Ugh, my excitement levels are increasing. I was trying to fight these emotions, but as the days of E3 grow nearer, they are becoming harder to control. I'm jumpin on this hype train for real. Nintendo is gonna blow all of our minds!

He doesn't usually do rumors, but he seems to knows people in the animation industry. I think he mentioned getting a tour of Jim Henson studios recently?
And to be totally honest with myself? I don't think I care. I've had it pre ordered for a while now and it's not like I'm going to cancel it. I'm mostly worried that the handheld component will just feature a thin client and the box will do everythingI want my fat ones everywhere ok?
Wait, who's taking preorders for this right now?
EDIT: Ahh, I should've kept reading.
This.
I'd like to buy the NX specifically to play nintendo games, but why can't i be allowed to played games such as final fantasy 15 or COD, GTA, etc.
"Just buy a playstation 4 or xbone" isn't an answer to my problem either, because i don't grow money on trees nor do i want multiple consoles stacked around my TV.

I'm a bit torn on the NX. I think I might be done with home consoles. I enjoyed my Wii U, but I never got around to playing all my (digital) games on it. I hope to see my digital collection available day one with the NX and cross-supported. I believe that the future of consoles is in getting you join an ecosystem rather than having your games tied to a specific console. So I need to see this in action before I make the purchase.
However, I know that I will definitely pick up the next Nintendo handheld just for Pokemon alone, but I really hope that Nintendo's next handheld will be able to get all the indies and niche japanese games that were going to the Vita, since I don't see anyone else making another handheld.

As stated before, I'm not sure if waiting for E3 is the best call. Competition's looking pretty fierce over there, & I don't think Nintendo would be wise to risk getting overshadowed or overstuffing their E3 presentation (especially if they maintain their usual Tuesday time slot, right before the show floor opens).

Welcome abroad!!!!!!!
Quite the contrary. Increased first party output will create a bigger install base and make the platform more attractive for third parties.

It also needs to have a good online ecosystem, proper accounts, ease of access to friends list, party chat, etc. Hopefully this time Nintendo markets the NX toward real gamers and not young children and families.

What are you talking about? Of course third parties matter. The point is to get your image out there that you get third party games for now and in the future generations.
Having a larger install base doesn't mean much if you only buy from one publisher.

Doubt it.
Until I see the games on shelves or on the eShop this is all bullshit rumor to me. If that happens then I'm happy to be wrong.

Me and the millions of people who didn't by a Wii U.
I thought it would be "Wah-wah Me, Waluigi" or "Waluigi, so Wah-chi <3" in Japan.

Funny, but one of Australian retailers opened interest registration for NX... right after it was namedropped at Nintendo x DeNA.

A 2d metroid, 3d metroid, F-Zero, Zelda, Mario Maker 2, Mario Kart 9, etc will all come to NX from the sound of it.
Hmm, looks like I know what my main console is going to be for gen 9.

No, what made people write off Wii U was the terrible showing at events. Remember E3 2012 ? When your biggest 1st party showing was Nintendo Land, your console was dead on arrival.
People are buying these games... But on other
consoles. It's all about brand and ecosystem. It's especially true when you basically want them to release another PS4/XB1. There's already two consoles fighting over that crowd. Throwing dollars to get the rests isn't worth it. Nintendo is better building their own thing. Their own ecosystem of exciting and quality games.
Square Enix and Namco.

Yeah, Ninty has to work on a few things like that, I agree. But I was more referring to why publishers were dissuaded from porting their games on the last few systems. Maybe now will be different on that front, we'll see.
Wii U, eh. The way it was marketed and developed was weird. It was kind of positioned as for enthusiasts, but also for the Wii audience, but it felt like it didn't go far enough in appealing to either and that's why it floundered. The Xbox One was kind of similar to that in a couple ways. PS4 is really the model that should be followed. It was successful because it was positioned first-and-foremost with a clear focus of who it was targeted toward.
Erm, I said helped. The Wii U was pretty much not going to work out as a concept. But not having those games definitely didn't help.
Nintendo has had their own ecosystem in the past. GameCube, N64, Wii U. Those consoles all end up selling less. Why? Because the games people want to play aren't on them. If Nintendo wants to be successful, they need games people want to play. The statistics and sales data prove that the games that sell best are multiplatform.
Sure, from a brand point of view they have a lot of ground to regain. Giving up and becoming more and more insular won't solve anything in the long term.

