This doesn't make sense really. Auto stereoscopic 3D doesn't halve your total resolution (only horizontal pixels), and we refer to 3DS as 240p.
If NX has 3D display (which I doubt sadly) it'll still be at 540p+.
MH3G, MH4, MH4G, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, P&D Z and Tomodachi Life have reached a million at least.
Satoru Iwata said nintendo-like profits with a clear fiscal year, they cannot archive this without a new generation with new hardware and for your question i was more talking about
people who was convinced that nintendo its not gonna let wii u die next year for that i´m sorry.
They cannot unveil support for a console that is not officially announced.
The exact quote was "It's higher than you think, but lower than some hope for." in a discussion between some claiming 480p as "realistic for nintendo" and 1080p as "what nintendo should do".
So hence the speculation 540p or 720p.
No mentions of 3D.

It's whooping the PS4 and XBONE in Japan! All you have to do is ignore those pesky handhelds and mobile phones and the fact that it is being replaced in the next 12 months or so!

They didn't announce a date for DQX PS4 did they? In the stream I thought I heard the word bundle?
You don't really need much analysis for this. Multiplat development is the way forward for Japan. As long as NX is comparable in power to PS4 and has UE4 support then we'll see a lot of announcements like this.

I'm guessing that the NX version of DQXI is based on the 3DS version and not the PS4 version. Not sure an open-world UE4 game can be adequately downported to mobile hardware.
Why wouldn't they, they even have a version of UE4 mobile. Sure it'll be less detailed and lower resolution (540p instead of 1080p) but otherwise there wouldn't be a reason a modern handheld couldn't handle it. DQXI PS4 looks nice, but not that nice that it seems impossible to downport. A game like that could've been on Vita if it would've support UE4 (which officially VITA does not).
Hope the 3DS version comes to the west though, I really like how it looks.

I'm not questioning whether NX can run the *engine*.
Official PR from SE:
"Additionally, we are also considering launching on Nintendos in development NX platform." (for both DQX and DQXI)
In the conference they said it more straight to the point, if I'm correct.
I think that officially being the console still to be revealed, this is the "best" they can do. being the console still to come, it could also happen to see the NX versions cancelled, of course., but to me the message seem pretty clear

I think they could get more sales with staggered releases though. Kinda like GTAV did in west.
I agree - whilst it still is uncertain - late announced ports usually negatively impact the original platform's sales (Biohazard 4 for GC and PS2). Though of course this all depends on the strength of the original platform, and I guess is a case by case scenario.
I think the NX version of DQXI might be a hybrid of both versions? An 'International Version/Game of the Year' scenario? Who knows, it's all pure speculation at this point, this announcement, non-announcement of NX support, is anybody's guess really.
Apologies for my inconsistent rambling!

Nintendo will surely have some exclusive content lined up for launch too. This is really good news for the NX.
This is what I'm expecting.
If NX is indeed a mobile hardware then won't it have 3DS BC making having anther 3DS-esque tailored version pretty much futile?

