"As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business", Iwata adds, "let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand new concept under the development codename 'NX'."

And...that's it. Iwata says Nintendo will share more information about the new hardware "next year".

exactly what i was thinking lads that a nintendo handheld powerful enough to run games from 3g or 4g or wifi signal via the wii u... no way will they cull the wii u yet it would be madness to do that.

Now that would be awesome! But it would want to be some marvel in technology to squeeze a wii u into a 3ds sized thing.

PS4 can do remote play with the Vita, it's nothing new, you just need decent broadband and wifi for it to work. Same as the WiiU controller acting as a TV for the console but expanded upon.

NX = Nintendo Ten or NinTENdo?

The NX will be a Nokia 3360 phone available in Red w/ white trim or Green w/ white trim. When asked they'll talk about how they're not in direct competition with Sony or Microsoft. The phone will be about €68, so cheaper than it's Android and Windows competitors, and fairly uninspiring hardware-wise, but it's core functionality of taking and making phone calls will be excellent and it will have the greatest version of Snake you've ever played available for download for only €12.99.

I'm tellin' ya', I've a feeling the NX will have some Android functionality. Maybe it could be a user-mode though, an offshoot of the main OS, and it can tie directly into their mobile gaming options.

I know!

Ahem....

The Nintendo Retron 6!

Regardless of the home console world, and Nintendo's recent sales problems with the WiiU, they have no such issue with the handheld market, so I wouldn't expect them to be going full Android/iOS anytime soon.

Not if it fails miserably and becomes the last home console they ever release and instead they focus on there new mobile market.

It's a good thing because everything you said is a complete unknown.

Now I don't know whether to get this or a PS 4 in four months. I really want to play Street Fighter V and Mortal Kombat X so I am worried Nintendo won't have third party support again.

There's no way the NX will hit shelves in four months, so you'd be safe enough to go with the PS4/XBO for the foreseeable future. The NX is quite a way off yet I'd imagine, & with 3rd party support for Nintendo being in a volatile state, I'd not bet that the NX will hit the ground running, early on.

I'm hoping for a massive crossover game that emphasises the ultra-flexible nature of their combined console / portable handheld platform - Bayonetta 3 where in a shock twist the last Lumen Sage strips her of her hair - and therefore both her powers and her clothes - and swaps her nipples for Mario and Luigi's heads. It'd be like Bowser's Inside Story but even more violent and explicit.

Stay where you are Banjo.
Some colleagues of mine will be with you shortly to help you settle, in a lovely room with rubber wallpaper.

I get that. But I'm getting this too, whatever the hell it is.

Yeah the wii u still feels almost new in my sitting room for some reason even though I have it since release.
I personally don't think they will succeed with a new console although if love to be proven wrong.

They should announce Splatoon 2, before Splatoon is released, just because they are Nintendo and can do wtf they want!

The thoughts of new Nintendo tech just makes me happy.
And it also means that the new format will get its own iterations of the big N's IP!
So that's new Zelda, Mario World, Pikmin and, while I'm dreaming, Bayonetta 3!

Star Lord

How many publications are going to call this the NeXt until the full details and name are announced?

Dear gods you take that back.
I have an ngage, it's an awful awful machine!
I'd say it'll be a PS4.5 in WiiU's clothing, but substituting the tablet controller for an evolved 3DS with HD screens.
Or something

I have a strong felling that we might even see the new console at E3 as why else would they tell us so early that there is a new console ?.

Yea, not to be pedantic but they weren't telling us, they were telling investors. There's a very important difference there, especially when you're dealing with a company in Nintendo's financial position.
