One minute... get ready...

Welcome everyone to Everything Nintendo! Today is the first day where we are going to talk about the upcoming Nintendo console, known only by it's codename "Nintendo NX". In a previous announcement, I revealed that I was going to show a picture of what the controller (or possibly the entire console, itself!) looked like. Just give me a minute, and I'll post the picture and the link to where I got it.

Here's the picture:

And here's the link:

So, what do you think? Leave your opinions on it here! This conversation will continue for 2 more hours, so tell us all about it!

Kevin van der Velden

... I have to reply to this

Note the first: A random wordpress site that noone on the internet knows about?

The post linked was posted on august 18th

@KevinvanderVelden That's what makes it so strange. It looks like an actual unit, but I wonder if it really is a Nintendo prototype...?

@KevinvanderVelden Thanks for changing your mind, BTW.

Kevin van der Velden

The first image is an old image of a supposed mockup of the 3DS, the original, the second is non relevant. The third is literally modified in paint

BorWal

;-)

Kevin van der Velden

And the fourth has a bloody cartridge sticking out

NBN-Alex

Yo

Kevin van der Velden

Are you kidding me?

That's not going to fly

Kevin van der Velden

@BorWal only because of the patent ridiculousness of you making a big deal about this

BorWal

Well, it was a long shot.

Kevin van der Velden

Found what the cartridge thing is from! planetdolan.com/10-worst-video-game-console-knockoffs

StrixVaria

Wait, there's not an actual Nintendo press conference or something?

That's what you made it sound like.

Kevin van der Velden

The nintendo polystation

@StrixVaria yuup

Something to take note from Nintendo's products: Durability

Kevin van der Velden

realgamesct.wordpress.com/2015/08/18/… is his source of "information"

BorWal

Man! I thought it was spectacular! Now after a good look, I realize that the third image is a Wii box!

Kevin van der Velden

> In conclusions, we can all agree that NX will most likely sell with flying clors, and you must attack anyone who says otherwise.

Kevin van der Velden

I've been TRICKED!

StrixVaria

This must be satire.

The first picture looks like a phone in a case with a crappy controller attachment.

Kevin van der Velden

I can't post 3 dots as 3 messages, just imagine that's what I did

BorWal

I'm laughing as I post this. :-P

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria that's from this post: purenintendo.com/rumor-real-3ds-or-mock-up

NBN-Alex

@BorWal It's ok, it was a tricky trickster's

Kevin van der Velden

Dec 10, 2015 16:17

@NBN-Alex ... no

There was nothing tricky about this

StrixVaria

I feel like I should just freeze this room and leave it this way forever as a warning.

Kevin van der Velden

> In conclusions, we can all agree that NX will most likely sell with flying clors, and you must attack anyone who says otherwise. Until next time,

BorWal

@KevinvanderVelden Good find!

NBN-Alex

@KevinvanderVelden (Shhh! I'm trying to make him feel better! D:)

BorWal

CLORS?

Kevin van der Velden

Dec 10, 2015 16:19

@BorWal right click on image -> "search google for image"

@BorWal spelling unchanged from the quote

This is from your webpage, are you kidding me?

BorWal

@StrixVaria I'll be more careful, next time.

However, looking at your link of the 3DS "mock-up" is curious. It's hard to tell if it is an actual product by Nintendo.

NBN-Alex

doubt it

Mainly because they've always built for durability first.

BorWal

So.... What is it?

A tablet design?

Kevin van der Velden

@BorWal this, by the way, is just an early wii u devkit nintendoenthusiast.com/wii-u/…

BorWal

Yeah, I saw that. I also mistakenly thought it was the NX. My bad.

NBN-Alex

Dec 10, 2015 16:24

@KevinvanderVelden That's actually very surprsing, compared to the current WiiU, it's easy to see that the same form gets improved on (controller wise)

Kevin van der Velden

@NBN-Alex naah, early devkits are always giant

NBN-Alex

instead of sending something out that's not going to look like the final product

BorWal

@ardaozkal @GodEmperorDune Hello!

Kevin van der Velden

@NBN-Alex if you do that then there won't be any games made for the final product =p

ardaozkal

@BorWal aand I'm going out. The device is fake. It is a samsung tablet on a GBA.

NBN-Alex

Dec 10, 2015 16:26

@KevinvanderVelden For the console base, yes, those tend to be PCs with a mockup of the hardware - I've ment the controller is closer to what the end product will be

Kevin van der Velden

Heck, I've developed for the Nintendo DS, that was a giant box with a nearly empty shell attached via a too-short cable

BorWal

@ardaozkal LOL

Kevin van der Velden

@NBN-Alex looks to me like the controller is pretty close, buttons placed a bit differently but that's about it

BorWal

So, it is a mock-up. Hack. Mod. Whatever.

Kevin van der Velden

@BorWal what? The wii u devkit? No that's nothing more or less than an image of a wii u devkit

BorWal

Dec 10, 2015 16:30

Searched on one of the sites you all left a link to. Check out these pictures: purenintendo.com/nintendo-nx-rumor-round-up

Kevin van der Velden

So, no information at all yet

BorWal

Just sketches.

Kevin van der Velden

Patents that mean nothing

BorWal

According to a rumor that is all over the web, the unit will be a handheld/console combination - meaning a hybrid. If those sketches are actual Nintendo sketches, they seem to confirm that rumor.

I'll keep digging up more NX material to debunk.

Kevin van der Velden

They are actual nintendo things, as they are from patent applications

That however does not mean a damn thing other than someone having the idea and they paying a few hundred dollars to file a patent just in case

BorWal

Dec 10, 2015 16:35

@KevinvanderVelden Well, yeah. That's true.

This is what is known:

Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo#Nintendo_NX

Sorry, didn't mean to post the entire article! :-P

Kevin van der Velden

At least a reputable source, even if it's still just rumours. But they're pretty empty rumours

Ah well, I'm leaving, o/

BorWal

Check this out! TechRadar has an article about the upcoming Mario game. Mario and the worlds he resides in will be rendered in Unreal 4, and the game will be released on the NX. Take a look at the article here! - techradar.com/us/news/gaming/…

At least, that's what I gather. None of this has been conclusive, but it's an idea that could be worked on.

Kevin van der Velden

> This is what the next Super Mario should look like on Nintendo NX

> But what if the development team behind Gears of War took a shot at recreating Mushroom Kingdom's veteran good guy for the big N's next system, the Nintendo NX? What if it got a facelift using one of the most dynamic design tools available to developers? And, stay with me here, what if it was set in some of the creepiest pre-defined environments to ever grace video games?

Did you even read it? This is not an article about "the upcoming Mario game"

Sterno

Where am I? What's happening?

BorWal

Well, what's it from?

Leaks galore! Nintendo Life produced this video: nintendolife.com/news/2015/10/…

@Sterno Oh, welcome! You're in a chat about Nintendo's upcoming console, codenamed "NX".

So far, I've produced two articles that doesn't show what the NX looks like. One was entirely fake, and the other was about a Super Mario 64 clone developed by Epic Games on the Unreal 4 engine.

Got any evidence? We're here for a peek at the NX. If you think you might have a picture, post it here, and we'll talk about it!

To anyone, in general.

BorWal has left the building, and the talk is still going! I'm gonna take a break, but this chat is not over yet! Continue to talk about the NX - I'll be back soon to see what you posted!
