So basically a PC Engine from Nintendo?
I wish this guy luck as this is a pretty cool fantasy project.
Personally I'll just be happy if he starts making and selling those controllers.

Oucheth

Cyndaquil is best gir-er, best starter!

@TheWPCTraveler
Nope, it's Shouzo Kaga whose making his own game called Vestaria Saga. I've sadly no clue whatsoever on what Kaneda is currently doing in or out of Nintendo :/
But yeah, the long awaited sequel to Radiant Dawn with Kaneda as director, Senri Kita as artist, and Yuka Tsujioka for music would be GOLDEN.

Yes I want a dedicated handheld and separate systems but I want a unified platform as well.
As in, different systems with different specs and form factors but with one OS and one store and an unified development API that allows for easy porting between 2 or more 9th gen and beyond Nintendo systems, similar to Android where there hundreds and hundreds of device configurations yet games can at least work on many of them.

Expensive, BUTIWANTIT.

EDIT: WAIT, doesn't the video say 4980 yen?

Sigh, I'll go get the shovel...

I believe this rumor has already been dispelled. Anyway I do hope they make a new handheld as after the Wii U debacle I won't be buying another Nintendo home console. Unless IS makes another console FE WITH TAEKO KANEDA AS DIRECTOR that is. Kouhei Maeda should have no involvement whatsoever aside from being the lead scenario writer like he used to do. I do not like Maeda's games, but he was a pretty good scenario writer back in the day.

I completely forgot about getting non-Shiny tapeworm and sparkly Bambi, but I definitely won't forget Shiny Yveltal.

SIGH. I need to go clean the blood dripping out of my ears....

@SmaMan
Pretty sure they just region lock the store like everyone else. I don't think anything hardware related would be locked.

Wii U left out again? Just how badly does Nintendo want to kill off this system?

@Thermoclorn
It's not a Nintendo product so I'm sure it's region free.

Oh I remember these. Seems kinda dumb to be honest with you.

It's times like these that region lock really bites people in the ass don't it?

How about some Healthy Hotels Nintendo?

Well, that's what happens when you set aside only 40 bucks for the budget. If they had half the budget of even low budget MMORPGs like Onigiri, they'd probably have made a decent game.

Hm? No Android?
Anyway, I'd love to play this on a portable, but I'll wait for the Vita version. Much clearer image than 3DS.

@VanillaLake
I honestly think Sony is bowing out of the handheld race. Actually it feels like Sony is intent on eventually turning Playstation into a game streaming platform in the future, but I digress. I don't think Sony will make another handheld, which leaves Nintendo mostly alone in this field with no competition whatsoever.
Pretty depressing, but if the still-germinating Windows/Linux gaming UMPC market (GPD Win, Dragonbox Pyra, PGS-if this is real,........PocketCHIP?)can eventually grow to be popular, that'll give a great alternative for handheld gamers, especially if Microsoft looks into making their own OR licensing their tech to another company making one. A gaming handheld PC that can also do general purpose computer things seems to already be a popular idea with the Japanese at least...

@VanillaLake
Vita is pretty popular in Japan. If a series like Monster Hunter finally pops on over to Vita, I'm sure it'll sell at least a million or two million copies on that handheld alone. It'll also give the Vita a huge boost in Japan, like it usually does for PSP and 3DS.

Dayum, P3rd still going undefeated.

You got this far Capcom, now let's take this series to the next level and go multiplatform. Make an MH game for all current gen HD platforms, including Vita and Wii U. Vita version is guaranteed to be a success due to being a portable and PS4 version should do very well overall worldwide. Xbone version....not the platform MH would do well on UNLESS the west really wants to play it. And finally the Wii U. I figure this might be worst selling platform for a new HD MH, or second worst after XBone, especially if other platforms are available for this game, but Capcom's relationship with Nintendo and its fans could make a Wii U version. And of course there is a MAAAAAAASSIVE chance that the new MH will be an NX launch title due to Capcom's suggested release window of March 2017 is exactly the same as the NX.
I truly hope it won't be an NX-exclusive and that it'll be allowed to spread its wings by being multiplatform. Better yet, if it allowed cross-platform multiplayer across ALL platforms, especially since it seems Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all open to the idea of multiplayer between their consoles. MH could be the game to do that and foster friendship between all the fanbases, being a purely co-op game and all.

EDIT: P.S. If Tecmo Koei can go and make each version of Toukiden shine on each of its respective platforms, Capcom should be able to do the same with making each version of a potential multi plat MH look and play beautifully no matter which system it's on (sans 3DS).

@peeks
Their home consoles are replaced every 5-6 years, but their handhelds don't have a set schedule. The original Game Boy lasted about 10 years I think while the DS lasted about 7 years.

Sigh Nintendo...just........sigh.

Oh dear....
An animated Pikmin could be amazing though.

@Syrek24
Good for you.

