Nintendo NX will launch March 2017

codezer0 · May 11, 2016

What a peculiar release date for a new console...

RemixDeluxe · May 12, 2016

Who wants to place bets the NX will have Wii in its name?

I'm feeling Wii U 2 or Wii U comeback.

Nintendo President: NX Is Not the Successor "to the Wii U nor to the 3DS"

"It's a new way of playing games"

They might even go with U Wii instead! I would like to know who's buying one on release date cause its been reported the dearest Nintendo console yet so I would imagine a price tag of about £400 - £500GBP's? maybe a new thread would help. I'm betting as well it will have VR capabilities attached! they can only roll with that method of gaming now to go next generation tbh these days.

Edit: I have also red up, just. Nintendo are quoting this next console will be a make or break situation, if it flops like the WiiU did I think they are going to call it a day with the console market.

The last article I read where the NX was mentioned by Kimishima said the NX will not be replacing the Wii U or 3DS.

Either two things are happening here, he's lying in order to make more sales on a dying console and recoup loss or they are gonna go with some god awful gimmick that turns this NX into some non console thing and instead acts as an addon to the 3DS and Wii U, like a Sega CD or 32x.

It's funny how people are demanding to just have a "normal" console with just a controller and you just play games with no weird extras. The last console that was "normal" was the GameCube and that was the worst selling console for Nintendo and when the Wii which made the most sales of anything ever made before can you blame them for wanting to try to catch lightning twice?

In the end I think we have no one to blame but ourselves with the direction Nintendo takes with their consoles, if the opposite occurred where GameCube sold the most and Wii was a failure I guaranteed they wouldn't be trying gimmicks no more. Again, we as the consumers are to blame.

What annoys me with the NX, when will it come the time when consoles will just become to expensive to buy and only the very rich and spoilt will ever get one on release day??? £450 - £500 GBP's is a lot of money to the average working family, that is half of a £1,000.00 if you look at the price in that sort of way, that is way to much when your talking about that much money. You can buy more important house hold goods in life that actually mean something, not just playing a video game!. I cannot see any parent of an average working family who has any sort of normal knowledge when it comes to money in life, buying the NX for there children @topping nearly £500, thats approx. $735 dollars for all you USA lovers out there and remember you have to buy your new games as well on top so I'm betting a rise of nearly £60.00 - £65.00 a pop for each new NX game that comes out and that again is $88 - $95 dollars for all you USA partners! I'm just wandering what you all think about this sort of price range for a new console and now its coming to something really really silly! Would your parents buy you one on release date? or would that be a big phat NO? will it only be people that are hard core Nintendo fans that own businesses that will buy one and can afford one or will it only be that very rich spoilt fat kid from next door that you really really hate that will have one and barely ever play on it? what do you all think. TBH with you after all that I will be getting one myself (I'm not trying to gloat in anyway so please don't get me wrong), only because I have been a massive Ninti fan since I was a little child and I work hard and can afford it but if it was say a PS5 or an XBOXTWO at those sort of prices I would be saying no way and I mean no way! I would never spend that sort of silly money on something just to say I had a PS5 or an XBOXTWO.

NX more like gateway.

So that pretty much means that Wii U doesn't get its own Zelda game.

Sad.

Gamecube sold almost twice as many as the Wii U.

Wii U is the worst selling Nintendo Home Console in history.

Wii sold the best yes, but had abysmall software release, mostly shovelware, and although the system did indeed sell. It marked the beginning of Nintendo demise as a real console player as a whole.

Just my two cents.

....Tha what?! You want our opinion on a price range that you've just plucked out of your head? :rofl2:

No way on this earth will the NX rrp for £500, and neither will games be £60-£65..... - you don't take on a sales juggernaut that is the PS4 (and a still-pretty-decent selling Xbox One) by charging £200 more, and you CERTAINLY don't hike the software rrp. If NX goes to retail for anything more than £50 higher than the PS4 then Nin has totally lost the fukkin plot and might as well not bother...

Expect an rrp no more than £300 (maybe £320), and games priced the same as they are on PS4/XO.

It'll cost the same if not slighly more the PS4 and XB1.

There is no way Nintendo can squeeze the new full surface touchpad controller and the new hardware for any less than PS4 and XB1, especially when Nintendo is known for wanting to make a profit on hardware.

Is it still worth buying a Wii U pack premium Xenoblade X ?
I can have one brand new for 200$.
Thanks.

The usual Nintendo delays.
I'd say there is a 50% chance March 2017 turns into November 2017 with the reason: "We want to have great launch titles".

1. No NX at E3. Will focus on new Zelda

Translation: Nintendo screws up again ... and misses yet another deadline. As they always do.

I do not care about the delay. I only care about is a 3rd party support. Its a key to Nintendo succeed like SNES and NES since the 3rd part supported SNES and NES in the past. Those was the best years I had.

Agreed.

Nintendo hopefully adopts the same architecture as XB1 and PS4 ... so developers can easily translate their games to the NX.

Since new Zelda will be on NX, I don't think any Wii U game is worth getting a Wii U for.
Xenoblade X is not really all that good. It did get good reviews though, not sure why: http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/xenoblade-chronicles-x
The upcoming SMT x FE game is not really all that good either. Neither of these is a system seller.

Precisely. Will Nintendo ? I wonder. I am keeping my eyes on it.

Gaming keeps me sane
