Re: Nintendo Will Reveal NX Price, Launch Lineup And Specs This Year, Claims Nikkei

@kyuubikid213 Yeah, you're right, buying a console does come with risks. I was thinking more of the gamers who felt a little cheated because of the relative low game quantity, as well as a lack of specific games, like a console-exclusive main Zelda game for example. To be honest, I think it's unlikely that Nintendo would do another type of program similar to the Ambassador Program, and it absolutely made more sense for the 3DS's situation. I do think it would be neat if Nintendo gave out some free eShop credit or My Nintendo points or something to Wii U owners though.

Re: Launching NX Next Year Is The "Proper" Thing To Do, Says Nintendo Boss Tatsumi Kimishima

I'm fine with a March release, it is indeed far more important for Nintendo to have games to play both at launch and continuing afterward. Personally, I want Nintendo to make games that simply look super awesome to play to the average consumer. Something like a new 3D Mario that's not like 3D World, for example. I'm not saying 3D World isn't fun, but compared to what Mario 64 was when it came out, it doesn't seem as "cool." Mario 64 introduced so many awesome abilities for Mario, like throwing Bowser all the way across the dang arena! But 3D World was more slow-paced and limited; the final boss wasn't even a fight! Instead, Bowser just sat on a giant POW block like an idiot practically asking for Mario to knock him off. Mario is my favorite series, so I want an awesome new Mario game to play on the NX!

Re: Nintendo's 'Supplemental Computing Device' Patent is Cleared for Completion

Does anybody remember a patent Nintendo filed a couple of years ago, about swappable physical buttons? It showed how a device could have interchangeable joysticks and d-pads for different button configurations on one device. It seemed like a pretty cool idea to me, as long as somebody didn't lose the pieces lol.

Here is the link to IGN's article:

I really think this would be a surprise move by Nintendo if they incorporated it into the NX somehow, and I think it would be both innovative and genuinely appealing.
