100%
Expect the fact that we won't hear anything about it this year.
"We will not be discussing NX today. Please look forward to the reveal which will take place at a later date."
TW101 just tires me out. It never stops to breathe.
I think they'll just save that for a bigger blow out after the holidays. No point in revealing any big surprise titles since the console and games aren't out until March and they'd just get forgotten about over the holiday game rush anyway.
If they show more than Zelda NX it would probably just be already known about things like Pikmin 4, or a new Animal Crossing rather than showing something like a new Mario or Metroid or whatever Retro has been working on. They need to save that stuff to ramp up the hype again after the holidays.
It will impact greatly. The Wii and DS was why a lot of investors got in. They were told last time March would be a release date, and still no word on it's existence.
Really? I thought they covered it all in the last direct. I guess we will see.
Ah, I'm not an AC fan so figured there was a lot more to it. And zoned out during that part of the ND, sorry. I might be totally wrong then, but at the least I don't think it was confirmed that the AC Direct is about the mobile game.

Oh no, I did exactly the same!
The AC Direct is about the amiibo update for New Leaf first and foremost.
Also, how are you of all people not into AC.
There will be questions about it for sure (if they haven't revealed it yet) but I really doubt there will be a big stock drop or big issue if they don't give many details. The majority of their stock movement over the past couple years has been due to mobile announcements/results.
The final part will leave you breathless.

I bet you were both on the "They'll say something before E3 about NX!" hype train.
Logical thinking said: "They won't say anything until E3!"
Then Nintendo said: "Fuck all of you, WE AIN'T SAYING SHIT AT E3."
pessimism is the way to go when we're talking about Nintendo.
Same. They told investors at the last meeting that they'd talk about NX later this year. I can't imagine they won't do a reveal before this meeting so investors no what it is and they can spend the meeting on the usual stuff about project revenues rest of this year and for NX launch etc.
I just can't see it getting delayed as that would mean either 1) Delaying Zelda again which would be a huge shit show after dedicating their entire E3 to it; 2) Having Zelda on Wii months before the NX version is available, which will cannibalize sales as many like me would just play the Wii U Version and probably not pick up an NX at launch unless there's some other huge surprise like Metroid Prime 4 or something.
I don't care enough about stuff like a possible 3D Mario, Pikmin 4 etc. to buy day one if I've already played Zelda on Wii U. An enhanced version of BotW, and being able to play it on the go assuming the NX is a hybrid, is the main appeal to me.
I don't get the pessimism either. Just a week or so ago most where saying we would get NX news before the investors meeting and all of a sudden that's changed -for what reason I don't know.As would I. I don't know what it is about NeoGAF but pessimism seems to get in the way of logical thinking.
Can you imagine how bad the meltdowns will be if there is still no NX reveal by the time of this briefing?
Although, after how the last Nintendo earnings briefing went down, I don't believe that Nintendo will have any choice but to talk NX. They have to show the new device off by then and start confirming games that will be available during the launch window. As part of their responsibility to the share holders they need to prove that they have a viable financial plan for the fiscal year, which is something they didn't really have at the last briefing. "Trust us, the project code named NX exists and we will show it at a later date" won't work this time.
Nintendo has made some bold money making moves into mobile gaming, and I imagine the Amiibo market is still making them some decent bank, but the Wii U is limping to its death and the 3DS is in serious need of a replacement device. The time to unveil the NX as the future of Nintendo needs to be no later than this briefing later this month.
I don't think so especially that it'll be presumably launching this fiscal year"We will not be discussing NX today. Please look forward to the reveal which will take place at a later date."

Seriously. GAF is crazy.
Just play some videogames. I'm working through Okami and MGS2 while replaying RE5, RE6, and BioShock Infinite. Also about to start Ico and SotC.
If you have a gaming itch, scratch it!
Or if not this event, then certainly some event, some day, according to my Twitter insider sources @NoNXNoPeace14 and @MushroomKingdomGuy
So this is where they'll announce the delay?
We are merging home consoles and handhelds into one entity. Our goal is to eliminate brand confusion. We are proud to announce our new system will be named "NEW Wii U DSi lite XL""We are excited to officially announce our new console, which has been codenamed the NX up until now. I present to you, the Wii U Slim!"

Surely the only reason for an announcement delay is software not being ready to show off and/or doubts about the release window.
I expect Nintendo will go into earnings and revised projections. If they do talk about the NX, it'll probably be to announce a delay. At this point I don't think a March launch is in the cards, but I'd be really happy to be wrong.

I've seen big ads for Pokemon Sun and Moon in Paris today. Weeks before release.
I think their plan is to go all out on Pokemon for Christmas, riding the go hype. They'll keep NX for january and a 2 months marketing blitz.
It could be possible that the reception of Pokemon Go made them change their plans.
I hope I'm wrong.
Mostly because Nintendo hasn't revealed the nx or talked about it in the time period that's convenient for these people.Why are people saying delay? Patience my friends.
You forget one thing:Pokemon Sun & Moon gets a year of marketing, not even counting the 20th anniversary stuff and Pokemon GO. It'll probably end up selling 13+ million as every new Pokemon Gen does.
The NX, Nintendo's next system that they're staking a majority of their business on... gets 2 months.
Wonder what happens to the stock when they announce the NX delay to Q4 2017.
Surely the only reason for an announcement delay is software not being ready to show off and/or doubts about the release window.

Lmao, yep."Also um, Mario Run still exists..."

You forget one thing:Its Nintendo, and they work in mysterious ways.
Anywayz: Don't think it'll get delayed, but if it does I'm scratching my head at everyone saying they'll have nothing. Sure, a weaker year, but Pikmin, Mario Sports, Ever Oasis, Yarn Yoshi, Dragon Quest VIII, Etrian Odyssey V, and Pokemon/Mario Maker/Mario Party this year is still pretty good.
Mario Maker and Mario Sports will be bigger than people are expecting. Especially since the three new sports in the new Mario Sports games aren't developed by Camelot. I expect Yarn Yoshi to be fairly big aswell. Just because its a port doesn't mean it won't sell well.
I still expect NX in March however. I just wish I knew price and launch lineup already.
If they show more than Zelda NX it would probably just be already known about things like Pikmin 4, or a new Animal Crossing rather than showing something like a new Mario or Metroid or whatever Retro has been working on. They need to save that stuff to ramp up the hype again after the holidays.
Still holding on to that Pikmin exists for NX theory?
That'd be like if that Star Fox game he hinted that he was working on was actually a new Star Fox game.and not a remake
