Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
There are no second category HAL games. Neither are there such by EAD Tokyo.
More seriously: have you 100% KRC or CT? Some of the objectives in there are excruciating.

There was a commercial where two kids pleaded with their parents to buy them a wiiu. This targeting families stuff is nonsense. It doesn't matter who you target if your tech is not desirable aesthetically or powerful.
Look at the psp. It didn't have a lot of must have games and it was up against a dominant and entrenched force in the handheld business, but it sold 80 million units. That's more than all the consoles this gen, maybe ps4 will barely make that number. The psp just had that it factor that made people want it, and nintendo should not ignore the power a sleek looking piece of tech has on the mind of a consumer.
Yes, but, so few people have them, that's a lot of work for such a tiny percentage of users being able to play the game.

Seems like discussion has died down. I think we're only 4 days from Nintendos Investors Meeting? I can't believe I have hype for an Investors Meeting all because I want to hear any type of NX info lol
Doubt they give more than the reveal date. Maybe launch date too.

Can't wait to see what Nintendo comes up with the new generation of games. I still think they have the best exclusives. I'm really really hoping the new console will do well.

But we always get hype for investors meetings
Almost every VC game works with the Wii U's controller, but back on the Wii, your Wiimote wasn't going to let you play much besides NES games. So there's precedent of Virtual Console platforms relying on additional hardware that's not included in the system. Even the Wii U has this with the downloadable Wii games and stuff like Duck Hunt. The NX's controller lacking analog triggers is no real impediment for the Gamecube VC, which I'm betting, will indeed come to the console.
There's a chance they might name it..if it's an odd name like Wii.
If there was a potentially controversial aspect (like being digital only/using cards or carts/having subscription based online play) I could see that being revealed early so any bad feeling/moaning has diminished prior to E3.
Did Emily Rogers ever publish the second article she was talking about earlier? I vaguely recall something being said to that effect.
As for the investors meetings, I doubt we'll see much but we're going to get some blowout announcements pretty soon if this is really launching Q4.

Not saying the PS4 is selling "bad" by any metric, but comparing it to PS3 sales isn't really helping your cause, since the PS3 sold like crap the first few years.

A thread about the reveal date or launch window will put that mothafuck at like 70 pages in one day

I think we're getting:
- Launch Window (Winter 2016)
- Brief Overview (Gimmick, software info)
- Reveal Date (E3)
I don't think we're getting:
- The Name
- The Specs
- Info on the Portable
Especially if it's 2017 lol.

I doubt we will ever get the specs for a Nintendo platform again, ever. I don't think they have given specs out for a single piece of hardware since the gcn

I'm thinking we'll get overall specs at E3, especially if they are worth bragging about (GPU name, amount of RAM, something). Nothing super specific or technical.
I don't think anything Nintendo did or didn't do at Wii U reveal should be taken as a given this time.

She decided to hold off on it. Also said she's said enough on NX for one week.
I think we will find out whether it is coming out this year or not, which I think is meaningful.

That's almost a given. They'll have to throw investors a bone and let them know whats on the horizon and when.

If its 2017 that thread will be 250 pages and I will make one post on the first page..
" WTF GODDAMNIT !!!!!!!"
Boo, that's too bad. Oh well, I suppose next week should have enough for everyone.

No way does Nintendo coast another year with only Wii U and 3DS. They gonna have to pump out a ton of Miitomo skins if thats the case.
darkstar0155

Its not just the Wii U, but they never really released any specific technical info for the wii, ds, wii u, or 3ds. That's 4 hardware releases in a row with no specific specs. I doubt they will do it this time either, unless its WAY above and beyond what the ps4.kneo or whatever people are calling it is.

Miitomo is more empty than Playstation Home
It's gonna happen.

They didn't give specs on Wii because the console was ment as a game changer targeted towards non-gamer mass market. They wanted to break away from the mold in every way they could, from controller design to PR. I think with the Wii U reveal they simply followed the Wii model.
I'm just saying there's no guarantee this time they'll take the same Wii attitude with this reveal.
I wouldn't be surprised if they revealed the specs or didn't... although they gain little from revealing that info.
If the PS4Neo and the Xbox1.5 didn't exist, I'd be willing to be Nintendo would be more likely to reveal the NX. But as it stands, they probably aren't going to be revealing the strongest hardware this E3 so what's the point, I guess.

I agree.
I'd even dare to say we're getting more than that.
Not saying we're getting a full reveal but they simply can't talk about their future plans, profits and strategies to their investors for this fiscal year without at least explaining them where all of this will come from (their new devices)

There won't be an official name at an investor's meeting..

I can't believe some people still think we won't get NX info until E3. We're definitely getting something. I hope a Direct or reveal in front of a crowd in May. Even Oregen said we were.
They'll give a reveal timeframe and a launch year.

Well idk who this Orgen person is. Seems like he's trustworthy here?
Well unless a direct is coming before the investor meeting, that sounds like a crock.
Can you provide a link to his Twitter account? It was posted in another thread, but I can't remember which and I'm having a difficult time tracking it down through Google search. Much appreciated!
Like to believe it, but it would be their first time.
So i really doubt it would be different this time, but you never knows with BigN.
I was wondering, what if we get a new xbox one and a ps4 and NX. Couldn't we say that we have started a new nextgen? With some kind of backwards compatible?
Does this maybe means there sill be a new race of console war? Or will the mainstream know that the consoles aren't new next gen systems?

It's Nintendo, which means to hope for the best but expect and prepare yourself for the worst.
I know .it's kinda sad how thirsty we are for news. Nintendo is keeping its cards SO CLOSE to the chest.

It's annoying from a fans perspective but from a business perspective it makes sense to keep everything behind closed doors for as long as possible. That's why I don't think much of anything will be shown till E3
And indeed E3 will be all the more exciting for it.
Which would be a terrible decision since it would...
- Overstuff their E3 presentation, whatever form it takes.
- Not give enough time to market the device(s).
- Leave Nintendo open to being overshadowed by the competition.
The first two points are 100% on point. Nintendo has to unveil NX before E3.
As for being overshadowed by the competition...I don't think there is really a chance of that happening but of course that's my opinion so I'm not saying you are wrong
Turns out that I was wrong anyway. He says that one is from a Reddit "leaker," which is why I removed it from my post. If he's right, they may reveal the name and logo so thirsd parties can start talking. Here's the irony though: 10k thinks that the leaker might be right, but he said earlier today that NoA has no idea when the reveal date is. And he actually believes this "NoA employee."
So yes, croc.
Here you go: https://twitter.com/tenkay23 He retweets have a ton salt, so you don't need to bring your own!
Speaking of Reddit, this thread give a very good point that's a pretty strong indication that Iwata planned a 2016 launch from the start. An announcement of some sort is definitely imminent, I wager.

I can't believe it's about to hit May with no info on a system that should be released this year. Insane.
There's the PS4K & VR to consider, with the former being from the industry leader right now & the latter being the hotness. Plenty of room for Nintendo to get upstaged at E3.The first two points are 100% on point. Nintendo has to unveil NX before E3.
