Nintendo NX News, Release Date: More Ubisoft Titles; Console To Use AR Instead Of VR?

Fans haven't gotten any official word from Nintedo regarding NX yet, but with some features revealed, we might be looking to Nintendo NX's bright side soon enough. Especially with Ubisoft bringing in more titles.

While we've already discussed some of the possible features of Nintendo NX, it is also not news that the console may also be able to play games for smartphones through some smart integration.

Just about a week ago, Eurogamer also reported that Nintendo NX will really be a hybrid with its detachable controllers and transforms from a Wii-U looking handheld to a foldable tablet for movie viewing. It could be as shown in this mock-up image courtesy of the site.

These features strongly tie up to Ubisoft head of EMEA Alain Corre's statements in a recent interview.

"We announced that we're developing Just Dance for NX and we have other surprises that we will announce later, but we also believe Nintendo has the power to reinvent the way families are playing," Corre stated.

"Nintendo is a fantastic powerhouse of brands that are really cherished by a lot of fans and families... I am still impressed by the re-occurrence of success and appetite even today for the Nintendo franchises on the current system." he added.

Finally, Ubisoft expressed its great interest with AR possibilities that proved to be worth taking a shot after the success of "Pokémon GO." The company is currently developing a game that uses the technology and there's a very good chance that this might be for the Nintendo NX.

Earlier this year, there were rumors that the Nintendo NX will get Augmented Reality functions given the rising popularity of the feature, but this is still to be taken as a grain of salt since Nintendo dismissed the idea of including "VR" as they were not "ready for it yet."

Stay tuned for more Nintendo NX news and updates.
