Nintendo Switch

Do you also play with non-PlayStation devices? Do you enjoy playing as a plumber saving a princess? Or some bald marines? Or maybe you want to play using the touchscreen?

Ang wish ko lang sa NX is backwards compatible sa Wii U games. Been contemplating on buying Wii U pero since less than a year na lang ang release ng NX inisip kong maghintay na lang muna.

It's the Wii U.

Tingin ko backward-compatible pa rin ang NX sa Wii U. Yung Wii kaya mag-GameCube. Yung Wii U kaya mag-Wii.

Not much new here. Just a "confirmation" from WSJ...
(Btw, I really doubt yung size ng cartridge kasing laki ng sa NES! :lol: :lol: )
New Report from WSJ Confirms Nintendo NX Will Dump Discs for Cartridges, and Here’s Why it is a Good Idea

While Nintendo has its lips firmly closed on the topic, rumors and leaks regarding the upcoming next-gen video game console from the company, codenamed Nintendo NX, are popping up like anything. Some just come and go, some are followed up on by other sources. This latest report backs up a similar that rumors and reports that have been circulating the web for months now, confirming that Nintendo NX will pass on the current disc format for video games, and will go back to use some form of cartridge.

Nintendo Plans to Bring the Old-School Format Back to Life By Using Cartridges as Storage Medium for Nintendo NX’s Games

The Wall Street Journal recently published a new report concerning the storage medium that Nintendo NX is expected to use for games. According to the site, “people familiar with the matter” have stated that Nintendo has plans to go down the line and adopt cartridges for its upcoming latest video game console. While it may seem a little unusual considering even Wii U uses discs, industry experts think Nintendo’s approach is reasonable, and that cartridges are “no doubt today’s best format to physically distribute games.”
“Industry watchers said cartridges were a reasonable choice for Nintendo’s next-generation system, code-named NX, because the company targets a wider range of consumers than Sony or Microsoft,” the Wall Street Journal wrote. “Nintendo’s core fans include small children, who might scratch discs but find cartridges tougher to damage. Cartridges also allow games to load faster, are harder to copy and can be mass-produced faster than discs, they said.”

This is not the first time we are hearing about Nintendo’s plans about not going with the standard disc format as a storage medium. Eurogamer reported more than a month ago that according to “multiple sources,” “Nintendo NX will use game cartridges as its choice of physical media.” It has also been suggested that the Japanese platform holder’s upcoming next generation console will come mainly as a potable console, with its own display and detachable controllers. A docking station will allow users to connect the console to a television for traditional home console entertainment experience.

It will be very interesting to see Nintendo bringing the old-school format back to life. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One currently use discs that can hold up to 50GB of data; some games are larger in size and require additional date that is delivered via the internet as an update. Cartridges, of course, haven’t been able to match discs in terms of storage, but that can change, considering how a single Micro SD card these days can store up to 256GB of data.

Of course, Nintendo has yet to officially comment on this topic, or many other topics concerning Nintendo NX for that matter. For more on the upcoming console, keep visiting here.

Nintendo NX Is A “Reboot” For The Company, 720p Screen Is “Very Highly Likely”; Possible Release Date Leaked
Image

September is almost over now, and we still haven’t heard anything concrete about the Nintendo NX, Nintendo’s new console which is supposed to launch this March in all regions. Previous rumors suggest that the console is going to be a brand new concept that hasn’t been explored in the past, and the words from a developer seem to confirm this.

A few hours, IGN talked about the currently known Nintendo NX rumors in its Nintendo Video Chat. One of IGN’s founders, Peer Schneider, also took part in the chat, confirmed that he talked with a developer about the NX, and he’s been told that the console is a “reboot” for Nintendo, referring to the console supposedly using carts as rumored. Peer also added that the 720p resolution for the screen is “very credible” and “very highly likely”, and that the detachable controllers use IR and that they’re not the main way to control games. Regarding the detachable controllers, Peer Schneider also heard that they are very cheap, in the vein of the Wii nunchuck.

As already mentioned, Nintendo announced that the NX will be released during March in all regions, but a precise release date has yet to be confirmed. However, it seems like the console might be released at the beginning of the month, on March 4th to be precise, as Nintendo France leaked the release date for the Zelda Breath of the Wild amiibo figures, which are supposed to release alongside the game. There’s always the chance that Breath of the Wild Wii U may release before the NX version, so take this with a grain of salt until an official confirmation comes in.

The Nintendo NX will release sometime during March in all regions. We will keep you updated on the mysterious new Nintendo console as soon as more comes in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.

Nintendo NX To Be Revealed Next Week, To Cost $300/$350 According To Investment Banking Firm

Image
The mysterious new Nintendo console, codenamed NX, has yet to be fully detailed and fans are getting more and more excited as time passes, since rumors are painting a very interesting picture. Recently, we have heard that the console will be revealed within the year, but it seems like the reveal might be closer than we think.

According to investment banking firm Macquerie, as reported by Seeking Alpha, Nintendo will finally detail the NX sometime next week. Macquerie also expects the console to cost between $300 and $350, a price that will result in a major disappointment for volume sales, according to the firm.

While the $300 / $350 price point for the NX may just be speculation on Macquerie’s part, it seems like it may not be too far from the real one. Earlier this week, another rumor which has surfaced online thanks to a large Nintendo retail partner put the console’s price between $299 and $399.99 for a bundle option.
