We are getting more info on NX in 2016. Whether this means new console/platform in that same year though, nobody knows. My guess would be them aiming for an end of the year release.

I'm also not feeling the hype for this, alas. Sony's extravaganza was the best E3 conference in history, it will never be forgotten. They've got a whole console generation ahead of them to show things way off into the future, and the result was frankly magnificent. The earthquake from it has derailed the Nintendo Hype Train.

Nintendo's conference, a year before the announcement of a new system - which they are not going to talk about - gives very very limited scope. I'd love to be wrong, of course.

Ah well, here's hoping for Metroid at the very least. I'm thinking the most interesting stuff might just be new Mario Maker footage.

Yeah, I can't wait until we see all of those game's Sony announced last night at the next few E3s as well. ;)

Nintendo has the chance to cause some noise with games that will release THIS year or at the latest early 2016.

So Nintendo is releasing both a new home console and NX? (Because it has already been said that the NX isn't a traditional home console.)

The Wii was not a traditional home console either. Neither was their current platform. And where was this said?

The digital event will be underwhelming because everyone is so hyped up from Sony's event. Stop being unrealistic.

My "dream" is that we get a premium gamepad controller. I'd love one with an HD screen and a bigger battery.

Announcements that were mostly not even Sony exclusives or coming in any amount of time. They literally announced pre funding for a game that will take years to develop. I don't consider that a strong showing, the big highlights could have been announced at any conference, Sony just paid the big bucks to get it at their's. Sony showed me more future PC game purchases than selling me a PS4.

That's what people want? Links to kickstarter projects? Third party games unrelated to the console? Exclusive DLC?

Not actual games they can play within a reasonable amount of time only on the system you're watching the show about?

Remember the January 2013 Nintendo Direct?

Yeah, that's what people want in today's gaming world. That's the sad true. People want to be hyped. People want to be marketing guinea pigs. That's the true. And while it is safe from Nintendo to not do that it also hurting them a lot.

I'm excited for the Nintendo Direct. I'm looking forward to learning more about the games that have already been announced and I can't wait to see which surprises they have in store. I'm already a very happy Wii U owner and I know that this show is only going to make me happier.

Bring it on, Nintendo!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I think the main thing to keep in mind is that based on what they've said Nintendo has no interest in blowing a 2 - 3 year software load this time around. They are, in many ways, still playing catch up on games that were announced fucking ages ago that will fill the focus: late 2015 + early 2016 games.

EDIT: I will say that this is the first Direct in a while that doesn't have much known stuff that I'm personally very excited for, other than stuff that have already been explored to death and thus extra exposure is kinda of irrelevant. Star Fox is about the only big new thing I want to know more of. Further interest hinges on new announcements, which I don't think we'll get many of, and even then I don't give a shit about stuff like Animal Crossing.

It's a prediction—it doesn't need a source. NeoGAF is about discussion. Just because you don't agree with that discussion, doesn't mean I should stop posting. Perhaps to add to the discussion, you can bring counter-points to my arguments and we can have a discussion.

If you don't want to add to the discussion except a "lolno", then please stop replying to me.

Except you have no points. All you're doing is saying "IT WILL HAPPEN! PROVE ME WRONG!" and pretending you have a point. You don't. Period. If it does happen, you don't get to gloat because all that happen is that your guess is accurate. Though it will help the Neogaf's vindictive culture.

You want to know why I don't think the NX won't appear in 2016? I don't. Because I don't care. What I do care is you coming to this thread repeatedly bringing the mood down solely for the reason of bringing the mood down. So what if it isn't showing up this E3? Are you going to be like that other poster and start begging for Nitnendo to die than you to be wrong?

