WSJ: NX to use carts. Analysts have said an announcement could be prior to TGS
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
I thought Wii U discs have a smooth edge only on the exterior.

Why? Nintendo can say it 24 hours before and everyone that would be interested will be made aware via their usual channels.
The announcement of the NX is not mainstream relevant, this will only surface in usual circles. Mainstream coverage won't hit until we get into February / March and people can actually go out and buy the thing.

Analysts said there "could" something happening?

Why do they call them carts? They'll be a higher capacity version of the DS cards.

Only rumored so far. WSJ is usually on point.

Out of curiosity, could we ever see the $/GB for flash memory game cartridges actually get cheaper than BD-ROM discs, when accounting for things like the size of the box/shipping costs/etc?
When you account for the cost of the BD-ROM drive (which also adds a new component that can break) we might already be near the point where cartridges make more economic sense.

I think the cart sizes can't be too small. People will lose it way too often.
It needs some weight for a physical copy to have some je ne sais quoi. If it's too light it can feel ephemeral.

It's not like the information will disappear if you don't watch it live. If real life gets in the way, just catch up afterwards.

So..with games going at 50 GB and even pushing that further with hard disk installs. Where does that leave the NX?

We are already there, Blu-Rays, and discs in general are a dead format.
4k Blu-Rays will be the last hurrah of it, and people will collect them like laser discs. The big problem is that since the format is digital, there is nothing to be gained about collecting them, since in the future, a better or same content will be available by download.
I'm seriously thinking about collecting NX games physically, since this versions are getting rarer on WiiU and 3DS, and since it's a platform, they will worth on future NXs as well.

like most Nintendo Announcements if we don't get a major leak with fuzzy photos of the devkit
'Out of Nowhere!' is what the NX thread will feel like

How will patches and the likes be handled?
I guess they could do it like they have before and put them on the eShop, but that seems kinda cumbersome.

What's patches got to do with discs/carts? You can't save patches on discs.
It will probably have some on board flash memory, and have an SD card slot.

TGS isn't the 21st...what are you going on about. You're making things up.

You can feel the announcement coming. I personally cannot wait to have Nintendo back in the fold. Bought a Wii U at launch but traded it in soon after. The Wii wasn't much better and I haven't had a 3DS in a while. I can't wait to play Nintendo games again
I'm in the same boat. I had my Wii U up until the summer after Smash came out and enjoyed it at the time. But man, that spring/summer 2015 had so few games, and my Wii U started gathering dust big time. It was the E3 2015 showing, with its complete lack of anything interesting, that made me realize Nintendo was already moving on. I sold it after that.
But man, I am excited to get back in the loop and play Nintendo games again, as long as the software releases are consistent.
Rated M for Mature.
If they only invite a couple oulets similar to the reveal of the Wiimote back in 2005, then, sure, that would work.
But if they invite a whole lot of different gaming and mainstream press outlets, then NDAing an invite becomes rather inefficient. It only needs one or two persons to talk either accidentally or anomiously to one of the known insiders. It'd basically be untracable.

If I were Nintendo I would rehearse the announcement so that its absolutely perfect and clear and then release a pre recorded announcement video.
Then a week later they could hold a press event to allow journalists hands on experience with the games and system.
That way they keep the media buzzing for a solid two weeks and the initial announcement can be carefully controlled.

Not getting those games, or challenging devs to compress their content。
NX is not going to be getting those games (3rd party multi-plats) anyway. And Nintendo is pretty good at keeping their game sizes down.

Cartridges will easily surpass that amount at low price in the coming years. The real question is where does this fact leave BluRay and disc based media in general (and the answer is in the garbage can where it belongs).

Why? I think the changes for it to be announced soon are really good. If it releases in march like they announced several times.
I think some people are so desperately awaiting the announcement since weeks/months that they forget that the announcement only makes sense in the next two month.
The only warmth I get is from sweating while listening to the optical drive chew and crunch on data heavy games. I guess it's true that can't be replicated.

Games will launch with 1 GB on the disk and mandatory 100 GB day1 "patch".

Apologies I meant after the tgs . I thought tgs ran a lot longer than that. I did not say I knew anything , i was just making an assumption. But maybe it will be after 15tb and it could be full reveal at tgs !
Depends on the NDA. Also remember Kotaku is owned by Univision now, not Gawker "we don't care about any laws" Media.
Heck, who knows if the journalists even know it's a Nintendo event?
