Nintendo NX’s first games may have leaked, but console won’t be as powerful as PS4

Nintendo NX, the company’s upcoming new console, is getting a strong triple-A line-up of games, according to a new report.

The latest issue of MCV reports that Nintendo is working on a new Mario game, while Game Freak is said to be creating a Pokémon game.

Both of these will join Zelda: Breath of the Wild, previously announced, and are scheduled to appear within the first six months of the NX being on sale.

MCV also reports that Nintendo has been busy getting third party developers on board, with Sega, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Activision and Warner Bros said to already working on games.

‘Between a PS3 and PS4′

Eurogamer recently broke the news that the NX will be a portable console that will connect to a TV when you’re at home, and would also have a removable controller. MCV’s sources said that the report was “100 per cent accurate”.

However, things get a little less impressive later on. According to the report, the graphics of the NX will be “somewhere between a PS3 and PS4,” with sources stating that Nintendo is targeting an audience somewhere between smartphone and console gamers.

Which, given everything else that’s been leaked so far, sounds spot on. Nintendo has always been more interested in quality experiences than powerful consoles, to its benefit or detriment, and it’s made it clear that it will be taking a similar path with the NX.

MCV quotes an exec who has gone on with the machine as saying “It’s a nice bit of kit, a bit of a novelty, but a good one.”

“It won’t appeal to PS4 fans. Nintendo seems set on trying to upgrade smartphone gamers. That’s going to be a big job for the marketing department.”

Nintendo is set to launch the NX in March 2017, with a reveal rumored for September. The Pokémon game has us particularly intrigued – will it be the full-blown 3D Pokémon adventure we’ve been waiting so long for? Pretty please?

    I just don't hate a company for no reason. I was very dissapointed with the ps3, vita, and ps4. Ps2 was sony's last good console.

    Oh nice youre right Re7 is on XB1. I actually felt bad for XB gamers when I thought they lost RE so its good to know they havent. My mistaken assumption based on the Sony presentation. Either way Im mainly excited for the VR. Thats gona be CREEPY.. but cmon man ur seeping hate for Sony and its not healthy.. I mean the Vita? Ew get a 3DS if ur a handheld kinda guy. I see now that u immediately hate me for being a fan of PS4, but if u hope to piss me off ur going to be disappointed. Besides talking about a handheld that nobody cares about isnt going to upset anyone any more than talking about the reality that is Sony's failure in various other markets. Should u mention Pokemon Go, no because mobile gaming is as irrelevant to console gaming as handheld but clearly that didnt stop ur roll. I didnt even think Sony had mobile gaming and Im hardly interested if they do. Besides Pokemon Go is pretty lame itself. I really wanted to like it and I put hrs into it to see if it would take. I appreciate that its different and if they change it a lot over the years i will be open to try it again but thats just not my kind of gaming. I cant walk a half mile for 3 pokeballs that I use immediately. Its almost infinite grinding for zero reward and if it werent for Nintendo strategically using Pokemon for nostalgia the game never would have had its moment of fame. That moment will be over soon? But i imagine it will still have a good enough following to keep it going. See how I actually explain my reasoning for not liking something instead of just something sucks? Saying u dont like sony games without offering any reasoning is just going to convince me u havent allowed urself the chance to form a real opinion of ur own and that ur just getting emotionally defensive of something ur insecure about. Repeating uninsightful analogies that ur overly impressed with doesnt help ur cause either. I mean its like I said in my first response, u only made urself vulnerable with ur first comment. All I have to do is be honest with u and i couldnt even hope it wont piss u off. Imagine if someone came in with the sole purpose of pissing u off? Youd be like fish in a barrel.. or a car with no wheels. The engine is ur mouth which is ver over powered but the wheels are ypur supporting arguments and u have none so ur car/commemt leads nowhere. Really when I said keep up I didnt even mean console to console. If ur an XB fan then looks like ur Scorpio will be crushing my Neo unless things change, but thats great for u and theres no reason for me to be upset. U should really let THAT sink in. Ur win is not my loss. If anything in this case ur win is my win because Sony will have to step up its console game. Anyway when I said keep up I just meant with Naughty Dog and their amazing effort to milk consoles for graphics. If Naughty Dog were an XB developer my statement would be no less true. As I said other PS developers already do have to keep up. Naughty Dog always has the best graphics and then other developers work harder. Clearly u have great respect for Naughty Dog. U go out of ur way to hate all things Sony but despite ur bitterness u still compliment Naughty Dog's game so that speaks volumes of their impact on gaming. Really all positive impact on gaming helps all consoles. U have a lot to be grateful to Sony for, like Halo and FPS in general or any game or feature that uses dual analog. Sony also introduced the idea of having media or other features at all really, which then XB expanded on by introducing a console with a hard drive and I love XB for that. Then Nintendo is the reason home console gaming ever took off at all and Nintendo did great thing for motion control with the Wii.. as much as I hate the Wii mote. U will be a lot happier when u dont let other people get to u and dont let other people dictate ur opinions with narrow minded bandwagon ideology. Anyway I have offered all I can to u so if u want the last word go ahead. Make it count. U can even end with a question to make it look like I couldnt think of a come back.. but u will know 😉

