If they really are and it isn't as false as "Three-pillar strategy" of old, I would say this is a baaaad move. It'll only confuse customers if they're promoting two fully portable consoles.
Investors are idiots. They don't really play games. They're at the top of the chain, so they're not the common customer and thus do not behave like they say the common customer does.
I know there's cause for caution regarding the Switch but it would be horrible if they just complied to their demands and released a regular box that plays games. There's no place for Nintendo in that regard.
I have wondered why they pushed the anti-bullying focus so much but didn't back it up with a logical insertion of the theme into the game or good gameplay. That would make people take the message more seriously.
400+ comments in just 2 hours? THAT shows you the gravity of this reveal.
Also betting the trailer has "301+ views" on YouTube.
Honestly I was looking up NX news every day for the past month in the run up to this, and it's great to have that off my shoulders at last! Oh yeah, and the console looks good, obvs.
Maybe I should stop being a snob who only uses animation software on PC and get this. I had so much fun hobbying away at Inchworm in the past, it would be fun to do it all over again...that said, not sure why the trailer uses a 4:3 aspect ratio...
Also, Flat Black, AMAZING that you have an online gallery! You deserve for this app to be successful. You're doing eerything that Nintendon't!
Potential? I guess. Abysmal visuals? Oh boy yes. Even if the game is good the visuals may send out the wrong signal if they don't at least look competent for the 3DS of all things.
@C-Olimar That doesn't really mean much. I mean, having Bayonetta of all people dress up as Nintendo characters is a more of an exclamation mark than having Samus run around in Axiom Verge.
I can't believe anyone would care, and I don't really understand why NL consistently gives the dude a pedestal.
One thing: Are the games all similar or exactly like the original assets in terms of gameplay? If not then I dont mind to much. I found a game called Lost Soul aside a few weeks back. It uses a ton of UE4 assets but the finished project looks like a really impressive cross between FFXV and Devil May Cry
It had something for everyone which is always good, but honestly there was little to be particularly excited about, unless you liked Pikmin or Mario Maker. The stuff announced was decent, but nothing particularly striking. Mario Maker 3DS could have been brilliant but...well, you know.
The amount of spotlight that 3DS gets compared to the Wii U makes me doubt that the NX is what's described in the EG rumours. Why keep as much support going as there is if you're going to shunt the platform for something new in a matter of months?

Re: Here Are Your New My Nintendo Rewards
Never thought I'd say that My Nintendo is worse than Club Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo Switch to Reportedly Use USB-C for Charging, But Dock May Not Support External Hard Drives
I guess Nintendo is smartening up then. Sad that hard drives are going but from a technological standpoint I can understand why.

Re: Nintendo of Europe Formalises the Nintendo Account 'Just for You' Birthday Deals
Remember when we were excited about My Nintendo? Not that I DON'T dig this, it's just...a nudge, rather than a shove for the service.
Re: Ice Station Z Is Bringing Open World Zombie Horror To The 3DS This November
Potential? I guess. Abysmal visuals? Oh boy yes. Even if the game is good the visuals may send out the wrong signal if they don't at least look competent for the 3DS of all things.
Re: Random: Game Boy Compatibility Warning Screens Are The Best
"Both Monochrome and black-and-white consoles".
Think about that phrase for a second
Re: Skylanders Creator App Turns Your Wii U Skylanders Into Physical Toys
That's actually a really cool idea in terms of creativity and business. Nice thinking Toys for Bob!
Re: My Nintendo Adds More Rewards for Discounts in Europe
I'm hoping they're saving actually good content for NX.
Re: Review: Super Hero Math (Wii U eShop)
@Moon Yeah, what a horrible company name. Setting themselves up for the fall.
Re: Interview: Shin'en Multimedia Explains How FAST Racing NEO's Future Pack DLC Got on the Grid
Was just playing it today. Naturally it's one of the best games on Wii U!
Re: Review: Polara (3DS eShop)
I miss the days when CIRCLE Ent. was easy to diss on
Re: The Xbox One Now Has A Nintendo 64 Emulator
Sounds like you Xbox One owners better get downloadin' before Mirosoft steps in!
Re: Atlus Issues Apology for SMTIV:A Translation Error
@AfterAnAutopsy People are calling Atlus fans terrible over this? What site is that?
Re: Review: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Wii U)
Why does NL not answer the obvious question, why didn't this review come out earlier??
Re: Xbox One NES Emulator Passes Certification, Could Hit Console In The Next Few Days
@Luna_110 You could say that about any emulator, regardless of platform. I think this is just an opportunity that everyone just assumed was closed off
Re: A Samus Costume Was Almost in the Wii U Axiom Verge Port
@C-Olimar That doesn't really mean much. I mean, having Bayonetta of all people dress up as Nintendo characters is a more of an exclamation mark than having Samus run around in Axiom Verge.
Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
Why is the comments section over an unspectacular dev so toxic

