I'm just not sure the handheld 3ds JRPG audience translates to the console one currently. And plus the 3ds had a bigger install base altogether.
But outside of Xenoblade, #FE, and an upcoming slap in the face, RPGs have been pretty nonexistent on Wii U in the west. Even Wii didn't have too many. And they didn't do that well.
so console wise? It remains to be seen imo.

NLG is about 70 people. MG is under 30 people.
Well, every new console is a chance to build a new audience. We will see.

If it is optional it probably wouldn't cost $200 lol.

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
Square Enix used the same bumper at the end as E3 2015 in their conference and uploaded to Youtube.
It couldn't be any clearer.
...You expect them to exclude platforms on the ending bumper...?
That's how rumors work. Very rare is something confirmed unless it's straight from the company PR.
Even Zelda NX is a rumor until Nintendo says otherwise. We just assume it's coming because it would be dumb to send that large of an investment to die on Wii U.

He's guessing that it'll be $200 because Miyamoto said the Gamepad was $100?

Hint: the price wasn't the issue
... Welp. Now I'm hoping that everything is false. I really don't want to have to pay $500-600 for the console and games lol
EDIT: Well, it could just mean that the tech is built into the box.
Well and the Wii U pad had unnecessary shit like gyro/motion, a camera, IR, etc built in. The device itself was fucking amazing for me to off-tv play in bed but had so much more useless crap in it.
Edit: Square fucked up and accidentally announced DQ11 on NX didn't they?
I'm not seeing the issue...
The remote play tech is built into the box and the $200 add on is the optional thing? right
It doesn't say NX, does it? Could be PC, Smarthphone, Xbox, or all or none.
DQXI was like the first "announced" game lol. Whether it's based on the 3DS or PS4 version I have no idea.Yeah. To get the JRPG audience, they should try and get:
DQ11 (which seems kinda probable)
KH3
FF15 or FF7 or both
Their own RPG (Xeno or a new IP)
Then a good amount of AA JRPGs like the 3DS has.
And maybe make that upcoming slap in the face franchise into an rpg again...
FFXV has a chance.
Xenoblade 3 is happening according to its director.
I'm very sure Monster Hunter, Tales, and late ports of star ocean and such will make their way over to NX. Japanese devs need a second console to sell their console RPG's on besides the PS4 and aging PS3 in Japan.
Could be like the ecto goggles or a mini spectral analyzer. I'd be down for that.
It's not like Luigi's Mansion doesn't already borrow a lot from Ghostbusters anyway.

Gyro is not unnecessary shit. It'll stay on every controller Nintendo releases as it should.
IR it can ditch (it was useless), Camera can go too.

If I'm reading it right, he's saying the screen controller may or may not be optional and yet, the system has remote play built into the box unlike the PS4, which implies it has to come with the controller.

Man, I still remember that moment where the Square Enix announcer said DQXI is going to be on NX. My jaw dropped and I could not believe they announce a NX game before Nintendo. Although later the website revised the statement to be "considering", I think it is a lock that it will be on NX.
I don't think it's optional if they are remaking two Wii U games that use the gamepad extensively.

That he's saying that he doesn't know if it's optional or mandatory but then says it's mandatory
To experience remote play right now you need to buy a vita ($170) and a PS4 ($350) right now.
If Nintendo sells it out of the box it'll likely be much cheaper since it won't need a functioning handheld and just a dummy controller.
Man the camera wasn't used much at all was it? Jeez. Yeah, really if they cut that and the IR and use a smaller screen they're already shaving some money off things. Maybe they could actually reach a reasonable price
No way gyro should go though. Works great with a screen and it's not like Nintendo are the only ones using it

I worded it poorly.
The screen controller will likely cost $80 or so, it's not going to be the price of a handheld. So it'll be cheaper to use remote play with the NX compared to PS4 and Vita. Will likely perform better too. That was just speculation on my part. It's even noted.
No lol, it's just no proof whatsoever. It indicates that it might be released on a platform not named PS4, could be PS4K or PS5 for all we know.
yeah it should be standard in all controllers tbh

