Well this should be interesting.

 

[786110]

Unless it looks vastly superior (or has a great gimmick) to the WiiU version, that seems to be a mistake.

maybe whatever gimmick it's implementing will come across better if we see a game people are already relatively familiar with now?

 

[Delstius]

About damn time.

 

[opticalmace]

Is this accurate?

No... 7am PST/10AM EST.

 

[Woffls]

Gotta be some leaks coming out between now and then, right? People know stuff... information finds a way.

 

[Enduin]

Hard to say. I think Nintendo MIGHT be semi-locked into "NX" from a branding angle at this point. Too much talk, speculation, and official acknowledgement from Nintendo to call it much else. The fact it's a solid console name doesn't hurt either. Being this close to launch makes a branding campaign very tricky.

Not even remotely. Revolution was far more widespread than NX. Ain't no reason to keep it as that. They need a catchy name that signifies what the device is about, ie mobile and console hybrid.

 

[Guevara]

Probably not the price, but possibly the release date?

 

[KillGore]

Wait, 3 minutes? ...the fuck? Why not a full direct?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I can't wait for the inevitable wowitsfuckingnothing.jpegs after the trailer hits.

 

[Toad.T]

LET'S GO!

bruh

bruh

wtf is this, geocites circa 1998?

This is how we really do Simpsons maymays:

 

[SmackAttack]

WHAT? YEAH BABY!

 

[tr1p1ex]

IT's going to be called the MiiTu.

Laura said on Twitter:

Hardware specs will not be part of the NX announcement trailer tomorrow but WILL come via press release soon after, 100% before month ends.

-

I don't know what the extent of info they'd give about specs is.

Good, info dump happening.

 

[Effect]

About damn time!!!

 

[Jawbreaker]

Nice, I have two trailers to look forward to tomorrow!

I'm expecting a cursory look at the hardware, and a game.

 

[?oe?oe]

tease tomorrow and something bigger for Friday as Friday seemed something was going to go down that day from insiders but not sure

Tomorrow is Friday. Maybe full event next week.

 

[LastCupOfSorrow]

Any reveal of a new console using Zelda as the demo will be glorious, no doubt.

 

[Whizkid7]

IT. IS. TIME.

Hold on yer hats, gents! 3 minutes is enough time to blow peoples' minds.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Nah, people come round pretty quickly, even if it's a bad name like xbox one. NX works though.

 

[Persona7]

What are the odds Zelda looks identical on NX and that is what makes people angry?

I would be surprised if it rendered in native 1080p even without basic upgrades.

 

[Jagsrock]

Mario was waiting and watching all along!

 

[Galang]

Omg the official name?! Yessssss!

 

[Terrell]

Well, I'll watch. It still seems like this will be a pass for me, but I'm going to wait for the official word on that.

 

[illadelph]

That Mario pic is clearly a screengrab from the trailer.

BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN

 

[orioto]

So they would show one game, that is also on the past console, hm.. It better be really amazing on NX and use the gimmick of the console in an amazing way.

Maybe in Nintendo's mind they just think everyone will be amazed at the game running on a portable you know, they're all "hahaha can you imagine how surprised people will be when they see it on a portable, it's magic!" It's a shame we've been discussing that for 6 month

 

[Baroquemantic]

Holy shit. It's finally time.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Wow Nintendo is giving specs again? That means the NX will be powerful!!

Nintendo: Oh hey guys

Gaf: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

 

[n0razi]

Its going to be called the Nintendo Pii

Pii = P2
P2 = Power + Portable

You can link 2 of them together for a Nintendo P-P

 

[JasonUresti]

The sand in SuperMetalDave's hourglass is finally running out...

 

[Kouichi]

OH MY GOD YES

 

[phanphare]

WII BRANDING IS DEAD

4DS confirmed

 

[mdtauk]

Nothing stopping a press release with more traditional specs being released after the Trailer video is out. 3 mins is not enough time to cover all details.

Using Zelda BOTW to demonstrate makes sense, as we have seen quite a bit of it already, and it shouldn't really look different on the NX.

 

[Mihos]

So like 5 months until it is on sale?

 

[Cbajd5]

He will never appear again

 

[Coda]

Not even remotely. Revolution was far more widespread than NX. Ain't no reason to keep it as that. They need a catchy name that signifies what the device is about, ie mobile and console hybrid.

I know the Duo was probably a fake but that wasn't a terrible name.

 

[Xumbrega]

please reveal mario galaxy 3 and I will be there day one

 

[manueldelalas]

No... 7am PST/10AM EST.

Sorry, my country recently did a stupid change in time zone, and it's all screwed up.

This should be good.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Time to analyze this photo because just right behind Mario, I can sort of see a reflection of something there.

It's fucking tree.

 

[xzeldax3]

Time for a meltdown.

 

[Shaanyboi]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAA

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

You fool. There's news next week too.

When did Nintendo say that?

 

[Plinko]

Ready for a return of the Nintendo Entertainment System.

 

[Hydrus]

Laura - "Emily Rogers NX spec info on retail unit is accurate. I 1000% trust that"

 

[Tom Nook]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

 

[Thraktor]

Laura's dropping bombs on twitter, specs before the end of the month.
https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz/status/788905169144676352

Well that's an interesting departure for Nintendo if true. Although it could still be as non-specific as they were for Wii U and Wii with just "Custom Nvidia graphics" and "ARM multi-core CPU" and so forth.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

Oh, Ok. Cool...

COOL

COOOOL *explodes*

 

[The Boat]

I can't wait for the overreactions.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Unless it looks vastly superior (or has a great gimmick) to the WiiU version, that seems to be a mistake.

It's definitely going to be interesting to see Zelda. I doubt Nintendo will discuss or release the specs right now, so it'll really be the only thing we have to gauge the systems power on. Cross-gen games tend to have a wide range of looks. From simply looking like the same game running in a higher resolution, to substantial visual upgrades like we saw with GTAV's current gen release. So if Zelda looks along the lines of GTAV's improvements, I think most will come away happy.
