There are no Nintendo NX specs and release date yet but the company is already planning to give away the device as prizes for the best Splatoon players on the planet.
While everyone else is busy comparing the PlayStation Neo and the Xbox One S, Nintendo is making Splatoon players excited by offering several NX devices as the prize for top positions. The best Splatoon players will be offered a Nintendo NX as a prize when it finally launches in early 2017.
Nintendo is opening the Go4Splatoon tournament starting on September 11 and will run for six months so that players across Europe will be able to compete with each other for the Nintendo NX, Digital Spy has learned. Lucky players will be able to get the new console should the company push through with the development as intended and no delays are encountered.
Splatoon is Nintendo's version of a multiplayer shooter that is also nonviolent compared to others. Unlike the likes of Doom, Call of Duty and Battlefield, Splatoon does not show any gore or wound.
Players splat each other with limitless paint for points. The top players in Europe for Splatoon will be the ones rewarded with the Nintendo NX after it launches in March 2017, WCCFTech reported.
Some people are already disappointed with the recent Nintendo NX rumors and leaks as it has been revealed that it might not be as powerful as many think. The NVIDIA Tegra processor could power the device which means that it would not hold up well against the GPUs of the PlayStation Neo from Sony and the Xbox One S from Microsoft.
Instead of competing with the said consoles through the power of the hardware, Nintendo claims that they will best them with their quality content. It is no secret that Nintendo's consoles have good games with long playthroughs but it was not enough for most people who wanted the best of the best for their console gaming experience.
Splatoon players have about half a year to compete for the free Nintendo NX in 2017. The actual reward date has not been set yet as the company might still run into some problems with the development of their device.
