Nintendo NX: 11 Leaked Details You're Not Supposed To Know

They're a fallen giant of the gaming industry, but the same intrigue will always swirl around Nintendo when plans are underway for a new console. They may be lagging behind Sony and Microsoft in the console department, but there's an undying feeling among gamers that Nintendo could restore their former glory if they could produce a machine capable of matching their ambitions, and their rivals.

Nintendo NX is the next big thing from the company, and though it is yet to be officially announced, details have started to emerge about what gamers can expect to see with the new console. Fans already know what they want, but Nintendo are notorious when it comes to defying every one of the conventions when it comes to hardware design.

The N64 will go down in history as one of the all-time great consoles, and while its successor GameCube failed to hit the heights, it will go down as one of the most under-appreciated gaming machines. But the problems crept in when the top-selling Wii came into existence. It was a revolutionary move for gaming, but it alienated a huge chunk of the fanbase who wanted a truly next-gen console, not a console your Gran would love to have a go on at family parties.

Nintendo had an opportunity to push forward, but instead they dropped the horribly underwhelming Wii U, and the gap between themselves, and Sony and Microsoft widened. The NX needs to be a massive upgrade from the company, and based on some of the leaks, it could well be an immense leap forward.

Here's some of the most exciting news circulating about Nintendo's next hope.
