Nintendo NX To Receive High Profile Port From A Big Third Party Developer – Rumor

Feb 26, 2016 at 04:17pm EST

There have been plenty of rumors circulating on the yet to be unveiled new Nintendo console, currently known as Nintendo NX, despite Nintendo trying to keep its details secret. Recently, yet another rumor on some of the games currently in development for the console has surfaced online.

Nintendo NX

According to NeoGAF forum member AmaterasuOni, one big third party developer is porting a huge game to Nintendo NX at the moment. This user has apparently participated in a closed beta for this game.

I already know that one big 3rd party dev is porting a huge game for NX at the moment. I was in the closed beta of this game and the partnership was kind of spilled out by a mod.

NDA, so no sugar, sorry. But just letting the Nintendo fans know that they're going to get some good 3rd party love on their new console. 🙂

As the rumor comes from anonymous source, we must take it with a grain of salt until an official announcement comes in. However the source has been verified by one of the NeoGAF moderators, so there may be some truth in what has been revealed by AmaterasuOni.

Last week, we have reported that the Nintendo NX is apparently going to be released later this year, with Zelda NX as a launch window title. Details on the console's functionality, specs and controller interface are still secrets that are apparently deeply hidden within Nintendo, according to the source. Last week, it's also been revealed that Nintendo is going to release a yet to be announced Wii U game, which is probably a new entry of the Paper Mario series developed by Intelligent Systems, alongside the already confirmed titles for the year such as Star Fox Zero and Genei Ibun Roku #FE. Like today's rumor, this one also comes from an anonymous source, so take it for what it is.

If the Nintendo NX is indeed getting released later this year as rumors indicate, we will surely learn more about the console in the near future. We'll keep you updated on it as soon as possible so stay tuned for all the latest news.
