Nintendo is sticking to its plan of remaining silent regarding the development of its next gaming platform, but a new detail about the Nintendo NX is currently circulating online.
Metro UK recently spotted the newly registered patent of the Nintendo NX. This reportedly offered a glimpse of what the company wants to offer when it comes out sometime next year.
Based on the patent application number 20150343306, the soon-to-be-released console has a portable feature which can be attached to a "supplemental computing device" that will require added "processing resources."
This could mean that the console can handle games at an almost "real-time speed," but players can opt to add other extra wireless or physical computing devices to enhance the graphics and performance of the upcoming Nintendo gaming product.
The device is also described to have the capacity to connect to different multiple supplemental devices that can either be wired or connected through WiFI or Bluetooth.
Just like any other patents of consumer and electronic products, the reported patent for the Nintendo NX provides minimal description regarding the upcoming device. But it is described as a "form of any suitable type of computing device, e.g., mobile, semi-mobile, semi-stationary, or stationary."
There is also a report saying that Nintendo NX will possibly come out with a kind of wearable device that could send messages and perform several kinds of tasks.
The patent also mentions that the system that Nintendo will use for its upcoming Nintendo NX can be described as a computer cluster instead of the usual gaming platform. While the game streaming technology is still in its early stages of development, almost all other game streaming services like PlayStation Now and GeForce Now used by Sony and Nvidia can be connected to the new game console.
Nintendo has yet to confirm if the new information about the Nintendo NX is accurate.
