I only recently found out that you recharge your ink faster by moving around (in your own colour) than by staying still. Y'all probably already knew this. I found it a handy tip!
According to SMD64 who I'd trust over Emily and has been working in the business.
At best, if this thing is legit, it's a 3rd pillar (remember Nintendo talking about releasing more hardware form factors).
Do we know who's publishing? I would assume Nintendo but I can't find any confirmation.
Rising Star Games will serve as the distributor for the games in North America.
What's the difference when you can (and presumably will) play it on your TV?
Right now, [Nintendo] is simply not interested in providing hardware that directly competes with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It has its own ideas on where to take next-gen gaming.
And the compromise there is clear - a relatively lower level of performance compared to the existing current-gen machines. Nvidia's Tegra technology is built with a specific profile in mind: a delicate balance between performance and power efficiency in order to maintain battery life, the life force of mobile gaming.
But just how powerful is the NX relatively? In terms of the capabilities of Tegra X1, consider this: Doom BFG Edition on Xbox 360 and PS3 runs at 720p60 with frame-rate drops. The same game running on the Shield Android TV micro-console, based on X1, hands in a near-flawless 1080p60 presentation. Trine 2 - another 720p30 game on Sony and Microsoft's last-gen consoles - operates at 1080p30 on Tegra X1. Typically speaking, OpenGL games port really well to Tegra X1, while DirectX ports, like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and the recently released Resident Evil 5, aren't so impressive.
The chart is also now based on revenue instead of units sold, while this may be good for investors or stock holders, for the average Joe like you or me who doesn't have full access to the data I'd rather see trends of how popular something is, how much mind share it has, not how much money it is making.
Sure, I expect Sonic Mania on NX for reasons already stated. It just seems odd for Sega to announce one for NX without the other. Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and Pagoda West may not get development kits in advance, but Sega is the publisher. It knows which platforms it wants to release Sonic Mania. I'd suggest maybe Nintendo asked Sega not to mention NX except Sega announced Project Sonic 2017 for NX so the whole thing is just confusing to me.
One thing I think would be cool is if NX is the only platform that gets a physical release... on a cartridge and the special edition is packaged in a Genesis-inspired box.
Apparently according to friend-of-the-site Syrenne, the current NDA says not to announce games for the NX. Guess Ubisoft and Sega don't care!
