Different sources suggest that the new Nintendo NX will be revealed some time this month. If it does get revealed, there are a few changes to be expected. According to rumors, the Nintendo NX will use cartridges and not discs.
Nintendo's Decision To Go Old School In 2016
The reason why the company will go retro this time is to lure more casual players into going back to gaming. It has been mentioned that the company's target this year is the market of the casual gamers. If previous gaming devices are appropriately aimed towards hardcore gamers, Nintendo is changing their strategy for the Nintendo NX.
However, this doesn't mean that the said cartridge is the same as what players from the past have used. Nintendo is expected to bring in something new to the table to make gaming a more fun experience to players. It was said that the Nintendo NX will bring in a mix of home console and handheld gaming unit.
Needless to say, cartridges have a lot of advantages, Forbes reports. It is more durable and it lasts longer. With that said, Nintendo is expected to make the new gaming device a bit more appropriate for kids, which is one of their primary targets. Portability and durability are pretty much two of the most important traits the NX should have.
