Nintendo NX????

It's Nintendo, it'll be a big flop for everyone who are interested in games besides Nintendo first party.
Plus at the same time it might not even be a console, gotta wait and see for them revealing it. :/

I don't have high hopes, but I also don't really care, I'm happy with the WiiU, no reason to upgrade yet imo, and I can't imagine how they'd make a new handheld after the 3ds, other than just upgrading the hardware, which they just did with the New 3ds.
I'm actually hyped for it, a hybrid console where you are able to play both on a television and away from home. This has been a major problem with the Wii U since i constantly have to move to retain signal from my Wii U.
But a system that is more powerful than the PS4 along with 4k graphics really pleases me and brings my hopes up for this new system coming out in 2017.

I really hope they announce a Direct dedicated to it soon. If they're still targeting for March 2017, it's better to convince people ASAP. Considering I'm willing to buy a console for a single game (provided it's one I'm very interested in), I'll very likely buy it on or close to launch, but not everyone is like that, and I can understand them. The WiiU delivered for me personally, so I have no reason not to trust them, but other people feel differently, or just never gave the poor guy a chance, and may not give the NX a chance.
The Wii U had a pretty rough start honestly.
But now it's starting to get better games and the Wii U sales have gone up over the past few years. I think they'll decide to release the NX once they've used up the Wii U and all of it's potential.

The Wii U used up all its potential, whatever that means. Nintendo couldn't even figure out how to impressively use the Gamepad outside of inventory, maps and Off-TV play. Breath of the Wild is going to be it's swan song, there's no reason to buy a Wii U except for maybe a few select games.

I didn't buy a Wii U till Mario Kart 8 came out so I doubt I will buy the NX any time soon.

I bought the Wii U just to play splatoon, I got my moneys worth out of it, couple hundreds hours.
Oh and I bought Guitar Hero Live for it too, with the guitars, that's pretty awesome too, it also came with MK8 only played it once though.

With how they're making the new Zelda playable with no gamepad support, I wouldn't hold my breath for the NX to be both a home console and a portable.
Aside from visuals, they're keeping the NX and Wii U versions of the new Zelda pretty much identical. Seems they're saying something with this move, that the NX won't have a second screen or Gamepad support (which would also mean no backwards compatibility, at least for games that still requrie the gamepad)
I guess they could make the NX portable by having the handheld device plug into the TV, but that would make it a second screen for 'gamepad' support, so I doubt it. I really doubt think they would have the screen right there in your hands and do nothing with it.
They could have the handheld as a 'secondary unit' that you can pick up and take with you, but I don't see them sticking a second screen onto something that can also only be used in 'outside mode' either. For one that would essentially make it an entire second console which would severely either bump the price up or force them to take a lot of losses.
There's also the logic behind that...Logic which basically doesn't exist. Why bundle two things together and sell it for a higher price to a smaller number of people when you could sell them separately to way more people? In order for the 'handheld' part to function properly away from the 'main bit', it needs to function as its own separate device, so why would you only sell that bundled with the console itself? It would be the same as only selling the Wii U bundled with the 3DS.
I'm just guessing based on the changes to the Wii U version though.
Again, hearing Reggie dance around the questions in regards to the NX's power makes me think either:
A) The NX either doesn't compete in terms of hardware power compared to the PS4+Xbone OR the Neo/Scorpion.
B) He doesn't know how powerful it is himself and was just using blanket statements (which I find unlikely).
But essentially in an interview (below) he was responding in regards to the NX hardware the same way he did back before the Wii U launched, and we all know how that turned out...(if you don't know how that turned out: we got a console with hardware more similar to the PS3/360 when the PS4/Xbone were just around the corner).
If it doesn't compete with the Neo/Scorpio in hardware, I don't think it would be a good thing but I don't think it would be a death sentence for the NX either. It would likely be more beneficial to them if it was 'in the same court' as them though.
If it doesn't even compete with the base model PS4 and Xbone though...
It's just speculation though. I would rather the NX be awesome but with Nintendo's track record and Reggie pretty much word for word saying what he said about the Wii U, I find it hard to be optimistic.

If I remember correctly, Nintendo where downplaying the importance of specs with the Gamecube too, saying that there would be other consoles better suited for rendering graphics, and the GC pretty much blew the PS2 out of the water spec wise.
My guess is that the "NX" will be on par with the current gen.

I actually think the NX will do extremely well if it is a hybrid console and has specs anywhere near the playstation neo. I personally dont think vr will take off and I think the ps neo and project scorpios price point will be too high to attract any of the childrens market and Ilby combining handhelds and home consoles the handheld aspect will give some oomph the home console needs and itll ultimately help nintendo to be efficient and put out higher quality games. Nintendo is not going to screw up again like the wii u. They know the market betrer than we do and the wii u ultimately failed because nintendo tried to apply the same mentality they had making the wii in a time where the niche of casual gaming is already filled. If nintendo manages to make a hybrid console that has decent specs and a competitive price point they're bound to do well. Nintendo clinged too hard on their old ways but they know how to change better than what we're telling them to.

And they could use their supplemental console idea to nab even more of the market.

I dont think reggie really knows what the specs are. I think the japanese execs comments are much reliable since they are ultimately who decides the technicalities of the console. In contrast I heard them say that the NX will be in sync with the times. Im betting that itll at least have specs surpassing gen 8 console. Around 1080 p 60 fps 3 teraflops 100gb something like that.

I'm hoping they make a sequel to The Legendary Starfy that they localize this time. There's a chance it might not happen, so once some lucky sap mods The Legendary Starfy into a sequel (complete with upgraded graphics, mugshots, cutscene models (more cutscene models too), music) of the game, I'm down to it.
Any programmers?
...We're talking about the NX, right?

I think what NX (Aweful name btw) is and what i want it to be are 2 different things. I'm hoping for lotsa big things and i hope i get that.
But in some ways i kinda fell as i have given up on the console market. This is not a reflection of nintendo as it is me.
The 3ds just fits my style better atm, maybe NX will bring What i love about 3ds with what was Fresh about the wii.

I'm honestly hoping it turns out good. I haven't bought a WiiU yet, and I think I'm going to hold out for the NX, because inevitably... All the WiiU's multiplayer games' servers will go down. Like they did with the Mario Kart for the Wii. Really hoping to get Breath of the Wild for it.
Another biggie is that if I just get the NX... Hopefully the controls and everything will go backwards to be able to play WiiU games. That way if things are still up, I'll get to participate!

Bottom line is that Reggie has nothing to do with the development of the console and most likely doesn't even know. Nintendo's infrastructure was completely revamped so I believe the NX will completely fix on the mistakes of the Wii U.
what do you mean?
the wii u is a perfect console without any flaws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really looking forward to the nx tho tbh, and nintendo keeping a lot secret is killing me from the inside
