Nintendo NX (Pikapatch)

The Nintendo NX is a ninth-generation hybrid console released by Nintendo in early 2024. It acts as a semi-successor to the Nintendo Switch and notable for having a heavy focus on mobile-based utilities besides games.
== History ==
Since late 2022 to early 2023, rumors have been spreading that a new console basing off of the Switch's success is in the works, likely due to Nintendo pushing out as many games as they could and sending emails reminding fans to replay various notable titles such as Super Mario Odyssey and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, it would not be until at the end of a Nintendo Direct in June 2023 where the presentor took out a glimpse of the new console before leaving. The console would later be revealed at the end of another Nintendo Direct in September of the same year, said to be released sometime in Spring of next year.
Every following Nintendo Direct leading up to its release would drop brief showcases of its capabilities as well as teasers of planned games to come until finally releasing in May 2024.
== Hardware ==
The Nintendo NX's basic hardware capabilities bare a resemblance to that of the Nintendo Switch in which the user can choose to either play it on a nearby screen connected to the dock (which is lighter this time around) or take it on the go. The handheld version itself in particular is a tablet-like device with controllers that can be stored in and taken out by will, allowing the user to play it either as a mobile-like device or as a classic console and even allowing accessible motion controls.
== Software ==

=== Play ===
Like other previous Nintendo consoles, the main section of the console's interface contains a series of games that the user has recently played. The full list of games said user currently has can be accessed. Up to 80 games can be owned this time around, and can be sorted into folders. 
=== Nintendo Plaza ===
One of the Nintendo NX's main selling point is the Nintendo Plaza, an interactive section that bares a resemblance to StreetPass Mii Plaza from the Nintendo 3DS and to an extent, Miiverse from the Wii-U.

== Reception ==
Reviews of the Nintendo NX have been relatively positive, with a majority of them relating to its surprising flexibility and replenished "charm" that felt previously absent from the Nintendo Switch. However, critics say that the console feels a bit suspiciously similar to the Nintendo and that it relied too heavily on its gimmicks and success as well as other consoles of the past.
== Trivia==
*The console shares its name with the Nintendo Switch as before its full reveal.
*Plans of the console being revealed at E3 2023 have been speculated, but were later scrapped due to the event's cancellation.
*A service similar to Nintendo Switch Online was planned for the NX. However, this was scrapped likely due to following criticism relating to the pricing/quality as well as providing more "charm" into online services.
**It is also implied that this is what inspired the console's main selling point; being more than just a gaming console.
