I don't think they will reveal this week, I think they want to give a heads up before it. On the other hand, Emily said this or next. So she might still be right.
@Therad Well, she said news for both weeks. So I'd guess an announcement of the reveal this week, the reveal either at the end of the week or the beginning of next week, and then the investors meeting.
With only 5 months left, they have to reveal it relatively soon, so I'd expect NX news in the coming weeks regardless of what the ''leakers'' say. It's not rocket science anymore, and Nintendo won't stealth-release this system.
Who wants to bet Emily Rodgers is wrong about the reveal this week?
I'm going to guess not. She was adamant that it was going to be revealed in October, so she's remaining consistent on this point. I think she might be right.
Of course, all of us who realised that September wasn't going to happen immediately started to consider the last two weeks of October as the most obvious time for an announcement. So whether she'd be right because she knew, or because it was the most obvious date is another question.
@Nintenbomba128@skywake What makes a remaster of a past 3D Mario a bit more likely is the fact that the "new kind of" 3D Mario isn't coming out any time soon.
"We're always challenging ourselves to create something new, so hopefully you'll see a new kind of Mario in about a year or two. Maybe next E3 we'll be able to share something."- Miyamoto
@dtjive Why not? Supporting 4K isn't difficult. HDR support would actually be nice, regardless of resolution.
Because historically Nintendo haven't chased graphical fidelity, seem to generally want to cater to mass market thus slapping on 4k sends a mixed message, have explicitly stated that for them it isn't about power and graphics. Finally almost all rumours seem to point to it being an underpowered machine with 1080p resolution at best.
See, I never get this. It just isn't true. Nintendo, for the majority of its lifetime, HAS pursued "graphical fidelity."
-NES: Against Atari and a few others to create games with enough graphics that the player could actually distinguish the story and what was happening
-SNES: The classic war against SEGA, each system striving to tout more "bits" and processing power. The FX chip for certain SNES games was a HUGE deal. I remember getting an entire VHS in the mail from Nintendo Power detailing the development of Donkey Kong Country and the lengths they went to for the graphics.
-N64: Nintendo's push into 3D gaming. Sure, they stayed with the cartridge, but they were pushing their games into the 3rd dimension right along with Sony.
-GameCube: As we know, the most powerful console of its generation.
The ONLY TWO that haven't followed that trend are the Wii and Wii U. So I'll never understand where you people come off with the "Nintendo has never been about graphics/power/etc." line. It's just factually incorrect. You're either willfully ignoring the past or you didn't live through it.
That's the Xbox. Of course, not denying the GC was powerful.
Sorry. As someone else said, it was the N64 that was the most powerful for its gen. So just switch the two, I guess. But yea, GC was wicked powerful as well.

Well a remake/remaster of any classic Nintendo game is always on the cards. Especially if they want to pad out a launch lineup. I just wouldn't be making any assumptions. We know almost nothing of the games for the NX in the first year so it could get anything.
@rallydefault
To play the devil's advocate. Nintendo's portable line has been almost comically under powered. The Gameboy in particular but it was also true of the GBA, DS and 3DS. Also most of the consoles you mentioned were advanced in some respects but underwhelming in others.

@Moshugan
Well the 3DS launched with Pilotwings and Nintendogs. And at it's unveiling the big release they highlighted was Kid Icarus Uprising. So yeah. The NX could launch with Luigi's Mansion and Waverace. I don't know if you were joking or not but really, think that's at all a crazy suggestion.
I think a remake of a 3D Mario/Zelda/Metroid would be better. A new entry entirely would be better again. But I wouldn't rule out the possibility of getting a whole pile of unexpected content. We might even get a new IP entirely for all we know.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Luigi's Mansion 3 as a launch title.... we're certainly not getting a 3D Mario game on release day. And if Waverace and/or 1080° were to make a triumphant return I'd be very happy.
@-SD- Luigi's Mansion 3 is definitely something I think we could see at launch. Surprised it wasn't on Wii U but then that console died so that's why. I could see it using a dual control setup.
@-SD-@Moshugan Why so certain about no new 3D Mario at launch? Miyamoto could have just been trying to throw us off the scent for maximum effect when announced.
Luigi's Mansion 3? I dunno. Admittedly, I've only played a few minutes of the original and none of the second, but have a feeling the concept is too limited to warrant another title so soon, unless they mix it up somehow.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE That'll be one of those 'tell them what they want to hear' rumours, me thinks. Although, I personally wouldn't want to hear it as I don't think I've made 10 eshop purchases since My Nintendo Account launched.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Wait how does that even work? I'm assuming it's fake, but for the sake of playing along; Do the games have to be bought after the introduction of MyNintendo, or during the entire Wii U's lifespan. Cause if the latter is the case, then every Wii U owner on this forum gets an NX for free..
That is one of the silliest rumors yet. If they had said something more reasonable, like the return of a program similar to digital deluxe, I'd be more receptive. But lol at 90% discount on the console and games.
