Yeah NateDrake afaik is not an insider, his sources are our sources, and then the rumor of customization is a speculation upon a speculation. (Though a logical one because all Nintendo's previous chips were customized.) All we 'know' is the dev kit has a tegra x1. After that I don't know why you jump to 14nm FinFET. I would like it to be Pascal based, I think it makes sense, because you need something passively cooled for a handheld, but this is still Nintendo we're talking about, so don't assume anything.
I'm not speculating on Pascal.

Couldn't help but notice that subreddit's thread on a tweet Nintendo of Europe posted today:

Now, what useful item might you find in a Woodcutter's House? #Zelda

Attached footage then shows Link going inside said house to retrieve...an axe.

N X.

I don't think this means anything but I love the notion of some intern having fun with us.

This is all wrong.

He's very confident it's Pascal based Tegra inside the NX. It was speculation or taken from other peoples info

I've seen that too on Reddit, though i don't take it like an hint of a announcement, but rather like they're trolling us...

Like someone said, tomorrow there will be new stuff about Pokemon, i guess NX will have to wait until October

Okay first you stole that from ZhugeEX and second it's reaching of the highest order.

It's an old video that NoE is late to post. NoA posted that video weeks ago.

Yeah if anything is trolling, tongue-in-cheek posting. I like it a great deal.

I "stole" nothing, in the very first sentence of my post I'm open about finding it in Reddit, and in the very last one I say I don't think it means jack but that I'm amused all the same.

All joking aside, the reason I want AMD has more to do with Nvidia screwing over the two previous console manufacturers. I'm worried Nvidia will pull the same shit again, and god knows how Nintendo will react.

That said, I can't deny Nvidia's mobile chips are way ahead of AMD's. Hell, in AMD's case, it's non-existent. Pascal is very power efficient, so it'll bring a hopefully decent performance/power draw to a hybrid like this.

What did nvidia do? Honest question cause I don't know
 
Is sboat the s-rank version of cboat?

I just really want his leak to be true, but as a Nintendo fanboy of thirty years, there's too much history to believe in dreams.

Sboat is from a dumb thread in which someone mistook Cboat for Sboat.

Sboat was suggested to mean that the leaker is full of BS.

I know last news we heard pointed at March and everything, though the lack of official news so far, the 3DS games announced for 2017...at this point unfortunately a "delay" (since it's never been official announced) seems the more realistic scenario. I really want to be wrong and i want to see and play with this console as soon as possible, but my feelings are these unfortunately
 
Nintendo spent 0 $ for marketing the NX since Iwata talked about it, but everyone is talking about it.

Kind of a repeat of the Revolution/Wii hype.

Everyone and their mother was hyped up for the Revolution reveal.
And all we knew was...nothing. Literally. Just the codename. Everyone was hyped as fuck.
Most were still hyped once it was revealed to be vastly underpowered. And all this cost Nintendo $0 in terms of marketing beforehand.

NX could get the same attention actually. Everyone is obviously hyped up for the NX to be revealed. In its case though its underpoweredness is already taken into account beforehand (at least by most people it seems). Yet people are still hyped.

I know that I'm hyped, even though I'm trying to keep it at a normal level. I don't want to think up my dream console only to get that dream squashed by reality.
I will accept what Nintendo will throw at me. Blame my Nintendo-fanboyism for that.

All I got from the article was they negotiated and then settled it. That's how businesses work

Yeah but because people read about that and think Nvidia saying that they gave AMD the ps4 contract that must mean nvidia doesn't get along with game console makers.

Is anyone else frustrated that it's late September and we still don't know hardly anything about NX? I'm starting to get a bit anxious.

Same. The waiting game it's becoming really annoying now. Been literally waiting since january 1st from info and we're almot at the 10th month of the year and still nothing!

I agree ! The only thing I'm hyped for is being able to play Breath of the Wild on the go, with a handheld powerful enough to play BotW (darn, March is so far away, the main theme of BotW is in my mind everyday...).

when you say "everyone", I think you are talking about a really low figure of people.

Not really. Nintendo specifically said they'll talk about it more in the fall season. Not even fall yet.

That "everyone" is an extremely small amount of people in the grand scheme. The vast majority of customers Nintendo really wants don't even know this thing exists yet.

Was that really announced or are you just assuming based on the fact there's been a new Pokemon Sun/Moon trailer almost every week?

Every time I see footage of the new Zelda the wait becomes even harder. I just need NX to be revealed and for Zelda to be given an official release date at this point. *Sigh*
 
Sorry guys I haven't been following the NX very close ( I am buying one no matter what) do people think we will get a reveal before the PRO drops?

Just seems that if it doesn't happen in the Sept/Oct time frame, it would be best to wait until January.

Although a Xmas day Direct would be kind of cool.
