Nintendo NX: New game-changing details found for 2016 console



The Nintendo NX could feature exciting new gaming features



 

NEW details revealing more on the Nintendo NX may have been revealed that will certainly support recent claims from the games giants that they are building something unique and different.

 

Little is known about the new console and Nintendo have promised that they will not be revealing more about it until 2016.

However, a new patent filing might have revealed more on what is set to make the Nintendo NX update standout from both Sony’s PS4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One.

The new drawings show a gamepad unlike any other, featuring a touchscreen panel that covers the whole front of the device.

The front-facing buttons would make way for context-aware touch, allowing for a whole new level of flexibility that would let users turn the controller and have visual effects.

 

The Nintendo NX's new controller device?

 

The more classic features of shoulder buttons and analog sticks are also part of the design, although the card slot and built-in speaker could mean gaming on-the -go.

It has already been reported that Nintendo intend to release a console that would work more like a gaming platform and feature a handheld device.

The whole controller would function as the screen and would work well when it came to Nintendo’s console market and introduction to the mobile world, both being playable on the new device.

The new patent also connects well with recent reports that Nintendo will use a Sharp's free-form display, which can be shaped to many specifications.

 

There is no indication that this patent will ever move past an R&D phase, although its impact would no doubt offer a clear alternative to those PC gamers looking for a unique console experience.

President Tatsumi Kimishima recently promised fans that the NX will not be a glorified Wii U.

“[NX] is something unique and different. It’s something where we have to move away from those platforms in order to make it something that will appeal,” he told Time Magazine.
