Project NX <3 Pokémon?

Earlier today Nintendo held a press conference in Japan, while initially the conference was held to announce a partnership that will allow for Nintendo franchises to appear in mobile games such as those on smart phones and tablets, the company also announced their latest hardware project codenamed NX.

Though few details were given, it was announced that a new membership service would tie together Nintendo hardware with PCs and mobile devices. It’s obvious that these announcements will mean big changes for Nintendo, but what does it mean for out beloved Pokémon?

Could we see an even bigger push into the online realms for the series? Pokémon featuring more in mobile games, as the recently release Pokémon Shuffle suggests? Or something completely different? Let us know what you think it could mean for the Pokémon series!

  1. For everyone who was worried…

    The Mewtwo DLC for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is “pretty much done” according to Sakurai!

  2. Nintendo is stupid, instead of building on their existing hardware and doing something sensible they are going to make a Console that “Changes the way we play” they said the same thing about the WiiU and we all know how that turned out..

    Will it kill Nintendo to make a console for normal people and with hardware that is not decade old?

    Think about it, if the DS had the capabilities of PSP than D/P would have had XY style visuals..

    If the 3DS had Vita level power than we would have had HD Pokemon and Smash that doesn’t suck

    • Oh…..my…..god………I think I love u……It’s like u looked directly into my brain and typed out how I feel about Nintendo. Sometimes I feel like we’re a very rare breed of Nintendo fans, ones that can think critically about the product as a whole. lol

      • Boo hoo the wiiu has 1080p graphics instead of HD. That is not thinking about the product critically. All you are doing is bitching about the graphics instead of how it actually works. The guy above said that smash 4 sucks because it isn’t HD. Nintendo isn’t stupid because they don’t have high enough graphics. Nintendo is stupid because they can’t market things right and copyright infringe people who try to help them.

    • I would like that too, but those things cost money. Nintendo didn’t know how well the systems would do until they were sold. The more they invested in a product, the more expensive it would’ve been, and the fewer they sold, the less money they would’ve made. The 3DS, for example, was over priced when it first launched. Almost no one bought it, and that resulted in a loss. Nintendo, unlike Sony, focuses on family, social, usually affordable game systems, not high powered luxury consoles like Sony. If the DS had been as powerful as the PSP, no one would’ve been able to take advantage over it. Higher resolution also comes at a price: battery power. The 3DS is already doing things that the Vita can’t do, namely dual screen gaming and 3D. I would love an HD screen on the New 3DS, but the battery would’ve been even worse. Besides, Nintendo targets younger people, and as previously said, families. Kids could give less of a shit about tech specs as long as they get their Mario and Pokemon.

      • Yeah but if the WiiU had hardware similar to The other consoles I’m pretty sure Nintendo would have GAINED money

        • Yeah it’s a little too early to b disappointed with what we have yet lol My biggest problem with Shuffle, which is y I won’t get it, is that it seems to b basically Pokemon Battle Trozei which was released last year….only a few differences……..it’s a money suck on a game that was released already….I don’t like it lol

  3. Fianally I found a temporary fix for disqus. i have to use incognito mode -.-

    Anyways, I mainly hope that the NX isn’t too gimmicky. It should be easy for 3rd party devs to port their games over there.
