Wii U seems like it wasn't around very long.

Going to end up being around half a year shorter than the average Nintendo console cycle but pretty much had replacement rumors going on since about a year after its launch.
People really wanted Nintendo to pull a Sega with the console which would have put them in worse shape with the NX in regards to developers and retailers. |

I like the idea of cartridges if space is left on them for downloaded patches.

Also, there were reports that it's not using x86 and maybe using the same Android chips NVidia produce to give it about the power of an XBox 1. There's now so many conflicting rumours that I just want to get to the announcement already. |

Sounds like what they said prior to the DS' launch about it not being a real successor and as its own thing. Only later did it become the official successor to the Gameboy line once it was successful.
Either that or because its rumored to be a hybrid, Nintendo doesn't think it fits in either line for direct lineage. |

If it isn't "VR" and it is a gimmick, they can GTFO

I'm pretty sure it's not going to be VR. That would have leaked by now.

If its not significantly more powerful than base model XB1 and PS4 then they are wasting their time. One big reason for the failure of Wii U is that it is so inferior to its competition and didn't have a good enough gimmick like the original Wii to make up for it. I love my Wii U for certain games, but if those games were on another system then I'd 100% choose it over the Wii U.

I only buy a Nintendo console for Nintendo games anyway, so I'd be in the same boat. No stupid gimmick and backwards compatability and I'll likely be there day one... But the latter is looking less and less likely.

Maybe Nintendo and Sega should merge and create the ultimate failed console, the SaturnU.

Resident Evil 4 was a gc exclusive for quite a while. Skyward sword and Twilight Princess also great.
Thwre was this mech battle game that was a lot of fun that doesn't get anywhere ner the attention it deserves. So overlooked I forgot the name. |

Eurogamer are reporting it is a hybrid system that is a handheld that can be docked to the TV, using NVidia Tegra, possibly a newer Pascal based one and using cartridges up to 32GB at launch.

If it is the Pascal based Tegra X2, it'll be more powerful than a PS4 or XB1 and yet be portable. It's not too crazy because it is supposed to be a mobile chip.
If its X1... Well, its still more powerful than the Wii U at least. |

Power means nothing anymore, to be honest. But I've always been in the crowd that favors the experience rather than ZOMG 60fps or GTFO

In terms of games, a recent report by MVC hinted at Nintendo repairing ties with Ubisoft to ensure stronger support for the NX.
Also teased Nintendo is planning on releasing a new major Mario and Pokemon game within the first 6 months of the NX's launch. Quote:

So what it sounds like is a:
6-7" tablet type screen with controllers that bolt onto the sides and 720p for the handheld. The controller can disconnect from the screen and connect together as a wireless controller. Based on descriptions, be something like this: A TV-out/dock for home console gaming outputting out at 4k (games probably won't render at that though) Uses cartridges up to 32GB Dev kits are region free. Hoping that retail units are too. Now, for the most recent news. There's an official Splatoon tournament happening in October and the prize? A Nintendo NX. I'd have to imagine that it would at least be revealed what the hell it is by then. |

Nah, they'll announce the real name when they actually unveil the system. Still holding out hope it'll be this month.

Might be as early as next week since a couple of reports teased it occurring right before or during the Tokyo Game Show event.

Scratch that since a new report from the Wall Street Journal is now teasing early October as the official debut date for the NX.
Assuming its true, maybe Nintendo didn't want anything else from the Tokyo Game Show to share the media spotlight with the NX had it occurred next week. Also could be entirely related to them wanting to pull another "The Wizard" moment by using the upcoming Splatoon tournament for its official debut. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/nin.../1100-6443403/ |

More signs pointing to the rumor of the NX using carts popped up after a recent trademark for Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild included references to game cartridges.

NX rumored to be launching during the week of March 4th if a recent release date for Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is any indication.
