Indeed, can't wait for that Pokemon news in the morning,
Thought more about me buying some water, but well, that could be another thing.
Sony to unveil the PlayStation Vita Phone with the launch title Invizimals Go: The Revenge of Santa Monica and the search for Curly's Gold

Someone made this mock up, not sure if it has been posted
I think the detachable controllers would be rounder on all sides, but that's just me. It seems like a pretty good visualization of what it could be like, though. Hadn't thought of a "gameboy" mode, but I'm not sure that'll be comfortable (holding a 6" tablet by the bottom like that sounds really heavy)

Don't forget nintendoomed, of course.
Sony with the Neo is only a hardware refresh, NX will be a new system.
Is bad sign if Nintendo is afraid that a hardware refresh will overshadow the NX :/

I just feel like if its not shown yall will curate more rumors then saying oct.. then nov.. then dec.. then jan.. etc..
This has been happening since Jan 2016 for heavensake

I think people forget or things just "reset".
Zelda being delayed in 2017, a few months after being reconfirmed for 2016 should've been the last straw in terms of "taking Nintendo at their word".
But enough time passes, and then doubting Nintendo is just being too pessimistic.
EDIT: Well, you're actually just talking about rumors, not really Nintendo themselves.

Really? I think Nintendo is paranoid as Sony/MS attempts to copy everything they do to be 'different'.
Also, why does Sony & MS need system 'refreshes' right now at this time? I don't recall any generation where this has been done.

It makes sense for them to do this. Last gen they made powerful yet expensive consoles to last what was for Sony's plan, 10 years.
Now we have modestly powerful and less expensive consoles with hardware upgrades that would be much cheaper to make it powerful now than if they made the PS4 as powerful as the Neo from day 1.
sony, microsoft, and nintendo caught on to the idea that dedicated hardware is declining given the overall sales each first party saw from this generation and the overall direction the industry is taking.
sony is putting their eggs into the console basket and dipping their toes into the pc waters. microsoft is pretty much going all in with their games being console and pc and the xbox being a brand for a sort of digital platform instead of dedicated hardware. nintendo looks to be doing something similar to microsoft, but trying to focus it all on different form factors for dedicated hardware while they use mobile as a marketing opportunity for their brands.
I'm sure tomorrow something indeed will happen

I see two scenarios as being most likely:
1.) The reveal is the day before TGS
2.) The reveal is announced during TGS.
1.) The reveal is the day before TGS
2.) The reveal is announced during TGS.
Water is important...
Yeah I know, did it anyway lol
Sounds Awesome
The second scenario would be hilarious because I guessed 15th September over a month ago without even checking to see any events which I found out later it was the first day of TGS.
(To which I felt I wasted a guess.)
Sounds Awesome
Oh dear.
Just hope Nintendo have used this time to get all their ducks in a row and really nail the reveal. You want to get people excited for it, and you don't do that by showing Wii Fit 3 or Mii Party NeXt or whatever.
After all this time, they should have a really good lineup of big games to show though, so hopefully they do and they present it well.

NX is going to be unveiled in the five minute window between Apple's conference and Sony's event.

I really do feel like having so many options or configurations will be the death knell for this thing. I think the beautiful and attractiveness of the Wii to the mass market was that you just used the Wiimote.
An unprecedented partnership. Nintendo Xperia.

Ya know, people joke about NX getting delayed but I kinda wish it would be.
Why you ask? This is why. I made this list a few months and updated it with the new announcements.this is a list of all the games I want:

I on average have $50 a month to spend on games.
Most of these games will just completely go out of stock and start going up in price before I ever get a chance to buy them since I'd rather buy physical, but I guess its nice atleast knowing I...should always have the option for digital. (RIP in piece first Senran Kagura Vita game.)
If I'm lucky, including NX and Zelda I will maybe be able to get 10 of these next year, not even including unannounced NX games.
There are literally too many games. So Nintendo, I'm fine with a delay to 2019. Just give me plenty of time to get the games I want please.