    I only chose a console with the most fun games. Nintendo and Xbox FTW for me. I always found sony boring. After wasting money on the ps3, ps vita, and ps4, I will never support Sony again!

    I dont know how to say it.. but i did notice Wii U Zelda had gaps in where there was details.. mostly on character bodies and clothing. Maybe the NX will fill in the gaps. I think ur right that it wont be much better.

  10. Reply Gerard Carter August 5, 2016 at 4:36 pm

    Yea, good point. Hafnt thought of that. Now that u mention it, if the controller is a handheld console optimized to stream from the NX that could potentially work way better than PS4 and XB1 streaming to random devices. Even Vita wasnt primarily focused on streaming. Hmm but then the NX handheld wouldnt be playable without internet. Maybe both the streaming option for full on graphics with internet, and the reduced graphics option for local offline. The cartridge would have to go into the handheld tho, and then u stick the handheld on the home console.. or a 2nd input for the cartridge on the home console. Now Im really curious.

    Console owners looking for power over everything else – Save up and build a PC. They can be built pretty cheaply with at least x2 the power.

    Still, power is nice but you need 'quality' games. Hence me switching between 4k@60fps Doom 4 on PC, through to Mario Kart 8 on wii u! Nintendo know how to make quality games > this should be your main buying point.

    i'm thinking of remote playing, it just require the console or handheld and any device that could use nintendo remote play with a nintendo account for streaming like how the ps4 or xbox one could do.

    Well I don't want anyone to think I'm a PC master race kind of guy because I'm not, I don't have much of a problem with consoles but boy am I grateful for the new consoles, more so if this becomes a regular thing, consoles can finally keep up better with PC's.

    Some console gamers get upset about those Eurogamer comparison from PC and console games, I look at it differently to see how well developers are pushing each of the hardware, ideally I like to see develops push each platform to the best they can, get the most out of them as humanly possible and yeah I know that will mean the PC version will be the best all the time but then it's not that big of a deal.

    Yeah price isn't much of a problem for PC now, I find they end up being cheaper in the long run depending how many games you buy, ease of use is it's only sticking point, even so PC are much easier to use then say 10 plus years ago.

    Personally, anyone new getting into PC gaming, I recommend they have a friend or family member they know to show them the ropes, after a year of that, they'll find it's quite easy and be able to do it themselves, there is those guides on the net but it's not the same as having someone you know help you.

    I think with Scorpio, Microsoft is taking no chances, they got a lot of crap from gamers by being weaker than the PS4, this time it looks like they are going all guns blazing, which might get Sony to up the specs of Neo, it's good news for all gamers.

