It appears that the still unreleased Nintendo NX is gaining more admirers, especially in the field of electronic gaming. Just recently, the CEO of Ubisoft gave nice words about Nintendo's upcoming powerful home console, saying that it has the ability to take in more fans playing console devices.

As reported by IGN, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot spoke in front of the attendees of the company's quarterly earnings conference this week, stating that the Nintendo NX is a very impressive offering to the gaming world. He said that NX is a great console that will "help the industry continue to grow." He also predicted that Nintendo NX will be able to bring in more console players, and make other casual players return in playing home consoles.

Most details regarding the Nintendo NX are still scarce, and the Japan-based electronic gaming company has not yet made any confirmations about the console's special features and expected date of release. However, they already mentioned that they are targeting a March 2017 launching for Nintendo NX. Tech Crunch reported that by the time of its release, the gamers will be surprised by the NX's hybrid design. It is reported to be a completely portable device which can be used as a mobile gaming device and a living room console at the same time, very different from their current console, Wii U.

According to the latest rumors, Nintendo is shaping up NX to be the company's biggest home console yet. It appears that Nintendo is planning to design NX as a superior device to go against PlayStation Neo, which is reported to be an updated version of PS4 with 4K screen resolution feature. To match this feature of PlayStation Neo, Nintendo is expected to boast an impressive screen display resolution. It is also inevitable for Nintendo NX to go against Xbox Scorpio and possibly Xbox Two in the coming years. To make Nintendo NX as powerful as possible, it was reported that the console will use the new and improved version of Polaris GPU created by AMD.
