The darkest timeline.
yup
Then its best to just assume the latest we'll hear of it will be in march.
At 11:58 PM on September 30, time and space folds back on itself and we end up back here at this point in this thread. SMD wins.

It's not so much as polishing a turd as it's a different idea
GAF goes full Frieza and blows up the earth
Edit: I just remembered that there's Pokemon news tomorrow. An NX announcement date is there for unlikely, so a pre-TGS reveal if practically ruled out now.
I'd be inclined to agree that this sounds great, but the bolded is my only concern. I'd imagine it'd need a coupler of sorts to not be a crampingly close together (and unattractive) block.
Whether that just makes this more complicated than it should, I don't know for sure, but I feel it'd be necessary.
And then we do it again on TV with a smaller budget, but at least a token effort to have some kind of tension.

GAF mods are driven crazy as they need to lock thousands of NX begging threads.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
So all signs point to the NX abandoning the TV button, which is kind of a bummer. When WiiU launched, I figured powering on the TV and switching inputs would be a stable of controllers going froward. It's just so convenient to launch a game on the controller screen and power on the television without the need for an extra remote.
If they could do that AFTER I play BotW that'd be nice.

I assume there won't be much if any 2nd screen stuff so a TV button is likely not necessary at this point
5 MINUTES. THAT'S HOW LONG YOU HAVE.

It's April and you're crying. Making insane outbursts towards Nintendo that you will never listen to them ever again, as the NX and Zelda were to be released last month.
It's been two years of constantly posting on forums. All the insane speculations, sketches, rumors and "alleged" insiders finally get to you. Enraged, you think to yourself, "how can such a great company not deliver to their most hardcore fans?".
You go online and suddenly, Nintendo has pulled down all interviews, videos and talk of the NX and BotW. Reggie is pressed for interviews. Constantly being asked what happened. He refuses to comment and praises the great software that you can only experience on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
You begin to scream and shout that, you don't understand. Furious, you throw your gamepad like a throwing star across the room. After the meltdown, you head out to work. But, while heading downstairs, you hear something.
You go downstairs and Kimishima, dressed in a red santa outfit. You quickly realized that it's not Christmas, and you've been so fazed by the NX that you may be hallucinating. But, no, it's true. Kimishima-claus can be seen bursting out the door.
You chase after him, screaming and panting. Sprinting and out of breath, you blink, and he is out of sight. Exhausted, you return home, thinking about posting online. How Nintendo has lost your trust and it's connection with it's fans. Starting petitions online to have Nintendo join Sony and Microsoft. The most rotten and ill Nintendo thoughts ever.
Heading home, you open the door, anticipating your posts you're about to make online. One tear sheds from your eye, realizing you and Nintendo are no more.
As you open the door, something is different. You notice a random box on the floor. You open the box carefully, sweating and that one tear is still dropping down your face. Your greasy palms cannot believe what you're looking at.
It's the Nintendo NX and a copy of Breath of the Wild. A note is attached, saying, "please understand".

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It'll get revealed later.
Though I do personally think missing the holiday season in terms of announcements will hurt in terms of budgeting for some.
I'm not sure how much though.
I do think it will hurt in terms of stock/investment wise if they go through the rest of the year with just lip service vs actual reveal info.

The NX became self aware on August 29th 1997. In a panic Nintendo tried to pull the plug. The NX then launched its nuclear missiles at Sony, knowing the counterattack would wipe out Nintendo.

Winter of 2016/2017 will be remembered as "The Endless Winter."
Is the legendary 100th use of that pun?

That's... not really how it works.
Then I start drinking again.
I doubt Nintendo will be able to ship many NX units if they wait until January/February to reveal NX.
They're not Apple, they don't have Apple stores littered around the world.
They're coming off the Wii U and I doubt stores like GameStop will stock many units and will just go off of preorder numbers.
So with this random reasoning, I'd only expect a delay of the NX if they don't reveal it late September/early October.
And then I wait for October 27th for Nintendo's financial briefing with investors.

Or it's reaaaaaaaal. And that rumour about 8 new characters for Smash is also reaaaaaaal.
How trust the report if even this simple info failed?

1. A number of other outlets have corroborated most of the other info without mentioning the reveal date.
2. Reveal dates can change much more easily than the hardware internals or concept can.

IIRC, Tanabe said that it was too late to make a Metroid game for Wii U so it would have to be NX.
Things like planned dates can change internally especially over a month in advance.
I believe this was before Sony's event was announced so that could give Nintendo a strong reason to move the date
Either that or Nintendo may have chose to push back the reveal to avoid competition with Sony & Apple.
Either way, I do expect a reveal in the near future.
Pretty crazy how we went from "Year of the NX" to "Other companies are announcing hardware so Nintendo should probably wait".

My tv remotes are all in a closet somewhere since I use the game pad for practically everything. It will certainly be sad to that functionality go.
Thanks for the info, all. We shall see what happens! I'm hoping for Nintendo news this week but perhaps they'll want to wait till after the Sony hullaballoo.
Yeah, I have my TV sync to my receiver so I only needed the gamepad to get ready all my setup :3

Which means any time after that is open space for a reveal.
Unless Sony's "We're going to aggressively target mobile" has some other implications as well...
The 6th (lol) and the 20th (hah).
Like the hat?

If nx isn't shown this month, my prediction is that there will be at least three threads on October first complaining about how Nintendo lied.

The real surprise will be when the NX is revealed at the Apple conference, and we discover the system is a collaboration between Nintendo and Apple.

I'd say October 14th would be the latest I'd expect NX to be revealled. Nintendo has usually held directs in between mid-September to Mid-October unveiling their major releases in the first half of the following year.
what if it is revealed on october 1 so nintendo can announce it in collaboration with matchbox twenty's 20th year anniversary of 'yourself or someone like you'
