Insider here. I thought I'd give you an in depth idea of what's going on with NX.
As you know, Kimishima was not Iwata's chosen pick for President. At the moment, he is merely acting president for the year as the board trains the actual successor for the position. Nintendo believes that introducing the new, younger, long term president immediately before the reveal of the NX will excite fans for the possibilities in the future.
Keep in mind this person does have a history of actually developing games. His responsibilities right now include overseeing all of Nintendo's big projects. He will assume actual control of the company before the NX launches.
>How will NX compete with PS4 and Xbox One?
It simply won't be possible for them to compete with us.
They wouldnt dare bring in anyone from outside the company.
Leo Anderson
Its Audrey Drake.
Liam Fisher
Koizumi is a good guess, but has he ever appeared in public?
Oliver Phillips
kojima
Gavin Ward
>It simply won't be possible for them to compete with us
So will the NX somehow out perform the ps4 pro and xbox scorpio? Or are you implying Nintendo can somehow persuade the hardcore gamers to adopt the NX despite probably being a psuedo-mobile? I hope you are right but I know in my heart of hearts you are dead wrong.
James Ward
Hold up OP. I thought that originally he was acting president, but the board eventually settled on him long term?
Nicholas Reed
me
Anthony Hughes
>it simply won't be possible for them to compete with us. kek surpass the pro still is believable but surpass the scorpio lol nope
Hunter Jackson
>It simply won't be possible for them to compete with us.
what did he mean by this?
Christopher Campbell
>It simply won't be possible for them to compete with us. that the nx will use a titan x
Lincoln Lee
Is Emily Rogers full of shit?
Landon Gomez
its not about the hardcore. people really need to understand this. there is a far larger pool of people out there to target. Thats why it isnt about graphics or harware specs.
Jeremiah Hughes
he was temporary at first iirc but then did finally settle on him being the president until i guess he felt there's someone better?
Ethan Smith
>there is a far larger pool of people out there to target nintendo lose those people they are on mobile shit now
Luis Taylor
WE ARE NINTENDO. YOU CANNOT BEAT US
Ryan Turner
>At the moment, he is merely acting president for the year Proven false.
Daniel Torres
So it's more/as powerful as my mobile phone. That's a massive improvement over the wii u.
Mason Morgan
That's why the NX is a mobile, dummy.
Aaron Barnes
There is only choice
Jose White
>history of actually developing games
I do prefer him a million time than the pizzaman we got here.
Camden Anderson
I unironically hope it is shibata
Jace Wood
Shinbo
Ryder Jackson
>won't be possible for them to compete with us
I agree. Because NIntendo will be 3rd party within months
Jose Long
What the fuck is gonna happen to the 3DS?
I've been holding on buying it for too long, Pokemon is coming so I doubt they will drop support soon.
Ryan Rodriguez
What would Cred Forums do if it was revealed to be Sakurai?
Caleb Reyes
Koizumi
Josiah Barnes
that's why they want to TARGET THEM.
Benjamin Lopez
Can you prove your identity in any shape or form so that we can all move on?
Juan Sanchez
>What the fuck is gonna happen to the 3DS? They'll continue supporting it until it stops making them money, like all their other systems.
Alexander Fisher
Koizumi it is. You guys might not this guy, but trust me, he is the person people think miyamoto is.
Brody Jenkins
Continue for another year, I guess? They just announced a new pokemon and first party support in to mid 2017, likely with more announcements to come. The nx is entirely a WiiU successor, clearly
Adam Morales
Leaks for crying out loud. Announce the damn thing already.
Carter Wright
You are on an anonymous turkey basting board faggot.
Jonathan Rogers
You do know 99% of the gamers don't actually know shit about presidents of companies and stuff like that right?
Levi Garcia
Can you confirm if previous handheld with detable controller """leak""" is close to the actual thing?
Jaxon Barnes
prove it
Asher Diaz
The NX is not 1 device. It's more than one, HC and HH.
Levi Ortiz
You wanna git banned junior?
Landon Ward
gee I wonder who's behind those threads.
Christian Kelly
doubt that nintendo can have these people back
Anthony Bennett
Do people genuinely despise nintendo because they make colorful childrens games? They don't want others to be able to enjoy that?
Levi Peterson
yes everything must be overdesigned and generic, no color or fun allowed
Thomas Harris
Lots of current "gamers" were kids with a wii, and they are now hating nintendo to sound "grow up".
Adam Mitchell
No but we thing they are wasting their time putting those games on a system children don't play on.
