Flauber

I know analysts are analysts, and that money people are not in this for the fun. But apparently analysts and investors would only be happy if the Switch was a pure jump to mobile.
If there was a single moment with a child on that commercial people today would be complaining that Nintendo was not focusing on getting out of their perceived demographic.
In the meantime, the only people that matter, the gamers, are loving Switch.
In one year this thing will be outselling the Wii U and all of this analysts will be praising what an amazing move it was.

I was blown away, actually, when the whole hybrid rumors started I was very weary and didn't like the idea at all. But the trailer totally changed my mind.
Also, on the whole touchscreen debate, I think it does have touchscreen, it sounds like a missed opportunity maybe not for gaming, but at least some functionality. (Also during the trailer you can sometimes see the screen full of disgusting finger marks, it could be just that the actors had to do several takes, or people were touching the screen with their greasy little and not cleaning it afterwards!).

Well, great, what do I do for the next 11 hours, it's not like I'll be able to sleep now, anymore.
"check NL" I thought "there will be no new info" I said.
Thanks, @ThomasBW84

@ThomasBW84 Oh, great! Now I'll be very disappointed if the NX is not a toaster "more powerful than the Sun itself," that "transforms into Optimus Prime to fight the evils of the world."

@Bow yeah, I was really hoping for a ghost eevolution this gen, but clearly there won't be any new eevees. =/

I'm actually starting to accept that Nintendo might only announce the NX next year, maybe like January 12, or something.
I just don't think it makes sense anymore to announce it before the Holiday season. It wont stop people from buying PS4s and XBOnes during Christmas, so, why do it?
Everytime someone thinks about the NX the internet implodes, best to keep people acting that way, and keep the console on everyone's mind, than to announce it and get everyone disappointed for the NX not being the best microwave/coffee machine ever , like the whole PS4 Pro disaster yesterday

It's sad to see this filth in Nintendo's history. But it will make money, If this kind of thing helps keeping Ninty making real games, I can look the other way.

"Boohoo I don't have a pokéstop in my house with every single pokémon spawning at my living room, fix it Niantic"

Hey, guys, do you get the feeling that Nintendo is just messing with us? Like "lets create a lot of patents just barely related to each other and watch as the Interwebs catch on fire"?

I love that that Grimer is named Trump

@NintendoFan4Lyf Not even "multiple sources" simply "a number of sources"... zero is a number

The Eurogamer original article says "Sources say" in the beginning then all the rest is like "the NX does this or that" with no source at all.
Smells like clickbait

Wow, it's been a year already? It still makes me really sad whenever I remember.

I also have a good feeling about the NX.
It will be the best microwave ever. It will even have a portable microwave, for the food on the go.
You can quote me on that

@ImDiggerDan That's great to hear. I'm glad it worked out in the end.

@bluedogrulez there's actually more evidence it's a cake than a system for 12 year-olds... You could be on to something...

Best console ever, mine is still hooked to my TV. If you don't love the N64, you never had one.

@Warruz People will always complain of everything.

I'm so jealous, you guys in the UK get all the cool stuff.

guys the stream is happening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rispy_HaWY
but is all in Japanese and apparently is just recap

Gotta hate those kinds of people, if I got one of those, I wouldn't give it away for the life of me. Fells almost disrespectful.

Oh, that's good to hear! Lets wait and see what else the got up their sleeve

It's so sad that this list is true. I used to love all of those franchises. Even CoD back when it was good, like... 10 years ago?

Oh, come on, Alex, Bulbasaur is awesome

I kinda like how it looks. It's an weird and absurdly silly Prime, but, why not? Lets see how it turns out.

Ignoring the name for a second, I quite agree with the financial assessment, here. Now is possibly the best time to invest on Nintendo stocks, maybe even a little after E3.

@abbyhitter you are asking gamers to be patient and reasonable, it doesn't work. I'm actually impressed no one is screaming and arguing that we still have no evidence that the NX will be "capable of making you the perfect cappuccino while you're waiting for games to load"

@MarioLazor true, but they don't intend on showing anything NX related until the right time. So it wouldn't make sense to show those games now.
I am speaking from a what they can show us point of view.