Ok, let's see

- We knew since the Micro Direct that they would've focused on 2015-Early 2016 at E3. This doesn't mean that stuff outside that window can't be announced, though. Should I remember you all the times we got announcements outside the specified window in a Direct? It even happened in the last Japanese Direct.
- We also knew there wouldn't have been NX/Mobile/QOL. Why are people still surprised about that
- Going by usual schedule, we can make a fair guess about NX, and say that it's probably going to be a handheld. Or, going by Iwata's words, possibly the portable form factor of their new family-of-devices initiative. Which could indeed mean that, after all, it represents Wii U's successor spiritually, but still: it won't be a home console.
- It is possible they'll announce it and release it in the same year. I don't get why people think that what happened in the past (announcement one year, release later) is going to happen again, especially in the current social era, where you can pull off successfully a quicker announcement-to-launch period. The longest we'll have to wait for it is Q1 2017 (Jan-Mar)
- Personal opinion: probably 2016 will be the last year where we'll still see a decent pace of games on Wii U, 2017 will be when things will slow down a lot
- Almost forgot: No hybrid.
Click to expand...

this is extremely true. remember that PS4 and Xbox one were released within about a year of being revealed, and thats mainly because they did the reveal before e3. ~9 months for PS4 and 7 for Xbox one. they can reveal it in a direct sometime next year before e3, and then show it off and fully go at it the e3. or they can do that next year, i still feel like they will release it 2017 to try to squeeze a bit more life out of smash and MK on wii u

Well you can buy a bigger battery now...

..and considering the Wii U is only capable of streaming a 480p image to the gamepad..a HD screen won't make any difference.

The Wii was the only console last generation, that was as traditional as you can get.

No patches. Just put the disc in -> play. No multimedia bullcrap. No installations. Just play games. The other 2 acted like restricted PCs.

And when you remove motion control + pointer functionality from the Wiimote, then it's basically a NES controller + a separate analog stick.

I never said I expected NX to be at this thing. I don't even know how it's bring your "mood" down, by saying they will launch a home console in 2016. This thing will announce games that already started development on their current architecture/platform. How the hell am I begging for Nintendo to die? Pls explain. In fact, launching a new platform could breathe new life into the company, much like amiibo did.

Also here are the points:
1. Apple is eating into their former market. Wii U is not the answer, and they know this. They have to launch a new platform before their former market completely forgets about them.
2. Zelda being delayed is analogous to Zelda being delayed for Gamecube; there is precedent for a delayed Zelda to show up on two platforms, including the launch of a new platform.
3. No third parties is an issue that is growing bigger and bigger. Back in the days, we used to have first-party franchises people bought consoles for. Now, everyone wants a complete experience, including third party games. In general, third party games are selling a lot more now than before, and as a result, are shifting consoles. Nintendo has a home console market base of ~10M current. Now look at Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which both launched 12 months after Wii U. Case in point: they need something to attract a broad audience. In fact, Iwata mentioned this at E3 as the goal of Wii U; unfortunately, that did not pan out for them.

Can't believe the non-hype in here!

We're getting a release date for Xenoblade Chronicles X. And Star Fox info.

Anything else is a huge bonus. And there WILL be plenty more.

There are so many issues with this though. There are no dual-gamepad games so the premium version would render the older one useless. It's not like "Oh well now you'll have two for all those multiplayer games." Like... no, that old gamepad would just be junk. Plus the cost would be a major barrier.

And I mean there's no good reason to focus on R&D for WiiU anymore. That money is best spent on the future, not a stagnant system.

Can't agree with the bolded. Reading this thread, I'm not sure I've ever seen LESS hype for Nintendo's Event.

And you can dream on regarding the gamepad.

Nintendo de-hyped it. "No Zelda". "No NX". The message seems clear to me: They're giving us a low-key e3 before the hardware reveal of 2016.

It was said NX is a "dedicated video game hardware". It can be anything.
Click to expand...

And Iwata also said (during the last investor meeting) that the NX will address the demands of different markets, giving the user base difference between Japan and the most Western countries as an example.

In Japan, the home console business is dead and moving quickly towards mobile gaming, and the NX will adapt to that.

I get the perspective, I really do. Its good to be able to see something spectacular and be able to play it within a year. In the same vein, I am greatly looking forward to Fallout 4 and its amazing crafting system, announced so recently, and hopefully released within half a year from now.