Re: TANK TROOPERS Reporting For Duty On 3DS This Winter
Is the art by the guy who was Splatoon's art director? Because it sure looks like that.
Re: Poll: Did the 3DS Nintendo Direct Boost Your Hype for the Portable's Line-Up?
It had something for everyone which is always good, but honestly there was little to be particularly excited about, unless you liked Pikmin or Mario Maker. The stuff announced was decent, but nothing particularly striking. Mario Maker 3DS could have been brilliant but...well, you know.
Re: Jools Watsham Unveils Chicken Wiggle - A Platformer and Level Creation Tool Coming to 3DS
Looks interesting. I'll be sure to give it a shot. That said, Ithink a level editor for Mutant Mudds would be particularly cool!
Re: 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st September
The amount of spotlight that 3DS gets compared to the Wii U makes me doubt that the NX is what's described in the EG rumours. Why keep as much support going as there is if you're going to shunt the platform for something new in a matter of months?
Re: Renegade Kid Closes as Co-Founders Launch Separate Studios
Haven't played many Renegade games but I do respect them as a studio. I friggin love Mutant Mudds as well!
I think this is for the best. This way both developers can put more focus into the games they love.
Re: Rumour: Potential Nintendo NX Details on Screen Size and More Do the Rounds
@Dakt She had Miiverse 3DS pinned down the day before it arrived.
Re: Rumour: Detachable NX Controllers Will Offer Wii-Like Motion Control And Advanced Force Feedback
For anyone wondering, all this means is that the detachable controllers will have motion and pointer controls.
Re: Review: The Legend of Kusakari (3DS eShop)
Dunno why people are ripping at it for obviously being a parody of Zelda.
Re: The Nintendo 3DS Is Getting A New RPG Maker Game
@Emile Operations Brave and Bluebird show that fan demand does work. It has to be extremely well organised as well as being relentless.
Re: The Nintendo 3DS Is Getting A New RPG Maker Game
Sounds great! I do hope we'll be able to make sprites that don't look like crappy 16-bit imitations...
Re: Talking Point: Mario's Cameo in Rio Showcases Nintendo's Enduring Brand Power
You bet I'll be making the pilgrimage in 2020 (because it'll be a good excuse for a weeb like me to have a look around)
Re: Review: Zero Time Dilemma (3DS)
How late can a review be? Still, at least we got it. Was waiting to hear from you guys on it!
Re: Italian Bishop Likens Pokémon GO To Nazism, Claims It Turns Players Into "Walking Dead"
Well, Pokémon received a papal blessing in the past so I bet this guy's thoughts are fueled generally by him not getting it
Re: Video: This Fast Racing Neo DLC Footage Will Melt Your Eyeballs
Can we play the courses online? Not that I can ever get a match...
Re: Video: It's Amazing How Many Great Mega Drive Games Genesis Owners Missed Out On
I'm from Europe and can confirm this is European propaganda
Re: Create A Shaun The Sheep Themed Level In Super Mario Maker, Win Original Artwork
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You think a company called Nintendo of UL & Ireland would cater for Ireland? Hah!
But really, that is how it ends up :/

Re: Ubisoft Has "Surprises" Yet to be Announced for Nintendo NX
@LeRaposa
"Beyond Good and Evil 2 would not be acceptable either. Third party titles should never be exclusive, especially on inferior hardware."
Damned if you do, damned if you don't...
Re: Ubisoft Has "Surprises" Yet to be Announced for Nintendo NX
Just announce the thiiiinggg!
Re: Video: This Raspberry Pi-Powered, 3D Printed NES Mini Puts Nintendo's Effort To Shame
@SanderEvers Hating? It's simply called Not Burying Your Head In The Sand To Nintendo's Mistakes.
Re: Wall Street Journal References Nintendo's NX Being 'Compatible' With Its Smart Device Games
Man, it's weird to think that the NX may just be a Shield tablet with bells and whistles.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo NX Deal Is A Vindication Of Nvidia's Shield Program
@Dakt Perhaps, but it's pretty major news. This is a realgame-changer for NX.
Re: Nindie Favourites Coming To Wii U Disc Under Nintendo eShop Selects Label

Re: Nintendo Shares Slump Dramatically as Company Cites "Limited" Financial Impact of Pokémon GO
So their shares went up because investors were literally too stupid to realise who was actually involvemed in the game.
