Eurogamer are reporting that Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers:

On the move, NX will function as a high-powered handheld console with its own display. So far so normal - but here's the twist: we've heard the screen is bookended by two controller sections on either side, which can be attached or detached as required.
Then, when you get home, the system can connect to your TV for gaming on the big screen.
A base unit, or dock station, is used to connect the brain of the NX - within the controller - to display on your TV.

There we have it folks, a gimmicky controller can get crossed off the list.

Now we just need underpowered specs, a mario kart game, smash bros game, zelda game and one good third-party game and we have ourselves a Nintendo flagship home console!

and shitty online infrastructure with NO 3rd party and we got the wiiu II!

 

[ut2k4master]

Seriously? It'll be a fine console with good first party games, a good selection of launch title (at least) 3rd party games (lots of devs are preemptively announcing for NX) and, really. if you want to play the newest western RPG or sports game or FPS just like on PS4/XB1/PC, then buy a PS4/XB1/PC instead of complaining that Nintendo doesn't do the same crap as them. It's quite obvious they don't want to and can survive without following the competition.

so just the wiiu all over again? ;P

It might be. But if Nintendo doesn't fail at marketing it, maybe it'll actually do well.

 

[Bladexdsl]

it will be the wiiu all over again...this better be fake!

i'd rather buy that nintendo mini than THIS!

I really hope it is like this, just yesterday I was talking about how I love handhelds with my friend

And then there is also the ability to play zelda on a car ride. I would love to have a handheld with the power of a wii U (is what my inner fangirl says) In reality though for nintendo; this absolutely sucks.

 

[ov3rkill]

I'll take it as a grain of salt. I need it badly for my fried egg.

Anyway, won't Nintendo be announcing or revealing it this year. I'm still a big N fan though unless you take away those awesome games. Hahahaha.

the crab I was eating is now salty because of this. thanks nintendo

I wonder why Nintendo needs to make stupid ass gimmicks all the time. Why can't they just make a normal console? Just you get the console, you plug in it, you put the game in, and it loads, you play it. Why all the extra bullshit. IT'S ANNOYING THE FUCK OUT OF ME, WHY DOES NINTENDO KEEP FUCKING UP?

 

[HaloEffect17]

I was hoping for a something along the lines of a GameCube, Nintendo...

they don't like doing the same shit the others do, they release the same stuff with repetitive fps and sport games I mean I like that Nintendo is trying to be different but they are taking it to the limit now

 

[HaloEffect17]

I guess "Wii U" really did spell emergency for Nintendo's future.

I know. But, Nintendo has all of these IP's, Metroid, Mario, blah blah. If you just do what people want, and make games..like..maybe..Metroid Fusion HD, you'd make millions of dollars. By pretty much making nothing. They're idiots for not going the easy route. They just keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over again. It's horrible.

I know but this is not even officially confirmed I still trust them remember the wii,3ds,snes,nes this guys have more experience that anybody in the game industry we should wait to see what they announce instead of this dumb rumors

Same here. Something that could actually compete with Sony and Microsoft

That's true. But, they are still fucking up. Like, look at the new metroid game, seriously, like did ANYONE want that. Everyone would have been hype as hell with a new metroid game on the Wii U game. But, no. They have to make a new """"""""""""""metroid""""""""""""" game that has nothing to do with the Samus Aran.

I know bro federation shit is just a spinoff well get a new Metroid game for the new console. there's no point to make it for the wii u

 

[Online]

This is what I've always wanted, the wiiU gamepad but with portability/handheld standalone functionality. This looks fucking dope, an all-in-1 is my dream console.

Now for it to be able to play gamecube and wii games on the go and I'm sold.

YAAAAY!! MORE GIMMICKS!!!

there is currently a fanboy war going on at ign

Doesn't surprise me, that place is pretty war-torn from all the bellyaching and name-calling and all those who are sanctimonious, I avoid those like the plague
