probably will be smaller, but great mock-up.e exactly how I imagine it
The "Ginmick" (NIntendo TM) is not unveiled yet. The controller related one specifically.
I agree with this. Their silence has done nothing but cause negative press so far.
detachable controller parts isn't it?

I think Nintendo should have just come out and said it was a handheld a long time ago. Expectations would have been way different and we wouldnt have all these disappointed/confused people that dont know what the heck is going on.

So...what would other companies want to copy from NX if Nintendo is so secretive about it?
I don't feel like there's anything here that either Sony or MS would want to copy.
Nintendo is chasing a white whale. Your entire argument is basically summed up as they just need to catch that white whale and everything will be ok.
That's ugly...and how would those detachable controllers work?
Made a small edit for those that can't live without the dpad. I call it the dbuttons.
I'm thinking that there is major potential for NX to utilize GeForce Now cloud service, even if the SCD never happens. Especially in Japan where everyone has access to very high bandwidth. The main point of GeForce Now is that you can play games on Nvidia Shield TV that itcould never handle natively. The same could happen with NX.
GeForce Now is a huge leap from older cloud gaming services, and has far more potential and Sony's current Remote Play.

Don't look like stand alone controllers and people keep forgetting that you can have
a traditional style controllers that can literally be embedded in the screen like this.
Didn't some info at some point mention something about Nintendo wanting to research on round screen? or something like that... it was a while ago....
Here's the article...

"Due to the radical change in hardware design and internal technology, we've been told by one source that there are no plans for backwards compatibility"
If we're assuming the resolution changes when docked to a TV, 540p for the handheld probably scales a lot better.
The story goes that Nintendo reached out to Sharp to use the tech in their next system, and that's all anyone knows. There had been talk of donut shaped screens and what not, but no hard facts. In my mind's eye I see two snes style controllers that the screen wraps around.

Nintendo is not quoted in their plans to make a donut shaped display. The Japan Times is making an assumption with no basis of fact except that the technology "allows displays to be moulded (molded) into many unique shapes".
You must be young, because I remember all those past consoles where Nintendo had the most powerful hardware.
The design just doesn't work. You can't have the face buttons way down at the bottom. It's not ergonomic at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it looks like the New Nintendo 3DS with an analog nub.
At least not in the way it has been presented to us by the Eurogamer rumor, from my viewpoint of course. The device needs something eye catching for it's form factor. See for example the oval shaped patent.detachable controller parts isn't it?
Funny enough some time ago, i did a very crude mock up of a "modern" take on the SNES dogbone that is detachable:In my mind's eye I see two snes style controllers that the screen wraps around.
Aesthetics are not the point. The mock ups are about functionality and explaining the concept. i would say is the other way around of what you wrote above, the mock ups have been questionable because all of them focus on looks first instead of functionality.Every mock up so far has been downright awful. I really hope it will be an aesthetically pleasing handheld.
That's what I was attempting to say.
I really feel like this is the wrong direction for Nintendo to go. Mobile gaming is completely dominated by phones and that's not going to change any time soon. They should have just continued to publish great nintendo games to Android and IOS for mobile and gone for a powerful gaming console for hardcore gamers. As someone who never really games on the go this is disappointing.
On the contrary. The "hardcore" are Nintendo's white whale. Instead, Nintendo is once again moving in to open waters to target the many other whales.
Not possible. They want to consolidate their market into one unit. And unofficially stating that they were leaving the console market by announcing a handheld but no console would have done a huge number on them in terms of market confidence
How is this targeting anyone that the 3ds wasn't targeting? This is not going to make people put their cell phones down and buy an NX.
I spent some more time playing with the idea and concepts being thrown arround so I updated my previous mockup.
I now think that the deattachable controllers could be nice for casual multiplayer on the go, but I am still trying to find a good use for the screen while docked.
I really don't want the screen go to waste like that while in console mode. Especially considering wireless transmission could liberate the (NX) screen for use while still making possible to display the game on the TV
It's definitely a big gamble. Some have speculated that the ability to turn this into a portable local MP machine with the detachable controllers will be one of the big selling points, but will casuals prefer that to everyone playing on their own smartphones?
do we know for sure that the detachable parts of the NX have to be used as standalone controllers?
because that just sounds terrible and unnecessary. who would ever want to play a game with those little shits?
left clip on should be L1, L2, a circle pad and d pad, and minus button.
right clip should be R2, L2, abxy, a second circle pad and plus button.
home button is on the core component of the nx
People have no issue playing with shitty touchscreen controls, even the detachable parts would be an upgrade.
At least not in the way it has been presented to us by the Eurogamer rumor, from my viewpoint of course. The device needs something eye catching for it's form factor. See for example the oval shaped patent.
i say this because theres tech available that could totally shake the standard button layouts plastered everywhere on the controllers we have had for years. Either a trackpad or a surface that detect inputs across the controller. Those Free Form Displays Nintendo is interested in... it would be a waste for Nintendo not to use them in this device.

For starters, this will be much cheaper. That $250 launch price slowed down a lot of the 3DS' momentum early on.

Too far apart you say?
I think it looks fine. It might take the thumbs a few seconds to move to the other ends. Although what is the struggle? Try reaching for the triangle on the ds4. Takes a good amount of time to press when working that right analog.
You forget that this isn't just another Nintendo handheld, but the place to play ALL Nintendo games. It shouldn't be measured by handheld trends alone.I would be surprised if it was significantly cheaper judging by the specs being leaked here. I'm betting it will be 199-249, Nintendo doesn't like to lose money on hardware.
Not to mention even it was 149, you're still have to convince people that they need another piece of portable hardware in addition to their phone. There's certainly a market there (I'm definitely going to buy one), but I really don't think it's a real growth area. I would really be surprised if it sells that much more than the 3DS. We shall see if they have anything else interesting hiding up their sleeve when they finally reveal it.
So i can put the "brain" into the "dock" to play on my TV?