@rjejr
So, where exactly did I say power was the most important thing? All I said was that being the weakest system doesn't guarantee the system being the best selling console of its generation, which a lot of people seem to think. Success depends on many factors.
And honestly, the Vita could've sold extremely well if Sony had put in the effort to actually sell it. The launch of the Vita was very well done, much better than the 3DS's, yet right afterwards they allowed it to drop off and couldn't be bothered to help it. Nintendo on the other hand, rushed back to the drawing board as quickly as they possibly can in order to save their ailing handheld.
To me, I feel both companies motivations for their current gen handhelds were largely influenced by the last generation.
Nintendo had gotten used to huge profits, no matter what they bring out, and needed to please investors more than anyone. The Wii had really great sales, but sales dropped off HARSHLY in its final years and I think the DS was in decline as well (but not as bad as Wii I believe) so Nintendo really needed their newest money maker to actually do its job. When it didn't they needed to fix the situation as quickly and effectively as possible. The things they did are many, though many people LOVE to point out that the games supposedly saved the system. I honestly don't agree with that, as that whole concept did jack squat for the Wii U AND the Vita and I honestly feel the level of game quality on 3DS DOES NOT surpass the Vita's. Again, many factors somehow managed to save the 3DS (though I DO believe it is Nintendo's worst selling handheld ever, not counting Virtual Boy).
On Sony's side, the PSP and PS3 both ended up selling quite well and unlike Nintendo's products they both continued selling rather steadily even after their supposed expiry dates. Of course there were caveats such as PS3 taking forever to become a profit and PSP only really continuing to be a good success in Japan, but they continued selling and continued getting games. I think what I'm trying to say is that Sony wasn't quite as desperate as Nintendo to get their newest product flying off store shelves, which is partially why they left the Vita to die a slow, not-actually-lonely death (I say "not-actually" because JP is quite supportive of the Vita).

@Grumblevolcano
The Wii U proved the whole "weakest system wins" myth to be false though. Whether a console sells better than its competitors are completely based on other factors.

Lol whut.
It can still be x86 AND highly customized. Is this just a fancy way of saying that it'll just be a PowerPC again?

He's gone senile.

Their emails are harmless and don't arrive that often, so I'm fine with their promo emails, even if I almost never open them.

@JaxonH
I really would love to, but first I would have to figure out whether I want to get the NA version and play on my 2DS (MH on a 2DS is suffering imo...) or import the EU version with the special New XL.
I just don't know how much money I'll have available in July, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it at release.
Hopefully there will be a 3DS price drop soon...

I want the red one, and this is a good excuse to import a PAL system however systems from Europe are always insanely expensive....

Very 4th gen-like.
This is probably Nintendo's response to "Sega does what Nintendon't".
Now if only Nintendo had the consoles and game quality to truly back up their claim.

Wait they didn't already confirm this?Guess I just assumed considering how obvious it was.

@Igetin
I think wololo or another site had an article talking about just how awful Nintendo's security is and WHY it's so awful.
I think it was something about them using the ARM9 coprocessor that they're using for DS backwards compatibility as a security processor as well. At least that's part of the reason.

Kitten or owl?
Can't really decide, I'll have to wait for the evolved forms.

Can't wait to get this for my Vita. Physical copy would be best considering I'm pretty much out of storage space on my 64 GB.
Though I'm on my PC a lot, I don't game on it all that often and I very rarely ever play my Wii U, so those two are out.

@Gauchorino
GBA is also a 32-bit system.

Again?

Sounds good. Hopefully the Vita version won't be a shoddy port.

Makes sense. Nintendo wasn't ready for the Wii U, and the Wii U wasn't ready for the world. They need more time so that they won't release another failure.

How about adding more content so people don't quit using the app after the first few plays?

While I DO think they SHOULD have something else to show, I'm not entirely sure if it's really a good idea.
What I mean is, if it'll just be like last year, then that could just do more harm than good to their public image.
Now if they were going to show all those so-call "unannounced games" THEN GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
Nintendo is not gaining anything by hiding all the stuff that they supposedly have.
Nintendo is an old-as-hell company and even in video game industry they're pretty damn old, but why the hell does it feel like lately (lately being the last half decade, at least) they've just been fumbling around like a newborn deer?

@ThanosReXXX
Aye it was, but we'll have to see if they'll actually go through with it :/

@IceAnt573
What I'm "trying to prove", which I really not as I've no time to type out proof, is that they have NOT "maintained (and are perceived) a consistent level of quality". Quality is still good in some ways, but I find it difficult to say that the quality of current games is as high as previous games.

Wasn't a similar rumor to this already reported on before?

Didn't Nintendo refer to NX generally as a platform at some point and allude to more and more devices in the future?
I have absolutely no interest in Nintendo home consoles anymore after the Wii U, but it'd so freaking cool for them to release a bunch of different handhelds of varying specs and usages and have them all capable of sharing at least 80% of all games. An environment similar to Android, but much more secure and distinctly Nintendo. That should be Nintendo's future, not GIMMICK GIMMICK GIMMICK.

@IceAnt573
Lol whut? I concede that Fates overall is a pretty good game, as was Awakening, however it is a weaker game than all those games you've listed, aside from Shadow Dragon DS.
It's objectively 'good', but subjectively the newer games just aren't 'fun' in a sense.

I wonder if Sakaguchi would be interested in playing Kaga's new indie game, Vestaria Saga.

@Damo
While that's true, it should be noted in the original article that the PocketCHIP device itself isn't exactly new. I'm sure the people who never heard of this thing have never heard of the CHIP either, so it'd be news to them regardless.
I'm sorry if this sounds rude in any way; I've only just woken up.
