Im folgenden Video siehst du, wie du consolewars als Web-App auf dem Startbildschirm deines Smartphones installieren kannst.

Bringt aber nichts, weil das Gamepad trotzdem voll beleuchtet wird...
Darauf wird es in den nächsten Jahren nunmal hinauslaufen. Nintendo macht mittlerweile 40% der Softwareeinnahmen über den eShop.
Sehe darin nichts negatives.
Thread is going a bit off the rails so I'm posting this shit again for people who honestly can't be bothered with reading the entire patent and I don't blame them
GAME CONSOLE NX
I simply "translated" the patent to the best of my ability, cutting out the fluff. There's a lot of fluff.
It's a game console! The example console has no disc drive. You connect it to a television and play video games.
The example is totally of a Digital-only console but this in no way restricts any other NX hardware to be exactly that, says patent. Digital-only can be made on the cheap tho, says patent.
Passage literally confirming NX device with disc drive (bolded is my notes):
The first basic program 24(NX kernel) and the second basic program 25(NX OS) also operate in, for example, a game apparatus including an optical disk drive or a game apparatus not including the internal HDD 13.
Other hardware configs need not neccessarily include an HDD. (Like, say a portable device? Hmm?)
Has HDD, Internet, CPU, GPU, RAM, like a home console would
OS Kernel has it's own memory, and it's fast so the console can boot faster
Can check if the main OS has been tampered with by checking additional storage and restore corrupted high-security data
OS has full multitasking support
You can download games to the console
Games installed to HDD
Games have code for more than one hardware configuration and the hardware determines what code is the right one to run (NX is a platform like iOS, duh it has this)
External hard drives can be connected and you can install games to them
Can emulate different HDD read/write speeds primarily for games that have special code for external HDDs, can seemingly pretend that the HDD is an optical disc as well. SPEED CONTROL
Controller with rechargeable battery (Pro Controller?)
Interesting passages:
Controller with screen. GamePad support? Could be new controller, too. Will probably have at LEAST the functionality of the GamePad.The controller 3 is provided exclusively for the game apparatus 1. The controller 3 includes a processor 31, a wireless communication unit 32, an operation unit 33, a display unit 34, a battery 35, a connection unit 36 and the like.
The operation unit 33 is constituted by a push button, a cross key, an analog stick, a touch panel or the like.
Can charge the GamePad equivalent by plugging it into the console.
Save files are stored on the HDD O_O OMG WOW
Bolded could be interpreted as being the oft-touted "high texture download" option.It is to be noted that the internal HDD 13 can store various data such as, for example, stationary data, video data, sound data, text data, additional data of a game, or data obtained through communication.
Can read/write SD cards. This allows for retail distribution or OS updates using SD cards. Really any data that you can think of putting on an SD card, can be used. No confirmation of anything.
Klingt nicht wirklich revolutionär.
Digital Only würde ich auch nicht wirklich schlimm finden. Ist halt einfach viel praktischer, wenn man nicht immer Discs/Module austauschen muss. Gerade wenn sie sowas wie Crossbuy für alle kommenden Geräte machen ist es doch gut. Dann kauft man einmal Mario Kart 9 und kann es auf all seinen NX Geräten spielen (Konsole, Handheld, Tablet). Und im besten Fall synchronisiert sich noch der Speicherstand automatisch über "Street oder Spot Pass".
Was ist denn mit Memory Card gemeint? Ist doch eine Karte die man in einen Card Slot reinsteckt. Heißt diese Konsole muss nicht unbedingt Digital Only sein sondern könnte genau wie die Handhelds auf Module statt Discs setzen.

Ohne optisches Medium wäre in Ordnung, allerdings dann bitte ohne always-online-Zwang. Allerdings gilt zu befürchten, dass aus diversen Gründen (z.B. um Software vor dem Start zu authentifizieren) genau das Hand in Hand kommen könnte.
Könnte auf Rückwärtskompatibilität zur Wii U hindeuten?
Eventuell wird die Wii U in die NX Familie aufgenommen und so auch weiter supportet (zumindest nen Teil der Spiele)
