I don't know if I want to believe it or not.

I don't even know if I like it or not.

God damm it Ninty!! Reveal it now!!

 

[Eiolon]

So basically this is a Wii U but more powerful and you can use it anywhere. Not sure how it can be marketed since it is so similar. I don't like putting all its eggs in the same basket.

Perhaps they will sell it as a handheld first and then as a console second by making the dock an accessory.

 

[El Pescado]

Damn. I was all about this

Even if this drawing is fake I'm almost certain that this is pretty much what the NX is.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Thank god if it's fake. This would have been a disaster of catastrophic proportions!

 

[Moggelicious]

Intriguing! Upgradeable performance Unit perhaps and maybe even The screen Unit can be upgraded/changed ? Wiiyoumecubed 2daxtreme

 

[KingSnake]

Guys...really?

I know everyone is eager for the reveal, but you don't have to believe everything that comes along.

Yeah, pack it up.

 

[JasoNsider]

It's really "four" though.

1: Play on portable
2: Play on portable with power box somewhere near
3: Play on TV
4: Play on TV with power box somewhere near

In effect it's only two different configurations, but the graphics are decided by if you have the power box nearby or not.

Kind of, yeah. And this is also assuming you can take the sides off the mobile screen, too. Making for even more modularity.

This diagram/leak is essentially saying NX is an a la carte experience, where you connect or detach elements that suit how you like to play, but ultimately all games on a unified console (but maybe not really if you can only play Nintendo cell phone games without performance module)

edit: whoops! we're moving fast here. Looks like it might be fool's gold. Haha.

 

[Aters]

Well, as a Chinese, I found some one in that a9vg thread just points out this image is from somebody's yy(imagination) in tieba.baidu.com(another chinese form like reddit)

I found the original post. The description is the same but no pucture. However there is another post with that picture and the two descriptions are basically the same.

 

[Florist]

lol this thread was fun

Got me through this end of a long car ride haha.

 

[jett]

This sounds like a mess, and they still haven't chosen between Nvidia and AMD? I don't believe this news.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Nintendo just tell us already what the NX is

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

lmao

fake then?

and some people actually popped up that were actually okay with such a clusterfuck of a machine.

 

[L Thammy]

I can't wait until the NX is revealed so that we can compile a thread and look at all the dumb BS we believed was real.

Where's the projector in this, BTW?

The projector is inside us. We project our feelings toward Nintendo into our assessment of the NX.

 

[BitStyle]

Guys...really?

I know everyone is eager for the reveal, but you don't have to believe everything that comes along.

We are but heathens, Matt!
Thank you for your guidance

 

[Mr. Pointy]

So this isn't the PS4 Pro guy.

 

[Markoman]

Wait guys, but what if it is real?!?!?

 

[10k]

Guys...really?

Shut'er down folks.

Matt has spoken... time to close this thread

 

[Dark Cloud]

It's confirmed fake.

 

[Caffeine]

good if its fake, its a terrible concept that would confuse consumers to no end. they literally just need a handheld and a dock.

 

[purseowner]

Wait guys, but what if it is real?!?!?

 

[Anteo]

You could also just buy a bigger or smaller handheld component. Like a ds -> dsxl
Same performance module

 

[marmoka]

So it was fake? Lol, some people really enjoy playing with our emotions.

 

[TrojanBlade]

The Nintendo NEXTcube

More like 2C1R (2 cubes 1 rectangle)

 

[CrAzY FiNgErS]

if you can detach the controllers on the go, with the screen and the performance module thats 4 things to look after? >.>

Like a poster said earlier in this fast moving thread...it will be a totally modular handheld/console hybrid.

 

[Lilo_D]

Again, I can't confirm it's fake, but it's from a newly created(lv 1) account
It feels like someone just create an account in order to post this rumor
Believe it or not, really depends on yourself : )

 

[TB14]

Bob Ross over here.

 

[ggx2ac]

Guys...really?

This is good. I just woke up and only read the OP.

It sounded too suspicious reading the details that were being mentioned compared to the PS4 Pro and Slim leak.

Might as well be on GAF, innit.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Even if the image is a previous mock-up, this is incredibly plausible.

Well, except the "performance module." Not buying that it has wizard jizz. The dock will upscale from 720p.

 

[Oersted]

Guys...really?

I know everyone is eager for the reveal, but you don't have to believe everything that comes along.

Remember the NX controller thread? The 2 NX controller threads?

 

[Roo]

I see two USB ports and an Ethernet one in that sketch.

YAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But seriously, can't wait for this thing to be revealed. Hope Nintendo delivers.

Edit: oh.. probably fake then lol

 

[Rootbeer]

Great another fake... this is getting ridiculous T__T

I sorta liked the ideas this one had going, too.

So it's not fake?

Back and forth and back and forth...

Matt posted and he has inside info. He confirmed it fake anyways lol.

No 😑

 

[Throwaway123456789]

Which this was? It's literally a handheld with a dock that connects to the tv.

Add the power box for better graphics if you want. This wouldn't have been a terribly difficult thing to understand.

 

[Plinko]

Nice. Fake confirmed. Looked very contrary to Nintendo's "easy of play" paradigm.

 

[JimJamJones]

I mean, Nintendo can be stupid at times, but they're not THAT stupid.

Fake.

 

[maxcriden]

I found the original post. The description is the same but no pucture. However there is another post with that picture and the two descriptions are basically the same.

Also under the imagination or speculation section? Thanks!

Hearty thanks to those who debunked this.

It wasn't entirely clear to me which parts were streaming to where and when. It seems un-Nintendo-like to require WiFi streaming for on the go HH play so when KingBroly pointed out the seeming lack of cart slot in the HH that seemed especially bizarre as an aspect of the HH. Also Plinko, I really like the SCD idea but I have to concur with KingSnake and others that the ides of taking it wherever you go is a very difficult one to market. It's also just a confusing concept with too many moving parts, different modes, and use of streaming for play IMO. Hopefully if this is similar to reality, reality has excellent messaging in its marketing.

 

[Tetrodox]

Shucky Ducky, #TeamFake!
Nice blowup though, I really enjoyed the hyperbole.

 

[ggx2ac]

Nice. Fake confirmed. Looked very contrary to Nintendo's "easy of play" paradigm.

What made me suspicious of it was reading the dock had a HDD in it. (Also the choice of GPU...)

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

This thing sounds like a cluster fuck

Thanks. you said it was in a speculation or imagination section though, right? Which seems less likely to be a place for a leak? Aters mentioned in their post the post was in a couple different places in different parts.

 

[CrAzY FiNgErS]

This thing sounds like a cluster fuck

Don't worry it's fake. Modbot will end this soon!

 

[Plum]

Nice. Fake confirmed. Looked very contrary to Nintendo's "easy of play" paradigm.

Yeah. If the NX is a hybrid (which is incredibly likely) Nintendo will have put a lot of time and effort into making it into something that can be easily understood. They're not complete clueless idiots like some people want them to be, they know what went wrong with the Wii U and I doubt Iwata and now Kimishima would have made the same mistakes again during the conceptual phases.

 

[Retrobox]

I really liked the part where everyone stayed calm and didn't just go with the flow, using rational considerations why Nintendo might or might not release a device like that.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

This thing sounds like a cluster fuck

It's a good thing it doesn't exist then, wouldn't you agree???
