not just a rumor. this is available!

I never finished the original because it was so blurry that it hurt my eyes. Looking forward to this!

woohoo!

what's a torya

Does anyone really care at this point? Maybe in 2012 or 2013 I would have, but since the Wii U is basically on its way out I know I dont. Especially when you can play it on every other platform.

unfortunately this

that's pretty exciting!

I love the sharp green and clean design of the Xbox case. PS4 is too similar to a regular blu ray case. It's between Xbox and Wii U for me. 

I may be wrong here but I think no main (numbered) FF game has been on a Nintendo console since DS with the ports of III, VI, with VI being the last. VII was never on a Nintendo console. So why is Cloud coming to Smash? Surely that means FFVII remake is coming to Wii U/NX??

...except that it seems that most Nintendo gamers are just buying handhelds.

It'll be an advantage for me. I don't need Nintendo to be the best-selling console to enjoy it. 

But maybe the value proposition on top of the supposedly industry-leading tech will draw more consumers?

 

"industry leading chips" would be very expensive. The PS4 is $350 right now. It's a console with a normal controller. The NX would have to be more powerful and deliver a second screen at the same time. The handheld part of NX would need its own CPU, GPU, RAM, you name it... This together would cost at least $500. The current customers who would buy a 3DS are those that probably don't want to spend a lot of money on a platform. NX would be more expensive as a PS4 or Xbox One. This is problematic.

That would be a large up-front investment but for people who care about mobile gaming it wouldn't be any more expensive than buying a console and handheld separately. If you consider a console launch price of around $400 and a handheld launch price of around $200, you're actually saving $100. Then there's the fact that you wouldn't need to be different sets of games, thus saving a huge amount on games. 

Why would it be untrue just because it makes sense? Nintendo's actions make sense all the time, just you cannot look at industry statistics and expect them to apply.

it's cool to say that Nintendo doesn't know how to run their business

Seems pretty far fetched but I'd definitely get it and the fact that Destructoid is reporting on it would seem to give it more credence

Got plenty to bide my time with MM, Yoshi, Fatal Frame, Xenoblade, Gianna Sisters, Shovel Knight....I'm meeeeeeeeeelting!!!!

Thanks for the help.

 

I am in the UK.  Is that a UK number?

Here is the UK support page: https://www.nintendo...act-621598.html

number is +44 (0)345 60 50 247

You should call Nintendo's support number. If you're in the US it's 800-255-3700. It's possible they may be able to repair it, or you could just buy another console. The refurbished consoles through Nintendo's store are a very good deal.

Your downloaded games are not lost forever. They are associated with your NNID, which can be transferred to another console with Nintendo Support's help. 

do they have no shaaaaaame???

why "Roku"? isn't that a streaming device?

Oh I know and the price would reflect it.

Not necessarily true. Prime example: the original 3DS Zelda SE bundle (w/Ocarina of Time 3D) retailed at the console MSRP of $199 when it was released. The whole idea of the pack-in is that it boosts sales of the console by not charging extra for the game. It seems to have become more or less the norm with standard consoles...I don't think Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony have a current SKU that is lacking some kind of pack-in game. I wish Nintendo hadn't stopped doing it with their SE consoles (though they aren't the only ones...as Sony's LE Batman console cost $50 more). At least the Wind Waker Wii U bundle had a digital copy of the game.
