Let’s Play Video Games has followed up with a third report about the NX within the past week.

Based on what the site has heard from one of its sources (“working on an NX title set to launch Holiday 2017, corroborated and lined up with information from sources we have worked with during the past week”), it claims to have information about the layout of the current development kit. A mockup image can be seen above.

As we’ve previously heard, the NX is supposedly a hybrid console with detachable controllers. The split d-pad, A, B, X, Y, and a camera / share button are all there. As for the size, the source writes the following:

Since the launch of My Nintendo, users have been able to collect two types of coins. Members have been able to collect Platinum Points as well as Gold Points. With both, they were valid for six months after you collected them, and would expire after that.

Good news: Nintendo has now made a change to My Nintendo, and Gold Coins will last longer than before. Going forward, they’ll be valid for 12 months.

Here’s the official notice from Nintendo:

This week’s issue of Famitsu has an interview with Hisashi Nogami, the producer of Splatoon. One portion of the discussion touched on the game’s future.

Famitsu asks if it really is the end for Splatfests. According to Nogami, it was originally decided to run Splatfests for a year. Nintendo was able to continue those events, but they feel now is the right time to have them come to a close.

As for the future specifically, Nogami feels that the game is done. Nintendo has stopped with Splatfests and updates, but they’d still like to build excitement through events such as Splatoon Koshien tournaments. When asked about something like a sequel, Nogami said that Splatoon has been raised together with the fans who have been playing it, and they’d like to continue heading in that direction in the future with the utmost care.

A few days ago, Let’s Play Video Games put up a report claiming that NX will make use of advanced vibration technology and motion sensing in new controllers intended to replace the Wii Remote. The site has now followed with additional unconfirmed information regarding the current version of development hardware.

Let’s Play Video Games writes that developers have access to a split d-pad as well as some sort of share button, similar to that of the PlayStation 4. The button features a small icon of a camera and will let users upload still images and video on Miiverse, Twitter, Facebook or YouTube. Images or video can also be saved to external memory devices, which then can be ultimately moved to PC.

Let’s Play Video Games offers up the following mockup:

Just like last week’s report, these latest rumors are unconfirmed. It’ll stay that way until Nintendo has something official to say about its new system.

Artdink published A-Train 3D back in 2014 in Japan. Last year, Natsume localized the game for North America and Europe. Now Artink is developing a new version.

A-Train 3D Neo (or perhaps we should call it A-Train 3D: City Simulator Neo) is coming to Japan on December 1. Other than the regular package at 4,860 yen, there will be also a “Beginner’s Pack” that comes with an official guidebook priced at 5,378 yen.

A-Train 3D Neo improves upon features from the vanilla version. Additionally, the eight extra scenarios that were offered as paid DLC will be included here. Compatibility with data from the vanilla version is planned as well.

We still don’t know a whole lot about NX. Within the next few weeks, that will hopefully change. When Nintendo is finally ready to talk about its new platform, we’ll actually learn about what this thing is, and we should be seeing some games as well.

It is interesting how a few games have been confirmed for the NX even though it’s yet to be properly unveiled. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest X, Project Sonic 2017, and Just Dance 2017 will be on the system. There are some other probable candidates like Pikmin 4.

In terms of unannounced titles, what do you want to see? What would be your dream NX game? Do share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
