Nintendo NX

Nintendo are making an announcement at 3pm.

Not really my thing but am interested as my little 7 year old bot loves Nintendo and much prefers the games on there compared to the PS4.

No doubt I will be buying him one so am quite curious as to what the console will be like.

IF they get the pricing right on this (£229 launch and £199 by the summer) this could be awesome.

4k streaming rumoured and apparently game developers well on side this time around (unlike the last one) - Zelda + Mario in their locker this looks great.

Love the inter shareable controller as well which means you can share the play on one unit rather than having to have two to play.

Fingers crossed the specs and techs are as good as the marketing on the video.

Doesn't seem that groundbreaking to me... Like a portable Wii U. Will have to wait and see what the price and other specs are like.

[Zoon]

Does look good.

[welshjon81]

If they get the right backing from game developers and get some AAA titles released on it, then it could be a winner.

I just can't imagine it being very powerful though seen as how its so small and portable. I could be wrong though and hope I am.

Ok, so I just re-watched the clip as I had a bit more time. At 1:25 I'm pretty sure I saw the dude playing Skyrim. That's clinched it for me... Umm, I mean my little boy!

[KingNothing]

Pretty sure it was Skyrim, if it's the remastered version, think the console could be quite powerful for a Nintendo.

[Altrezia]

Will be buying (because we buy all of the things).

Does look good though. And that zelda.. gawwwp.

Definitely going to pre order this, nothing on amazon though only game and you have to go into store.

I mean i want one, but walk, into store, are we no better than animals!

Looks like what the Wii U should have been. Seems they've given up on motion controls at last?

Another load of crap aimed at the casual market and kiddie stuff. Nintendo just don't have what it takes to compete for the attention of serious gamers and arguably they haven't since the N64 and they lost that fight too.

Although im not really interested in the Nintendo for for myself (ill keep my PS4) it looks like a winner for my 7 year old next Christmas. He has a 3DS which he likes and I much prefer the games from Nintendo for his age. The portable tablet is a great idea.

Ill also be able to play Mario Kart

Nintendo probably realise they cant compete with Playstation and XBOX so that's why they seem to market for the casual gamers and kids. They also do a pretty good job at it too with a lot of their games.

But you can play Skyrim on the toilet. ON THE TOILET!!!

[Evolved]

Hmmm not sure, they can't have packed serious processing power into such a small form factor with the current levels of tech surely?

All they have to do it make it play Pokemon and it'll fly. Pity that's not on the launch doc!
