Report: Nintendo NX is a portable console with detachable controllers
Nintendo is like, “You think we’re a joke for relying on peripherals? Check out this shit!”, not unlike a pissed-off, petulant teenager. I mean, that’s the explanation for it, right?
Watch: Nintendo’s ad for their NES Classic Edition is Playing With (1980s) Power
Oh man. Nintendo going straight for the nostalgic heart of my generation. Playing dirty, shameless, rotten, exploitive. And it’s working. It’s working!
Nintendo announces Mini-NES, “NES Classic”; 30 Games Built In
One of the dopest things that was announced this week while I was away from OL busy staring at the corpse of my Nana and attempting to will myself into another Realm was the “NES Classic” by Nintendo. It is, by all metrics, going to be a license to print money for the company. You know this by now, however I figured why not give OL citizens a place to talk about it, so let’s state it anyways. It’s a miniature Nintendo Entertainment System that contains 30 built-in games, comes with a controller, and will run a mere $ 60.
Nintendo’s new NX Console skipped E3 afraid of “imitators”
So, Nintendo skipped out on E3 this year. Apparently! Apparently it was due to a company-wide fear that showing their NX too early would lead to copy cats and imitators.
Watch: Hacked Nintendo Power Glove controls Drones. Futzing Drones.
This is the future I wanted. This is the future I demanded.
Nintendo NX dropping March 2017; ‘Legend of Zelda’ is a launch title
The new Nintendo console has been dated, arriving next year. That Legend of Zelda game we’ve all been sweating, because it was fucking promised for the fucking Wii U, has been dated as well, arriving next year (yeah, yeah, for the fucking Wii U as an afterthought whatever, fuck).
Rumor: This is the Nintendo NX Controller, it has no buttons [update: v. fake]
Oh. Well. Check it out. Another new Nintendo console, another wonky controller.
‘Paper Mario: Color Splash’ Trailer: Coming to Nintendo’s Wii U this year
Paper Mario game? Sort of dope. Sort of neat. Working against it in my eyes? It’s NOT MY GODDAMN ZELDA GAME I WAS PROMISED. #InfinitelyEntitled But seriously, it looks pretty dope.
Rumor: ‘Beyond Good & Evil 2’ being funded by Nintendo for Nintendo NX
Despite all my posturing, annoyance, and lip-smacking stupidity, I’m going to end up getting a Nintendo NX at some point. If only for what is guaranteed to be AAA titles from Nintendo themselves. But a niche sequel to one of my favorite games of all time? That’ll excite me, too. I don’t think it’ll gain Nintendo back many of the casual fans, but for hardcore ding dongs like me? Palms sweating.