Gyro is really good and it's in mostly everything now a days from Smart Phones, to 3DS/Vita, to even PS4's DS4.
IR was never used, I think? The camera was for very minor things like the Mii builder which isn't very useful and for the nintendo land mini games with the camera

Where did the rumor came from? I know FF7R is going to be released on PS4 first. I'm not even aware that the game is exclusive to ps4 only. I meant we could see this message in FF7R E3 2015 trailer.
I also believe Cloud being in Smash helps the case for it coming to NX. I know they said he won the popular vote but it could easily have been manipulated.
Um that was bayonetta..
Square Enix is going to put its stuff on every single device capable of it. I mean they are wanting 10 million sales of FF15. Even while Final Fantasy has been on a decline sales wise and 13 only hit around 7 million on consoles. There is no way they are growing 3 million+ sales on PS4/XBO only. That is not to say NX will sell 3 million either cause its very doubtful but if they expect the series to experience growth it will be on more than just PS4/XBO.
The fact SE has embraced UE4 further backs the on everything they can get it

What can't be clearer? Its coming to PS4 first? Yeah I see that
Some rumors people be knowing for sure. I feel like assuming isnt a rumor. I feel like a rumor is something like Trev said. Its known not assumed but still not confirmed by the company PR.
I agree. Though I think Sony is still using 6-axis gryo alongside Move lights which has inaccurate tracking and latency. Industry leading tech means a lot of things as vague as it sounds. 9-axis is leading industry tech for motion controls.
9-axis gyro is also less effected by magnetic interference which is a problem for 6-axis too.
In theory, if Nintendo is willing to break even or take a small loss at first, a screen controller could add as little as $20-40 to the BOM as compared to a standard controller. With how cheap tablets are these days, it can't cost too much if they use the correct technologies right?
Yeah, I can't see SE making a claim like that if at least a PC version isn't planned. Nintendo's brand is still dam strong in Japan though, so I think an NX version is worth it especially if it ends up being cheapest way to get FFXV running at 1080p without reconstruction.
I would like to remind everyone that new 3-5" screens have been ordered by a partner from Sharp to ship this year. That sounds like what we're looking at.
I read the quote wrong. It's for shipments in general of 3.1-5 inch screens increasing. http://www.geek.com/games/nintendo-...set-to-release-this-year-report-says-1645848/

As in the functionality.
One source speculated it but I cannot confirm it. Free form would be likely for the handheld imo. Nintendo is apparently a confirmed customer of sharp free form, are they not?
I legitimately believe if FFXV and VIIR come to NX, it'll outsell the Xbox One versions in every market but nowhere near the PS4.
For example, if it sells 10M worldwide the breakdown would be:
PS4 7M
PC - 1M
XB - 750k
NX 1.25M
Just posted this in another thread:
I didn't say not to launch in Japan at all. I just meant that in regards to the console market, Japan is basically tier-2 at this point. Sony has been treating Japan like tier-2, and yet the PS4 is still getting pretty much all the Japanese console games. Exclusively even for many of them. Nintendo should probably just do the same thing. If it doesn't fuck up, you could very well see FFXV, DQXI, and probably a bunch of other niche Japanese things show up on NX. Not to mention the idea of having the console play all the handheld's games.
Yes there should definitely still be a handheld, and the handheld would probably be seen as the flagship of the platform as far as Japan is concerned. The Japanese developers currently doing 3DS and Vita games would probably swap over to NX handheld, and those games would thus also probably end up being for the NX console.
Yeah, I gotta agree with that. PS4 has the lion's share demographic for JRPGs, Nintendo also has a good demographic for JRPGs. MS doesn't really have much of anything for JRPG fans.
Which is also why I'm still baffled by KH3 getting an XBO release though it will sell terribly there.
