kinda overkill. If anything, the mystery Rhythm Heaven rep is more likely. And I'm sure we would have gotten Snake back in Smash 4 if Sakurai could.
Muscle memory. Relearning a new controller for a game that controls the same is no easy feat. Especially if it's the same game just ported over to the new console. Would make zero sense to not support the adapter.

How can this possibly be? I was told numerous times on NeoGaf and by devs that supporting another platform would be a "Gigantic Pain in the Ass". Surely supporting an entirely different API and base hardware would be harder than supporting a .5 increase to an existing platform.
We don't need yet another console that will partition the market.

You dont have to. Go play with the pro controller.
Haha thanks. Based on our information about the ports it's Zelda that makes me unfaithful to my creed. But if Nintendo announce around two games that scrath my itch for mature themed gaming on Nintendo systems it will be a tough fight against a reflex purchase during the holidays.
GC for fighters...lol.

I would buy NX just for a version of Mario Maker with hills.

Do you meant straight port for Smash 4? I meant would you be okay if we are going to get new contents for the port?
I just realized that it would be a great opportunity for them to add more event matches (for DLC characters)
Not overkill. It's motherfucking Splatoon! The whole marketing angle would be "Smash feat. Splatoon," so I could see them triple repping.

Guys, the 30% thing was just using LCGeeks metric. It's a metric to help give you something to understand. You should focus on "by a noticeable amount". What the threshold for noticeable is in percentage form, I have no idea. Do you find the difference in PS4 and XB1 ports noticeable? It'll probably be like that, where it'll run on par or maybe a bit better than PS4 versions of games.
You don't. I use the Pro Controller.
And a new franchise. It'd be better for the different weapons to go to the Inklings to make their moveset more robust.
2013 was a bad year, a really bad year to be a fan of Nintendo consoles. Jesus the amount of disappointment I went through in wanting a system like this in the OP from Nintendo. The Wii U stung like a bitch for Nintendo fans that also like a lot of the 3rd party offerings, but I'm glad Nintendo got too cocky so reality would kick their asses into shape. If The OP is true I'm going all out on the NX when it releases, maybe I haven't learned my lesson cuz I went all out for the Wii U but man I can't resist something like this.
It's LAUNCH. PS4/3 got a plethora of ports/ HD remakes. It's to have some shit early on and build up a userbase with great games. Many people also skipped out on Wii U. This is a chance to get those people swayed, if true. Relax

Couldn't care less about Mario Maker, but not having Splatoon is a crime. NX better give full WiiU BC if they're gonna nix the Splatoon port.

on one hand, I'd really prefer it if the launch lineup for a brand new system wasn't just a greatest hits collection of games I already own. on the other, there are a lot of people who never played those games, which is why we're getting the new system in the first place.

Like console exclusives since like forever?

Splatoon is pretty amazing new IP from Nintendo. I wasn't surprised that we didn't get Inkling because of limitations, so I hope that we are going to get Inkling in Smash 4 NX.

If its launch is nothing but ports on the 1st party front and maybe some NintendoLand-like new game, that's actually going to hurt the system VERY BADLY right out of the gate.
It's not releasing in a vacuum; it'll be going up against PS4's holiday lineup and XBO's holiday lineup as well, and they're going to be coming strong. Nintendo needs at least one big release that's going to make people sit up and take notice, and give this machine a real shot in the long-term arm, and a bunch of ports are simply NOT going to do that, regardless of the quality of the games themselves.
Out of those four games I can see Smash being there on Day 1, but they'll likely space the others out. For example Zelda NX will be spaced out to give the Wii U version some more time to capitalize on its own sales before cutting them short w/ an NX port. A Splatoon port would make better sense in 2017 to coincide closer w/ the sequel if that does come out then. Mario Maker could come out then too but retooled in some significant ways.
Also I am surprised there is no mention of a Mario Kart 8 port; I figure that could also come about around launch, but they'd be smart to limit the immediate ports to just that and Smash 4. Try to balance that out with two new 1st party exclusives (preferably one of those being a new IP, the other possibly a sequel), and some great 3rd party support, and at least for the first year NX should hold up very well.
If it's not wired, then your point is moot. The reason why we cling to the GameCube Controller is because it's the only true wired controller that works in Smash 4 (the Pokkén Pro Pad was introduced too late).

yea, my thoughts. It's why I have no intention of getting an X1 even when it's like $100. Just way too similar an experience with these platforms. This sounds like GameCube 2. Which is good for fans I guess, not doing much to get me excited though.

Spla2n or riot.
the Wii U Pro Controller would have crushed it if it had the ability to become a wired pad over USB but nintendo fucked up that important bit.
it's the only reason the GC pad has an advantage over it competitively.
the NX controller needs to have the ability to become wired when you plug it to the console. if it means buying new controllers, so be it but the main controller needs that.
I'm not saying it's impossible. Heck it might even be the most probable option. I just can't wrap my head around it given where the Wii and Wii U landed.
my guesses in bold
Or they'll focus in on doing a lot with each weapon.
The fact you doubt it makes me confident it'll happen!
I think the adapter is an easy shoe-in for the next console. How are the 8-player stages gonna be played? Wii U allowed for 5 players on games. Most consoles only allow 4 at most with native controllers. The adapter allowed for 8 player matches.
Also, I really hope Nintendo wouldn't force people to buy 8 damn controllers for one game lol.
Get Callie and Marie in there.

There is so little to talk about in this rumor.
Its going to be more powerful than the PS4 and it will have ports? I liked the old thread better.

Sounds good to me. I wouldn't mind a second console to my PS4 if it offered something different. The Xbox One doesn't really offer enough differentiation to me to make it remotely worth the investment. A Nintendo console that gives modern visuals to Nintendo's best games... Sure.
Nintendo have a ton of work to do to make this a success, mostly getting all the ancillary stuff working like good streaming services, good online etc. Mainly though it's sorting out their dealings with third parties. Not making one or two one game deals that could easily go tits up,but a true broad approach to try and get every single multi-plat game to come to the console. Indies too of course. If the architecture is as reported then Nintendo will only have themselves to blame if they cannot get the games to the system.

I hear ya, I'll no doubt be double dipping again at launch... If only we could get a little more info on who's supporting NX and with what.
Or all three: Callie, Marie, and Inklings with male and female variants.
*Cue the trademark Sakurai-style screenshot with Callie, Marie, Fem Inkling and Male Inkling reaching for a Smash Ball*
*Cue Japan losing their collective minds over so much Splatoon goodness in Smash*
*Cue wallets opening and yen spilling out into Nintendo's coffers as NX flies off shelves*

Wishful Thinking: the thread
Everything coming up roses is not how Nintendo operates.

For reference... the rumored PS4K specs are twice the GPU performance, but likely the same CPU/RAM?
In which case, the question needs to be asked, would you rather have a +/- 30% increase (or 130%) in performance across the board, or a 100% increase for the GPU (or 200%)?
WiiU was released 7 years later than PS360 and it wasn't really more powerful.

wrong on the Zelda bit.
TP was made on GC first but debuted on Wii first. they didn't mind killing the GC version's sales to put the Wii one in the spotlight.
i don't doubt they'll send the Wii U version to die if it means making the NX port the main spotlight and the NX's launch game. the Wii U version at this point only exists to not piss off those that have a Wii U but won't buy an NX at launch, exactly how the GC version only existed to not piss off the remaining GC userbase that didn't want to buy a Wii.