But I get excited about things further along too. It certainly makes me positive for the future of a console, gives optimism towards the long-term prospects of the console format, and is generally very very exciting. Just like when Twilight Princess was announced two-and-a-half years before its release. What Sony did last night was literally that, three times over. Its created energy.

I have a feeling - and again, I'd love to be wrong - but most of the stuff we are going to see in Nintendo's show will be games we are already aware of. Again, hopefully I'm completely on a wrong tangent here.

I do not see the connection between "no NX in 2015" and "waiting for hardware reveal of 2016". Would it really be better if they announced NX in 2015, leaving Wii U in even worse situation than now for a year or so?

With that one person (lost the post) saying that they saw some version of the direct and "don't get too hyped" I'll try and keep my expectations in check. I don't think Nintendo is out to "win" anything anymore. They're just gonna do their thing.

So I'm expecting Starfox U and nothing else. Honestly they could actually not show a whole lot, and keep announcing things via directs like they've been doing.

"Oh hey guys, how is this random Wednesday going for you? Mother three is out right now"

I'd love to see them go for the throat this e3. I think as long as starfox is looking good I'll be happy. That's all it'll take to satisfy me

I want great games.

I would really love to hear: "oh btw. you can now download Mother 3 on Wii U right after this Direct".

Wonder how amiibo support will be used in SMM. I definately see the Mario line being used for playable characters. Play as peach with the peach amiibo.

I'd be pretty fucking cool of we got, say Samus or Link amiibo support though

The only way Nintendo can get as much hype as Sony, and "win" E3 is by having Mother 3, Zelda gameplay trailer and a new PokeRPG for WiiU.

Your first paragraph makes no sense. EA doesn't own Retro, Nintendo does. Nintendo isn't in the habit of killing off its 1st party studios. If it was, Monolith Soft wouldn't exist, let alone make an even more ambitious sequel to a game that quite frankly didn't sell that well.

Also, yeah, I don't believe you. I not saying that YOU will complain, but there will be a thread dedicated to complaining about how it isn't Metroid Prime 4. in fact, if it isn't a "dark" "western-type" game, there will be a complaint thread how Nintendo is wasting its western studios skills. If it IS a dark western-type game, then people will have a complain thread how its not Metroid Prime 4.

Also, nice to see you took insult to the word petty, because that is what this is. Petty. We're arguing whether or not a game Retro, which by all accounts have only made games they want to make, deserves to exist at all. If you don't like the game, don't buy it. No one's forcing you. Retro will continue to make games because Nintendo isn't EA and life will go on. Calm down.
Click to expand...

Lol, im calm down, it sems its you that is crying because people clearly do not want another donkey kong.
I dont really give too much importance what retro does at the end of the day, i they do something I dont want (another donkey kong game) I will clearly not buy it, and of course im going to say, welp that was a dissapointment, but im not gonna cry all year or anything, i didnt even when DKCTF was unveiled. I said it was a dissapointment, in that thread, once, and then continued with my life.

About you dont believing me about what people are going to say, we will just have to wait for that. For me, its only an opinion of what I think is going to happen. Im pretty sure if the game looks GREAT and its not a platformer, people will love it, even if its not a "dark" western game. Dark western game? nope, but people are hoping for some type of adventure game, new IP or not, thats for sure, because that coming from retro would be really cool. Im sure theres going to be some detractors if its some sport or minimalistic kind of game, even if it looks great, theres always an amount of people they are going to critize, EVEN it its MP4, saying they wanted a new IP instead.
Lets just wait, maybe they announce nothing from their part.

Yeah like that time Skyward Sword moved to Wii U when it got delayed and when wind waker got pushed to Wii when it got delayed. Oh or when Ocarina of Time got pushed to GameCube.

Literally every fucking 3D Zelda game has gotten a Delay. We dont even have an actual title for this one. Of course it got delayed. This argument is the stupidest shit I've ever seen.

And I really don't want to see more of games that we already know much about, like Super Mario Maker. Don't get me wrong, the game looks incredible, but that game was the star of the NWC show.
