@gcunit by iwata himself. Back in 2014 he said the next console ans handheld would be like brothers. And that it doesn't necessarily mean turning into 1 device during a shareholder meeting.
The hybrid thing has been debunked humorous times.
Anyway I'm for this. Faster load times, collectivity, cost saved on the console it's self. As for third party well people are buying more digital anyway. And they all won't be completely on board right away anyway.
I think it's a new home console with a separate companion mini tablet. the tablet docks to the nx controller and syncs with the nx console, allowing for second screen play.
Well, Shadow of Mordor 2 definitely wouldn't be coming to 3DS, New 3DS, or Wii U. And I highly doubt the next portable would be powerful enough. So if its coming to a nintendo platform, it'll be the next home console.
Yeah after this plus Nintendo trademarking 3d representations of their characters, I think NX's big gimmick will be social AR via object scanning and possibly even image projection.
Good app too. Just wish there was a bit more gameplay and better friend search. But I do agree that Miitomo isn't designed to make tons of money. It's a means to get the nintendo brand out there on mobile devices. All in all a good Mii-based social app for Nintendo users.
@Mogster I have to agree really wish they would talk about NX already. There's a time for secrecy and a time for action, And i think there's been too much of the former.
I do think sometimes a company should keep its cards close to its chest, but at the same time staying silent for toolong can either decrease interest or raise expectations to bad levels.
@Grumblevolcano I think Nintendo just doesn't think they have enough stuff for the next few months for 3ds and wii u to warrant a direct. Or perhaps they're clearing the deck for a NX reveal direct next month?
Idk. I definitely think Kimishima will use directs more sparingly. They'll still happen but only when necessary. Kimishima won't do a direct just to do a direct.
If NX is launching this year I do hope we get the reveal or some news next month. I understand Nintendo likes to keep the deck close their chest and doesn't like to copy others. But we need Ninformation.
Expected sadly. I'm not getting the game but cutting content to me is simply unacceptable. I am so sick of Nintendo treating us like kids. I understand their main demographic is kids/families(And you know it is.), but I'm tired of daddy knows best Nintendo always trying to tell us what we do and don't want.
This is one of the many reasons I'm breaking away from Nintendo.
@Grumblevolcano except Pokken is confirmed for March . This actually looks like they're filling up until September to clear the fall/holiday slate for NX.
I imagine it's also getting ready for MyNintendo. Since Wii U and 3DS are likely getting what will probably their last major system updates in March for the program.
And asive said before we are probably getting a direct before March 1st.
@Grumblevolcano its one less year. The Wii U got its 2d Mario, 3d Mario, Mario kart, Mario party, Kirby, donkey Kong, smash etc. It's still getting its Zelda. We were never promised f zero or metroid.
Not precisely what you meant but the point is 1 year earlier isn't the end of the world.
It will certainly be a big year for Nintendo. As others have said, it is likely launching this year and has to come out swinging. The reveal and marketing must be nigh perfect.
Well he is the head of tecmo koei, so his studios most likely have devkitsvand he's most likely seen them and the product design, especially if NX is releasing this year.

Re: Trademark Listing Adds Fuel to Talk of Nintendo NX Using Cartridges
@SanderEvers that sounds very underpowered and very expensive.
Re: Trademark Listing Adds Fuel to Talk of Nintendo NX Using Cartridges
@gcunit well just dance 2017 was confirmed for nx which is never on portables. It's likely not a hybrid guys, drop it.

Re: Nintendo Outlines Key Goals to Ensure NX Success
So do people still think nx is a handheld?
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 2016?
E3 seems like it went well for what it was despite not being the nx blowout we all wanted.

