I'm not expecting too much. So there's no excitement from me just yet.
Totally. But Nintendo does things in mysterious ways. If I remember correctly, they announced Bayonetta 2 three months after E3 2012 so I can see they doing similar things this year just to space out all the announcements and keep the hype after the E3 blowout until launch.
I just want Nintendo to play the aggressive game and show all its cards between today and E3 to make the biggest impact possible, but I believe they'll be conservative... so I'm lowering the hype levels in my body lol!

Cool. I feel much better seeing this now and knowing they can say it will be shown at E3, if that's their plans.Smart expectations! Expect a statement akin to this:
My expectations have been officially set for these next two days! Lol
I'm looking at what people are anticipating for this financial briefing and I'm just expecting nothing.
People keep coming here to say this, yet nobody is expecting anything big from this. Where have you seen these unrealistic expectations?
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised about getting something that we have a 100% chance of getting either. ;P
How long until we have a timer for the financial briefing. About negative two hours now since one was already posted. But so you don't go home empty handed, here's a countdown for countdown that will be made for Nintendo's E3 conference:

Maybe nothing interesting at all, but perhaps an event announcement for sometime in May? If not, it will be all E3.

Thanks for nothing.
I try to avoid pages and pages of wet dreams, so I checked the OP and last page of the thread, didn't go further back. But I saw it now.

I kind of respect Nintendo for not really revealing anything and if they really keep it all wrapped up until E3, even more respect and i did not expect that. Now i just hope they have a stage show, i really do. Last thing i heard is that Obe1 was invited to Nintendo's show for E3. To me that sounds like a stage show then.
You know that people en masse will be absolutely elated to concern troll out the wazoo no matter what happens, though. :/
I agree.
There's a bit more!
Tomorrow 3:15 AM EST/7:15 AM GMT/4:15 PM JST: fiscal results & likely press conference
Tomorrow 9 PM EST/1 AM GMT/10 AM (Thursday) JST: investor briefing
Anytime in that window: press release re: NX w/ at least minor details
I respectfully have to disagree. The final name could give us a strong indication of what the system is. If we get two names, it could indicate a console and HH are going to be related to one another and revealed simultaneously. If we get a name like DS, we could figure out what it stands for. Not to mention a name like 3DS tells someone quite a bit about what it is as a device. So I think a name can be useful information depending on what it is.
You missed some serious Planet Robobot goodness then, but I presume you've heard of the game by now regardless.

Smart expectations! Expect a statement akin to this:
That's exactly what I expect, with the caveat that the name could be revealed as well as it was in the 3DS memo on 3/23/10.
See my reply to you above; my point is that this info doesn't necessarily constitute nothing.
Oh, true, for a third party (exclusive) game I could definitely see it. And 3 months after E3 I could see that as well. I just feel like the month after E3, people will say "oh, if only you'd announced this during E3." (But as I said above to georly, concern trolls gonna concern troll regardless, so if people are saying that more genuinely, then they'd be more interested in the system at that point and it wouldn't be a bad thing.) But, my other concern is it takes away potentially from the impact of the initial launch line-up reveal a bit as well. Which is something I really want Nintendo to knock out of the park and wow people with. But I totally get the point you're making in your second paragraph and I'm trying to do the same...trying!..but it's difficult haha.
Both will be mentioned since both are key to their strategy, but mobile will get more attention because investors think that mobile will eventually earn Nintendo $10 billion per year and that Nintendo's ultimate success will be as a mobile-only developer.
But will it have low wattage usage? This is the important question. /s
Powered via AC/DC or lithium ions?