Connor Anderson
Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask has the ideal art style.
Ayden Flores
Hi TheDude!
Jackson Hall
Insider here, this is all wrong. You'll hear more in about 6 months
Christopher Flores
Yikes, i guess you're right. Time flies.
Aaron King
I have no problems with the games they make, I despise their corporate side and the horrendous, anti-consumer decisions they make.
Charles Smith
>Anti consumer
You best be talking about region lock and nothing else.
Noah Diaz
Please....for the love of all that is sacred....
Will there be Wii U pro controller support?
Jack Russell
Yeah, that's kind of par for the course. The other megaloconglomerates deserve your hatelasers far more though.
Henry Ward
> doesnt mention its able to come close because its built on vulkan > doesnt mention lower resolution and dpi than vita
Some insider
Jordan Lee
>censorship >region-lock
fix these, and I'll buy your system Nintendo, plain and simple
Jacob Sanchez
Youtube policies too, as well as them not allowing Twitch on their consoles because they don't consider that "fun."
James Russell
>youtube policies as well
Kill yourself you underage youtube scum
Cooper Hernandez
Which executive gives preferential treatment to waluigi? I want that one.
John Harris
OP, will it be one release and that's it, like their home consoles or are they planning gradually releasing upgrades like their handhelds (3ds -> 3dsxl -> n3ds)?
Matthew Johnson
>not Hideo
Jaxon Carter
Holy shit that is funny
Joseph Hill
region-lock is likely gone but censorship probably will stay
Ian Powell
OP is fake.
Ryan Thompson
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Josiah Sullivan
He never posted any new info, and just reposted what the public already knew as 'insider info', that's a guy obviously making up what might go on the inside if what we know is true.
Ryder Hill
I would fucking love Koizumi as President, seeing as he's the one that made the Nintendo games interesting.
Brody Smith
kimishima was only temporary for like 2 months, he's officially the president for a while now
Joseph Diaz
Sakurai
Chase Stewart
So, nintendo has already kinda started their logo and image change in their recent color splash commercial.
Will they keep this up for NX?
Austin Peterson
I dunno View it as a soft confirmation that the NX will feature the same ABXY button format
Gabriel Perry
It, along with Wii U, will continue to be supported until NX has a sizable install base.
We anticipate it will continue getting titles for the next three years.
I would not describe the different forms of NX as 'upgrades.'
All will play the same games, but each will have a variety of adjustments to appeal to different niches.
Andrew Turner
Will those upgrades be sold over time or released simultaneously? I'm tired of waiting for the better form or having wasted my money like when the n3ds made the o3ds's 3d look like shit.
And most importantly when are we getting the nx information?
Nicholas Foster
To say that the Wii U "will continue to be supported" implies that it is currently being supported.
Isaiah Reed
It's gonna be sakurai
Bentley Lopez
Simultaneously. Again, the different forms of NX have NOTHING to do with power, but merely exist to reach the largest number of people possible.
The detachable controller leak was true. However, what does it attach TO?
About the reveal date... we simply don't know. NOA knows a lot less about the company than you think we do. The higher ups REALLY don't want people leaking information. Generally speaking, we are given a week to prepare for Direct and that's it.
I would say it will be revealed some time after Sun and Moon launches.
It is.
Brayden Phillips
They're already making mobile games faggot, and it's boosted their hardware sales
Julian Green
Don't let Treehouse touch your shit, simple as that
James Hall
>> doesnt mention lower resolution and dpi than vita i refuse to believe that
Dominic Miller
too bad kimishima already stated he is here to stay LOL try again
Asher Hughes
If OP told the truth though, it couldn't be. Shiba never made games himself.
Hudson Jones
Sakurai has the experience, but not the desire.
It'd be painful to see him as president.
He'd be a sad, hollowed out husk after Iwata's death if he didn't even get to make games himself anymore.
Tyler Hall
Reposting my NX mockup in more colorways since no one hated it last night.
To explain the button layout again, the idea is that the face buttons and d-pad are physically identical, but each button has an LED behind it that's color coded contextually (based on orientation and whether the controllers are plugged into the screen). The face buttons have multicolored lights, the d-pad has all white lights, and the top set of buttons shuts off/deactivates in "phone" mode.
William Ross
Insider here. You're gay.
Brody Torres
Naturally he would say that. Even if he wasn't.
No investor would like to have the word out that a company president is temporary by design.
Justin Diaz
Is this loss?
Parker Fisher
The "detachable" controller parts are such a stupid and needlessly complicated idea. I wonder why every goddamn mockup has them.
