If you believe the recent leaks, the new attachment of the Japanese company from a stationary device will turn into a hybrid tablet and portable console, which is able to work independently or in conjunction with a home TV.
At first glance, this approach may seem very controversial, but in fact, with a competent positioning, such a solution can become very popular on the market. The company Nintendo - the only one of the "big three" platform-holders (which includes Sony and Microsoft), which is capable of experiments. Imagine: on public transport, you start playing a new part of Super Mario on the NX tablet, come home, the tablet connects to the TV, and you continue playing on the big screen. Without additional synchronization with cloud services and long downloads. Without wires, however, will not do - the tablet console from the big N will come complete with a docking station for connecting to the TV and recharging. In addition, the console itself will be equipped with a pair of removable controllers, which are attached around the edges of the touch screen.
Our colleagues from the site Eurogamer even drew the concept of a future console in disassembled form and with attached controllers
All this looks like the development of the WiiU controller concept. As for the filling of the device, according to the same rumors, the heart of the console will be a mobile processor based on the Tegra chip from Nvidia. The frequency of the chip and the amount of memory remain a mystery, but there is information that for the reproduction of NX games will use cartridges with a volume of 32 gigabytes. Downloading games from the digital store directly to the console memory is likely to be possible, too.
Not yet released The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild was announced for both WiiU and NX. And it is quite possible that the version for the new console will look something like this
If the rumors turn out to be true, then the company will have to abandon backward compatibility between generations, because WiiU runs on a completely different architecture that can hardly be emulated using Tegra.
As you know, Nintendo always made a choice in favor of innovative products and game concepts, and not in favor of iron. Given that the Japanese company has a large number of exclusive game series, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon and other less well-known in our country game series, there will be no shortage of exclusives from the company. But will publishers want to produce multiplatform projects on a hybrid tablet and console? But it is the interest of publishers and their projects that attract ordinary players. In our time, exclusives are not the main argument for buying a console, but only a pleasant addition, so without the support of third-party studios NX will be doomed to failure.
In any case, do not prematurely predict a Nintendo miss. Written above - this is just a rumor, especially since a couple of days ago, the head of UbiSoft, Yves Guilmo, said that he had already seen the Nintendo NX and was left with it in full ecstasy. Therefore, it is worth waiting for the official announcement of technical characteristics and only then to draw conclusions. And the wait is not long: the release of the Nintendo NX is scheduled for March 2017.
