How is this hard to understand?
Take it with you or play at home on the tv. Add power box for better graphics. Done. Finito. Not hard.
Ahahaha

So this guy is from foxconn? Why would he know about the power of this thing?
Someone might a given an explanation just above.
Imagine hardware refreshes that only switch the SCD, would make them pretty cheap.
If you can take this thing on the go, since it has its' own battery, I imagine it will lock onto the back of the portable somehow, which is what IGN vaguely described weeks ago.
You mean like a PC? The part you'd be switching out would be the bulk of the expense.
Because then the handheld doesn't have access to the 'performance module' when on the go.

The rumor included a battery powered performance module since when?
The rumors I'd seen circulating insinuated a weaker handheld, that got enhanced by the dock that had additional hardware and was hooked up to your TV. Simple.
This version has the performance module as a separate battery powered ordeal, your HDD separate on the dock, and your weaker handheld screen thing to mix and match with. This sounds like a bigger mess than the rumors.

I hope it comes with a Mario fanny pack.
I kind of hope this is real just for the meltdowns.
Thank you. But what the heck could the dock di with no module?
Right, well, unless those games can stream to the HH via wifi.
The dock doesn't detach. It stays plugged into your TV. The HH is at a low quality by default. The module plugs into the dock to allow console play, or into the HH to boost HH performance.
speaking of which, do we know if the HH plugs into the dock at all? Or only the module does?
The dock doesn't provide performance, the module does (to both the dock, to make it a console, and to thr HH, to make it a stronger HH).
Yes, yes and yes, but you also can connect thr module to the HH to boost power. Thr module detached from the HH.
Hm, I got the sense the HH will play carts also. I have to look at the quotr again.
Right, but it also adds performance to the HH.
Yes. Exactly. The dock does nothing without the module.
Detachable controllers and other controllers. That's if the HH does need to be plugged into the dock. It may not need to be if the module is the console.
Right, though I'm unclear on number two. Also, #4, you can play like a traditional console with the module (and HH?) plugged into the dock.
I wonder if the games won't just look and perform a bit worse rather than not being playable. Seems that would cut out a lot if player's portability.

If this is it it seems super cool.

What if the handheld plus dock is the NX and the power brick is sold separately as an add-on?
The *new* Nintendo Gamecube!

The module gives it extra juice when attached, considering it has its own CPU and gpu. Its the scd. Assuming this info we got is legit.
No, it's not. It's an under-powered console and under-powered handheld and a power pack. This is worse than the previous speculations.
Lol.
Well then.
Huh...haven't even thought about that. Nice
On the other hand, this is not the creative move from Nintendo I expected.
Why isn't the performance module built into a sylish helmet/hat????
Something like this...

Personally I feel it's a PR nightmare at first glance in terms of explaining it. However, there are ways to clarify. Especially this: split it into two distinct products that have the option of interacting with each other. The NX Home and NX Mobile. People who don't care about mobile could just go to the store and buy the NX plus docking station. People who just want the mobile gaming experience could go to the store and buy the NX plus handheld screen. People who want both could just buy the one piece they're missing.
If this is what they're thinking I truly hope they're going to be beyond crystal clear with the messaging. I don't mind carrying a little extra cube in my back pack that streams BotW to my handheld. But if some thought PS4 Pro was confusing, this might give it some competition.

Foxconn? What's that?

Wth...so I'm basically buying the NX tablet that does nothing until I buy a box then it turns into a video game machine to play on the go.
Something isn't making sense. Nintendo would never do this to the Japanese fan base who loves handhelds. They wouldn't make them buy another thing to make the NX work on the go.
Aww.
Quoting since it seems this is relevant.
So...time to think about what to do of this thread, maybe?
this sounds dumb.
I mean luckily I really only play portable stuff at home or on long car rides so no big deal....but yeah this isn't going to hit. The power brick part is the issue, just the system and the home dock makes sense...but having that third part for ruins it.
so yeah this is real; Because Nintendo

What if
The performance module could also stream on ios and android smartphones,
using them as displays/controllers.
Some part of me wants to say, #TeamFake, but most of the others are confused.
What I know with absolute certainty is that all these rumors are killing my life, because I have no self control and read the threads, all the threads, and the reddits all the reddits all the time help me I have like real time sensitive obligations what is wrong with me

Sounds interesting, to be honest. I'm definitely intrigued by an idea of Nintendo backed high-power handheld system.

It better have a fucking handle on it, otherwise it's not a true "cube-shaped game device".
Actually I really like this, i was seeing this more like a next handheld than a new console. And if the handheld on his own is stronger than a vita i would be ok.
Now, we really need to know how much the power module increases it's power and how are both batteries. (Also I assume that you cant have the power module working on your backpack because of ventilation, that could have been great).

If nothing else it continues the trend of Nintendo consoles doing something new outside of specs. The DS, Wii, 3DS and Wii U have all managed that.

Exactly. I'm assuming people are exagerrating their confusion here.
What evidence do we actually have that this is legitimate?
- It's posted on the same forum as the PS4 Slim/Pro leaks
- It's a a biro drawing
Given that it's not the same poster as the PS4 leaks, and anyone can quite easily get hold of both a biro and an account on that forum, I don't really see why everyone's so quick to jump on this as real. Even more so considering they're claiming that Nintendo haven't even decided between Nvidia and AMD for the SoC at this stage.

That's not what I'm reading in that post at all.
The DOCK, which connects to the tv, has the HDD. The tablet is capable of playing everything. It'll obviously have its own small internal memory (sd?) and a cartridge slot.
How hard is this? Play on the handheld or dock it to your tv. Add the power box to beef up the graphics. It's not rocket science. Come on.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Three parts? And people said it wouldn't have third part support...
Sorry to those who follow me on twitter, but this joke was too good not to re-use
NX thirst is real, hope the next leak will be legit.
