Well, that definitely explains why it's called "double u" and not "double v"
"u" and "v" being separate letters representing different sounds is a relatively recent phenomenon. For several years (including around when "w" emerged as its own letter), they were still considered to be more or less the same thing, with "v" being used at the beginning of a word, and "u" being used at the middle or end. Capital "U" didn't come about until many years later still, so when "w" came into existence, "V" was still the "main" way of writing what we now use "u" for.

People want the NX to be a portable? What's with this? I'm hyped for a new home console, a portable system doesn't sound like something I'd want right now.
the current thought is its a home console that doubles as a handheld

I'm so excited for tomorrow.

I'm going to Wal Mart after work to buy coffee and energy drinks.

I'm gonna be one supped up hyped up taco for this 3 minute event.

You do not understand. Do not underestimate.

That'd be kind of weird, would that mean the controller would be like a Wii U controller, but it can work without the home system on, and the power of the system would really change between the home system and the portable, unless they're having the home system be a lot weaker for portability sake.

Kinda reminds me of Smash 3DS and Wii U's differences, and how 3DS held the Wii U back some, or at least, Ice Climber wise. :laugh:

I think it's one of the last 4 HQRs, SiIva has before the channel completely stops.

Anything keeping the Ice Climbers from returning is cool with me.

They merged their console and handheld divisions not too long ago.

The rumors of NX being an x86 home console like PS4 are full of **** and always have been.

Eurogamer's hybrid report has more credibility.

This is being treated as a home gaming system to not lose 3DS sales.

Glad the drought is finally over.

But I'm not going to have ANY expectations before the reveal (not even "confirmed" games or specs).

Well I can think of a few reasons


So because you can't effectively counter them and raise your skills (which is always possible) against them? Their fans and players should suffer? What he still said was pretty mean. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinions and all that. More power, such and such.

But for a major chunk of the Smash fanbase their cut has been the steepest one since Mewtwo in Brawl. If not worse. It wiped out a whole unique playstyle and franchise in one blow.

Every veteran deserves a chance to return if things permit and Sakurai or whoever the head of the next game is, so sees fit in my opinion.

It's still three minutes if we get games shown, we probably won't get titles at all. I doubt they'll just show Breath of the Wild to show off the graphics however.

Remember when the Xenoblade guy re-tweeted the one Smash trailer and it turned out to be Robin and Lucina?
"Say hello to my good buddy Shulk :)"

I know that was Sal Romano but I still laugh at that line.
