NX devkits are in distribution
http://mynintendonews.com/2015/10/16/nintendo-is-distributing-the-software-kit-for-the-nintendo-nx/

likely becoming a "hybrid system" composed of a handheld unit and a console unit, and are aiming for industry leading hardware following criticisms of the power gap between the wii U and competiting consoles

http://www.nintengen.com/2015/10/nintendo-nx-tech-demo-not-able-to-run.html

it's claimed that the NX devkit tech demo requires cutting edge hardware to run properly on computers

still too early for judgement with a not-final chipset, the wii U (or project cafe as we were calling it) was hyped up to be a beast system pre-announcement only for the final product to end up barely on par with the PS3/X360

We'll only post this once since we are doing this in solitude. We apologize for bad english.

Your Nintendo NX console will be finished as 2 main device. First device comes July 2016 with the name Ovii. Ovii will be a HD dedicated gaming device which surpasses Nintendo 3DS system. Second Device comes in November 2016 called Viio. Viio will come with a controller which looks like Xbox 360 controller but with small touch interface and motion controls.

All Wii U games can be played when Ovii is paired with Viio. Wii U games only available on eShop, no disk backwards compatibles. All eshop titles work when both systems are paired. DS and 3DS games will be playable when both systems are paired.

Super Mario Galaxy 3, Legend of Zelda Sword of Dreams(also for Wii U), Earthbound Forever, Animal Crossing TBA, Smash Bros. Ultra Edition, Luigi's Mansion Fright Night, Mario Kart 8 Ultra Edition

seems cloud gaming might be on the mind

an external supplemental computing device could act as an expansion pak of sorts to the main console, giving the console further capability, even moreso with the remote service units on nintendo's end, communicating with the console via internet

those same units can carry digital software copies and save data on a player's account

I guess that isn't too out of the question, considering the way they have Nintendo Network set up, where both the Wii U and 3DS eShops share currency.

Post by: Yerix on Jan 12 2016, 03:09 AM
a unified wallet between the system's eshops are all they currently have

they slowly are working toward account systems on par with sony and MS, but it seems nintendo could also close the technological gap between their next dedicated game handheld and console enough that they could share most, if not all of each other's software libraries

console-handheld interaction has been a concept they've been playing with since the GB+SNES days, the SGB1 and 2 (the second being a japan-only device that added a link cable port), and i recall iwata or someone else saying something about uniting both their handheld and console hardware devteams a good while back

Nintendo has key partners they are working with that already have Dev Kits (Second & Third party)

The Development Studio he works for is currently working on a graphically demanding PlayStation 4 game that they would like to have the opportunity to port to the NX.

The Studio does not have Dev Kit's themselves yet and have not been informed of the specs, however the graphical performance of the NX is of great interest to them due the their current project.

The Developer and Studio he works for has been informed of the date/time frame they are allowed to start ordering NX dev kits, but they are under a strict NDA not to reveal this time frame until Nintendo has officially revealed the NX to the public.

The Developer did say that Nintendo is screening early Dev Kit access before the public developer date to order, but the process is extremely complex with a lot of paperwork to complete by both sides before having the chance of being approved. Most likely the paperwork has a lot to do with a multifaceted NDA for early access.

When NDA's on the NX are less binding and when his studio gets the NX Dev Kit soon or in the future, he will inform me of more details on what the Dev Kit is like (specs etc) if he is able.

NX is most likely to be released this year at the end of 2016 based on the time-frame he was given (NDA) of when dev kits are planning on being distributed to developers besides the key partners to Nintendo that already have them. However, he said that ultimately as with any company it's up to Nintendo to follow through and release the NX during this time frame.

seems NX's capacity may be in the ballpark of handling high-end PS4 titles and likely beyond

link is more to be meant as a blank slate and is a reincarnation for almost every new zelda game, so i have no qualms of having a female counterpart
then again he's always been an androgynous fellow, most incarnations going around saving hyrule bare-legged/in tights for their games, hell his "toon" incarnation looks enough like a PPG reject that he almost had laser eyes

the name "linkle" needs to be thrown in the fire or at least stay exclusive to hyrule warriors though

interesting to see isle delfino acknowledged here, but not a hint of yoshi's island nor DK island

i predict isle delfino will be a throwback area, with at least some of its levels integrated into it to suit the game's sandbox nature

