Respected Japanese paper Nikkei asked Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima what kind of game machine the NX was. “At this current stage, I’m not able to say,” Kimishima replied. “However, it’s not merely the successor to the handheld 3DS or stationary console Wii U. This will be hardware that’s been made with a new way of thinking. I’d like to announce more particulars regarding its specs and how it works another time this year.” Click to expand...

Sorry to post yet another Nintendo thread, but I don't think this quote from Kimishima is getting enough discussion/speculation (despite being posted in other threads).What should we/can we read into this?If it's not "merely" a "handheld" OR "stationary console," what the hell is it?I know Iwata said repeatedly that it wouldn't be a hybrid, but things have changed with his passing and that quote sounds hybrid-esque. Not being "merely" a handheld or a console could imply that it's both at once.Or it could imply that there will just be a lot of hardware options out there to play all NX games I guess.Sucks we have to wait so long to even no what the NX hardware is in general.
