So we shouldn't believe the rumors Eurogamer spread because they were wrong about the reveal?

I am with SuperMetalDave64 on this one. No way it is a Wii U 2.

They said about the september reveal that reveal can be shifted but hardware can't change.
So what do you think the NX will be ? Lost track on SMD theories.

 

[Ladekabel]

There's always tomorrow!
*forever optimistic*

There was also always next week. I can't take it anymore, man!

 

[Father_Brain]

Also the "Le Monde" reporter said he heard from a source the reveal was "imminent"

He's since tweeted that he has no idea about the specific reveal date, including whether it's this week.

 

[RobFox64tm]

It's finally happening guys. 10 minutes!!!

Why do some people think this is going to happen at a specific time? Have Nintendo's announcements been that consistent?

 

[KingSnake]

I am with SuperMetalDave64 on this one. No way it is a Wii U 2.

This is so damn stupid. What Eurogamer (and everybody else except 2-3 people looking for new subscribers) rumoured has nothing to do with Wii U 2. It's clearly a handheld first.

Actually what SMD64 is speculating is much closer to Wii U than that. Console with a mobile component? That's your Wii U 2.

 

[Retrobox]

Meh, pretty sure today's a bust. Tomorow then for sure! Maybe.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

The announcement will be tremendous. Believe me.

No not at all. Things change. At the time the information Eurogamer recieved may have been correct.

Information can be first hand, second hand, out of date, correct, suggestive, just an idea.

 

[Mariolee]

For the most part, yes.

However NoA has also announced things at 9 am PST: https://mobile.twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/770652316034863104

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

But then she (Emily) said

NX is not getting delayed. It's on schedule. It launches in March. News is coming this week and next week. Emily Rogers added,
MuchoMalo @MaloMartInc

So its not about RDR2.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Friday is so far away
Plenty of time to buy snacks guys

I see that you're ignoring the numerous outlets that corroborated EG's report and said nothing at all about a September reveal. Typical of the truthers.

 

[takriel]

forever alone in being forever optimistic

 

[Oersted]

Calling it now, NX will be nothing but Reggies voice commenting every move of yours with "Whats wrong with you?".

It will be called Wii U 2: My body is Reggie. The Coen brothers have already the rights for the film adaptation.

 

[Karspankey]

Wait, why are we all anticipating an announcement at 10am EST?

 

[Kouriozan]

forever alone in being forever optimistic

Hype is my life force.

 

[Dmax3901]

You guys are fucking stupid, seriously.

But here I am posting all the same.

 

[Discomurf]

this thread lol...

 

[Dark Cloud]

Meh, pretty sure today's a bust. Tomorow then for sure! Maybe.

That's what I've been saying. The Pokémon demo is releasing in 6 minutes. They're not going to announce the NX reveal date the same time.

Tomorrow is looking ideal.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wait, why are we all anticipating an announcement at 10am EST?

It's based on nothing.

But it's not like that has stopped anyone before.

 

[Oersted]

Wait, why are we all anticipating an announcement at 10am EST?

People see Jesus in a toast. Its sort of the same.

 

[DarkLegion]

I think 12pm is a safer bet than 10am

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

I just wanna say, reading this thread is giving me life at work. 3 minutes.

 

[Nickovic]

Her tweet about "news this week" specifically references NX. RDR2 has nothing to do with it.

Get out of here with THAT logic. It definitely has no place here.

 

[Rösti]

Some things that could be worthy to bring up again:

Nintendo's Financial Results Briefing for Fiscal Year Ended March 2016, held Apr. 28, 2016

We plan to release our new concept game system, currently being developed under the codename "NX," in March 2017.
We will take another opportunity prior to the release to discuss the features and price of the NX, as well as the software lineup for launch.

We do not plan to show the NX at the E3 show in Los Angeles in June. We will introduce the NX at another time later this year.

At E3 2016

Regarding the Wii U, we have been able to put out a number of highly scoring games, games that consumers want to play, that you can't play anywhere else. So from that standpoint the system absolutely has been a success, but when you come off from selling the Wii and selling over 100 million systems it's really tough to lap that performance. What we're focused on is making sure we have an effective transition from the Wii U, we're going to have a strong holiday performance, we've got games coming for the system and then next year we'll look forward to the NX.

 

[Kiddy Dong]

This could be the last week the hybrid theory is still a theory. No more Linkin Park in the NX threads.

 

[Mr Swine]

Well seems there is no announcement today sigh

 

[Skittzo0413]

I just wanna say, reading this thread is giving me life at work. 3 minutes.

It sure as hell has been an entertaining several months. I'm gonna miss it when NX is gone and the actual name is revealed

Spoiler

no I'm not.

 

[Sendou]

Wait so Nintendo NX IS actually Red Dead Redemption 2?

 

[Steejee]

It sure as hell has been an entertaining several months. I'm gonna miss it when NX is gone and the actual name is revealed

Spoiler

no I'm not.

It will be called...

The InEX

 

[Jim_Cacher]

no I'm not.

No way in hell I will miss the wait.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ready to descend into madness.

 

[zeromcd73]

1min hype

 

[ASIS]

and the countdown reaches zero.... what now?

 

[sinxtanx]

it's been seconds omg

 

[Guevara]

We did it, GAF!

 

[hoserx]

Welp......damn.

 

[Skittzo0413]

and the countdown reaches zero.... what now?

We do this again tomorrow... until Friday... then we all go insane.

 

[BKSmash]

and the countdown reaches zero.... what now?

Now we freak out over the delay.

 

[palazuelos]

Dreams and hopes...

 

[Zedark]

and the countdown reaches zero.... what now?

Now we riot.

 

[Kouriozan]

Pokemon demo is up in NA!
Wait, that's not what we wanted.

 

[bomblord1]

What is the significance of this time?

 

[Father_Brain]

Yeah, it's frankly hilarious that so many of the AMD/console truthers denounce the reported hybrid as "Wii U 2," yet are quick to believe dubious rumors about it being... a stationary home console that streams to a controller with a display. In other words, literally Wii U 2.

These people hate and refuse to believe reporting from numerous actual news outlets, because it's all about hardware performance to them. They really, honestly believe that NX would get every third-party AAA game if it just had a 3.5TF SoC. They couldn't be more wrong.

 

[Kissenkopf]

Nothing. Like always. Next week guys...for sure.

 

[RobFox64tm]

and the countdown reaches zero.... what now?

I just don't think it's going to happen that quickly, if it does at all.

 

[Squall5042]

Isn't there info floating around that Friday is the expected announcement day?

 

[KingSnake]

and the countdown reaches zero.... what now?

 

[DarkChronic]

Lmao. This thing is never getting announced.

 

[Diprosalic]

What is the signifcance of this time?

There is none. Just people going nuts.
