I hope the design is clean and modern and takes notes from what Apple is doing with design.
I sure don't. I want to be able to actually hold this thing for hours.

Franz Brötchen;215110488 said:Again with quoting iOS/android devices' resolution, that's misleading if not idiotic. Obviously the interesting part will be natively rendered portable HD games and THOSE could indeed be first on such a device. Having N64 upscaled on a 4k monitor wouldn't be 4k gaming, would it?

Why are we automatically assuming everything on NX is going to be rendered at 720p native?
Also wonder if a 6.2 inch screen will be too large to really make it a 3DS replacement.
Because the rumoured SoC is capable of doing that.
Why are we automatically assuming everything on NX is going to be rendered at 720p native? I mean, I sure hope so but it's not in any way guaranteed.
Even the Vita had many subnative titles at 540p.

Yeah, well we know how that turns out most of the time. Some devs will invariably still prioritize eyecandy over resolution.
Expand on this please. Do you mean slippery like the iPhone 6 or ergonomics?
Can't be that, Sun/Moon requires both sreens. You would need to create the game from the start and I see no reason for them doing so. I am still hoping for the inevitable Kanto remake.
On topic: Does anyone have any guesses on what kind of batteries each controller will use? I'd say 1000mah for each controller and 2000-2500mah for the brains.
Hey do you plan to get a psvr"Using the old wiimotes to play multiplayer titles". Nintendoomed
Stop telling people they can use your new system with parts of the old ones... For christ sake Nintendo! Come on! Grow some marketing degree..

Ergonomics. It's weird, because Nintendo is capable of very comfortable console controllers, but totally drop the ball on their handhelds. Despite its bulk, the Wii U Gamepad was quite comfortable.
Nobody has move controller anyway so that's like new But that's also bad yeah, just less cause it's not using the idea that everyone has them so they can build on that.
How was 4 players a novelty and not just a feature?

Please Nintendo. A simple home console with a normal controller is all I ask from you.
PLEASE!
You don't put a screen in a handheld unless you intend for games to natively target its resolution.
Vita is an outlier where Sony screwed up the balance.
Why didn't Sony mandate that games be native-res? That always seemed so bizarre to me.
September, SEPTEMBER! >O<With all these rumors JUST TELL US ALREADY!
Literally the only first-party game announced for NX relies 0% on control gimmicks.
Besides the gamecube, which still had 4 player novelty, this Nintendo never existed.
Its because of that reason I believe that motion controls are going to be purely optional, and never forced like they were on the Wii. It's way too impractical for the handheld mode require anything beyond attached controller gyro. I can see it as something you can only do while docked.Also, beyond size problem, did you guys talk about the fact that if some games need you to actually detach the controller and put the screen on some stable surface.. That's already, not only no pocketable, but not portable anymore. You can't play in the bus, in the metro, in the WC.. It's transportable but not playable on the go.
So, I made a mock-up based the premise that the screen on the development kit is provisory, only to show the resolution of the NX in portable mode. Then I figured that:
- customized controllers. Put the sticks and the buttons on the order of your preference.
- each controller have their own battery.
- the main body don't have a battery and is very light.
- the NX can use smarth devices, like phones and tablets as the screen.
- you can use the TV when plug the main body to the dock.
- the body can send image for more than one device at time. You can use the TV and a tablet to play games like Mario maker,for example.
- Use the controllers like 2 Wiimotes.
- it's possible to use a smarth device like a controller.
Guys, this system has to be simple enough that small children can use it without swallowing bits of controllers / losing parts etc.

They can experiment a lot with the touch screen and the screen orientation, something console/PC games haven't been able to do. Nintendo can produce big budget touch screen only games, motion control only games, or any combination of the two.

Y'all trippin for real..
720p is like the highest resolution on a portable gaming system to be released. Vita is 540p, 3DS is bullshit 240p.
720 lets the NX have better performance, better graphics, and have better battery life for a HANDHELD ELECTRONIC
I expect people on GAF to know about basic computation along with your gaming knowledge brehs
I'm pretty excited by the possibilities NX can provide. I think we're in for something pretty special with this system.
The NX is rumored to use a chip that's capable of <2x Wii U and being portable means Nintendo can create really good looking and ambitious games while keeping the budget down and (hopefully) having a big enough install base to create a lot of experiences.
Last gen they had to struggle between supporting 2 systems capable of 3D gaming unlike Wii/DS and one of the systems costs a heck of a lot more while selling like 1/5th as many units. They also struggled with HD development but now they know what it takes to manage an HD project (the team sizes and time necessary to make an HD game) on top of having a lot of HD experience and tech including the Zelda engine and its advanced physics engine. Additionally, this time around they'll have just one system/platform to support that's powerful enough to support any idea Nintendo has and being a portable system they can also get away with having simpler visuals with smaller budgets (return of mid tier software)
On top of that, they're bundling in two new Wii Motion+ like controllers? That sounds great! Having two analog sticks and two Wii Motion+ like controllers will allow for a deeper experience than the Wii Mote and nunchuck would've ever allowed with better camera controls and mobility. The new force feedback sounds interesting too, I kind of really want that fabled motion controlled sword fighting game.
There's also the touch screen and the detachable controllers and how that could work. I found this and posted it the locked NX thread:
They can experiment a lot with the touch screen and the screen orientation, something console/PC games haven't been able to do. Nintendo can produce big budget touch screen only games, motion control only games, or any combination of the two.
It sounds promising, even indies can go nuts with this concept on a system that will likely have a big enough installbase while not being as weak and hard to develop for as the 3DS
Oh! and You can also allow for Wii VC games to work well with the new controllers and 3DS VC can probably work on this too
This looks complex, but super kool! I love the Wii mote <3

My first ever gif:
I hope it ends up being like Wiimote, that's my favorite console controller.
I think Wiimote is awesome too, but how would it work when used as a portable?
