NooBTooB Forum

Last time, you guys talked about the current gen consoles and how they're only modest upgrades from their predecessors.  Fast forward two years, and now we're getting major mid-cycle upgrades to them (which is basically them admitting that they were underpowered), which has never happened before.

Then we have the Wii U basically failing, and Nintendo's already expected to replace it next March with their STILL mysterious NX, which is rumored to be this tablet-sized handheld that can connect to a TV and act as a home console.  Apparently it'll have detachable controllers on the sides, and will act primarily as a handheld.  People call it a "hybrid" device, as it seems to be something that sits in between the "3DS" type of handheld, and a regular home console.  It also seems like they'll be just going with one device, rather than support multiple devices at once (something they haven't been good at since the old Wii/DS, which you guys noted back in the old NooBTooB episode days).
