Nintendo NX: Rumors It Will Support Cross Play, Specs Close to PS4/X1

4.6

When it comes to the Nintendo NX, there still isn’t a ton of information out there about what the console will do or what it will offer. What we think we know is that the newest console from Nintendo will not actually have an optical drive. The company hasn’t actually confirmed this but it appears that it also hasn’t denied those rumors and because of that the gaming world is moving on with that assumption.

This weekend, more rumors about what the NX is going to bring. The new rumors are coming from someone close to the company who says that the NX is more than just one console but more of a platform. That means that there is a push to make it quite a bit more cross-platform than what we’ve already seen from the Nintendo brand. There are some versions of the game that allow release on both the 3DS and the Wii U but the NX is geared to expand on that idea.

The company is reportedly looking to come up with a console that is comparable to the Xbox One/PS4 when it comes to the specs and the way it operates back and forth. While it makes sense for Nintendo to modeling their newest console on the ones available, there might be a bit of a danger of aiming their new console at those that have already been on the market for over a year. It’s possible other features will help set the console apart but we’ll have to wait and see when the company finally starts talking.

tyfgyl Would sell my xbone for this. If developing was easy enough then the best 3rd parties such as fifa and cod would come, and if you add in the mario games you got yourself a winner.

It has nothing to do with wether or not it would be difficult to port games to the NX, it's about money. They have to ask themselves "Are there enough people on this console that want to buy our game?" and "Would we make money?"

I don't think they would make too much money, ofc people will buy it, but you're not going to see a big jump in sales

JM- This is more like it from nintendo. I felt as though they could have done something better with the wii u.

I think they wanted to stick with the family angle, but it just wasn't as successful as the Wii. Something they should've taken into consideration was that the Wii was successful because it was the first ever console of its kind. The fad wore off way before the announce of the Wii U. I don't doubt there are people out there that love playing it, but it just didn't get the attention they thought it would.

Polygon These are just rumors so nothing is confirmed.

You may never now if it will or not.
