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

 

 

Been waiting months for 3 minutes. Chances are we're going to blow early, and it will be a disappointment.

I somehow doubt they will simply drop their new hardware announcement during a surprise last-minute Direct.

Just the 89 pages on neogaf so far then...

Wooo! Tremendously excited for this long-awaited reveal. My only requirement is that it plays Nintendo games, but it would be fun if ALL the previous rumours and ideas turned out to be totally wrong. 

 

Now to clear my workload by 3pm...

Memory cards.

 

SDHC (high capacity) has a maximum size of 32GB.

 

SDXC (extended capacity) has a theoretical maximum size of 2TB (in practice the biggest one I've seen for sale is 256 512GB I think).

 

If the new console only supports SDHC and not SDXC then it seems like a very backwards-looking design decision.

Full reveal/press conference in January then?

I was wondering where the idea it was limited to SDHC came from. Sorry for not being clearer.

Well this is really quite pleasant news! Fingers crossed Nintendo really wows us.

 

In the meantime there's some amazing gifs on gaf, they're losing their shit.

Ah right, fair enough. No idea about that, I just took deKay's post at face value

So what time is this on in old-fashioned current British time? 3pm? 

[DarhkFox]

3pm. I might have to duck to the toilet around then, unless no one is in the office.

 

Part me of wants to try and finish work early.. probably won't though.

Yes.

I think any spec referring to an X2 should be taken with a bucket of salt.

Yeah - from my understanding the X2 needs cooling - potentially possible for a console device - not so much a handheld.

 

If it is X2 then fair play, it should be pretty decent but i can't see it happening unless its massively underclocked.

I'm hoping that best case scenario all of the recent rumours and 'leaks' are exposed as speculatory bullshit, but there you go.

Most people like the idea of a hybrid console though?

I haven't seen one before... no-one has....but I'm guessing it's a white console.
