The NX Prediction / BSpeculation / Fanxiety Thread

How can Emily's tidbit that a reveal of Mario coinciding with the unveiling of the NX be true, when Miyamoto has already gone on record and said that we will NOT see a next gen Mario until E3 2017 (and then...it's still a MAYBE that the game will be ready for next year's E3)?

Miyamoto even explicitly says next gen Mario's reveal will be "in about a year or two"....and this quote was from June of this year.

Because meaningless PR interviews are just that: meaningless PR interviews. He might as well have twisted the truth a bit to make an earlier reveal surprising, there's no way to tell. People really shouldn't take interviews at face value.
 
The only one guilty for this hype cycle full of man babies here is you, guys. I totally understand Emily's and even NateDrake positions. You can not wait. You can not even fucking think about what you are actually asking for - RDR in NX, sure - and you want everything now and fast. Plans change, information is affected. Get over it.

I totally understand her reaction and if I was her, I would have said fuck you all during the first pages of this thread, to be honest.

Man this thread was fun until the random bashing against someone from twitter....

She wasnt the only one talking about news this week...even Nate Drake posted "the time has come #NX" calm down dudes...
These two posts nail it. Calm down everyone and let's enjoy discussing and speculating. There is nothing to get upset over anyway.
 
The most depressing thing they could do is tell us at the earnings release that they'll talk more about NX later in the year.

2017 would be worse, lol. At the very least, this year means 2 months. Not much when we've waited over 550 days.
 
Anybody else think Gamefreak might have a Pokémon game ready for NX launch or a tease of something Pokémon related besides the inevitable Pokken Fighters port?

Quite a few people think Sun/Moon or the special version thereof is gonna be on NX. It doesn't sound unrealistic. Would be funny seeing the difference in graphics for sure.

Would go some way to disproving these "reporters" I suppose, who were one day certain info would be coming this week, and then suddenly "not sure"
 
You're right

I just want to know (In her words) if NX hardware is finalized and NX is entered a very early stage of production (September 20th) and Zero percent chance of NX being delayed from its March launch, what is Nintendo waiting for?

To actually set everything up for a reveal.

You all realise this thread is one big animal cage for NX fanatics? As soon as this thing is revealed, we're gonna get locked down and each and every one of us banned.

It's a purge, you see.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you :-)

By the way, NoE twitter is kinda quiet today and NCL twitter is kinda weird, they tweeted an hour ago and 8 hours ago, but nothing in between, so they tweeted at the beginng of office hours and in the end?
 
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If any system launch needs Pokemon, its NX.
If that's the case then they might reveal the launch line up after the release of sun and moon as to not eat up the 3DS sales. So they will either:

A) reveal the system early, but no titles.
B) reveal the system along with the launch software after the release of sun and moon.

In other words, fuck Pokemon. I want the system to be revealed and I want to see the games and I want them both before November dammit!
 
I know it's not over for news of the reveal this week but it feels like it. I really believed Emily because she seemed so confident at first; even making her twitter public and there seemed to be so many people coming out all saying the same thing which was news this week. How could you be so confident at one point and then lose it the next? I had been out of this dumb speculation for weeks but I was pulled back in because of all this and now I know remember why I left.
 
So Gaf, pls can we stop posting bullshit from Emily and other twitter users ?

We will not post much NX relative content then...

I find it unlikely Mario and Zelda are both used at launch.

She said Mario game at the reveal, so I guess we will get a teaser but that doesn't mean it will be release in the launch window. I'll bet holidays 2017.
 
I don't understand why people are so upset about something that will not change because of the rumors. I mean, someday Nintendo will show the thing and will be what Nintendo wanted.They will not implement an holographic helper named Janine just because someone said it on twitter. People are overreacting because there is someone trying to discover facts before de official announcements, and this human being is not sure of some parts she discovered.
Geez guys without her or 10k we would not have anything but silence. At least we had fun (some of us that don't think the world is ending). Chill... why does everything has to become war this days?

Also, Eurogamer's Tom Phillips: "I have also heard there's a big new Mario for launch" https://twitter.com/tomphillipsEG/status/785050082953596928?s=09

Thanks.

I'm hoping for Sun and Moon port

I think that's a given, actually, but we will hear more about it after christmas not to fuck up the Sun/Moon holiday season, probably. Or maybe we got Pokemon Eclipse for NX, a third version of these two to make more sure sales. Who knows.

