Just so it's clear and to not have him chased off with pitchforks, I assure you that if/when (probably the latter) this thread gets closed, it's not going to be because of Calm Mind. We are aware that this is mostly a fluff thread that exists only to placate fanxiety.
But the question begs itself: Will this thread last until the announcement thread?
Console cause that'll be how I play it most of the time

Why don't we first wait for the unveil and see if there's any meaningful docking enhancements. I mean, I'm just spitballing here without talking to any other mods to form a consensus, but my lean is that if it's primarily a tablet that optionally docks to a TV without any meaningful "console mode" enhancements, then it's a portable.

That's the first sensate thing i read in this thread, well i guess we should just open a new thread entirely dedicated on NX screenshots, after all that's part of the Nintendo difference

Weren't you the one asking for optimism a few minutes ago?
He's the one asking for every NX thread to get locked.
"We" don't "think" anything. It's likely to be revealed in the next two months. Or not. But if they want to release in March, i think a november reveal is as late as they should target.
Maybe.

Meh. In all honesty -- and I know people will disagree -- but closing this thread wouldn't be some pessimistic "NoFunAllowed.jpg" move. It's honestly just a call for sanity to get out of the hype train loop. You know, where we are making ourselves crazy as we await an announcement that prepares us to begin waiting for the reveal so that we can begin waiting for the release. I mean, I get it. We're all fans here and there's nothing wrong with some degree of enthusiasm. But the flip side is that people do kind of get themselves all worked up over fucking nothing. "Just give me a date to be hyped up over Nintendo... that's all I'm asking for."
But the question begs itself: Will this thread last until the announcement thread?

It'll be interesting to see how most people use it.
Gaaawdd we gotta wait for the reveal for everything!
I honestly don't understand what the problem is. Are people killing themselves over it? Lock this thread, and everything will just shift to another thread. Just like it happened the last time Stump locked a thread, and the 3 times before that, when modbot locked a thread.
It's getting close now, and no matter of thread locking is going to change that. If anything, put the ones that are starting to lose their minds on a "break". No need to punish the ones that are discussing the console/reveal sanely. I still think the previous thread shouldn't have been locked, because apart from two guys discussing twitter sources, that thread was a lot more sane than this one. Which again shows, that locking a thread is not an answer in cases like these.
If there's a press conference a reveal before TGS would be a little late, unless Nintendo sent out invites a while ago. If there's a Nintendo Direct only then it's possible. The current expectations in this thread for a reveal are from September 20 to early October.
There are more and more comments lately that make me think they're just gonna get the topic closed sooner. I tried pointing it out before in hopes that people will stop doing it, but it only seems to work on some individuals. In the end there's just too many who keep doing it. It's a bit disappointing, because I feel there's some interesting discussions going on once in a while, but they usually end up overshadowed by fear mongering or memes.
I wish there was a way to keep being able to discuss (even when there's not something to discuss every single moment of the day) while also keeping the spammy posts out.

If this thing is really going to launch in March we are going to get a ton of leaks going forward, maybe even photos of the actual thing.
True! Where is Farfetch'd when we need him?

Just start making up some more rumors, GAF. Nintendo's silence on this is too much to take 
NO! that's the most awful thing you can do right now. Look, I know you guys care about the quality of the posts here and I would agree that sometimes we do go a little bit crazy. But closing this thread won't solve the problem. A soon as a new NX thread will pop up all of us frequent posters will go there and discuss rumors until we are at the same point again. It already happened twice.
Give us some breathing room please. Let us speculate, crack jokes, and vent. So far no one has insulted another, no one claimed to have insider knowledge when they don't. By and large we are playing by the rules, and if some people veer a little too much into crazy land then the appropriate step would be to delete such posts, not close the whole thing down. Personally speaking, speculation over a console is probably one of the most fun things to do in a forum such as NeoGAF and Nintendo speculation is especially exciting since no one really knows what to expect.
Please don't take that away.

