Imagine this if you will, a world where a console would be semi-announced. You knew its codename, you knew who made it, but you knew nothing of its specs.

This fabled piece of technology, shrouded in mystery. You don't know what it looks like, you don't know if it plugs into your TV. It could be handheld for all you know.

Is it also a phone like the Nokia N-Gage? Is it 3D compatible? Will it sing "Soft Kitty" when you're sick. You just don't know.

Now, this much is pretty normal but imagine that you can actually preorder this thing. Or at least you can from EB Games in Australia....

Are you excited yet? No, nor me really, personally I'd wait and see what this mythical console will actually be, but it appears that Nintendo have gone down the innovative, strange route again by semi-announcing the NX. 

And that's all we know.

We can specualte enough to say that after Nintendo announced a deal with mobile game publisher DeNa, that this will be a mobile platform to supercede the latest round of 3DS consoles, but we could also speculate the notion of playing zelda on mobile phones.

I said earlier that I wasn't excited, but I'm definitely interested. More on this mystery when we have it.
