WUSTs taught GAF the hard way to keep expectations in check when it comes to Nintendo.
Yet it happens again.
Deep inside, you know how to react.
I'm cautiously hyped. Yay.

This option definitely sounds like the most optimistic that is also realistic. At most, it'll be some extra RAM for games that couldn't function well without.
I remember when he said it's going to have more powerful CPU than Xbone.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
LCGeek and NateDrake are far better sources than IdeaMan ever was, though.
I asked a question & he answered it, I don't see the problem. I censored my Twitter account because I don't want to be bombarded on my Twitter account.
You're making a mountain out of an ant-hill, relax. My god, it's like I killed your first-born child.
You know you will end up hyped and then that hype will describe the same line the Nintendo stock is looking like in the last few weeks.
NateDrake must be kinda shitting itself with the huge amount of relevance his leak took so fast. Hope you are ok buddy.
The third parties who are making Vita and PS4 games right now should find a decent home on NX if its battery life is good, but even then they are going to be under threat from phone gaming, so it all still depends on whether or not there is even an audience for a handheld console device in Japan in that capacity.
Everyone owns a phone by default, NX is still going to have to be bought as a separate thing and that investment might not be worth it to most.
Japan is still the biggest potential audience for this type of device, as when you go westward, the options balloon

If anything it solves a mystery in the Dev kits from the other day.
No. The Eurogamer leak stated that devkits are using overclocked X1s, which would make sense if the final GPU was something more advanced.

It doesn't really contradict anything. The initial reports said the current devkit chip was a Tegra X1 with active cooling and audible fan noise, and speculation was that it could change.

if semiaccurates initial rumor is right and its looking likely, nVidia offered Nintendo a deal that was really really good for Nintendo.

This is really exciting. September is going to be awesome
Oh, I saw it, thank you, and it's very exciting. LCG is saying the system will exceed their previous expectations and that sets my hype levels off the charts. I just didn't know if there was some other nuance or aspect you were referring to.
Not really. Eurogamer did note that the X1 in the current NX dev kits were actively cooled, which implies that they were overclocked to serve as placeholders for what would be in the final NX units.

That's what I'm most interested to see. We have a decent idea of what NX might do now, but we don't really know how it will use the hardware. My guess would be that they heavily emphasize the portable capabilities of the machine. Take your NX to a friends house and throw your system on their dock to share your games with each other.
You were being disgenious in that first post.
Don't be mad if somebody calls you out on it.

People seriously underestimate what a portable full featured FIFA, Madden, and NBA 2K would mean to some people.
If the NX gets a decent NHL game, which is about as likely as a WWE Game having perfect collision detection, I would probably have to fight back tears.

I don't remember reading "overclocked" from Eurogamer anywhere.
I wouldn't doubt it. Nintendo will use the cheapest guts it can get,
It's not even going to be a contest. This nukes other handhelds from orbit.
Other posters phrased it better; they have active cooling with fan noise.

Does anyone have an educated guess how powerful this GPU is? I know that the specs aren't out but humor me.

Actually, they never said this; what they said is that the X1s are actually cooled with audible fan noise; but in the Shield and other devices, the X1 was already active cooled; and Nintendo being Nintendo, I wouldn't expect more power than the regular X1, which is better than the WiiU.

900 times more powerful than Scorpio.
This excites me.
But I wasn't trying to be disgenious, I was just posting what I tweeted to him. Again, you're making a big deal out of nothing.
We don't know. But probably reasonable to expect something on par with a full powered X1, and maybe better than that.

No particular nuance, unfortunately. But this casual statement from a trusted source was definitely not something I expected in this thread.

Wouldnt this make people purchase 3rd party games on NX instead of xbone and ps4? I mean you get the same quality of games but now you can take it wherever you want

Yeah, saw that.
My bad, I don't know what any of that shit means.
Are you implying this leak was controlled? Cuz if so that blows my mind. Didn't think Nintendo did stuff like that.
I think NX will struggle to even get close to 3DS sales in Japan but if all these rumours are true Nintendo is giving it the best chance it can get. 100% of Nintendo's output and advanced enough to handle the vast majority of third party content should make it an attractive platform.
Basically unless Nintendo botches the execution terribly I can't see any other dedicated device doing remotely as well in the future
and that's somewhat terrifying.
Even if the NX was at Xbox One levels when docked, there's still the issue of the Nintendo audience not giving a shit about whatever western third parties throw at the system.

Okay Nintendo, time to reveal this monster handheld.

No, because those systems actually have an install base and Nintendo systems are iffy and unstable with third party support putting it mildly.

What? If its popular it will have all kinds of audience, not just "nintendo people"
I'm a Nintendo fan and would be so excited if I could get the same third party games on my Nintendo system. I own all systems (not PC) but I'd love to have everything on a Nintendo system.

How is 540p higher than you'd expect? What were people expecting? It's not 2011 anymore. I could read it as "expect" for sub-HD, "hope" for 1080p, and it actually being 720p.
I'd still be fine with 540p, though.
Yes, we would, but we don't really represent the majority. The way that western publishers see it, their games sell like shit on Nintendo platforms, so they don't think they should bother.
If it is appropriately powered and the software comes it could win people over on some titles. I imagine being able to take a full featured madden on the go would appeal to some. Its always going to face obstacles but all depends on how stuff is packaged and delivered
Assuming the Pascal rumor is true, 540p on the go, 1080p on the dock is more likely. Which is fine, if the screen is the right size 540p would be perfect.
