My pitch for the NX - commercial

26 March 2015 - 10:53 PM

Ok imagine this. It sounds farfetched, but I think its believable and within the realms of possibility.

First person view

 

A 20 something guy is playing a new 3D Super Mario game on what looks like a Wii U gamepad, but it';s slightly different, analogue triggers, brighter, clearer touchsreen, and slight indentations on all the controls. His alarm goes off for his dentist appointment on his smartphone.

 

He pauses the game and walks over to the TV and plucks the NX system out of its charging cradle, opens it up and resumes his game where he left off, and continues playing outside on route to the dentist appointment.

 

Cut to after its darker now on the bus and a low battery symbol warns him he's on low battery. He simply TWISTS OFF the second screen and the game switches to just being played on the bottom screen. The battery life rises roughly 20%

 

We then cut to show that both the NX gamepad and the controls on teh main portable are modular and can either be swapped for circle pads to full on analogue sticks, you can even pimp them out with SNES N64 and gamecubed themed buttons, alongside faceplates which can bet swapped! 

 

We then cut to Nintendo's logo and the NX's name.

Would you buy this console. Say if they had a basic that wasn't backward compatible due to its x86 architecture, and a pro one that came with a gamepad, charging dock that allowed on TV play, and backward compatibility? I'd probably also have a preview at the end of all the launch games, especially push the third party support too. Such as people playing the full console version of Battlefield 5 on the subway against each other locally or playing GTA6 on TV and then on the bus. Or something


Official Nintendo Software Emulation Question

22 March 2015 - 12:18 AM

In theory, with Nintendo's precise knowledge of their hardware.  If the NX was backwards compatible with say 3DS (portable mode), GC,  Wii (tv mode), and Wii U digital eshop titles. BUT was using AMD x86 architecture - could Nintendo's genius technicians find a way of perfect software emulation of these digital downloads (with button mapping to the NX) without the general rule that emulation requires many times the power to do so?

Just theoretically is it impossible? Or if anyone could do it would Nintendo be able to do it?

The Wii U is actually portable!

Today I had my first day at work and I had to commute on a coach. i just so happened to have my Wii U with me with MK8, and I just so happened to sit in a seat with a wall socket. I plugged it in, and the coach powered the console, and of course the gamepad had enough battery life to last the 45 minute commute. Needless to say i'm very happy and thought I'd let you know that I presume due to the low power usage of the Wii U the coach wall sockets can handle a Wii U easily, and technically you can play off tv games out and about on long train and coach journeys - so long as there's a wall socket!


Is Shy Guy a Cat?

The part where he talks about piloting a giant Robot from a helicopter, and talks about controlling multiple airwings finally sounds interesting!
