It would solve Nintendo's biggest problem, which is lack of third party support. Nobody wants to develop games for Nintendo home consoles, they avoid it like the plague. With a unified hybrid, you would see all the third party that Nintendo lost come back.

Ubisoft, EA, etc, would be more confident designing games on a mobile platform than Nintendo's home platform.

Looks like my predictions are panning out. We'll find out real soon.

Cannot be unlocked, it was never finished, just watch the incomplete ending of 51 on youtube and sell the game.

51 was never completed and will never be completed since Kojima is fired. It was supposed to be the last mission where hundreds of people fought Metal Gear on Island of the Flies.

In the spirit of MGS I was left with one single expression after gazing at all the mainstream media reviews of MGS V (!!!!!!!) Anyone who knows MGS knows !.

I'm now 100% convinced that all mainstream game reviews are dishonest. If you read gamer reviews you'll find that the general consensus is the game is a epic failure 6-7 tops, the lack of story, repetitive gameplay, boring open world, spartan boss fights, wonky outdated A.I, horrible pacing, lack of cinematics, lack of interesting characters, lack of dialogue, etc, etc, etc.

Is it possible that ALL major media outlets have completely missed all these things that the average gamers were able to notice without any review training? No. The system for AAA reviews are rigged.

If anything this whole MGS V review fiasco has done is point the direction to the only honest game sites on the web. If you want honest game reviews, then check out the 2 lower scored MGS V reviews on metacritic and you'll know who to trust for future game reviews.

I'm very disappointed in the state of video game reviews now. When all credibility is lost, there is no going back.

@LauriAJ: I don't see them releasing two versions, A) it increases the COGs, meaning they will need to manufacture two SKUs for each game, and B) I think Nintendo's biggest problem is nobody wants to make games for it, so merging the home console and handheld divisions into one division means they increase the Nintendo game library.

Also cartridge storage has finally over the years managed to catch up with disc storage, so one cartridge for one console both home and handheld is finally possible. You can get a 16-32gb SD Card for dirt cheap nowadays, meaning Nintendo can store their games on SD and still be able to get all the big AAA games that are huge. This wasn't possible in past, but you can now easily release a game on a 32gb SD Card for relatively cheap.

The only reason to keep an disc drive in the dock is for Wii and Wii U backwards compatibility.

@Sepewrath: The console would stream game data via WiDi to the dock, you use the Tablet to control the game, the dock just acts as a hub that connects the video and audio signal to the TV, and has an optical drive so the console can be BC.

You never actually need to connect the Tablet to the Dock.

Imagine the Wii U, but imagine if the console part of the Wii U was inside the Tablet Controller, not in the console itself. Now imagine the console is just a simple AV output terminal with a optical drive, but all the console elements are housed inside the Tablet portion of the system. Pretty much exactly like the Wii U, but move the console into the Tablet Controller and leave the optical drive inside the console. That's the concept.

This means that your console is no longer tethered.

@oi_oi_spanky: They won't be going up against Apple, the NX is a gaming unit, its a Tablet with physical controls attached to it, think the Wii U Tablet but imagine the console is built inside the tablet.

The problem with the Wii U was that the console was inside the part that connects to the TV, while the Tablet had nothing inside. The NX will have the whole console inside the Tablet, and the part that connects to the TV will only house an disc drive that's it.

So what you have with the NX is what Nintendo wanted for the Wii U which is a console that can be played anywhere, at home and on the go. Its the ultimate gimmick, a home console and handheld console built into one device. No one has ever done that before. A Tablet with physical controls that can also connect to your TV via a dock. So when you get home you just turn on the NX Tablet and it'll connect via WiDi to the dock and your games will now be displayed on the TV, with the Tablet showing secondary info.

This is what the Wii U should have been, the biggest mistake with Wii U was the hardware should have been inside the Tablet not the console.

Seen a bunch of NX topics about power, and price and power vs price. But didn't see any about its so called Brand New Concept that Nintendo is afraid people will steal.

Here's my prediction.

NX is a Wii U looking Tablet with the entire system inside the Tablet its CPU, GPU, RAM all inside the Tablet it will have a docking base that connects to the TV via HDMI with a rom drive that can read Wii, Wii U games and transfer them to the Tablet for BC, but the main console is inside the Tablet so you can take games on the go, the Tablet part of the console will have a SD slot for NX games, but no disc drive, all NX games are released on proprietary SD Cards so you can buy them anywhere and play them on the Tablet NX on the fly.

All future Nintendo games will be designed to run under he NX banner using one single dev kit, there will be no difference from home version vs handheld version of games, only one cartridge of a game will be released that can be played at home or on the go. The NX Tablet will stream the game to your docking station when its being played at home, and will play it off the Tablet when you are playing on the go.

As time passes, Nintendo will release different versions of the NX Tablet in various sizes like the Apple Ipads and Iphones, but the core specs will remain the same. It will not compete directly with PS4 and XB1 since it's a considered a mobile device.

That's my prediction. Share your thoughts and your predictions.

You see the evil caused by headphones. Their damage to humanity knows no bounds. Cramping our style and stunting our hair growth. I bet they are tied to premature baldness as well. ;)

If you're at home gaming why do you care about your hair?