Hudson Morris
Outsider here. My buddy just died while telling me to remain golden.
Jack Watson
this. But then again, I do hope they release the NX with a bullshit gimmick like that. Can't wait for Nintendo to go through the Sega route and let me play Smash Bros on Steam in 6-7 years.
Dylan Gutierrez
Literally the only reason is the stupid Eurogamer rumor that everyone seems to believe blindly for some reason.
Kevin Price
lol, you didnt even try.
Zachary Evans
I'm finding myself less and less opposed to a design of this nature.
I dig the idea of having three-player asymmetric gamplay available right out of the box.
Kevin Carter
yeah, look at all the asymmetric multiplayer games which are widely played and beloved.
Alexander Richardson
This is satire right?
Cooper Jackson
>implying he's not shitposting like that because he knows that autist will get mad at him do you even complex baiting? are you doing it right now, right?
Ethan Phillips
>popularity is the standard measuring unit for quality
No, user.
Personally, I still enjoy Nintendo Land very much, and I'd like to see games take the concept much further.
Jason Martinez
Did you mean to reply to ?
Joshua Long
No.
Camden Thomas
Oh.
Cameron Reyes
considering the last bit, i'm afraid not
Isaiah Lopez
Also let's say for shits and giggles that it has the same screen size as an iPhone 6 plus
Jack James
Fake as fuck but nice idea OP. At least you're trying something different.
James Myers
No, I'm pretty sure user was saying he hopes Nintendo folds as a console dev and puts their games across multiple platforms, including pc/steam.
Thinking of it, I want that too. What are you having a hard time comprehending?
Meanwhile Nvidia says, >We don't give a fuck about vidya, we only provide chips for AI self driving cars
While AMD says, >"We made the Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Xbox360, PS4, PS4 Pro, Project Scorpio, and a secret *hint hint* on announced gaming console we will give info on later"
The entire gaming audience: >Clearly it's 100% confirmed that NX is "handheld, weak, detachable, nvidia"
Jack Cook
You're a fucking idiot. Kimishima is Nintendo's President. He has the entire company in his control and no one is even thinking about trying to usurp him. He is Yamauchi's true successor.
David White
I just hoped he was pretending to be retarded. I was wrong.
Levi Powell
I think a 5" screen is more than enough.
Sebastian Peterson
>Kimishima was not Iwata's chosen pick for president
Looks like it's time for a dynastic succession war.
Gavin Myers
Are you autistic?
Adrian Jenkins
Hm.
Seems unnecessary to keep both (or any) of the detachable parts on for smart-phone mode.
Sebastian Taylor
I'm ready for this reveal so retards can stop posting their "leaks" to fulfill their fantasy that they're someone important even for just 5 minutes. This shit is just like before Smash 4 came out and every day multiple threads about who's on the roster because they claim to be an insider.
Gavin Cooper
the best part is that probably we already saw the leak, just like when they leaked the real smash roster and nobody believed that the duck hunt dog or dr mario were in
Brandon Campbell
Yep. You said this back in 05 with the Wii. Look where that got you.
Nathan Jackson
>trains the actual successor for the position
you've watched too many anime
Nicholas Moore
>27 years in international business development at Sanwa Bank
He's probably a lot like Yamauchi, but old Hiroshi seemed adamant about Nintendo needing a guy like Iwata in charge.
Blake Butler
How is Breath of the Wild going to run on a sole smart phone?
Brayden Watson
It got 100 million systems sold?
Nathaniel Perez
>unnecessary to keep both
UNLESS
Bentley Robinson
If you are willing to play for 1 hour periods and burned hands.
Carson Rivera
The 3DS is in life support and Nvidia as the better solution for mobile gaming.
William Ramirez
HH will use The Tegra X2 and the HC will use a AMD APU they will share OS and library via HSA
Brandon Diaz
>Trusting nvidia for anything.
If anything, Nintendo will get burned if they make something nvidia. Microsoft got fucked by nvidia on Xboxhueg.
Christian Sanders
I thought we regularly ridiculed the Wii U for only being as powerful as a smart phone?
In any case, the NX would have gaming oriented hardware and games would be highly optimized for that one device, which is a situation very very different from a smart phone.
David Morgan
Now i remember Nvidia also lied about the X1 specs to Nintendo
Xavier Gomez
The new president will be Kojima.
Easton Sanchez
>life support
>highest install base for a current gaming dedicated system.
