Welcome to The Refresh, a weekly series from TrustedReviews where we pick out the week’s highlights from the tech world.
This week’s top story:
Nintendo NX – Nintendo’s next-generation console, codenamed NX is reported to be a hybrid portable console powered by Nvidia’s Tegra X1 processor, according to reports from Eurogamer.
It’s rumoured the NX’s hybrid design will feature detachable controllers – so you could use it like a Nintendo DS and and then dock it at home to play on your big TV – offering a seamless transition between handheld and home gaming.
It’s also been predicted the NX will use cartridges instead of optical discs.
The NX is expected to be unveiled in September followed by a March 2017 launch.
