Nintendo NX: Console/Handheld Hybrid
One of the most intriguing rumors surrounding the Nintendo NX is one about what it actually is. Everyone expects it to be a new console because that’s what Nintendo needs in order to combat Sony and Microsoft in the home space. But there’s one rumor that says it isn’t just a console. According to the rumor, Nintendo’s next platform will actually be a console/handheld hybrid.
Other than rumors concerning the platforms controller, there has been no other news to state whether or not this is true, although it is interesting. Nintendo is known for thinking outside of the box in terms of gaming, you only need to look at the Wii and Wii U to see that.
However, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima did say that the Nintendo NX would be entirely new and nothing like the Wii U during an interview with Time Magazine. So you may want to take this rumor with an extra large grain of salt.
