Leaked New Nintendo Console Pics (FAKE)

[Mr. Pink]

Please guys, continue to show your superior business acumen to these hacks.

Eh, looks like I have been pretty ignorant in this matter. Nintendo 3DS being so successful is definitely news for me, as I've been convinced that it was considered to be something of a failure.

what gave you that impression? I've seen tons of 3DS everywhere but I the number of Vita's I've seen can be counted with two hands.

The 3DS made enough money to absorb the failure of the Wii U pretty comfortably.

You might be on to something here, and that's something I have been thinking about often in the last few years.

Considering how cheap old consoles are (even including the inflation due to the collector / purist effect), it would probably be quite "easy" to make a console that's basically a mix of several old consoles (either with universal controllers or allowing players to use original ones), or barring that, release emulated versions of some sort of super-compilations of old consoles catalogs. As of now, I'm sure that's what a lot of old-school fans' computers have become anyway: a machine that runs dozens and dozens of old games from various consoles, with added features like fast-forward or F5-F9. Surely there is a market for that kind of thing.

The main obstacle I can see would come from old copyright and who owns them now, which is always a problem with compilations (see Red Hammer or Pandora Tomorrow).

Just make it a paid service, like Playstation plus or xbox live. For a low monthly fee you get access to Nintendo entire first party catalog of old gen games.

Thats a license to literally print money.

Because then i could play multiplatform games along with the best nintendo first party games, which gamers havent been able to do since the SNES, from then on onwards, the Nintendo 64, the gamecube, the wii, the wii u, have all been almost wasteland for third party support, and out of all those 4 consoles only the wii was a resounding success compared to the competition.

N64 and GC saw a far share of multiplatform ports, what prevented more high profile multiplatorm games from being ported was the storage limitation of N64 cartridges or GC discs compared to their respective competition... Real third party wasteland began with Wii, most of all due to its lack of horsepower compared to X360 & PS3.

The article is available to subscribers only, however the gist of it is this:

• Though Nvidia downplayed console margins, their pride was hurt by the loss in console contracts. All the talk about "focusing on Shield" was a cover for the fact that MS and Sony had soured on them and would not enter negotiations.
  
• Nvidia team was told to get a console win or "go home." Enter Nintendo, who apparently made off very well in this deal. This to the point that SemiAccurate questions whether this is a "win" at all for Nvidia.
  
• SA has heard that Nvidia are promising software, support, and the whole shebang at a very low cost. According to one source, Nvidia may even be taking a loss on this deal. (Take the second sentence here with an extra portion of salt)
  
• Not mentioned which generation of Tegra or which process node will be used or when the handheld is scheduled for release.
  
• No mention of the home console, but we can speculate what that might be and who might provide the chipset for that one.

Of course then there's this oldie:

Makes sense that they're skipping x86. It will likely be a Tegra chip running with Android/Vulkan because mobile gaming is big in Japan. Buy one game, play it either on the handheld or home console (with extra HD bells and whistles).

Portability to PS4/Xbone?

Nintendo: "Who gives a fuck."
