Mario or Marion, you decide. And this gender decision can follow you through all of NX's games, Link or Linkle, Samus or Sam, Fox or Foxy and whatever the fifth and final game they release is.
Kid Icarus NX. Choose between Pit and Pitty.

About skipping holiday season, I still remember almost no games were released for WiiU six months after launch. Iwata said "please understand" in the January megaton direct because of this.
Honestly I dont want this to happen again.
And it wont sell at loss. That means they can drop the price soon if they dont sell well.
And only Zelda in E3... I wonder why there will be no other games there. Why are they not considering to show games like SMTxFE, Paper Mario, Metroid Federation Shit, and so on? Don't they even trust their quality? Not surprised of not being confident with that fake Metroid, but what about the others?
Yay, Hero of Legend, I love your threads.
Not sure why you want to talk about non-NX games in a NX thread.
It is not only Zelda in E3. It is only Zelda being playable at the showfloor.
They're going to make E3 decorated probably like Hyrule with Zelda animatronics and Zelda interactions on the floor
Somehow I missed the 'complete immersion' comment as the reason for Zelda U being the only playable game at E3.
Serious question... what the fuck does that even mean?!!! Are we getting a Zelda holodeck on the show floor?!!
There will be plenty of 3DS games to talk about at E3, so to have none of them playable means that this 'immersion' thing is serious business.
I have two hypotheses:
1. By having a fuck tonne of demo station to keep the lines manageable, the demo itself will be fairly long, allowing attendees to get a proper taste of the game's open world flow.
2. It's straight up marketing spin.
I'm leaning towards the latter, honestly.

Ah, that seems pretty cool actually!
Not sure if it's worth snubbing other games, but it makes sense for this kind of attraction.
I didn't know it was confirmed to not be at E3 this year. How disappointing!

I hope Paper Mario CS comes to NX instead of Wii U. The game looks so good and I don't want it to waste on the Wii U.

Dunno if BG&E2 going directly up against Zelda would be the smartest move. Might be better to put a bit of time between them both.
Would it really matter if it was a launch title? I would imagine folks would splurge for more than one game after buying a brand new system... Or maybe not.

Google ads is hinting at something here.
I'm just annoyed that all the hardware rumours and whatnot was probably all bullshit.
"Insiders" going insane because they thought NX would be at E3.
Going by Trev's leak, a 2016 release was likely the original plan. We also have one insider who gave us intel on the CPU.I'm just annoyed that all the hardware rumours and whatnot was probably all bullshit.

Exactly the same way I feel. Wake me up when something of substance is leaked and verified.Seriously. At this point im just burnt out.
Yep, pretty much this. I'd go as far to say this has been the most boring round of console speculation in gaming history. Can't keep crying wolf all the time.No one has anything interesting to say at this point. It's either retreading old stuff, or adamantly misreading what Kimishima has said because... reasons?
The rumors and leaks have little to no substance, and the rumor mongers keep losing credibility (I'm still not sure why the bulk of our rumors could only come from sources from within Nintendo, since that would be the least likely place to leak.).
People are using concept art to try and confirm console features.
Nintendo themselves have thrown a wet blanket on things.
And "wait for E3" has been taken off the table, so we don't know exactly when this ride ends anymore.
I feel like there's no point in paying attention to this stuff until the console is actually revealed, and then we can spend the months between then and launch speculating and getting hyped or something.
Everyone should read this full quote in context. From the other thread, it seems like very few did.
He's not saying that they plan to fundamentally change their pricing strategy. Rather, the Japanese yen was particularly strong in 2012 and 2013, and that strength caused Nintendo to take a loss on Wii U sales (because when it sold Wii Us to Americans, it received fewer yen when it converted the US dollars it received). Since then, it has weakened considerably. Assuming the yen/dollar exchange rate remains around current levels, the NX shouldn't sell at a loss, but if the yen strengthens again, it may.
And it wont sell at loss. That means they can drop the price soon if they dont sell well.
Thanks for the clarification. Does this give us any indication as to whether the system would be sold for a high or lower price?

I'm planning on making a thread breaking down third-party support in a couple weeks (after we get earnings results for third parties and likely some other publishers confirming NX support).
We actually have a fair amount of information on that front, but I'd like to fill in some of the other gaps instead of just relying on "This company is still releasing Wii U/3DS titles". I'd like to end the "zero third party support" misunderstanding.

The forecast for beginning of March 106.54. Maximum rate 107.25, while minimum 103.05. Averaged rate for month 105.50. The exchange rate at the end 105.15, change for March -1.30%.
The Wii U was the first Nintendo system sold at a loss. It wasn't because Nintendo undertook some radical pricing strategy; rather, it was because when the Wii U made its debut, the yen was at its strongest point post-WW2.
If I'm a Japanese company, I pay my workers in yen and I buy my parts using yen (hypothetically). Say the Wii U cost 1500 yen to create and one dollar was worth 3 yen. That means Nintendo has to sell it in the US for $500 in order to breakeven. It takes the $500 it gets, goes to the Bank of Japan, and exchanges them for 1500 yen to pay its workers, buy more materials, etc. Suddenly, the exchange rate changes and one yen is now worth 2 dollars. Nintendo still collects $500 for every Wii U sold in the US, but when they go to convert it to yen, they're only getting 1000 yen. Their employee's salaries, raw materials, etc haven't change in price. Meaning that all of a sudden they're losing 500 yen on every sale even though the product hasn't fundamentally changed.
Kimishima is saying that the Wii U was sold at a loss because of the yen, not because Nintendo wanted to change its strategy. Because the yen is unlikely to strengthen so much by the time the NX launches, it won't be sold at a loss.
We have no idea of the relative power of the system from his comments, except to say that it seems likely to be in line with Nintendo's past history (which frankly has varied from the underpowered Wii to the relatively powerful Gamecube).
My guess would be $300 with PS4-level hardware.

This is all fine and dandy until you realise that the Wii U price has actually increased in Yen and not being reduced in dollars as the Yen exchange rate dropped (except for the one time $50 cut when the Yen was still strong).

I've been waiting for this topic. I hope this one doesn't get closed. We have a lot to talk about when it comes to the NX.
From Kimishimas latest statements I feel confident in saying the NX console controller will not have a screen in it.
I'm expecting additional information about NX to be made available prior to or during Nintendo's 76th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on June 29, 2016.Thanks, subbed again. Although I'm not sure why. How many months until we get additional facts?

I'm like 1000% on board with this after this last investors meeting. I even thought of this in my head lol. Kimishima seems like the guy that will straight up reveal these things to investors first, then everybody else can reveal.Rösti;202522855 said:I'm expecting additional information about NX to be made available prior to or during Nintendo's 76th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on June 29, 2016.
