If Zelda is delayed again I'm going to be crushed.

No way would they miss realeasing this day and date with the system it would be a huge miss.

@hYdeks Oh they certainly will unfortunately.

Why Square-Enix? Why?

I just can't agree with the negativity as the Nintendo Switch as a concept is something I desperately want. I don't know if it's good for mass market consumers, but gamers I know are thrilled.

I'm a married father of 2 and that means a lot of shared TV time. Off TV play on the Wii U is great, but it's range is super limited and not all games took advantage of it. To be able to seamlessly swap to on the go play and take games with me is so exciting.

Thanksgiving next year? Typically in our setting we don't bring consoles, but a console that will have MK8 and likely Smash that I can stand on the table and go is incredible.

Personally the only reservations I have is online play and we can almost rest assured Nintendo will mess that up.

Phil Spencer is just a gamer that really enjoys gaming and thinks the machine looks cool. He doesn't pretend he doesn't play other games or systems and I think that's refreshing.

As dirt cheap as touch screens are lately I almost can't see a reason not to include it.

I'm so happy and relieved with what they showed. Nintendo absolutely nailed this one and I think it offers something wholly unique in the market. I certainly will be waiting on Skyrim Remastered now and will be buying any multi plats on the system for the very clear benefits of also getting it on the go.

They absolutely nailed it.

The wait for this game is torture.

Please let NX be the official name.

It was a kind of baffling demo that I feel didn't offer a very good crosscut of what you can expect from a Pokemon game. I mean, I'm not sure who it was for at all. Existing fans are already buying the game anyway and new fans wouldn't be lured in by that demo.

The most interesting part of the Pokemon games is catching and training your own Pokemon and that is tucked away in a sort of mini game after all the main content.

@Fandabidozi LOL. That comment was hilarious due to your abbrievieation.

I was interested in this especially considering the price so I decided to see what review scores were out there. While none were up for the 3DS the PSP version from years back got mostly favorable reviews.

Color me interested.

@mozzy1 I recently played it and I quite enjoyed it. Its only a few hours long, but you can grab it for $2 or $3 in the US so it is worth it.

I think one thing is painfully clear: this is certainly the handheld hybrid reported by Eurogamer. It just makes too much sense. Cartridges are also almost a sure bet if it is a handheld hybrid. Mario being on deck at launch I'm not sure I believe as I'd expect that Breath of the Wild will be all they need to sell like gangbusters.

The rest I give no credence, especially price talk. I'd imagine it comes in at $300 would be a safe enough bet, but charging much more than that would be extremely risky.

All of these rumors and wild speculation are in Nintendo's lap now. They've worked people into a frenzy and they are devouring every tidbit that comes out. Just announce the thing already.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Ah my apologies, I was assuming you meant it negatively.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE What does the reviewers nationality have to do with anything?

It was just a reference.

This dude talked in circles.

This is an incredibly frustrating situation I've been through as well. On top of that when I got a new system to replace it I had to go through a nightmare situation to get my nintendo account moved over.

I love you Nintendo but get your stuff together. I don't care if you say you aren't competing with Xbox and PlayStation fact is you are competing with them for my time and money. If this stuff isn't fixed I won't be buying an NX.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I didn't get to see your original post, but I saw the response to it. I was very surprised to see your post apologizing. That doesn't happen on the net pretty much ever. Kudos to you for doing the right thing.

I've never played a Dragon Quest. This may be my first.

I had no anticipation for this game, but everything I've read and seen have made me excited.

@outsider83 I can see that perspective and it does happen as a by product because everything in most people's lives of any significance is shared online with others. However, people tend to forget that real people work at these companies and it would only take one or a group of them to be moved and do this.

Everything nice done for someone else doesn't have to be to make a company or a person look better. It is hurtful to ourselves to carry that sort of cynicism and negativity around. The chance that this was done just as a nice gesture is even more possible than the one that it was done for good publicity.

@The_Dude_Abides Way to try to turn something heartfelt into cynicism and another forum post to comment with your disdain for Nintendo.

@crimsontadpoles It really is that fantastic.

Personally I think it signals backwards compatibility with 3DS for NX. I certainly can be wrong, but if NX is what it seems the people that would buy these games would have typically moved on to the new system. You notice none of these really push 3D or the second screen as a feature.

I loved the goofy stuff. That is what makes good Nintendo Directs and sets them apart: they have fun.

Yeah this one has been bizarre.

Nintendo is really pushing the NX no info thing. They clearly know it is way past due with the disclaimers. Just tell us already.

With this in Febuary as a sneak peak and a suspected March release for NX it seems to line up nicely. I'm hoping this means they are on track.

@GrailUK lol. I've been around since NES so not sure I'd call myself new.

I really only read it as a placeholder comment since they can't say anything yet. I don't know where people are reading the rest.

EA isn't some evil entity like people enjoy pretending it is and they own fantastic properties like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Garden Warfare, Battlefront, and more.

This wait is just going to be....ugh.

I can't imagine this not being widely available this holiday season. It would be a huge misstep to not just have them in stores to catch that crowd of people that aren't hardcore gamers but remember the NES and grab for nostalgia or for a loved one.

Pretty cool move either way.

I love my New 3DS XL, but I'm super jealous of that plate that features 8 bit of all the Super Mario Maker sprites.

I enjoyed what I played, but there is too much competition for my gaming dollar right now.

@Ventilator Wow. Lego City is always super expensive here.

@Marce2240 I had the same feeling. It was up for quite a long time, long enough for anyone with even remote interest to grab it. As long as Nintendo surely has known about it it's almost like they let it come out, have people a chance to get it, and then took it down.

I really want to play this game it looks amazing.

The Wii U failed commercially, but I consider it a fantastic system with exclusives that absolutely trounce the competitions, both quantity and quality.

That being said their biggest mistake was calling it the Wii U which made people think it was some Wii accesory, and everybody was done with the Wii at that point. Their second was not making it technologically competitive which cost them the third party support.

Their biggest was trying to replicate the Wii's success and that crowd has moved on. They need to appeal more to mainstream gamers. I think they have a shot to do that if the specs and rumors are true about this next machine. Most gamers I know have a 3DS and will assuredly buy this. Merging their market is the smartest thing they can do right now.

@Grandpa_Pixel It would be a license to print money.

@Grandpa_Pixel I'm actually quite happy about that. Being able to take an experience like Breath of the Wild with me and play at home on the same console sounds brilliant.

This is most likely true given all the rumors and what we know and if it is it is genius. Now Nintendo would both not be competing in the console market while at the same time having a device capability neither of the other systems do.

I would buy all my games on the NX if it means I just pick it up and take all my games with me when I go.

All the related incidents are just being hammed up because the game is huge right now and it gives the news something hot to attach to the story. Because people paying attention to their phones and hurting themselves isn't really news anymore. 1.6 million vehicular accidents are caused by texting while driving every year.

It has been surprising that out of the 3 impressions I've read all said the final product is a good or possibly even great game.

Sigh, oh man. Please don't be a gimmicky joke of a console NX.

I'm all over this.
