my Nintendo NX concept idea

[Nagby]

Hello, yes, this is self promotion

 

here is the presentation :

 

i made those a pretty long time ago, but the video just got done
so it is inspired by old informations we had about the NX/Fusion (high performance terminal console mostly)

 

I mostly emphasized on having an original shape for the terminal (even if it has a very square front)
but also being functionnal (for cooling and charging pads on top)
and for the DS, the various handling possibilities (normal 2 screen for a DS, closed with only the transparent screen visible, open at 180° with a screen on each side, or in a tent for 2 players with a screen each)

 

so what do you think about it?

Interesting, though it'd likely cost way more to produce than people would be able to afford or willing to pay for a Nintendo console.

It's interesting that you've decided to go back to the good ol' volume wheel.

My biggest criticism about this is that it goes against a lot of what Nintendo's industrial design philosophy is.

 

I mean, think Steve Jobs and his insistence on a compact, almost fanless machine with a clean design.

that was induced by the old rumors of very high performance consoles

and doing an inexpensiv one would have been less free for design

i really want this to come back

because you can change the volume at the speed you want, and see the volume level, even if the device is off or just freezed

so you won't have the awkward splashscreen sound in a crowded room

the old DS had a slider but it is a bit harder to control precisely than a wheel

i had a laptop from 2006 with a wheel for volume and a mechanical lock for the screen, that was the good old times