You used the wii mote sideways as a NES Pad, you could plug in a nunchuck or even another controller. I don't think this would be that much different.
But in that mock up the NX can do literally everything the Wii can, some of what the Wii U could do, and a bunch of other things
I'm pretty sure this is a Gaf-> Internet -> Gaf situation
Edit: Yep, here's the post from a few days ago

There's probably going to be a lot of games you want next year. Assuming you follow the industry and have somewhat diverse taste 50$ a month has never been enough to buy you every game coming out that you want, and that's been true since the 80s.

Having the controllers being able to attach to the top/bottom too would allow DS backwards compatibility.
most of the posts here seem to be about Handheld rumors. Any thoughts or info on the stuff in SuperMetalDave's Latest video?
Personally, kinda hoping for more of a console than handheld. And something more powerful than the ps4 and within range of the NEO would be pretty awesome

Unless there's a major boost in relative screen size, the capacitive touch screen would be less sensitive than the original resistive type, so pixel-perfect accuracy (expected in some DS software) would be out of the question.
The giant wave of rumors from trusted sources a few weeks ago were all in unison saying "docking handheld." If there is another NX device in the works (and that's a big IF because no one but outliers--and probably regular liars--mentioned such a thing then), we know nothing about it from a reliable source. That's why no one's talking about it.

Right, I agree, but for the majority of them it would work.
nintendo has already spoken to the people who they want to do business with. nintendo's not making a device for everyone to dump their ports onto for launch like what happened with 3ds and wii u. they'll be more or less curating the library and support to build their userbase. in return they'll help with marketing in the form of nintendo directs and other support.

Yep. From Nintendo I feel like Smash 5, Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing, and 3D Mario are all likely. Who knows what else they can pull off.
Just have to pick and choose what I want the most and say goodbye to everything else. I am glad that I have gotten more into online games so I still have a big backlog over the years since I used to have more and blew it alot and the online games slow down sp games ince I usually play 50-70 hours online a month.
Just wish I knew some NX games already. Besides maybe also paying off Pokemon Moon I ain't spending anymore money until I have a clearer picture of next year.

When a halfway credible news outlet reports that a powerful, more conventional NX home console exists, I'll consider taking him seriously.
Until then, I'm pretty confident he's full of shit.
Right, but that still entails actually marketing the games. Two months isn't enough time for that and they're not doing it during Christmas, so I have to think they'll reveal it soon.

Oops, added the original source to the post
Yeah, the idea has been floating around for awhile. It's pretty cool, hope Nintendo allows for the controls to be put on in that way as it allows for different orientations for original titles as wellHaving the controllers being able to attach to the top/bottom too would allow DS backwards compatibility.
If they're exclusives as they usually are on handhelds it wouldn't matter too much though waiting too long and missing out on the re-reveal of DQXI could lessen the impact.
If they manage to get the first trailer in over a year on the NX reveal event it would do quite a bit more for NX's sales than if Sony showed it off at a TGS event or something. Would be a missed opportunity to say the least.
I do wonder if NX will get any AAA multiplats near launch, might be why they've been able to keep quiet for so long. If they wanted it then they should announce it by the end of the month giving devs around the same time Sony and MS had.
I don't see a press conference or direct thing happening this month. It'll be in November or some shit, after Nes Mini comes out.
I'd love to be wrong, though. I'm also feeling same anxiousness with Pokémon Go upcoming update with the buddy system... Really want that to come out already.

