So when is this speculated announcement supposed to take place? It's already Tuesday and all :(

What's the latest word on the street? The detachable controllers confirmed? Dates still being speculated? I can't keep track
I'll tell you what we have if you spill your beans first.
 
Do you guys think the NX is showing signs of a troubled development? It almost feels like Nintendo doesn't know if it's ready.

Saturn-esque?

latest


Mother 3 confirmed.
 
I don't think so. They are just very, very secretive. They have to get this right after the colossal failure of the Wii U.

Also probably quite pissed about some of the leaks in recent times, like the one that had release dates and marketing budgets for all to see. For a company like Nintendo, that must have burned.
 
So basically one person says maybe and everyone else chimes in to say maybe cause then they'll look good if it happens but can still be somewhat credible if it doesn't.
 
We'll probably never find out, but regardless of whether or not these rumors are true I'm curious as to what their origin is. Did these people get invites to a Nintendo press event already? Did someone who works at NoA hint something to someone and then that was shared/spread by a bunch of industry insiders?
 
I have a hard time believing the announcement will be tomorrow morning, which is around 6-8 hours from now.

The Pokémon demo releases in 8 hours in North America. Nintendo won't want that conflict. The earliest we'll get NX announcement will be Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning is a more likely candidate.

This has never made sense to me. What are you basing this off of? Why would they announce it in the evening at the end of the daily news cycle? Why would them releasing a demo have any bearing on whether they are going to reveal a console or at least the date for which they will formally announce it?
 
I don't even care that much about the console itself, I just want to see the games.

Wouldn't be much of a conflict if they tied the demo into the direct/announcement/whatever. Honestly, might be the only way some people even realize there's a Pokemon demo at all.

Same, I camt wait to see some of this stuff. I know its probably just kimishima blowing steam but he said, "The hardware, the software lineup, all of it is something I'd like to play for the first time myself." That got me hyped!
 
They're working on the the Zelda video.

What Zelda video? Aside from the fact that they have uploaded multiple news videos today, they already released their 2 hour Zelda analysis.

They need to wait for a different source than Emily because they kept getting overloaded with dislikes and angry comments for reporting on her tweets

Ah, I see. However, it does seem to be that multiple sources are coming up on this, so it seems weird for them to just not acknowledge it wholesale.

I'm actually the opposite. I'm fully expecting the reveal games to be underwhelming other than Zelda, and Breath of the Wild looks cool but it might not necessarily be my cup of tea since I hate open worlds and I got my fill of pre-release gameplay at E3 anyways. I just want to see what crazy Nintendo console I'll be using for the next few years. Moreover I'm interested to see how marketable I think the thing will be, since I think that's what lies at the crux of Nintendo's future success and relevance in the game industry.
 
Well it's not like I could actually participate in this thread, it be cheating!

Do people think announcement is tomorrow? Why?

No, because people have only said this week. I can't be certain that it's happening at 10am Eastern Time in US on Tuesday.

Edit: And then you have the NX "leakers" suddenly joining in after Emily Rogers said something is happening this week, so they're claiming they got leaks that it's happening this week, no specific day. lol

Emily has implied that Tuesdays are great for Nintendo announcements, so I suppose we'll see tomorrow.

I did say in one post before that went along the lines of, in Japan's Time Zone:

18th October is NX announcement, 20th October is NX reveal, 21st October is
everyone saying, "Reveal the NX already!"

Of course, the reveal could be 21st because of the 5th anniversary of Nintendo Direct, maybe, maybe not.
 
I'd be amused if they showed one part of the system this week, and keep the rest a secret until a later time.

Man, that WiiMote reveal back then sure was something.