If that Wii U press release is anything to go by, it's conceivable (albeit IMO...I hope...very unlikely) that we'll get no info about NX, simply that we'll hear more about it at E3 (or in the future), and no info about how it will or won't affect projected earnings--because in that press release at that time Nintendo specifically said Wii U earnings weren't included in that press release. (But perhaps in that case that's b/c they might've known at that time it wouldn't hit during that current FY.)
I don't agree that that's the only way we'll hear about NX, given that they have to indicate to investors what's planned for this FY and that Kimi-san specifically said this FY is when they'll start discussing NX. Regardless! I hope we do get info on the next mobile game, especially since it's said to feature a significant Nintendo IP. That reminds me, I should bump my speculation thread about that.
Oh, that's interesting. Hmm. Perhaps it could be another NWC, though? Or something similar? Just speculating here, it very well could be a press conference as well. Or a press event simultaneous with a Direct?
E3 is the only specific I expect, akin to Wii U. Anything else would be 'near future' or some other vague time period.
Yup, console warriors are a bitch.
Smart expectations! Expect a statement akin to this:
Bingo. And this is BEST POSSIBLE outcome. We might not even get this.
I suspect that we'll get updated 3DS and Wii U hardware and software sell-through numbers/comparisons, updates on Amiibo sales including region breakdowns and an update on the top selling amiibo is expected. Download sale updates broken up by region as well as updates on the top downloaded titles and updates on Miitomo performance and MyNintendo adoption rates is also something I expect and after that maybe a reveal of the next Mobile game in the same vein as Miitomo. I suspect NX stuff will be found deeper in the actual reports when looking at the numbers as well as being mentioned in the Q&A. They usually drop something at the end of the presentation, for example Miitomo and NFP so they may briefly speak about NX in the same manner (aims and objectives, timeframe etc). Q&A is usually 8 questions. During the last Q&A Kimishima said the following:

I'm really trying to keep my expectations really low for this meeting. The biggest news most likely will be: a short description of the next mobile game with a potential release window and stay tune for E3 2016 for more NX news

I thinks it's kind of a bad idea if Nintendo waits until E3 to do the full reveal of the NX.
If they do it the Sunday before E3 at the latest should be fine. I think they should want all the spotlight on them when they reveal the system.

Thanks, a good wake-up for everyone
I'm thinking the same thing.
We know that with wiiu, they didn't had the time to prepare.
This time is defferent.

Maybe they could do it after E3 then.
But the problem now is that Nintendo's pretty much dead last with people not giving a shit about them. If they try to cram their reveal at E3, while it may turn heads, the hype will be somewhat (if not completely) drowned out by the PS4K & VR news. If Nintendo want's the make the most splash, they need to reveal the platform on their own terms ahead of E3, so that E3 can be all about the games. And given that Nintendo usually goes up right before E3 begins, that wouldn't leave Nintendo with a lot of time to do their Digital Event/Press Conference/Whatever.

Lol then what are they showing at E3? More Metroid Prime Federation Force
Why wouldn't they have that at E3?
For comparison's sake, the 3DS press release of 03/23/2010:

While I do think that Dark Cloud's time frame is a bit too close to E3 for comfort, his reasoning is fair. Nintendo needs to keep the spotlight to themselves without any chance of Sony stealing it.

NX will include one of these:
Got loads of them already, I want an RF cable or I ain't buying

I'm just worried they'll have to compete against Sony and the PS4 Neo or if MS reveals a new Xbox. I want Nintendo to get all the attention they need on their own day like Sony and MS did with the PS4 and X1.
Launch year was in that PR, and since it wasn't launching that year they couldn't give a forecast.
I'm just a bit annoyed because people are coming in here acting like we're expecting a full blow-out when most of us are basing our expectations on logic and what we saw with 3DS and Wii U. I mean, expecting meltdowns? Really? Just because there's a countdown?
Sorry, I hear NX (console) is coming with two of these:
This is being done to promote an RNG where people trade them to N3DS owners for faceplates usable on the NX portable.
I didn't include that one b/c it's in image posted several times on this page.
Thank you, though. (I'm guessing the images upthread didn't load for you)That's a problem they have to deal with. Setting your expectations high because you think nintendo 'needs' to do something in a certain way to gain back 'cred' or popularity isn't hurting anyone but yourself. Again, this is an investor's meeting, we might get some info on what to look forward to. Expecting anything else only hurts your own expectations.
Outside of nintendo fans and people looking forward to it, no-one has eyes on nintendo right now and no one cares about whether they'll release info tomorrow or not. What will matter is that when they *DO* finally reveal the system, they they make it seem like a desirable product that is worth owning. That's it. When doesn't matter NEARLY as much as how/what they show. Yes, the sooner the better, but that's such a minor detail.

