Is this an upgrade for the 3DS, the Wii U or both? I was looking at picking up a couple of the new 3DS, doesn't seem worthwhile now.
To me this seems like an entirely new console, actually. I wonder if this is the "Nintendo NX" they were talking about or if that was only the codename for this project...

The game he's playing at the beginning is the new Zelda, which is kind of Skyrim-esque, if that's what you're talking about. Edit: oops, watched it again and yep skyrim is also in there. Sorry.
Skyrim (possibly the Skyrim Special Edition remastered version) was also shown in the video.

We usually all bring our own. ;-D. But I'm glad Nintendo doesn't seem to be giving up local MP: It's the best part of having a console, and dropping it is a REALLY BAD IDEA.
I still have fond memories when we gathered together after school with friends to play some Mario Kart or Smash Bros. It's still damn fun!

probably the same X1 SoC as Nvidia Shield? Or a new X2? Thought AMD would be their supplier before, but I don't think they have any mobile chips

#35As a piece of hardware, this looks really cool and innovative. But I don't actually know if the product-market fit is there.

#36Very clever. Anchor for home, and again trying for the mobile area where their creativity really worked (3DS). I'll be curious in the system specs and the decisions they made - such as having that apparent card slot. Hooray for the headphone jack. I'll never understand the marketing motivation to show a bunch of people getting together for a social gathering and togetherness, then cram together to watch / play on som…
Yeah, the two people playing Mario Kart split screen on that thing was laughable.

#37This looks amazing, and the fact they got Skyrim in the trailer is a great promise of its graphical prowess. I just hope they take online gaming seriously this generation.
Skyrim is a five-year-old game at this point. It's not exactly an indication of graphical horsepower.
