As the holidays approach, we are getting closer and closer to Nintendo revealing their upcoming console, codenamed NX. Heck we met even get a real name for the thing!
Rumors have already detailed the NX to be a portable console with detachable controllers and the latest leaks have gone as far as to say that it will be a region free console. Now, industry insider Emily Rogers has rounded up the rumors, confirmed what she could and listed what she believes will be the final product.
Of course, everything is a rumor until proven otherwise by Nintendo – so take it with a grain of salt.
Here is what you can expect from the final retail product:
- Custom Nvidia GPU chip
- Region Free (No region lock) <– Confirmed this.
- Six inch (6.2 inch?) multi-touch screen (Heard nothing about a stylus)

- The right analogue stick will be below the face buttons.
- Camera and microphone are not built into the NX portable device.
- Cooling is still a little noisy
- Detachable controllers (motion controls and next-gen vibration technology) <– Everything Laura Kate Dale said in her article was correct.
