Nintendo will reportedly provide first glimpses of the Nintendo NX before 2016 comes to a close, something that could dictate the games it can cater to. With reference to its portable nature, one game expected to be included is “Pokemon Go.”
Pokemon CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara may have confirmed just that when he mentioned something about the Nintendo NX coming with handheld possibilities, the Wall Street Journal reported. It was here where Ishihara revealed that the upcoming game console will be more of a cross between a home console and a handheld.
In the same interview, Ishihara also confirmed plans of bringing “Pokemon Go” to the Nintendo NX. With no word yet on the features of the hybrid game console, there is no official word for now on whether it will be a brand new or updated version of the hit augmented reality game.
Adding “Pokemon Go” to the “Nintendo NX” will require close collaboration between Nintendo and Niantic. Aside from the famed augmented reality game, expected to be among the games playable for the Nintendo NX are “Zelda” and “Mario.”
Nintendo has kept a tight lid on the possible features of the Nintendo NX. It was a no-show at the E3 in what Nintendo guru Shigeru Miyamoto calls to fend off imitators, which seemed to be referencing to rivals Sony and Microsoft. Hence, all gamers can do for now is turn to the grapevine and consider the speculated features.
Among the unconfirmed features include seeing the Nintendo NX featuring a dual-screen display. This could be somewhat similar to the Wii U though with more control functions for better gameplay.
It is also rumored to be coming with interchangeable parts and a provision that would allow gamers to easily hook it up to their TV screens. Virtual reality support was also mentioned, but Miyamoto was reportedly not impressed with the technology which was on full display at E3, the Associated Press reported.
With nothing reliable for now, check out the concept trailer for the Nintendo NX below.