Spoiler: show

- this motherfucking realistic lightning dragon is a boss in the ruined kingdom
- there's a painting to peach's castle in luncheon that goes to a floating island where yoshi lives
- yoshi confirmed - he is in an egg on top of the castle
- toadette confirmed -
- peach's castle grounds and the interior castle itself is accessible with many SM64 references in both appearance and some sound effects; power moons even take the shape of power stars
-- even the sun design on the inner castle's floor is present
- there's familiar berries around peach's castle, including one plugging up a warp pipe at the bottom of the moat, implying that you'll be able to ride/capture yoshi there at one point
-- http://i.4cdn.org/v/1508728271449.png
- inside the small towers around peach's castle have paintings of defeated bosses that can be jumped in to re-battle them
- mushroom kingdom has purple star coins as regional coins
- bowser's kingdom is feudal japan themed with bowser insignia koban as the regional coins
- the samurai armor from the super mario run promotional imagery are a wearable, and even grants entry to a costume-locked room containing an 8-bit section behind the bowser's kingdom crazy cap store, which is oddly staffed with new donkers instead of koopas for some strange reason
- luigi unfortunately doesn't appear, a first for mainline mario games in almost 10 years, but his clothes are a wearable
-- any luigi amiibo is able to unlock it
- there's a skeleton suit for 9999 regular coins
- outfits modeled after wario, waluigi, and diddy kong are in as wearables
-- this marks the first time waluigi was referenced in a main mario game
- wearables resembling mario's SM64 model
- a costume locked area in peach's castle is basically a straight port of the SM64 courtyard, accessed with the SM64 wearables
- the ending has started a colossal shitshow in the mario fanbase
- one known postgame kingdom is the dark side of the moon, where a gauntlet of harder broodal bosses can be challenged
- another postgame kingdom is the darker side, which has a "champion's road" type stage
- cubes begin appearing in kingdoms in the postgame which add moons to other kingdoms when activated
- star bits are the moon kingdom regional coin
- so far isle delfino, as well as a champagne bottle-shaped landmass on the in-game planet, seem to have nothing to allow them accessable
- i wish madame broode had a bigger role than a recurring boss, i was expecting her to be a sort of "female rabbit bowser", oh well, she better be in mario kart 9
- the mad scientist outfit is from an obscure dutch super gameboy commercial, how the hell did they remember that:

seeing as they went through the trouble of remaking the SMB engine for odyssey's 8-bit sections (which may or may not actually be a revamp of the super mario maker engine, as the spinning 8-bit koopa shells seem to imply), nintendo should consider going down the sonic mania route and making the next main 2D mario in 8-bit, likely in time for SMB's 35th anniversary in 2020

i'd take it and/or an improved super mario maker 2 over another stinking NSMB any day

i found odyssey's best coin farm

- in steam gardens, warp to the secret garden entrance flagpole and head back toward the flower field
- there's a coin coffer enemy hiding just to your left on the flower field as you pass the moon pedestal, capture it until coins stop coming out, then de-capture and pound it, collecting the coins that come out
- obtain a seed from the seed-dispensing steam gardener and cross to the other side of the flower field
- step on the P switch and head up the timed platforms
- at the top level should be a plant pot, toss the seed in it and climb the resulting beanstalk
- here is a coin heaven type area with revamped SMW bonus room music, an uproot to capture and a shitload of coins across a platforming course
- collect every coin
- repeat until desirable coin amount is reached

would anyone want the next 2D mario to be in the style of handdrawn official mario artwork?

There's also a remake of Luigi's Mansion that was revealed in the Direct:

Hopefully, the Hidden Mansion will be handled the way it was in the PAL version of the original, which is how it should have been in the first place.

the gamecube actually had stereoscopic 3D support at the hardware level, and LM was designed with it in mind

apparently a 3D LCD screen display peripheral was experimented with on the gamecube and in LM's development that was never released

the LM 3DS remake will be the definitive version closest to its original vision

about damn time
10 years since k. rool had even a half-decent gig, and that was in a mario baseball spinoff in some dumb tribal getup that fortunately never went forward

breaking news:
very credible leak suggests banjo may be appearing on a nintendo system for the first time in 18 years :

https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/448771-smash-bros-ultimate-roster-leak-banjo-kazooie

also this appeared:
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-64/Banjo-Kazooie-269415.html

there's no way microsoft would allow nintendo to even officially acknowledge that banjo appeared on nintendo systems under normal circumstances, so why give B-K its own page on the official UK site?
