Nintendo's NX: Another Verse in the Company's Love Song to Apple?
-Jeremy Parish
One of my favorite trainspotting projects over the years has been watching the way Nintendo hardware takes cues from Apple's machines.
<snip>
Back in the early '90s, Apple produced a laptop called the PowerBook Duo. The computer itself was remarkably humble; in an era where computer makers worked vigorously to cram as much hardware as possible into laptops, the Duo stood apart for its apparent deficiencies. While it shared the same rugged, shell based on Sony's revolutionary design for the PowerBook 100 as the rest of the PowerBook line, the Duo had a smaller screen and lacked certain niceties, including the all-important diskette drive. In effect, it was a stripped-down PowerBook, trading away power and features in favor of a compact size.
What distinguished the Duo 210 and its successors from modern bare-minimum systems like the MacBook Air was the fact that the Duo's limits weren't defined by its innards. Rather than include a disk drive, it featured a custom docking port that allowed it to plug into a special desktop housing capable of expanding its potential.
The DuoDock essentially resembled a desktop PC minus a processor. The CPU's role was served by the Duo laptop, which could plug into the DuoDock and turn the shell into a fully functional computer. Not only did this grant Duo users potential access to a full-sized keyboard, a proper mouse, media drives, and more, it also expanded the capabilities of the Duo. The DuoDock included a separate graphics card that allowed the laptop—whose native screen was relatively low-resolution and limited to greyscale—the visual features of a proper computer, with better pixel resolution and full color.
In short, this is precisely the hardware model being talked about as the format Nintendo purportedly plans to use for the NX. And it's a great idea. How great would it have been if the cramped New 3DS version of Xenoblade Chronicles had been a game you could plug in to a dock to enjoy the same game, except with the visual sheen of Xenoblade Chronicles X?. Forget crossplay or Transfarring (R.I.P. Kojima Productions); this would be the same game, played on the same system, but with features and visuals appropriate to its current format? If NX does take the Duo approach—and I hope it does—it would be, in effect, the Wii U concept done right. And, of course, it would be one more checkbox for my ongoing Apple/Nintendo parallels list.
Chỉ chạy game digital thì hơi buồn. Khỏi sưu tầm, khỏi mượn đĩa, trao đổi này nọ. Muốn mượn thì vác nguyên cái máy về cũng mệt.
nếu nó là support console thì nó phải hỗ trợ ngược lại cho wiiU hay 3ds chứ, còn nếu ko thì bản thân nó là 1 hệ console mới rồi. Sao nghe mâu thuẫn vậyPatent nó để thế thôi, chứ tôi nghĩ là NX chỉ là một dạng support console, dùng để buff sức mạnh của các console khác như RAM, CPU, VGA,v/v ... đồng thời giúp console chơi được game của handheld và ngược lại
Backward compatiable không biết có không nhưng nếu có thì quá tốt, đỡ lo lúc launch không có nhiều game để mua

vậy ko có nút vật lý à.100% cảm ứng sao chơi lâu dc
2 cái ngũ giác là phím cứng đó.
thằng nin lâu lâu cứ cởi từng nút thế này kích thích nhỉ -)))))
