Some crazy rumors about Nintendo’s next console have surfaced

A pair of Nintendo NX-related reports have surfaced, offering a handful of potential clues as to what the company has planned for its next console. According to a post on Twitter by The Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki, Nintendo’s next console may work with other devices, including PCs, smartphones and other consoles like PS4. Aside from the fact that Mochizuki received the information from David Gibson, the Head of Research at Macquarie Capital Securities in Japan, an actual source for the information was not provided. As such, take this report with a grain of salt. Additionally, an apparent survey from GFK (a client of Nintendo) has surfaced online by way of Twitter user Liam Robertson, providing new details about Nintendo NX. In addition to mentioning connectivity between a handheld and console unit, the survey also highlights an achievement-based system, 4K/60FPS video streaming and “gameplay graphics” that run in 900p at 60FPS. Again, take these reports with a grain of salt, as Nintendo has yet to announce any specific details on NX. Just last week, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima outlined the company’s plans for 2016, reaffirming that we’ll hear more about the mysterious console later this year.
