This is so exciting if true! I hope they have a ton of games ready for launch.
Some stores throws it up straight away. The price is ridiclous and the date is just TBD. I mean I've had the psp version of Type-0 pre-ordered since...well 2011? TLG since 2009. They wont charge me until it's time to ship it so who cares?
EDIT: should add that they call it "project NX" and the price is at €1000. So as soon as it becomes official and gets a price they'll change it to the correct name for me and the price as well.
But when there is no dorught of Nintendo games, 3rd parties complain they cannot compete with Nintendo's games and the attention they get, so they won't support it either.
We been there before, it even was a reason for Nintendo to leave gaps in the 3ds launch period, to give space for them, but they did nothing and Nintendo got burned.
Lol what? A lot of Nintendo's teams have been quiet since late 2013. Also, if Retro is making Metroid Prime...well that would have a 3 year+ dev cycle if I'm correct.

More games is always a good thing. I'm just hoping that most of those games aren't just Wii U ports.
Well, they actually did that.
They've already combined their divisions in the recent restructuring. EAD now no longer exists and it's now called EPD.
We don't know how much time they have put through to their possible launch titles. For all we know, a lot of these games have been worked on a year before Iwata mentioned the first time about NX. We just got to see when they reveal them possibly at this year's E3.

Nintendo games explosion! Any minute now..
Just keep buying Aamibos guys.

That's also part of the issue I've mentioned about the audience Nintendo attracts now. They mainly care for Nintendo games only &, for the most part, don't give a flying fuck about third party efforts. And those who do care about third party games already have systems that satisfy those needs.
She took a break for a while, & got a new Twitter account & a new avatar.

They actually have! It started a couple years ago under Iwata.

GameCube was during a time when handhelds and consoles were in a league of their own.
Nowadays many handheld games pretty much are indistinguishable from consoles. Look at Kid Icarus: Uprising. That could have easily been a Wii U game. Console and handheld games are really homogenized with each other now, so it makes sense to unify the divisions, which would help things a lot.
And Kirby GCN, I forgot about it! Plus Mother 3 bizarrely going from N64 to GBA. It's nothing new and it will work out better both for them and for us in the long run.
Eh. I wouldn't rule that out completely.
If NX is a success and easy to port to (Nintendo's previous consoles either lacked one or both of those qualities), then why not put out cheap-and-easy ports?
Last gen JP publishers were all over the 360 and PS3 equally because they wanted to cast a wide net for themselves and guarantee profitability. I'd think publishers would want to have their games on as many platforms as possible.

Square Enix pretty much blurted that the new Dragon Quest game was coming to NX then they had to backtrack because they shouldn't have said it....
You tell me why 3rd parties would even be interested , if said system does not bring millions of new consumers into the fold?
There is 0 reason for them to split their usual consumer base from the 2 consoles now, onto 3, that is just added costs to port for them.

See, my brain tells me not to jump at another Nintendo system day 1 and get burned again. But showing games like Animal Crossing with a concrete release date and my heart will make me be there day 1 lol.

Always wondered; how do people find out how long someone's banned for? Particularly in this case since he deleted his twitter?
It does sound like they stop Wii U development earlier than we though
Wii U's titles were really hit and miss quality wise. There are quite a few clunkers, including 2 released last holiday season.

Well, they were extensively reorganizing it since Iwata's death, from internal studios to top management.

That's a pretty big hit to his credibility, though.
Personally when I had a Wii U I only played
- Super Mario Wii U
- Super Luigi Wii U
- Smash Bros Wii U
Those were the only games I had. While I had Bayonetta 2, I just didn't play it before I sold mine. I'm glad the NX is coming out because maybe it'll have more games for me to want to pick up.
Wow, crazy.

You might want to use a better example, because Sony funding SFV pretty much made sure that it won't leave PS4 or PC.
It's just an opinion. Don't see how it invalidates anything.
Yes i know but i do not think Nintendo has really taken advantage of that yet since they do not have a connected/singular platform for their handheld and console yet. I imagine once the NX and NX Handheld are out it will be a different story.
Yes thats true. I was just using a popular game thats not on Nintendo systems as an example.
Lol exactly. Pikmin 4 was near done as of last September, right? Then there is Zelda and whatever Nintendo's Mario 3D team is working on. Did they have a job listing for a 3D action game in 2014?
True, but until there are results, I'm going to assume it's still just same ol' Nintendo. I'd be happy to be wrong, but after the WiiU, I'm not getting near the NX until year 2 or 3 at the earliest.

Kirby GCN is a weird example. We still see its legacy in newer Kirby titles (Kirby 3D Rumble minigame in Kirby: Planet Robobot).
He came back on Twitter. Some have asked him if he was perma'd and what he was banned for. He only got banned for sourcing ZhugeEX without permission and nothing else, also the ban will be lifted sometime mid June.

If they translate it, then maybe, but the game is coming out in japan next year, would be hard for them to do a translation in that short amount of time
Seriously, I wouldn't own any Nintendo hardware right now if not for third party support on DS and 3DS.

Kyle Bosman is a world treasure I say. Damanhur should add a statue to celebrate his greatness.
Yeah that was the silliest thing ever. Just accept it, take it as free pr and don't divulge which version they where talking about and be happy some of us got excited.

It does have a great library but it had a lot of things going against it. Price point and timing plus Nintendo being in a weird transitional period, still reeling from the Wii's success. It seems like they've doubled back and rethought things (upgrading online infrastructure, partnering with DeNA, playing more loosely with IP and branding), so I'm cautiously optimistic that they've gotten their junk together.
I have concerns about the NX and Nintendo in general but I have faith in them to turn this thing around in one way or another.

His Twitter is still up.
I thought that he took down his Twitter account?
My thoughts exactly. It can't be utilized until the new systems hit because the restructuring is for the new ecosystem. It's simply not possible right now because the Wii U and 3DS are far too different from each other.

It has a great library if we distance ourselves from massive software droughts, and it seems that Nintendo wants to fix the latter.

I mean yeah. If you condense that into a year and a half, great library. Let's ignore the draughts.

I'd like it to see, but... eh. Wii U deserves its swan song that isn't a cross-platform Zelda.
The Gamecube went out the same way lol. Paper Mario will probably be out quite a bit earlier than Zelda.

I disagree. It had no real 3D Mario, just a sequel to 3D Land, and everything else just felt safe and boring. I was never compelled to buy it even though I'm a big Nintendo fan.
I dont think that Paper Mario game should be considered a swan song for the system lol. Doesn't exactly look that great.

I usually am a big Emily Rogers fan but she went way too far out of her way to couch her statements
Expect a ton of games....oh, unless they are delayed...and oh, maybe they won't be announced at E3...oh and I'm talking about the entire lifespan of the NX
No real reason to doubt her, but with all those disclaimers she basically said absolutely nothing. "Expect a lot of software, maybe, and eventually". Alrighty.