You know, after some time to think about Ninty's decision, since it was announced, I have kinda come to agree with it.
I know it's not a popular solution and that people will be upset for it, but not presenting anything other than Zelda is actually the right move.
Imagine Nintendo's situation, they probably don't have any big things coming to Wii U for the rest of it's life cycle except for Paper Mario and Zelda.
Now imagine a direct and they only show those two games. It will suck and everyone will scream "it sucked!", "why make a presentation to show that?"
I know people have hope, but sorry, there's not going to be any Pokémon Wii U or Metroid Prime Wii U, having a presentation will just receive hate all around from unfulfilled unjustified hopes.
For now, focus on Zelda, make it big, really BIG, like Fallout 4 big.
And when it's time, Introduce the NX with style and without sharing attention with anything else. Don't try to "win E3" against the others, win your own thing.
But for now, will have to have some patience, which is not something gamers are known for, but I do believe it will be worth it.

Well, GameStop is a disappointment for everybody, we all hope they die soon. Who cares what their ceo thinks.

@abe_hikura Just saw that as well.

I think Nintendo might be scorning E3, like saying it doesn't hold that much significance anymore.
Because if they did their own event sometime in the future, distancing it from E3, it would be insanely effective. Right before Sony releases ps4.5, would shift everyone's focus to the NX.

@abe_hikura I want to know that as well.. The only info I've seen about this is from that guy, the rest of the articles all just self-reference

I actually agree with the 2017 release, for all accounts I think it is the best move for Nintendo. Move it away from this year's (few) game releases.
What I don't get is the E3 absence and focus on LoZ, I love Zelda, but... something is... weird. Especially if you consider Loz is also coming for the NX.
We are missing something here, guys.

@abe_hikura "April 27, 2006, immediately before E3", yeah, you are right. Apparently during financial report then.
Well, who knows. Not getting hopes up, anyway.
I would actually prefer if they did everything on E3, though.

I find it funny that people expect major reveals from financial report. Of course Nintendo won't say NX's real name or the games they plan on releasing.
That's E3 material.
The more they keep the information secret until the E3 presentation the stronger the hype train will get.
Tomorrow, today in Japan, they'll probably just reiterate the things they've already said on the last Direct, and maybe hint at a new console coming soon.
Just relax, people.

Well, here we go again, in a couple of minutes some one will post a list of "NX's power specs" with this information, maybe a fuzzy picture, and the interwebs will be set ablaze again. Get your marshmallows ready.

In Louise Belcher's words: "Yeah, I don't know about this. That's a lot of different stories..."

I love this commercial, but every time I see it it reminds me o Mr. Iwata as a puppet and it still makes me kind of sad.

Nintendo needs to stop with this gimmicky controllers! This looks like a bloody potato!

I actually agree with you, I hate social media but miitomo has got my attention. It's not a social media per se, and at the same time you kinda get to know your friends a little better.
Sure it's not a game and can get boring if you take it too seriously, but seeing Miis being silly and reacting to answers is funny way to unwind every once in a while.

I love how people go batsh*t crazy over a joke

I just love the "Inkle" joke

You can actually find the app in a google search instead of a google play search: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nintendo.zaaa&hl=en
But despite the Install button, it just says all my devices are incompatible, can anyone download it?

Wow, a lot of damage control so no one remembers that their super affordable VR experience costs $600 plus the high-end PC, oh, wait.

I got one! Awesome! Thanks, Nintendo Life!

Everybody wants Nintendo games on their systems, of course.
But Nintendo clearly knows it would effectively kill their console division.
So, Phil, sorry, you're a cool guy, but no thanks.
I'd say bring XBox's games to Nintendo, but, what? Halo? Meh, just forget it.

Oh, thank god... I was about to sell my Wii U, thought this humongous gap would never filled..

Gotta add my voice to people defending The Stick of Truth, it's really good.
And N64's South Park game despite not being amazing wasn't bad at all, had a lot of fun with it, and the multiplayer was far from terrible.

When you ignore people whining because this game doesn't look like what they think a cross over should, or what game the original logo seemed to indicate, this begins to look like a pretty nice game.
And Barry is possibly the coolest character so far, also he behaves like a Sim, apparently...