I wasn't talking about all consumers outside of this forum when I replied to your comment, as you seemed to be addressing the users in this thread directly or at the very least the type of consumer who is interested in the NX.
A lot of core video game enthusiasts, those who would read a blog by Emily Rogers, care about Nintendo's upcoming first party software. A lot. If you don't, ok.
I still think that would be a weird route to take, especially given the success of the first game.
A large install base that only buys from one publisher seems unlikely tbqh.
Or people could have been interested in their first party games, but didn''t buy a Wii U because of the issues the system had.
After the SFV disaster, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo tightened its stranglehold of Monster Hunter with Capcom.
Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil 0 started out as N64 titles as well.
Come on Neo, you're really gonna give fucking Josh Thomas any weight for stuff like this?
Aren't some of those bullet points just rephrasing what Iwata said previously?
Emily Rogers seems to be a master at saying a bunch of stuff but not really saying anything. And as far as her credibility and sources go, I haven't forgotten how her sources were saying Soul Caliber would be a Wii U launch title or those rumors she was spreading about R* making software for the Wii U.
I don't believe her at all.

I just know I want me some shoujo sparkle Waluigi, and face-rubbing on my GamePad

No, Nintendo didnt had their own ecosystem. They still dont have. I meant an ecosystem such as iOS or Android or even Steam.
Okay, so I haven't really been following the NX news, though I've heard bits and pieces about the supposed gimmick. That being, the NX will double as both a console and a handheld. Now, how is this supposed to work exactly? If this is indeed the case, then there's only one way it can work. You'd have to have a set up similar to the Wii-U, where the tablet functions as its own gaming device. But instead of connecting it to the console, you connect it to the T.V. itself.
Is that how it's supposed to work?

That's why I said "I'm not sure". I'm just presenting the info for you guys to pass judgement. As stated before, it'd be a weird route to take if he has any bit of truth in his info.

You said they need their own ecosystem of exciting and quality games. I interpreted that as meaning doubling-down on their first-party games and that audience at the expense of all else. I guess I might've misunderstood.
But still, I think the idea that I want to get at is that not having third-parties on board a console will hurt it, more than having them will.
But wouldn't a port be to capitalize on that?
How soon could splatoon 2 come out anyway with no interruptions? Mid 2018? Late 2017 would be stretching it imo...unless it released like Splatoon 1's meager launch.
So maybe a port is to strike the pan...while..the thing...you know.
Why?
Increasing their software output and garnering 3rd party support are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
If you improve the development tools, you can drastically reduce development time. If Nintendo teams no longer have to jump back and forth between handheld and console, they can cut out a lot of inefficiencies.
It's why you see so many Unity games. Unity is gonna work everywhere, so you can focus on the game and not writing the engine from scratch each time. Hironobu Sakaguch (of FF) said years ago part of Squenix's problems modernizing was because they were used to coding all their games from scratch every time. Notably with the FF series of games.
If Nintendo standardized a lot of their engines/libraries/OSs/etc, they can get quite far.
EDIT: Also Nintendo making NX super duper fast to develop for benefits them and all other developers.
I think so far SE given their accidental announcement of DQ, and other rumors regarding FF. Ubisoft via the rumored BG&E2. I think that covers actual rumors. Library sharing would have a significant impact for support from jdevs, particularly if the console plays handheld games. That is just speculation though.
After Street Fighter V's rocky start, I'm not sure if Nintendo could get away with Splatoon 1's barebones launch again for the sequel as a result of there being more awareness of barebones launches for games. That being said, major development concluded with the January stages. So if Splatoon 2 started with no interruptions at around December 2015, a 2017 release isn't out of the question.
Ah ok. I just can't draw any attention with any video with his name in it lol. Sorry for other youtubers though!
Because you think Nintendo will mandate people to only buy their games? I dont get your logic.
Everything we are hearing is good for third parties. Competitive performance, increased first party output, easy to port games to.
That team (EAD 2) did NintendoLand, Wii Sports, Wii sports resort, etc. according to wikipedia.
So I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing a new IP launch game again.
They also do Animal crossing it seems.
So working from Dec 15 uninterrrupted seems hard. Unless there's a seperate splatoon team.
