Tech enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for Nintendo to reveal something about the highly anticipated Nintendo NX console release date, specs and price details. While nothing much has been officially announced, a lot of rumors about the upcoming gaming console have been hitting the web for quite some time now.

According to ValueWalk, Nintendo NX, which is expected to be Nintendo's most powerful console ever, will give a tough fight to Sony PS4 Pro and the Microsoft Xbox One Scorpio. Reports are that the Nintendo NX console will come out as a powerful hybrid handheld gaming device. It is rumored that the NX will debut with the best features of both home and handhelds consoles.

 In fact, Mr. Tsunekazu Ishihara, Chief Executive at the Pokemon Company, revealed in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that the upcoming NX console will change the concept of what it means to be a hand-held device or a home console. He confirmed that the Pokemon Company is making games for the Nintendo console. However, he did not reveal anything about the game titles which would be available at the console's launch, reported Heavy.com.

Talking about Nintendo NX specs, the gen-next gaming console is expected to come with its own touchscreen LED display and a detachable control system which can be connected to a TV via a docking system. The device will reportedly have two detachable controllers on either side for added flexibility. If reports are to be believed the Nintendo NX will use the upcoming powerful NVIDIA Tegra X2 chip which is expected to feature four ARM-based Cortex-A57 cores and two homegrown Denver2 cores and it will use Pascal architecture for its GPU.

Some of the gaming titles which are expected to come with NX include "Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," Pokémon franchise games, "Dragon Quest X," "Project Sonic," "Dragon Quest Builders," "Just Dance 2017," and "Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time."

Nintendo NX is rumored to get a March 2017 release date. Don't forget to check with SWR for more Nintendo NX latest news, release date updates, specs and gaming titles.