720p please. None of that wannabe HD/qHD frauding.sörine;173199222 said:
Take it as, it sucks that the game might be delayed again and the boom will be over by then lol
That's 100% correct interpretation I guess.
Well, a second season for the anime was confirmed... maybe they should simply wait until then in order to release the game
Yeah, I think that too.
First of all, the original post had various suppositions to start with, but let's play the game:
if NX will indeed have at launch those "old ports from big brands" such as MH, DQ and YW, I'd say that it would be a great launch window, if they will also offer exclusive contents (such as, I don't know, Spla2on!?).
I can't really see DQX and XI as negative things for NX, if they will be actually confirmed.
I don't know what to thing at all about NX and about DQX and XI for NX.
I'd just say that the NX mention during the SE conf was a pretty solid, consistent and positive fact for NX, even if it's "tentative" up to now.
That will be a huge day for MC thread!
Btw, I'd like to underline how SE really was able to deliver satisfaction (so far among "us" gamers, let's say) to almost everyone. Their recent turning point into more "gamer oriented" decisions is not just a PR statement to me, but an actual fact.
It's not neither that easy or common to see two "so different versions" of the same game being presented in such a good way, fitting each own potential in such a compelling way.
Actually, I totally quote you in saying that both versions of the game seem able to stand up in front of the huge DQ "mainline" title hype, imho.
Its fairly clear cut.
The plan of PS4/3DS tells you exactly the state of the industry in Japan, the PS4 (if anything) is there for the west. They're not crazy enough to let their franchise rot on PS4 in Japan but, all the same, the 3DS version is going to eat heavily into the PS4 sales same as 3DS Smash ate into Smash WiiU... which ends up becoming a bit of a self defeating prophecy in "saving consoles" but theres only so much money you'd burn on a hopeless struggle. The only difference between the two games is graphics from what has been shown (and possibly some of the overall world design) with the 3DS, of all things, seemingly having more features and nostalgia hooks. I would expect sales to be heavily lopsided, and the story being the same is going to greatly limit double-dipping outside of the core players, who probably already own all the relevant consoles.
The reason the NX showed up is because SE is also hedging their bets on building up a new fanbase on the next handheld because even if it will probably sell less than the 3DS, it will still likely dominate the market.
The market is currently volatile and heading towards a big inflection point when the 3DS retires. Either consoles magically recover (they won't, and the PS3's ability to sell software is anemic and the Vita is a path already laid low), or publishers who want to sell games in Japan needs to hope that the next handheld does well and replaces the 3DS. If nothing steps up, without the 3DS, the market losses half of its entire software moving capabilities. Obviously, though, Nintendo would not want that to happen and is likely making deals with various developers in Japan. This is probably one such deal and, more than likely, means that SE has their hands on development blueprints or kits for the NX.
Worlds of Final Fantasy was announced as a "console exclusive" at E3. So PC and maybe mobile ports down the line but NX is probably a no.
With this NX announcement in the wild these sort of "reverse" speculations (we went from "everything is 3ds" to ps4 to nx) will become a thing from now on :]
Wasn't it first on? Or did I misremember?
If that's the case, then you're right and I simply remembered wrong.
Uncharted IV coming to the NX!?
well, I'd avoid to "lock" any third party game behind the "impossible" label for late ports, imho. but...
I totally agree, and I hope this will not become the next toxic topic in MC thread (no offense to Vena that brought that up)
It was announced as both. "First on" and "console exclusive". In comparison, FFVII was just announced as "first on" so that could see Xbone/NX ports later on.
Also from a coding perspective, the NX version of DQXI will be the PS4 version given the engines used and cloistered toolsets for the 3DS. The UE4 game is going to be scalable with the source available through UE4 to be ported wherever needed. The 3DS game seems to be build on something similar to Nintendo's/Bamco's Smash engine... if it isn't just exactly that engine.
How odd. Then to correct myself above!

That's a point if this is the PS4 version of DQ 11 will this mean it's more likely we'll see a port of FF7 R on NX, Xbox is dead in Japan, and the final fantay franchise isn't that strong on xbox in general, NX assuming it's powerful enough to actually run it does seem like a good strong bet on a worthwhile porting (assuming the Japanese console industry doesn't completely impode which it might).
I guess everyone is happy with the DQ11 announcement. well I guess not for PS3 owners.
DQ8 will sell 1.2 mil like every other remake.

Out of curiosity, where are you seeing this?
I'm looking at the various press releases.
World of Final Fantasy: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/press...R_THE_FIRST_TIMEIN_WORLD_OF_FINAL_FANTASY.php
Final Fantasy VII Remake: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/press...E_ENIX_ANNOUNCES_FINAL_FANTASY_VII_REMAKE.php
Now compare with Nier 2, where exclusivity is explicitly mentioned: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/press...IX_ANNOUNCES_NEW_TITLE_IN_THE_NIER_SERIES.php
Unless they want to completely galvanize the PS4 sales with the 3DS version, yes. But, the 3DS version seems much further along and there's always the possibility of delay on the PS4 version.

Did Luigi mansion or DK ever get there?
I don't think Kirby did....
Luigi's mansion made it.