I also am expecting a DQ Builders port on launch. That game has the Nintendo logo and portable game all over it.

Yep same thing happened with me.

Oh well. Now all I'm hoping is we hear something around the time of the investor meeting. Whether that's a full reveal or just an update around when the reveal is or if it's delayed.

My mom always says "its all fun and games until someone starts crying"...atleast she said that when I was still in Kindergarden..
 
Thanks.

Pokémon Eclipse would be cool. But if that's the case it can't be revealed or be a launch title. Nintendo will have to release atleast s year after Sun and Moon reveal. I've always said if there was a 3rd version it would be cool if they combined it with a 3rd Kalos Pokemon. So Pokemon Z and Pokemon Eclipse as one game with both regions in the same game. Call it Pokemon EclipZe lol.
 
I find it unlikely Mario and Zelda are both used at launch.

It's absolutely possible given the many derivatives of Mario games that Nintendo develops internally. Could be NSMB NX, Mario Maker NX, or even a 3D Mario NX. Besides, Mario and Zelda aren't the lone holy grail at Nintendo anymore. Mario Kart and Splatoon might be bigger catalysts.
 
Let's not forget that she said it before Eurogamer. I don't assume all of her leaks are set in stone but they certainly are grounded.

I don't get why so many people are aggressive when it comes to leaks and NX. This thread is really not going to last long.

It's interesting. I think it's stems from two issues (relating to Twitter ITKs, rather than the media as a whole).

1) People don't like it when someone knows something they don't, and feel information may be being withheld without justification. The reaction can often slide into a "Tell me now or you don't really know anything" mindset.

2) The often deliberate dressing up of how much the person with information actually knows. This seems the biggest problem with non-media ITKs, looking to build a reputation. they hide the holes in their knowledge behind cryptic wording that'll be the first line of defence if things don't pan out.

When clarification isn't full and frank, it starts people thinking that maybe there's nothing behind the curtain at all. I'm sure Emily has insider information, but I do feel that some times her delivery leaves a little to be desired.
 
If that's the case then they might reveal the launch line up after the release of sun and moon as to not eat up the 3DS sales. So they will either:

It could be an expansion game like Pokemon Stadium to help NX hardware with Sun/Moon owners.

I mean anything is possible, but BOTW looks like a mega hit, just seems overkill to not space those 2 out at least a few months. Isn't there a rumor Mario Maker is getting a port too?

Not that I'd be mad about both being at launch, heh.
 
At this point I don't even care when it's revealed as long as it is still coming out in March. I'm getting married in June and after that I predict gaming will drop for a while and I'd love to already have NX in my possession before that.

Also, I just want to know what new Nintendo games to be excited about in 2017 besides Pikmin 3DS and Ever Oasis.


And on the topic of Sun/Moon on NX, after playing the demo I am convinced there will be an NX version of the game. Every asset in that game seems a little low res even compared to other 3DS games. It reminds me of Xenoblade 3D. The game looks like it's downgrading assets designed for much higher resolutions.
 
If Mario, Zelda and Pokemon are all there at launch I'm gunna be so broke. There's no way that's happening though.

"Developer Game Freak will bring Pokémon to the platform, while Nintendo’s first party titles include the previously announced Zelda game – Breath of the Wild – and
a new Mario game. All three products are scheduled to appear" within the first six months"

For a reveal, chances are 0%
For the announcement of a date of the reveal, I guess there is still hope, heh.

It's only 0% if we expect a Direct. There's every possibility we get a press release or something today. They did that with some past systems, including 3DS.

First 6 months seems fair.

Have Zelda dominate the launch, with some other titles next to it, June/July its Mario Time and September all about Pokemon only to got Mario Kart or something up for Nov/Dec for those holiday sales!

Bloody hell. I mean I can probably budget for six months, at least, as long as they aren't all launch day titles.
 
I am hoping the NX is compatible with 3DS games. Maybe it could upscale them or something. Also with regards to Pokemon, since the game save is on the cart, you wouldn't need to wait for an NX version, you could start playing it on 3DS and carry it over to NX.
 
You guys are on some wacky tobaccy if you think a non-spinoff Pokemon game is coming to the NX anywhere near launch. They're not going to announce Sun and Moon is coming to the NX less than a month before the game launches. Game Freak really marches at the beat of their own drum. They released BW months before the 3DS, and even BW2 was a DS game.
