I believe this is what they were confusing the NX for lol.
I don't know. That sounds more like the behavior of guys who make YouTube videos with "inside" information.
in case any one wants to have a clue as to what MG might be talking about, and I'm only guessing because he didn't specify, skip to 6:21 in the video.
and if that's the case, that's exactly why Nintendo tries to keep it's cards so close to it's chest, so that competitors can't come to market with something similar before they can launch.
So far we only have two competitors in the Videogame industry..... What... am I missing someone you say? Oh that's right.. Microsoft. From what I hear they may not be staying in the console race for much longer, as shareholder aren't happy and there's talks of pulling from the gaming division.. but we'll see.We've been hearing those rumors for years. I'll believe it when we see it.
I don't understand why the lack of reporting by EG means that they're back-pedalling. How are you guys able to leap into these conclusions.
SMD64 chastising Eurogamer for not having updates on their initial reporting is hilarious considering he's been flogging the same rumor for months now. He's not said anything new in these months, he's just regurgitated the same spiel in every new video. Eurogamer's reporting is still valid because nothing new has been brought to the table to refute them. It's all been speculation. It's all gone back to the same "AMD 3 design wins" which oh by the way, Eurogamer also reported on earlier this year.
Also, he took Ubisoft's comments of "NX being back in the race" at face value.
I was talking more about the Store event being for Disney Magic World 2 and not the NX and Oct. 4 being more for Google news than NX but I guess when you're a supporter of AMD you have to use every post you see as a way to swing the conversation back to the NX maybe using that brand of chip. I agree with you. That horse might not actually be dead yet. God speed, AMD soldier.
Shaymin just keeps shooting down all potential rumors with a sawed off shotgun of facts.
If by the NX you mean the stars of your favorite random Disney Channel shows promoting Disney Magical World 2, yes.
Bet that's when they reveal the Damn thing
I want the deal to be with Nvidia because I think that one has the most potential to give Nintendo a more expensive box for a lot less cost.
Otherwise, I don't care. I just don't want Nintendo offering me a $250 game machine with budget GPU because of the cost of controls and screen.......
Unlikely, as nintendo wouldn't put all their eggs in one basket.
There will be a home console and a handheld, mark my word.
They will be two completely different devices that support the same SOFTWARE PLATFORM (aka the NX).
I fixed that for you.
I haven't been stuck int eh hyperbolic sound chamber that is the rumor mill like you guys, but last I remember, NX was a software platform that would be shared through all the hardware iteration that Nintendo will have going forward. Much like iOS and Android, to use Iwata's example (RIP).
So IF Nintendo reveals a handheld, or IF Nintendo reveals a home console, or IF they reveal BOTH, they will most likely run the SAME OS, and the SAME GAMES that happen to scale to the hardware they are on, like a PC will change resolution/detail of a game depending on system specs.
Not to say that all games will always be compatible w/ all hardware, as there are plenty of games that depend on a certain version of the OS to be compatible, but you would essentially be developing for the same platform for the foreseeable future, assuming Nintendo got it right.
....this is all assuming of course that NX really is a software platform (and not just the next Nintendo hardware)
Tegra X2 would be more capable than the PS4. Also, you have to realize that "capable" does not mean "has better graphic horsepower."Unlikely with Nvidia canceling those projects, and I'll have a hard time believing that's powering the home console.
This thread has stopped being relevant about 10 pages ago. At this point I don't know why people would still care about NX if Nintendo still can't figure out a way to properly reveal the thing less than 6 months from release. They apparently were going for a September reveal but even that is getting pushed to October. Meanwhile rumors keep festering and people keep bickering and if everything about these rumors pan out we're basically looking at another Wii U. I've personally checked out and that says a lot. Nintendo's silence is now teetering on the brink of irrelevance.Well, I've posted tidbits and news. Where AMD talks about their SoC's just the other day, and that there was 3 console SoC's.That's literally the same news story from weeks ago of the 3 design wins by AMD. Nothing new has been added.Also EG was wrong on the 3DS, so it feels history repeating itself.
Eurogamer was indeed wrong but they published a retraction of that story before the 3DS was revealed. That hasn't happened yet in this case.
It was easy to get SNES-level of support when a company had a near monopoly on an entire industry for the better part of 10 years. Anyone longing for a return to those glory days is out of touch with reality. While there are plenty things Nintendo can do better to improve third party support today, the kind of support people think Nintendo can just pull out of a hat is unrealistic. Sony and Microsoft do things Nintendo is unwilling or unable to do. It isn't wise for Nintendo to launch a $400 to $500 console. While Nintendo will pick up a dead or struggling project, it won't get into a bidding war. Nintendo would like 10 of those to potentially make a difference on its platform. I wouldn't blame any company for not wanting to take those odds. Sony and Microsoft regularly do; Nintendo won't. For better or worse, it lives (and dies) by its own output.
Probably all the more reason to believe the NX will only be one platform that'll be your home and mobile console. Consolidates Nintendo's developer efforts into one platform so that worst case scenario, if NX is Wii U-2, Nintendo can at least keep a steady stream of gaming in absence of 3rd parties.

They will be two completely devices with compatible os's.
If so, I will likely sit NX out until end of life cycle. I don't have confidence Nintendo has the developer bandwidth to maintain two separate devices anymore, and my appetite for Japanese-centric gameplay has waned over the last console generation.
That said, enough of the walls of text, people. I look here to see if anyone has scooped up any hot NX news, not to see the same stupid arguments rehashed over and over.

It's history repeating itself all over again!So no final Fantasy 7 remake anymore?
Nope. Nintendo stuck with a cartridge format for the NX while PlayStation 4 went with a CD format so now the Final Fantasy 7 remake is going to be on PlayStation instead.
I replied just to let you know that at least someone got your joke. Well played.
Thanks! I appreciate it. I thought that post was brilliant but it seemed to have gone totally ignored as people kept posting about make believe specs.
C'mon man, even SMD64 isn't totally dismissing Eurogamer's reporting anymore like you are.
Also, Ubisoft isn't giving Nintendo an exclusive BG&E2 out of the kindness of their heart. Nintendo is paying for that if true.
