Agreed. Assuming it is a traditional console, I think late 2017 at the earliest would be best. That would give Wii U a five-year life span (common for Nintendo consoles, maybe a little generous for Wii U). And let's face it: Sony and Microsoft won't release their next consoles until late 2018 at the earliest (late 2019 would be more likely) since they both really want to make sure their consoles are long lasting if PS3/360 are any indication. Unless NX is late 2017 (latest case) and everything else is late 2018 (earliest case), NX will throw off the generation system that consoles have always used, meaning they had better take the time to make it good enough to justify that.
On the other hand, if this is the case, then for all we know Nintendo could only be calling the NX a third pillar in the sense that the DS was a third pillar. They can use the reasoning as an excuse to fall back to their other systems if it's a flop, but NX is definitely meant to be the successor of Wii U and maybe 3DS. That's my two cents, anyway.
Wow, Star Fox: Event Horizon looks epic, downloading the demo now.
Holiday? Yoshi is in October. I'd hardly call that holiday. All we have left is Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis, Xenoblade and Devil's Third. -Maybe Devil's Third might actually sell a few copies now. LMFAO!To those that wanted this game delayed, thank you so bloody much.Some holiday this is gonna be.
So we have Yoshi's Woolly World...and Xenoblade...but other than that....LAME.
Uhhh yeah, sure, okay XD
Yeah, just like the DS was supposed to be the "third pillar". If a console sells, Nintendo will just switch to it and that's it.
With the same breath you have to say "like the Virtual Boy was a third pillar and failed miserably". In fact, I'd argue that the whole "DS being a third pillar" hooplaloo was all smoke and mirrors anyways - it was natively compatible with GBA games and it was a natural progression of the hardware design judging by the SP, bar the touchscreen which was an experiment. The GBA Micro was never an actual continuation of the Game Boy line to me, rather just a vanity item for collectors. Things were different with the Virtual Boy which was something "new" from the ground up. Anywho, my point is that I get the feeling they want to try something new without burning bridges behind them - if it's adopted by the masses, great, they'll head that direction, if not, they have their older brands to cushion them.
If they want to add more polish, be it more streamlined code, better visuals, whatever, it is welcome. I'd rather wait a few more months and get a good game versus a decent or even broken one now.
I agree, read correctly what i.ve wrote.. i'm not saying they should not, i'm saying they waste their time
i know, its a bummer, hopefully i can still grab splatoon before christmas so i wont have to ask for that againThere's not gonna be much wiiU games under those shiny trees this year