Do I get any plane tickets with my nx so I can fly to a country where they use weird ass looking plugs like that?

I expect the most information that will be release, if any, will be something vague/general like "we will be launching new dedicated gaming hardware (this fall/next spring/whenever)" to tell investors when to expect those new (hopefully) revenue streams to be out.
Sure it will not happen if NX is the console like it should be.
Nx should go BIG. If they can't manage to beat a console ps4/ms that isn't really announcing a new next gen console, maybe they shouldn't be at E3 at all.
Revealing the NX now, means less content to show at E3.
!!!
I crunched some numbers and if
then
meaning "NX" must equal G. G-Spot.

Nice little breakdown of everything happening soon! Oh, and I did hear about Planet Robobot! So cool...
...just...awesome!
I agree, sadly (the beginning part, I mean). VR is huge news and it'll be at E3. It's just expecting a lot out of Nintendo to do it all at E3 without leaving out important things. There will be things coming out until E3 AND at E3. I'm expecting a ton of control over what all that is, but I just envision them teasing tastes leading up to it.
No fun allowed! It just seems at the slightest bit of excitement, no matter how small, people want to crush it. It's just nice to hear news, but people like assuming everyone freaks out and will "meltdown." Says more about them than anything. Let people experience things.

Atleast all the rumors for NX have been pretty positive. I hope they go all out for NX at E3 and not even mention the Wii U or 3DS.
Sorry, I might be hating on the Wii U/3DS, but the NX is a pivotal machine for Nintendo and I think E3 should 100% focus on it with a live press conference, Treehouse to play its games and maybe another NWC type of event for it. . For Wii U/3DS they can always do a Nintendo Direct. Well, I did forget about Pokemon Sun/Moon. That would definitely have to be shown considering how huge it is. But how much can they fit into one conference from NX to 3DS?
Exactly. That's what I meant by doing what Sony and MS did. All they have to do is reveal the system in May or sometime prior to E3 (to build even more hype), then at E3 just go all out with game after game after game.

Not really, as they could do like Sony did with the PS4 and mostly focus on the hardware and just snippets of games (need to show more games than MS did with their X1 reveal).
That let's E3 be all about the games, and gives them time from whenever they revealed the hardware to gradually build hype toward the E3 show.
Still doubt they'll do it though.
I'm not expecting a full reveal at the investor's meeting, but rather a dedicated NX reveal sometime in May.
PS4K having better graphics than the NX Console & 4K Blu-Ray will likely be enough for people to get hyped. As for Nintendo's E3, as stated earlier, it can be all about the games. And with games like Zelda also being on the Wii U as well as Sun/Moon being on the way, Nintendo can't really avoid Wii U & 3DS stuff at E3. Could they do a Mini-Direct for Wii U & 3DS news, sure. But I'm not sure if Game Freak or The Pokémon Company would take kindly to being sidelined.
My point is: Don't expect anything. If nintendo wants to do a blowout in may to leave more room at E3 for games, then that's their plan. If they want to do a blowout at E3 so that all eyes are on them, then that is their plan.
Don't expect, just wait patiently, see how it all plays out. Hope, sure, but expect? Don't :/
Also, last year, nintendo did the NWC on sunday BEFORE their presser/direct on tuesday. That may have been to put eyes on them without any big reveals, but either way, it's possible they could have a separate NX event AT E3 to announce the console and concepts. Or, it'll just be 2011, where they get Wii U/3DS stuff out of the way early in the event and leave the 2nd half for an NX dump.
The goal shouldn't be to just to "win E3", the goal should be to maximize the positive PR for NX between now and the system's launch.
I think it makes logical sense to reveal some things before E3, so that third parties can announce games for the system and so that Nintendo can control the messaging instead of having stuff leak out whenever hardware dev kits finally start shipping to everyone. Also they could have all eyes on Nintendo when they reveal that stuff instead of going on their traditional Tuesday spot which is a crazy news day.
You'd still have most of the games library to reveal and the system playable for E3.