Who are you to decide what the mood of a thread should be or when a thread should be closed?
Hey I take great pride in my memes.
Yup. And then we wait again lol. The life of a gamer.
Seemingly not for Wii U, and no rumors of it having 3DS BC, but there are some rumored Wii U ports and it's a safe bet that most every other Nintendo system will have VC available. Probably everything except VB, Wii U and maybe GCN and 3DS.
You. Out. Now. Seriously.
Just ignore the thread if you hate it so much instead of desperately wanting it gone because you believe the rumors are a hoax.
Edit: Well, the current conversation is going to get it locked for sure. Congratulations. I can't wait to see your reaction if the rumors are true...

Based on absolutely nothing, I'm thinking the NX will be able to play 3DS games through some kind of configuration on it.
At the same time, glad that leaks haven't been suggesting dual screens or clam shell designs. Looking forward to seeing some games move forward without them
Question: is there any indication that Virtual Console titles will migrate over to NX without needing to be put up on the new NX online marketplace? Really don't want to have to wait for them to put up games again

Obviously he's a "Calm Mind". Kneel before his divine wisdom, for we are not worthy of his attention.
The 3DS's GPU might not be easy to emulate though.

Most likely not. Would mean having to include old tech and dual screens which would raise the price.
3DS might be weak enough to emulate on NX and Wii U's software are good candidates for NX ports. There aren't too many stand outs, but the stand outs would likely work pretty well on it and if NX sells it'll be new software for many consumers.

Re: The bolded. How can we be so sure? How do we know that it hasn't been delayed again!?
And yes, I'm mostly just being facetious here.

Yeah, I have no clue what goes into stuff like that. But, from a purely aesthetic approach, I could see a vertical NX setup playing DS/3DS games. Or maybe however the Wii U handles DS games on the gamepad!

I just want to throw this out there. I saw a topic someone made about The Last Story. I would love to get a Last Story sequel for NX. I really enjoyed the game and the whole atmosphere of it.
Sakaguchi is so great when it comes to making console games. I hope Nintendo can get him to make another one for NX! We need some more JRPGs!

Now this is a post I can get behind. The Last Story was phenomenal.
One thing I'm glad we can count on is traditional controls to some extent because of Zelda. Now as for the new way to play, maybe an evolution of the analog stick / circle pad? I want it to be weird and strange but it works and its freaking awesome. Only Nintendo can pull it off.

Nintendo: Putting the "nx" in anxiety since early 2015.
I think we need to get regrounded in the rumors we were following. At this point we're all just rocking back and forth in paranoia over when the announcement date is coming.
Its been a weird several days without mockups.

As we know, the reason Iwata revealed the existence of NX so early was to assuage fears that Nintendo no longer was going to make dedicated video game hardware--but that was nearly a year and a half ago, and I can guarantee you that the press's (and general public's) main takeaway from that March 2015 day was that Nintendo entered the mobile games market.
Fast-forward to the Apple event, and we got Super Mario Run, which many consider to be Nintendo's first all-in mobile game (not counting Pokemon, since Niantic / TPC handled that one). Again, we see Nintendo receiving massive press and general public attention regarding entering the mobile games industry -- but this time, no NX announcement in tandem to assuage the fears that Nintendo is exiting dedicated games hardware.
I feel that if Nintendo wants to keep its software-driven dedicated hardware business as the core forefront of its overall model (which Kimishima's "Message from the President" on Nintendo's investor relations website still states is the case), then they should talk about NX very, very soon. Hell, I've got some friends who casually play Nintendo games starting to question the existence of NX at this point; that can't be good for the core of their business.

Yeah, sure that would be neat. Would help not run like garbage like Last Story on Wii and it can probably look pretty good on NX while being fairly cheap to make. The linear campaign was quite good and I enjoyed the combat. Maybe making it feel a bit more open would do the sequel good.
I really hope Nintendo keeps investing in titles like that and Bayonetta 2, titles that likely won't make a lot of money but it'll expand their portfolio. With a potentially larger install base with a system that's capable of making good looking games but likely at a cheaper budget they can probably make a ton of games for it. Depending on the 3rd party output they might have to