Either backpedaling or miscommunication

Re: GameStop COO Claims New Console Launches Are "Imminent"

Re: Monolith Productions Job Listing Sparks NX Chatter
Well, Shadow of Mordor 2 definitely wouldn't be coming to 3DS, New 3DS, or Wii U. And I highly doubt the next portable would be powerful enough. So if its coming to a nintendo platform, it'll be the next home console.
Re: Monolith Productions Job Listing Sparks NX Chatter
@Vincent294 well if its a home console, if it's not at least xbox one level why bother.
But hey sounds good to me. I didn't enjoy SoM but more the merrier.
Re: Nintendo Files a New Patent for a Fancy Object Detection Device
Yeah after this plus Nintendo trademarking 3d representations of their characters, I think NX's big gimmick will be social AR via object scanning and possibly even image projection.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo NX Source and Details Gain Some Traction
@BigBabyPeach Not impossible but not likely. If anything it'll be Xbox One style.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo NX Source and Details Gain Some Traction
I still think it could launch this year. Maybe x86 means they don't need a physical devkit?
And if x86 and launching this year I'm assuming Nintendo will be using AMD Puma for the CPU.
Re: Miitomo Tops iOS Chart in the US and Hits Three Million Global Downloads

Re: A Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Is On the Way
Confirmed no nxor mobile updates. Are they just gonna stealth release miitomo?
Re: Ten Hours of Nintendo Network Maintenance Could Impact Some Online Gaming This Weekend
There is not gonna be a direct soon. NOTHING is happening before E3 to warrant a direct.
Re: Talking Point: The Time is Right for a Nintendo Direct
I don't think there'll be a direct before April.
Re: Rumour: Star Fox Zero Facing Development Niggles, Another Delay Could Happen
Yep the gamepad ain't coming back. It's too difficult.
Re: Quality Of Life Device Not Fit To Be Sold As "A Nintendo Product" At The Moment, Says Kimishima
So I guess mobile, Nintendo Account, MyNintendo, and NX are their main priorities for the moment.

Re: Nintendo of America Confirms amiibo Support for Star Fox Zero, Details More Releases and Olympian Unlocks
I think we're getting a big press release on February 2nd for wii u and 3ds stuff.
Re: Video: Official Nintendo Video Showcases amiibo Functionality in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
Yeah I don't think a direct is happening this month.
Re: Rumour: Online Survey Mentions NX's 4K Video Streaming, 900p Gameplay And Hybrid Hardware
That list looks bogus. 900p limit and no power chord?
Re: Pokkén Tournament Will be Picking Fights on 18th March
@Grumblevolcano except Pokken is confirmed for March . This actually looks like they're filling up until September to clear the fall/holiday slate for NX.
Re: Wii U System Version 5.5.1 is Now Available
Thinking we will get an update to 6.0 in March for MyNintendo integration. Same with 3DS.
Re: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Hits 3DS in North America on 18th March
@LetsGoChamp yeah I have a feeling there's going to be an NX version for NX launch day as well
Re: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Hits 3DS in North America on 18th March
Nintendo sure is filling up the first half of the year regarding 3DS. I believe the Wii U version was scheduled for August initially.
Re: Japanese Analyst Claims NX Could Launch As Early As October, Will Eat Into Wii U And 3DS Sales
Expect to hear first NX details next month.

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2016
Yeah I think if the project games exist they'll be released in the summer as $15 eshop titles.
Re: Feature: Five Key Reveals and Releases That Will Define Nintendo's 2016
It will certainly be a big year for Nintendo. As others have said, it is likely launching this year and has to come out swinging. The reveal and marketing must be nigh perfect.
Re: Koei Tecmo's President Seems To Think NX Is A Home Console First And Foremost
@mjc0961 wow I am dumb. I meant 2016 my bad. But yeah point is he's most likely seen NX.
Re: Talking Point: The Easily Forgotten Hardware Release of 2015 - New Nintendo 3DS
It's a stopgap guys. Fact is the 3DS and WiiU are slowly but surely on their way out.
Re: Koei Tecmo's President Seems To Think NX Is A Home Console First And Foremost
Well he is the head of tecmo koei, so his studios most likely have devkitsvand he's most likely seen them and the product design, especially if NX is releasing this year.
Re: Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima Has Published a New Message for Shareholders and Investors
Glad to hear. Looking forward to NX and MyNintendo.