>second best selling gaming dedicated system
>takes up eight out of the top twenty software spots in Japan
If that's being in life support, god help the rest.
Cooper Long
>HH will use The Tegra X2
ahahaha
No silly, the Handheld will be made by DMP, the same company that made the 3DS, 3DSXL, New 3DS and 3DS XL. Tegra X2 is for AI cars, if they put that on a mobile device, it will burn through your skin.
Landon Barnes
>Koizumi announced as the new President >Dawn of A New Day >shows off BotW's plot and NPC interaction >that's why he wasn't able to take over as President sooner
Joshua Perez
That'd be so incredibly out of left field that the world would catch on fire.
In any case, I'd prefer Kamiya, if it had to come to bringing in an outsider.
Ryan Price
AMD used to have ARM project maybe Nintendo will use it
Ayden Brown
I anticipate NX to be entirely ARM based, whether it's one or several devices.
Oliver Watson
Nintendo's already having trouble with both style and substance, don't need Kamiya making the "MARIO'S ON DRUGS" joke a reality.
Isaac Morgan
The reason Nintendo has chosen DMP is very clear, Money.
DMP is located in japan, literally Nintendo's next door neighbor, so they don't have to pay any import costs to manufacture and can lower the selling price. If they chose AMD/Nvdia for the HH, it's gonna be more expensive than a Vita.
HC is different because Nvidia and AMD have no other competitor that comes close. AMD/ATI have designed every single Nintendo console since the N64, All Xbox console and all Sony consoles except PS3 (Nvidia, which was why it was $600)
Cameron Allen
AMD has a feature called Heterogeneous Computing which allows both x86 and ARM to work on the same system, what Iwata referred to as "a family of systems", since mobile is ARM while all 3rd party devs use x86.
Cooper Peterson
Iwata also said something about making wiiu to 3ds ports easier.
Maybe they are going keep consoles under same hat like sony does with ps4/vita.
Kayden Rodriguez
I think Nintendo know and we all know, both Handheld and Home Console gaming are no where near what they used to sell even as early as last gen.
Nintendo's main draw for NX is you have one game card but you can pop it in either HH or HC to get the same game with different resolutions. Currently they have to literally make a 3ds game from scratch and a wii u game from scratch no matter how simple of a game it it is.
Ryan Myers
I hope we get a nice diversity of color choices like this.
We haven't seen anything of the sort since the 90s.
Cooper Bennett
Because literally everyone just buys black.
Matthew Rivera
>not maining silver surfer
Eli James
>Nsider
Wyatt Jackson
>circle pads
Jaxon Powell
Hey who here used to go on the Nsider forums back when it use to exist on Nintendo's site?
Isaac Howard
okay
James Jones
>jap company changing heads for PR purposes hahaha, funny joke OP.
>It simply won't be possible for them to compete with us. hahahahahahaha Do you even 'blue ocean'? Nintendo isn't even in the race.
Isaiah Cook
I bought a blue N64 back in the day. Shit was cool.
Xavier Edwards
>Do you even 'blue ocean'? Nintendo isn't even in the race. that is what op means
Noah Barnes
someone should update this with the new 3DS colors
Xavier Morris
Lmao, he is a gaijin no matter how much of a weeb he is. If OP isn't a faggot then I would guess Hackurai would be the most fitting.
Benjamin Hughes
>jap company changing heads for PR purposes didn't Sony do this
Adrian Anderson
My uncle.
Wyatt Barnes
Do you know my friend's dad?
Zachary Reyes
There are actually 2 versions of the red 3ds, one has the gradient and is darker, the other is just a solud orangey-red.
Joshua Lopez
100 million sold then nothing. Smartphones took the casual market, the only way Nintendo's hardware business can survive is if they make hardcore games that people want.
Going the casual route doesn't work anymore unless you go mobile.
Angel Ortiz
And the most lackluster catalogue of a Nintendo console since the N64 with just a few gems.
Damon my Wii was just a Xenoblade machine until I discovered emulation for it.
Cooper Anderson
What if Nintendo's NX is just a smartphone?
The console is like an Ouya.
Gavin Young
>NX Happening Stop this shit faggot
Chase Sullivan
>What if Nintendo's NX is just a smartphone? >The console is like an Ouya. it will flop like the Ouya
Mason Gomez
I remember Nintendo had an online test back then, to see what color system would fit you.
I came through as a "Grape Gamer" and I was recommended games like Ogre Battle and Harvest Moon.
Scary accurate on all counts.
Dylan Wright
>Damon
I own like 60 physical copies of games for the Wii.
