So the rumors that it looks as 'slick' as Android's OS is true. You know what that is a good thing, one of the most annoying aspects of console OS's is how FUCKING SHIT they are. Really, I disliked Xbox 360/PS3's laggy interface. Its not that noticeable when you own them and its all you know, but when you come from a smart phone and/or fast computer, going to console is freaaaaaaaaaking slow. Why even have a Nintendo 3DS YouTube app if its garbage?

So if they can fix that aspect by going 'mobile like', whatever. But if the games are basically mobile games on a Nintendo device. Eat shit, not for me.

Its bad enough I feel like hardcore games are starting to go down that 'pay for our game then pay for content' path. The worse being the gambling shit in Overwatch. Fun game, but sleazy as shit transactions. Nintendo is getting a test of DLC money and I think they will go all in soon. Amiibos, seeing Pokemon GO's revenue and shit, too much for the big N to say no.

I for one am glad its a handheld. Its where they shine the most in what they offer at least.

Even with the WII U it is noticable that nintendo is very low on the HUGE scale projects like lets say mario kart 8, xeno X and the upcoming zelda.

I think these big projects is what sells a console, which they seem to be doing very little of compared to the other 2

So having them on a handheld platform which thrive of off the smaller experiences is better than the other way around which was the case on wii u.

But then again we're still not 100% sure if its going to have hookup to tv capabilities. Hmm

Hooking an android to a TV is already possible, so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

But Android is shit, how is this a good thing.

Also, the original Xbox 360 blades is BY FAR the best console UI of all time. They fucked up everything with the NXE.

Seeing as it's android, surely security could be an issue for the NX too?

It's using the tegra processor which is already documented and being android allows freedom in how you program for it.

They never said it was Android just that it was slick like Android. As in responsive. I dunno if its shit, but I click on things and it pops up fast. Way faster than any OS on consoles or gaming handhelds. So I would consider this a good thing.

I'm not arguing about if a phone OS is better than another because frankly I don't care enough for it. I prefer Android.

But the OS is mean't to be build by Nintendo but 'influenced' by Android and iOS (which frankly look a lot alike).

If it is android, it's probably a very closed off version of it. I've build stuff for other platforms, but not android yet. I hear it's a right pain because of all the differences from device to device.

Well i'm bumping this thread since the NX is going to be 'revealed'(or not) in 5 hours or so. I guess we'll finally see if the pessemism was grounded or could be put to rest. Either way, new gaming hardware is always a nice thing to see so here we go! How are expectations lol.

Tad · « **Reply #129 on:** October 20, 2016, 07:09:15 am »

My expectations are still quite low as despite the cool idea of the NX, it's Nintendo. They have a habit of burdening their own creativity. The video later today (3pm here in the UK) is apparently 3 minutes long, so unless they're firing straight out of the gate, I'm not too sure what they'll show.

Any predictions?

I'm guessing the following will happen:

They'll talk about the "next step".

Have a trailer that features the following:
Person playing on the NX at home
Goes out to do something and plays the same game on a handheld
Name and a look at the hardware.
End of trailer.
The trailer will also show off a new title for the console similar to Wii Sports/Nintendoland.
Show clips of some upcoming games like Zelda.

I'm tempted to say they might port Splatoon etc across too.

What im wondering is what they're gonna do with 3ds and wii u after this reveal. I think I read somewhere that 3ds was still going to get supported in 2017, which tbh is crazy. WII U is dead I know but its still a pretty nice backup userbase. I dont wanna buy a new nintendo anything so if wii u still got supported with multiplat games similar to ZELDA U/NX i'd still be one of their consumers at least

I was more exited with Gizmondo than with this.

Only 17 minutes to go!

Tad · « **Reply #133 on:** October 20, 2016, 08:52:45 am »

7 minutes!
