While any rumours before an official announcement should be taken with a major grain of salt, there’s a new batch of Nintendo NX hardware rumours doing the rounds online from a source who has sucessfully leaked information in the past.
Geno, an online source who in the past leaked information regarding new Pokemon forms and Microsoft’s Illumiroom project, spoke to Dual Pixels and dropped a large amount of supposed hardware information about Nintendo’s upcoming hardware.
While this could all be a bunch of rubbish, the info is all included below. For what it’s worth, much of this info does line up with information I have been hearing from a separate source.
– The NX has a wireless HDMI dongle that attaches flush to the back of the device.
– You can pull it out and insert it into any display with a normal sized HDMI output.
– NX uses an evolved version of the Wii U’s streaming tech to display in HD on the TV screen.
– Analog controls for movement have small motors in them for full haptic feedback. If you control a character and hit a wall, the sticks move away from the wall to simulate hitting it.
– Bluetooth synch with tons of devices, including smartphones and tablets.
– You can answer phone calls and display text messages from your phone onto NX screen(s).
– Closest in terms of hardware spec to the Xbox One.
– All tech uses the exact same hardware layout as the PS4 and Xbox One.
– Any game that can run on Playstation 4 or Xbox One can easily run on the NX with near-zero modifications.
– This is even more true if the game runs on Android OS or Unreal Engine 4.
– One 3rd Party dev says “It’s the easiest device we’ve ever developed for. You just take your code, compile it and it works.”
– Look to Pokemon GO to get an idea of the type of social features that will be in NX.
– Strengths of the device are its usability and ease of use.
– Operating system, named NintendOS, is very powerful and has so many modern features of mobile operating systems.
– Nintendo is trying to be very careful in showing it off for fear that it would be mistaken as running Android.
– Very strong networking functions, as it ties into multiple devices and services.
– This allows for a very competent and pervasive eco-system designed to constantly involve the consumer’s life.
While this information is all unofficial and unconfirmed, it would line up with a lot of the industry rumblings about the NX.
So, if this turns out to be accurate, would it get you interested in the NX?
