WiiNX
Too similar to Squeenix.... possible agreement with Square?
WiiNX
No. I believe Iwata specifically compared how it works to how iPad and iPhones were. Same OS, similar architecture, different specs.
People familiar with the development plans said Nintendo would likely include both a console and at least one mobile unit that could either be used in conjunction with the console or taken on the road for separate use.
Think of your dream console and cut everything in half just to be on the safe side.How much more powerful though
But this article states:
Not really, when they talked about it they wanted it to be easy to port a game from console to handheld because they used a similar architecture, but it wouldn't just automatically work or anything, developers would still have to do work to get a console game working on the handheld device. Don't expect almost all games to be ported from console to handheld.Am I right to say that most games will be "You only pay once" , and that only a small portion of the games will be exclusive to either the NX handheld / NX home console?
They also said Nintendo would aim to put industry-leading chips in the NX devices, after criticism that the Wii Us capabilities didnt match those of competitors.
Well my memory is a little hazy but I read rumours that it was going to be pretty powerful and a big step up from 360/PS3. I got excited and so did many others, then we ended up with is the Wii U.
I hope they get some more expertise in the online network area too
How many bits does it have? Is there blast processing?
Industry leading hardware? I'll believe it when I see it but for their sake I hope it's true.
They forgot to say for the next 5 minsindustry-leading chips

Another rumor that seems to excite fans is that the upcoming console will release new titles, aside from its standard "Mario" games. Some outlets suggest that for it to be a hit among gamers, it should include "Legend of Zelda," "Star Wars Rogue Squadron," "Pokémon," "Mass Effect: Andromeda," and "Pikimin."
Gotta love that Pikimin game!
So this really is a console/handheld hybrid?
That flies in the face of what Nintendo has actually previously said about NX though. I think that's just a misinterpretation of things by WSJ
I wouldn't follow that link it's quoting arbitrary unsourced blogs.WAIT! There's a new Rogue Squadron coming out?
Really hope this becomes a permanent thing from themIt will have industry leading optical disc roundness.
So the NX is going to be bundled with both a console and a mobile unit with industry leading hardware for both devices? Sounds very expensive. I'm surprised that's the direction they would go in. If it's true that is.People familiar with the development plans said Nintendo would likely include both a console and at least one mobile unit that could either be used in conjunction with the console or taken on the road for separate use.

If you look at how great Nintendo can make their games look on the Wii U imagine how they will look on a console more powerful than the PS4 and XB1.
For the specs clarification, if dev kits are out, we'll probably get some from more gaming oriented sites soon.
Gotta love that Pikimin game!
Zelda as a NX launch game? Possibly a Wii U release at the same time. I can see that happening.

That's the intent, yeah. There will still be exclusives, and games don't have to be on both.
WAIT! There's a new Rogue Squadron coming out?
That reads like a powerful vita with a docking station for living room, am I reading it wrong ?Nintendo would likely include both a console and at least one mobile unit that could either be used in conjunction with the console or taken on the road for separate use.
Should have renamed it to wariowareinc.nintendo.comRIP Wario World, ___-2015
We know nothing about this alleged "mobile unit." It doesn't necessarily need to be a controller or portable game device.

But this article states:
It could just mean it could be used as a controller like the gba and 3ds for smash.
Nintendo barely have the internal resources to make Wii U games, what chance do they have of making titles with XB1/PS4 levels of fidelity?

What if it is some kind of all in one hybrid home console, portable console, mobile phone, tablet, laptop, toaster, foot spa, metal detector and air traffic control station?
