Gimmie MK9 that looks something like this CG artwork using Nintendo's new graphics engine / Vulkan API / Nvidia GPU.

drooooooooooooooooooool.
$299 would be great
3 minutes eh..
-PS4 equivalent hardware
-tablet controller (works anywhere with wifi)
-Zelda BotW Launch title
-Mario mainline launch title
-Mario Kart 9
-Pokemon GO HARDER
-3rd party list
-Nintendo Now Network (dat online sys)
-March 17'
-$399
It's basically what the WII U should have been i.e. modern hardware, tablet controller can play games anywhere, modern online infrastructure, cheevos/tropheos, etc.
A lot of people missed this but earlier in the thread there was talk of a barrage of tweets by Laura Kate Dale--a destructoid writer (or former destructoid writer)
She basically laid out in great detail what to expect tommorow based on her sources.
You can read it all on her Twitter here: https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz
But in basic terms:
1. They will reveal the system's appearance
2. It's name and the concept, how it works and what makes it cool
3. They will show zelda. (she doesn't say there will be other games, and doesn't say there won't.)
There will be other information coming shortly thereafter, including a spec sheet (I think she said before the weekend)
She also said there were 3 devs that she knew of waiting for NX reveal to announce games for it very soon afterward. Maybe even the same day.
Actually I was just thinking why not project it on the big screen, that's a great idea, thanks. Part of the lecture is on console wars anyway. Doing my part as a Nintendo fanboy.
So basically the Wii U all over again, right down to the dismal sales?
Finally, the first Nintendo home console since 2006. Can't wait.
People listing things they expect need to actually read the tweets because they tell what will and won't be in the teaser.
1) The final name
2) The physical hardware
3) Zelda
No sizzle reel of upcoming titles, no proof of concept demo game, no Mario, no specs, no price. They'll show off the system and the controllers and they'll show someone playing Zelda with it as a demonstration of 1) how it works and 2) any visual enhancements.
Shocking Alberto mentioned he and Emily were debating if it was gonna be Mario or Zelda shown but the other girl that helped blow the lid off of everything detailed pretty tidily what's gonna happen and she said just Zelda, so I'm gonna keep my expectations at the three things listed above and anything else will just be happy bonuses.

Honestly, it really does feel like the first new Nintendo console launch since the Wii, with how much the Wii U was an extension of the Wii in ways. Extremely excited to see what Nintendo is doing with this clean slate.lmao
But this one has Nintendo games. Nevermind the fact that this scenario would have it selling for the same price as a far more powerful console that was released months earlier and already has an expansive library (plus a VR solution for anyone who cares).
A $399 price point seems absolutely batshit insane to me. I just can't wrap my head around how any of what's been speculated would come near justifying that.
Which outlet said it would be cheaper than we'd expect? I'd prolly be getting the system no matter what, but at $300+ it sounds like a tough sell for others. Even if it is hybrid, many don't want to pay an extra premium because of it.$349 is more likely, but we'll see. It could really go either way.
I wonder how much else we'll learn in just hours time, like if it'll be Wii U title compatible and things of that sort, or if they're waiting to announce that later.

I know, how slow!Holy crap, 6 hours and 74 pages!
He still stands by his claim that it is an AMD powered console based off the fact AMD is holding a investor call later in the day after the NX Preview Trailer and also the fact that the Nintendo website is displaying "Home Gaming System" as the descriptive text with the time of the NX Preview. His speculation is all based off of openly available information, not him hunting for rumors or leaks from "industry sources".
I'm just glad this form factor argument (home console vs Hybrid-Handheld-Console) is about to end in a matter of hours.
I don't know how but Mario's face here perfectly encapsulates a "I just caught you masturbating and I want to join in" expression
Nooooo that looks like shit, MK8 already looks way better than that
Okay, since when did WiiU start rendering CG quality visuals ?
You are expecting too much from today, to me it'll be already a lot if we get the final name of the console and the shape of it, that's it, i think this teaser will be to announce the date of the reveal, which will be likely next week, there we'll find out about, specs, features, games and perhaps price.
The majority that are interested in those games haven't thought one bit about buying the next Nintendo console for them.
Any price above $249 is DOA.
Dude don't do this to yourself. Do you really want to be disappointed for this of all things after all the wait?Man RDR2 is so getting announced for NX as well.
Yeah but they don't really care too much about this I don't think. Most of those sales are default to PC/PS4/X1. I do think that RDR2 being revealed tomorrow as well as NX is no coincidence, however.

right. but they gotta grow out of just being it's own niche (a very popular niche tho) and getting back into the multiplatform game as well.
imagine if they could push the idea of the convenience of playing console-quality fifa away from your tv when you want to kick it in another room.
Honestly, I feel both PS4 Pro and Project Scorpio look extremely boring, so I am sooo ready for a new Nintendo system.
Make me excited about gaming again, N. I'm ready for you.

Name the successful Nintendo consoles that have launched for more than that.
