I think Nintendo could overshadow the PS4 Pro with the NX as long as they don't have the Zodiac Killer present the thing. Mark Cerny gave off some serious sociopath vibes today.
No kidding. Everything in his appearance speaks he's so far from engineering it's not even funny.

It's a mobile runner. Not making it F2P severely limits it's audience.
By that logic every single game on the AppStore should be f2p, cause apparently that severely limits their audiences.
 
Also Miyamoto struggling to read the script in English at the Apple Conference doesn't inspire confidence for a live event.

Just hope they have a live stream of the event being played at Nintendo World so we get crazy fan reactions.

I still miss Iwata's English to this day :(

but on a more chipper note, Microsoft and Sony got their new hardware announcements outta the way. NX announcement soon come?
 
Sooo with everything that has happened in the last months, and now Nintendo appearing on Apple conf, and the way you can interpret some of what they said about the NX..

Nobody's panicking yet ? Ok i guess it's nice.
 
No, Nintendo is not going to schedule the NX reveal around saving money on Miyamoto's plane tickets. Jesus Christ.

I don't think anyone could reasonably argue that would be the reason, but it sure would be convenient if they could take care of both things at once, no?
 
A taped, edited event is FAR better for a reveal like this. It allows for information to be clear, concise, and prevalent.

I would honestly prefer a Direct for that reason. They can be so much more creative with that format as well, and with all of the other console news out of the way, they could drop it and pull a lot of mindshare, considering the "new" things from their competitors are old things with new chips.
 
Mark Cerny did a great job at presenting the PS4 Pro features, I can definitely pressure for Nintendo with the NX.

Nintendo is not having an NX reveal event in <3 weeks when it hasn't even been announced. They might film something with him there, but I imagine he has enough time to go back to Japan

You don't think it's possible they've already sent press invites, and that those press invites are under embargo to discuss? In which case, 3 weeks notice wouldn't be needed necessarily for us laypersons. &#9786;

Well yeah they should. It's clear the path to success in the mobile market is to make it F2P and rope in some whales.

It's free to start meaning more people can play it. So like a trail, they've done it before on 3DS. I guess they don't want people to make the game feel bad to play after awhile if you don't play since they do want people to play the game and then come over to Nintendo platforms

I guess it's not impossible, just very unlikely. I imagine they'll want people to be able to play it and trusting various journalists to not reveal the event before they do seems unlikely

What do ya mean? Nintendo is still DOOOMED!
 
And just like that, it makes sense why Nintendo chose to wait on the announcement of the NX.

For some odd reason their appearance alone inspired great confidence in me for the NX.

I noticed that some of the Nintendo gaming people (based on their tweet account) stop complaining about NX from the last week ... but it might be just my mind.
 
This thing will be revealed at tgs, right? If not, when..

Analysts who are best informed to make educated guesses thought an announcement might come before TGS. Since the system was originally scheduled for this holiday, probably November, we can presume the original plan was a reveal at E3 at the latest, five or so months before release. So this or nezt month is a good bet since the system is scheduled for a March release and the latest ER rumor says they're ahead of schedule. Finally of note, John Harker who is a credible source has indicated Sony and Nintendo were racing to see who would announce first, and more recently IIRC he said that he no longer expected an announcement to necessarily come before TGS. Anyone please do feel free to correct me if I got any of this wrong.

I believe press got invites already. I don't care if anybody thinks I'm delusional or whatever. Media has been way to quiet with NX now. People have been quiet everywhere. Nintendo already has strict NDAs and would see it go to media also with the invites.

For some titles. For others with sufficient recognition (like minecraft) it'd be actually counter-revenue.
 
He was narrating a teenage horror flick. He made Phil Schiller from the apple event earlier look like Steve Wozniak in comparison.

It was like they hired Emo Phillips to present, but told him he had to do his best Steven Wright impression.

Why would they keep it secret though? There would be so much hype from it that it would be ridiculous. Also, I'd highly doubt no leaks at this point.

They'd keep it secret due to an embargo preventing them from discussing it. I think it's a reasonable possibility. It's also possible though that the initial reveal won't include press hands-on time, though that seems moderately unlikely to me at this point.

If Nintendo only invites a few Journalists from the biggest gaming sites, it would be easy to find the leaker. And if the NDA says you have to pay a lot of money if you leak something, people won't say a word.

Still I don't think that they invited for the event at all.
 
Well, Nintendo sure upstaged Sony today, just not in the way we all would've hoped...any possibility of an announcement tomorrow?

Ok, I admit I had to google Steven Wright, and then watch some youtubes. Good stuff.
 
Nintendo should capitalize on the mario announcement and the PS4pro "delusion" and announce NX.
I'm sure they have already registered the direct, drop it and make us happy, I can't stan waiting anymore.

Yep. Even if they were planning on announcing it next week, they should just do it tomorrow to capitalize on the situation.
 
So, what if this was all a mistake. The pad are not detachable. It's .. the screen that is, and it's optional.

What if the console is in the pads (it's not possible cause there are two.. but anyway let me have fun ok). What if the NX is a screen less portable, that can use.. your phone's screen... That way it gives you controls, Nintendo games, battery life, power, but people don't think they need two devices. It's a thing for their phone. BAM mic drop.

(That said it would potentially sell to way more people)
 
Apple going big.LITTLE and nintendo going iOS were real surprises. /apple event interference

This is news to me. I'll have to look later when I get the time.
