The portable unit will require a bag to carry it around in if it's 10" x 6.5"

I don't understand that spec leak. What is a promotional unit? Why are some measurements in cm and others mm? The home unit is bloody tiny if thats true.

A promotional unit is like the ones you saw for WiiU's, Basically a purpose built enclosed unit with a TV etc. Hence the fact that it's quite big in the measurements detailed. (notice the capacitative screen size mentioned.) Think of it like a big version of the portable system.

The home unit size would hint at it being a dock of some kind without a disc drive. Home consoles could be relatively small without disc drives and built in PSU's. Mini ITX PC boards are tiny things for example and could be way smaller without using DDR strips and having PCI-E sockets. The gigabyte BRIX systems for example are everybit as small as the home part mentioned and they can have core i5's in them. Actually looking at the size of a BRIX system it's nearly exactly the same.

Also there are now multiple people saying that Friday will have a big NX related announcement. Eurogamer seem to agree as well.

I predict an announcement.

NEG is, for the first time ever, correct.

Apparently it's a 3 minutes video so hopefully we shall see some decent hardware and game footage!

NX made the forum go down!

 

So 15.5cm screen on the handheld, that's the size of an iPhone 6+ screen for context.

Obviously happening at 3pm so Rockstar can say that RDR2 is coming to the NX as well at 4pm.

Seems the crash deleted my last post.

 

I still predict NX won't make it for March.

I wonder if the closeness of this announcement and the RDR 2 video is not a coincidence.

It's ahead of schedule according to our saviour Emily Rodgers.

They literally listed the PS4 and Xbox One in the RDR 2 announcement, so it's definitely not an NX exclusive. But it would be a big deal if it's coming to NX too.

[RubberJohnny]

I'll bet RDR2 won't be on NX.

 

Nintendo get the ports from the big publishers who can farm them out to a third party or one of their dozens of studios no trouble, but the "do everything yourself" devs like Bungie, Blizzard and Rockstar are a bit less enthusiastic.

I bet you're right considering all signs point towards it being less powerful than the XB1. 

 

Which is fine because Nintendo have proven time and time again that even on lesser hardware they're still masters of their craft.

If there's no NX reveal this month, I'll completely abandon Nintendo forever!! 

 

Phew, eh?

[DarhkFox]

finally forum is back.

 

It's weird that nintendos post says "Nintendos next home console". Less than 5 hours now!

What's RDR2?

 

EDIT: Ah, Read Dead Redemption 2. I was thinking it was a tech abbreviation so it took me a moment!

 

I doubt it'll be on NX too.

SDHC? Not SDXC? WTF.
