Lets say i follow you, the nx is a console. After a few years ps5 and new xbox is released. What will happen with the nx support? Almost no 3rd party support. It's getting way too expensive to make games for one console or to downgrade the games. This happened for wii and wiiu. 3ds is still not bad, but the games aren't also that expensive.

It depends on the game and what it requires but ud neversee 2tf performance not even close. No game will soley operate on fp16 data.

No, that's just the GBA port. Mother Run is coming later.

1, 2, 5, and 7 (games between April 2017 and Holiday 2017)
3D Mario, 2D Mario, 3D Metroid, 2D Metroid, Animal Crossing, Retro game, F-Zero, Bayonetta 3, Monolith game, Shin Megami Tensei V,... (We already have Zelda)
And something that would make me go crazy, would be the announcement of a Futurama + Metroid crossover. I know it will never happen, but if it does,... OMG!! OMFG!!

The chances of it are slim to none, but imagine if they had a real metroid game at the reveal. Not some federation force spin off crap, but either metroid prime 4, or a Fusion sequel.
I mean...it's not impossible. Retro Studios's new game has been in the oven for nearly 3 full years now. If that new game is Metroid, it could very well be unveiled along with the console.
Now I kind of doubt they are making a new Metroid, but it's not exactly fan-dream tier.

Honestly, the only thing I care about are games and final design. I feel like we mostly know what it is, but I really hate concept art to the extent that even if credible I mostly just ignore it.
I think it would be quite smart to launch with one game that doesn't have mainstream appeal, but appeals to the more dedicated Nintendo fans first and foremost to illustrate that NX also has things in store for them. Metroid would fit the bill. So would F-Zero.
It's not THAT unlikely I would say.
The Samurai Duck? First time I hear about that game, I had to google it. At the beginning I thought you were talking about Lonk from Pennsylvania, but you wrote the initial character wrong by mistake.
I need to go to sleep now. It's getting very late, and I'm already thinking about weird stuff. I hope not to have insomnia like last night.
I cannot read. Yeah, lots of good or at least entertaining posters in the speculation threads back then.
Does that site even exist anymore?

So my friend that I'm picking up from work walked out the backdoor of his job whistling the Mario theme. I asked him why he's whistling that as he stepped into my car WHILE I was reading this very thread and he said "I don't know, I felt like it."
One of his nicknames is Mr. Coincidence. Guys, it has to be happening soon.

What if nothing happens and they avoid NX questions at the meeting leaving you all stranded for months?

Nintendo of Japan just now opened for the day correct?
to me it's release date and price
on all other fronts, I trust nintendo, even the WiiU is a nice piece of hardware even if unappealing.
I want too know what is cheaper and sooner to play Zelda., WiiU vs NX

(Metroid Prime is a spinoff.)
It's currently 7am over there.
But it's not crap.

I think people would literally buy plane tickets to fly to Washington, Europe and Japan and stage a worldwide protest at the company headquarters demanding NX news.
Makes sense Thanks. A little googling on this will pass the time I suppose.

Hopefully Pikmin 3 was a good omen for franchises of yore
I'd be very okay with that. Even if new ones come out, at least you know the GC games were awesome

Holy shit. Emily is truly expecting something more than just a NX reveal announcement this week?

The games. l want to see what they look like and what kind of experiences they'll propose. Honestly my biggest concern is them revealing the system but saying nothing about the games and ending the presentation with something like "we'll be discussing our launch lineup next year. Bye nerds!".
It means that he wants to hang with Shig for brunch.

What are you doing? There's no such thing as going to bed! NX could be revealed in the next few hours since business is about to start in Japan!

They're discussing the title for Miyamoto's new platformer. The Miyamoto platformer... It's Miyamoto... platforming.

I just read on twitter that Miyamoto just washed his hands in a train station bathroom.
Right, sure.
But even if we combine *every single rumored game together* and assume they're all true - we've only seen footage of 3 of them, and none of their NX versions (or if they have NX exclusive features/look better on nx).
Game trailers will undoubtedly be the most exciting thing about the nx reveal, for me anyway.

Oh shit you're right, I can actually sell my bed to get money towards NX
A while ago I would have agreed with you, but the more I read into the matter, the more it seems that the bulk of shader code can operate at 16 bit precision without issue. Unreal Engine 4, for example, runs all pixel shaders at half precision on mobile, which constitutes the considerably majority of most games shader workloads.
Lol Brilliant
That they're already working on Pikmin 4 is the real surprising part.