I don't consider it the worst library.
Nathaniel Bell
Who but neckbears even know who the pres of Nintendo is?
Nintendo: We want the neckbear audience
Wyatt Martin
>neckbear
Daniel Torres
It's alllllllready dead, bro
Isaiah Davis
its the same guy who always redact the same way it very easy to spot
the last time he was responsible of hideo partnership with deltaco
Charles Lee
rumored to be supported till 2018
Gavin Brown
That picture is outdated as fuck and probably from early 2013 since it has FE13 and MH3U designs but no Pokemon X/Y or Zelda ALBW from later that year.
Daniel Long
just buy a 2ds for $79 to play pokemon
Leo Stewart
It's been the go to for neckbeard for awhile now
Cooper Jackson
No, it is not.
Benjamin White
>Meanwhile Nvidia says, >>We don't give a fuck about vidya, we only provide chips for AI self driving cars Source?
From one old businessman to another
Logan Diaz
nintendo is only for fuzzy little neckbears.
James Cook
I wish nintendo would make more cool see-through stuff. I would think in this day and age they could make them with some really nice colours while still maintaining a "modern" design.
Landon King
I want that too. If the hardware is modular, thats highly likely
Nicholas Moore
They're getting some random young Japanese indie dev who made a beatmania rip offs, some joke RPGs he shared with his friends and jerks off to the manga found in the adults section and tweets angrily about being kicked out.
Jeremiah Wright
man putting a bunch of cool see through hardware together and mixing and matching them sounds rad. I miss the radical 90's nintendo, fuck this gay ass glossy bullshit.
Josiah Roberts
There are tablets out there more powerful than the Wii U. I don't know how well they do in terms of battery though, or how hot they get.
My assumption would be the cross handheld and home console thing, with handheld mode having lower graphical settings and texture quality, but plugging into a base will play the games in higher settings.
Luis Watson
Thats the wii and da era, thankfully weve already seen proof that era is at an end
Kevin Wilson
the Iphone 7 is more powerful than the WiiU
Gabriel Morales
>And the most lackluster catalogue of a Nintendo console lolno
Just because you dismissed everything and never played the games on the platform doesn't magically make them not exist. It had the most exclusives out of the 7th gen consoles and I'd argue it had the best as well.
William Richardson
Im no phone expert but i doubt the iphone could run xenoblade x or mk8
Daniel Jackson
They have no reason NOT to.
With Sun and Moon coming out, people will be actively using the system for AT LEAST the entirety of 2017.
Gavin Gutierrez
If not, then probably for the reason that the screen has too high a resolution for it to run properly.
But it the game was coded ground up for the iPhone 7 and it was allowed to output in 720p, it should be able to handle it.
Matthew Hughes
To that end, ARM solutions really would make a lot of sense.
Asher Kelly
>It simply won't be possible for them to compete with us. Thay'd have to dumb down their own products to compete with the "NX". Got it.
James Brooks
It's Tanabe.
Eli Fisher
wont be sakurai, he got burnt out on smash, I cant see him agreeing to running a gigantic company like nintendo, it would incapacitate him
he has lots of exp though at designing/managing and common sense when it comes to knowing what gamers want
I hope not, because I want him making games rather than overseeing nintendo however he would be a good fit
Dylan James
after sun and moon in late nov?
nx reveal in december with a release 3 months later?
that's way too close, I don't think so...
Jace Russell
too young
David Ortiz
No region-lock means censorship can be ignored. You just buy the japanese one.
Jace Torres
>but censorship probably will stay Something is wrong with the entire American localization industry. If only they could all just leave the industry.
>le let's localize Criminal Girls! >But let's censor fucking everything for muh power distance and motivation! Why even bother? I wonder how much it sold. That censored crap no longer has a purpose. Makes me wonder if they wanted to fail on purpose.
Charles Rivera
>No region-lock means censorship can be ignored. You just buy the japanese one. You can ignore but NoA and NoE will continue to censor games
Jayden Johnson
Sakurai
Jose Hill
If you dont know japanese how is that going to help you idiot
Christian Campbell
Only dipshits or full neets that would never translate anything learn japanese. I dont know why this happens, it just does. Its no wonder all localizers are SJW retards.
Gavin Collins
Learn japanese, it's easy.
Easier than killing off the localization team and replacing it.
Wyatt Harris
>. At the moment, he is merely acting president for the year
Thats literally wrong, he said he is the president not for a year but for as long as the board lets him, so likely 20 years or until he dies.