    I think in the end it won't matter much, it looks like consoles and PC are merging together, at least from Microsoft's point of view, it wouldn't surprise me if PC and consoles end up running the same codebase from games in the next decade or so, more so thanks to Vulcan and DX12, I'll be interested to see how VR impacts the landscape with mobile, consoles and PC gaming, that could be the biggest change in gaming since going from 2D to 3D.

    Nintendo and Xbox don't have to do shit "to keep up". Most PCs out today have the ps4 outdated. Graphics don't mean shit. You can have a powerful motor in a vehicle, but its Useless without tires. Sad how the vita is dead. The NES, SNES, Wii, DS, 3DS, and 360 sold more than the "powerful"vita! So what's this about catching up. Should I mention Pokemon Go! What lame sony game on the mobile phone sold like Pokemon Go! LOL.

    Nintendo should stop making hardware and concentrate on making their games for PS and Xbox. They will never learn.

    I think now that consoles can scale, they might end up with 3 consoles all at once, low, mid and high end, let consumers choose what they want, that way, the ones that want a higher end console thats more competitive with PC's can get one, I know some are worried that with the new consoles, the older ones will get left behind, but if it's done like it's done on PC, games can scale over a wide range of hardware.

  21. Reply Kaylee Sporer August 6, 2016 at 9:13 pm

    Very true. Hadnt thought of how that must look to a PC gamer haha. Most people get too salty to explain themselves honestly. As a console gamer I get excited for increased console specs, graphics above all else, and want the best a console can offer, but like u said I dont worry about PC comparison or get excited for a new graphics card. Im not infinitely forgiving of consoles and if consoles start to slack I will get upset, but I think consoles found a good price point where the generational improvement is great and their cheap enough that my friends can get consoles too. I think expense isnt really the turnoff of PCs as far as most are concerned, even tho people love to say that when their starved for reasons to hate on PC. The turnoff is simply our personal unfamiliarity with a very complex platform. Many PC gamers take their knowledge for granted. If I could snap my fingers and understand the best way to set up a future proof PC that'd be swell, but every time I hear spec measurements or Nvidia or other weird terms, I have no idea what is being said and it reminds me how much work Id have cut out for me if I were to PC game efficiently enough for it to even be worth the effort. I just know there is so much more to it than I am aware of. I dont even understand how much better Scorpio specs appear to be over Neo, but Im sure as hell jealous and hoping for a PS4 to match. For some it is worth the effort to learn PC and maybe they learned for reasons other than gaming. They earn sweeter experiences. Consoles are good for me and people who dont care how it works as long as it does cuz we dont have to do or learn anything. We can hardcore game, casually. I do respect PC gamer knowledge tho so hat off to ya. While im not jealous of the performance gap that Ive learned to accept, I am way envious of ur general knowledge and understanding of gaming performance. I almost got a PC myself. I bought Elder Scrolls Anthrology so I could get mods on Oblivion and Skyrim but I started reading up on PC and had NO idea where to start.. so my lazy ass still hasnt. As sad as u must think it is, my plan was to keep the games until average laptops could handle the graphic improving mods haha. Fortunately I should have Skyrim mods in October, if Bethesda can get over their unique trouble with PS4 coding, but of course there will again be even better mods only on PC, thus the circle of life continues.

    i did remote play the ps4 app (modded one) on a android it play smooth with other apps for bluetooth with a ps4 controller. xbox one on pc via xbox app on windows 10 with my wii u pro controller using mayflash wii u controller adapter in xinput mode, it was okay too. hopefully nintendo will use remote play to similar to ps4 and xbox one.

    Guys guys guys! Remember that this is graphics and performance on a HANDHELD CONSOLE NOT HOME CONSOLE. Thats very good so you basically have a mini ps3.5 on the go on a HD 5 inch screen playing mario pokemon zelda etc. Thats especially awesome compared to the 3ds which had pretty average to below screen resolution though great games. Ill still buy it if its the graphics for a hand held
