Not in the way we expected, but Nintendo just might have taken some mindshare off of Sony today. Hit them with the double whammy NX, Nintendo!

Nintendo just made such a great move. Get Mario exposed before NX releases.

Yep, along with Pokemon Go this Mario app could help NX, "do you like Pokemon and Mario phone "mini" games? then buy NX to play the full more immersive and complex experience, for just 199$ and able to play anywhere!!!! NX love love love!"

It's just another runner with a Mario skin.

Yep, but I'm actually interested in seeing more as I read it's pay once, play forever. I just need to see how much that is first. I mean, currently I'm stuck playing "Steppy Pants" on my iPhone whenever I have a few minutes to kill either at a store line or something, I wouldn't mind playing this too.

It'd be odd if PS4 Slim/Neo leaked out ages ago but they were able to keep "Trinity" quiet for this long.

Well, Trinity is a made-up name, so...

It would be hilarious, though. NX and PlayStation Rinascita around the same power, but GAF favoring the PSP3 just because of a 1080p screen and saying that NX is archaic.

Maybe the NX is actually just a social experiment. In which case, it's technically already been revealed. We're all technically "playing" it right now.

I wanted to post something similar along the lines. The entire wait/speculation frenzy is Nintendo's new way of entertainment.

They'll just send you the invoice later.

Yeah, but now hopefully they'll keep the momentum going, next week they have to announce NX with Mario and Pokemon games ready

This is a good point. They've created momentum, and should ride it. I doubt that they will though. I wish the September 9th date were a real one. It would be perfect timing.

If Sony announce a new handheld today, nobody will care, just like nobody cared about the Vita, and people only cared about the PSP because it was piss easy to crack and play emulators on.

The way I remember, the Vita was pretty hyped when it came out. It was a more powerful alternative to the 3DS at an affordable price, why wouldn't it be. The moment where it started to become a joke was when Capcom announced Monster Hunter 3G and 4 for 3DS at once. That put lot of pressure on Sony to show off their own Monster Hunter game at TGS, which of course they didn't have. Ono was even running around tweeting "I thought I saw Monster Hunter for the Vita, but it looks like it was just God Eater".

Briefly checking Garaph to refresh my memory, 3DS launched at 371,326 in Japan. Vita launched at 321,407. Vita's sales fell a lot further a lot faster, but it's not like nobody paid attention to it from the start.

As for the PSP, I'm pretty sure that is some insanely revisionist history. In the West it actually did well at first because of titles like Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy. But it died off, only to be revived in Japan with Monster Hunter Portable 2.

Now we know why we havent got the NX reveal info, Nintendo was planing to be at the Apple event and needs this info in the news

So I expect NX reveal date announced later this week or next week, once this news cools down, makes sense

Guess Nintendo will dominate the news today lol

Well when I joked last night that Nintendo showing up at Apples conference, I was only half serious. It does make one wonder though. Is it time for Nintendo to sell out to Apple or Disney.

Or also makes sense for Nintendo to create the official controller for smart phone games. Nintendo's ideas have always been the forefront of refinement by Sony and Microsoft. Shoulder pads, returning to a joystick, rumble pack, etc.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.

No, we didn't get news earlier this year because nintendo are incompetent at marketing their own products. Didn't you know that?

Nintendo so SCARED of Apple they showed a game
..And SCARED. Incompetent and SCARED.

You're joking about Nintendo being scared, but you didn't notice that for that very reason Miyamoto was wearing adult diapers on stage.

You want to talk about good marketing, having mobile games available for platforms owned by near everyone(iOS, Android) that can do your advertising for you of your new console, genius.

In addition(and I'm not into the console wars and own a PS4 and look forward to Sony event) this pulls eyes away from Sony for even a second, at the very least Sony has to share a day with Nintendo that they planned to spend alone, very smart move, and kind of aggressive considering what we have come to expect from Nintendo.

Keep on praising Nintendo for making an Endless runner that costs 10 bucks brehs

It's OK when Nintendo does it, apparently.

Also, this could actually be good. I loved Sonic Runners. But this one just looked soooooooooo freaking slooooooooooooooooooooooow and dull. Dunno, hopefully it won't be crap. I wouldn't say no to it if it's actually good.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Friends, I learned something today.

Major entities that aren't scared of the competition:

Apple
Sony
Kanye West

Major entities that are fucking SCARED:

Nintendo

This post after today is...well, kinda funnier in retrospective.

Sorry Anth0ny

I honestly doubt it and I'm not just trolling/being negative there. I doubt they'll be doing anything NX related for at least a few weeks now.

Are you kidding? Everybody is talking about Nintendo now. This is the perfect time to ride that wave and announce NX.