I got bored so, following from this post:
http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=215923839
Where I talk about previous statements from Iwata, I decided to take another reading from the "Gospel of Iwata" aka things he says to investors that aren't set in stone like when Iwata was adamant Nintendo wouldn't develop mobile games.
I looked at the Q&A session from May 8th 2015
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/150508qa/02.html
Again, I am posting some of the answer, click the link for the rest.
Once more, if you haven't read my post linked at the top, do so for you to understand the context. I brought this up not to "prove" anything but to remind people what was said in the past because people have misremembered certain statements or even took them out of context with regards to the current rumours on NX.
Anyway, looking at the bolded. Not only is the NX a "brand new concept" for Nintendo but, it is not a simple "replacement" for the 3DS or Wii U. Hence, Iwata remains vague on what the NX is.
Next, looking at the second bolded paragraph.
'Since we are always thinking about how to create a new platform that will be accepted by as many people around the world as possible, we would like to offer to them "a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept" by taking into consideration various factors, including the playing environments that differ by country."
Well, Iwata wanted to create a platform that would take into the considerations above.
So, about this brand new concept. What if some people have been over-thinking that there has to be more than the NX being a hybrid?
What if the hybrid is all the concept was? As I said before with regards to a hybrid. It's not just a portable with TV out, it has to do things a portable can't do such as local multiplayer with controllers connected to one device via Bluetooth.
The 3DS can't do that. It can only do local multiplayer with other 3DS devices, not controllers.
There's still some time before the NX is revealed. So in summary:
I'm not here to prove anything, I'm just sceptical when people in this thread yesterday decided to use statements from over 2 years ago to claim the hybrid has to be fake because Iwata said something no one could remember in the correct context unless they went to reread it.
If the NX does become revealed as a hybrid, it will probably end up making more sense from these statements over the last few years than to take one particular statement so long ago out of context as the absolute "truth".
Remember, things change. The NX hybrid could get scrapped at the last minute like how the Wii U Gamepad was almost scrapped at the last minute.

The 3DS can't do that. It can only do local multiplayer with other 3DS devices, not controllers.
There's still some time before the NX is revealed. So in summary:
- January 2013 - Iwata outlined the integration of their architectures to ease software development.
- January 2014 - Iwata wasn't sure whether to integrate hardware form factor and size into one or to have multiple form factors. He only cited Apple and Android as ideas at the time.
- May 8th 2015 - Iwata explains NX as being a brand new concept and that he wanted to create a platform that would be accepted by as many people as possible in both Japan and Overseas.
I'm not here to prove anything, I'm just sceptical when people in this thread yesterday decided to use statements from over 2 years ago to claim the hybrid has to be fake because Iwata said something no one could remember in the correct context unless they went to reread it.

Overall like it and it's a good execution. The only thing that a lot of these mockups don't do that I would change is adding a + & -/1 & 2 button to each controller attachment in between the analog stick and D-pad/ABXY configuration similar to + and - position on the wiimote. Also I don't see NX supporting the Wiimote, or Wii U Pro controller but I could be wrong.
The only thing that makes me question this is that Iwata specifically said that Nintendo would be moving from a system based service to an account based service which would suggest more than one hardware device. I see Nintendo going forward with the high powered handheld with a TV out, hybrid device. However, down the road they. ould sell higher power/next generation consoles and handheld devices that are all compatible with each other in some form. The console could provide a lot more power and wireless streaming to the NX handheld for Wii U gamepad like functionality. The handheld portion could have different colors, redesigns, stronger hardware, 3D, etc as upgrades you can get. All games purchased are saved to your account and you can play those games on almost any NX device. I believe Nintendo was being truthful in that they don't attempt to limit their hardware to just one system.
Of course, I pointed that out in the previous post linked at the top. Iwata never confirmed or denied a hybrid or multiple form factors. He isn't sure where Nintendo will go forward, all he had was ideas and whether there would only be one device in the future would be determined by consumers.
Edit: I'm just saying in general it seems to be a folly to claim Iwata ever denied a hybrid that some people are using 2-3 year old statements to claim that the hybrid rumours are fake.
Hence why things could be made clear if the hybrid is revealed regardless of multiple form factors down the line. Those don't matter at this point because we don't know. All that matters now is making sense of those statements that are being used to deny a hybrid.
