Nintendo is in a position of pissing off most wii u users for realeasing zelda at the same time with nx, and nx users for releasing the game late. And Nintendo's current trend is killing their software, thus nx quicker than anything.
Everyone saying the late release of the NX is a bad thing should read this all the way through (it's really interesting and won't take long, you really should)

Not the late release, just Zelda u. Though this will spoil everything for potential nx users and if Zelda u can end up like zero with forced gimmick that ruin the game or relatively short length.
Zelda U on the nx still felt traitorous for me. Nintendo end up betraying everyone who purchased wii u by releasing a bunch of terrible titles that replace essential gameplay with Amiibo during the second half of wii u's lifespan.
Late release for the nx was a very smart move though. And it gives some time to counteract ps4k and xbox one+(?).

The prez of Nintendo said this machine is gonna stay for a very long time... $700 is custom gaming pc price. (Nintendo pc-ish console counterpart to Handheld?)

Cartridges slowed nintendo in the 90's (lasted with handhelds), Tiny disks limited Nintendo to the amount of data a nintendo Gamecube game could be (1.37GB). Hd limited the wii after 2009 and a whole bevy of things led to wiius financial failures.

Amd's most popular cpu lasted since 2012 and still going strong, I suspect it will have a higher end cpu because of that but gaming is generally more based from the graphics card. Tough to say what the rest is, possibly a higher end steam/vc machine with ability to play Zelda wiiu on NX and not Zelda NX per say and ditching the handheld scene would be TRAGIC for them and fans.(unless they try to 'reset' games onto mobile)

GENERALLY
CPU = Media/etc ability
GPU = Gaming ability

Reset button dont exist anymore but theyre STILL pressing on it....With the fans. Its like the NES with the brown flashing screen that maybe if you reset it ONE more time itll finally play LOL.
hell.. even some games on 3ds like mario and luigi needed a reset combination cuz the challenges are "ARGH!!!" sometimes

But now nand is again faster than blueray. Media is still mostly to do with GPU, cpu is only critical for holding background info.
Do you know amd's upcoming zen? It is faster than haswell in single core, and more energy efficient with very good apu options. Waiting for zen apu is possibly the only choice for nx right now or it will be outspeced hard this time. And without proper libraries to back it up, it is really doomed.
And most custom pc at ps4's level still won't be competing at $700.

All I'm saying right now is that wii u owners deserve Zelda u's wii u version in 2016.

http://wiiudaily.com/2016/04/ninten...i-u-release-date-from-march-2017-to-just-2017

It can actually be released earlier/later than march which is cool but it could be a bad thing too if the specs arent even on par with xb/ps. We all assume that releasing later equals more power but those predictions were terribly wrong with the wiiu as it power was split across two devices and most of the games looked like xbox360 release games and ran far worse sometimes.

As i stated before Nintendo has gen8 at the proverbial balls and they can either cut them off or they can trip over their own foot and swallow those balls WILLINGLY

And out-speced by ps4k. The entire industry is done for.
Sony failed the PlayStation brand when they started focusing more on sales and releasing last-gen games as "remasters" than publishing actual new games for the customers to buy. At this point I don't even expect to ever see a new MotorStorm game ever again because they terminated the development team who developed the MotorStorm games.

Eh, no. Plus, you know how Ninty fanboys are; if they could suck Reggie's, Trinen, Miyamoto, Shibata or Kimishima's pecker you can bet that they would 'cause they're like gods to them.

I'm perfectly happy with Zelda 2017 being released on two platforms than only one so more people get to enjoy the latest Zelda game.

I was just saying that if Nintendo cannot get software right (hopefully they understand why everyone is so pissed about E3 2015), then ps4k is most likely to have the lead.
I used to be like that but right now I would keep an eye-socket out. Perhaps Nintendo deserve a second chance.
So remastering Zelda u on the nx at launch was a bad idea?

It's more of a revised version like TPWii was. Fingers crossed Zelda 2017 isn't mirrored on NX like TPWii was.

Yeah, but GC's titles are more solid.
They definitely were. It's strange how the Wii version of Mario Power Tennis didn't offer GC/CCP support optionally so for anyone that wants the game with traditional controls has to get the GC version.

Yea nintendo keeps trying to reset the games for the child market and in turn arent appealing for anyone else
the problem is they want to appeal to the old ass people too
the solution is quite simple they need to release A LOT of those games annually and continue to improve and raise the difficulty

how many marios on NES? snes? 64? etc
How many zelda on Nes? snes? etc
how many great mario parties for 64? gc? etc
how many on wiiu?
Those games for 3ds/wiu are 'ehhhh... i dont really HAVE to play it... at all ever.'

At least Nintendo try to do something new every entry, but not for this gen.

They wont waste any money on there patents Im assuming its all for the NX, so they dont get sued big like they did for the 3ds 3d feature
It seems to indicate a high INTERNET BASED COMMUNITY. (most likely paid subscription now that psn earned more than nintendo itself)
Hopefully not a steam machine, but it points at a seperate server box that can also act like a GPU for the system?
(possibly able to fit inside the nintendo) A BUILD YOUR OWN NINTENDO CONSOLE (half of the ps4 internally is a power brick and disk drive)
Looks like itll include 3 separate parts (notice how the controller isnt linked to the console, possible separate handheld)
It might use function like the "game share" for ps4 with a subscription im guessing

Nintendo seems to *NEVER* make their deadlines.
Such a weird company.
No NX for Christmas ? What a fail.
I think they did the same thing with the WiiU.

Its because iwata spilled the beans on the NX at e3 2015? and everyone was so done with the wiiu that they wanted it really bad, but everyone assumed it was coming in 2016 because of the assumption zelda was a simul-release. But amd did state one system was coming in 2017. The reason for all the hype is because people strongly believe it will finally surpass both microsoft/sony for once

No console wants to launch after Christmas. Especially a Nintendo console that is more kid-oriented than XB1 PS4. Kids need their console for Christmas.

No Christmas release is another huge fuck up.

I stated before that nintendo was going to try to skip having to put this thing on sale because it might be THAT good, (high end gaming pc specs)(ps4 is equal to low/mid pc specs)

All nintendo handhelds released near march,nntendo dominates the handheld market easy

What he said. Kimishima has stated that they won't be selling the NX at a loss this time around, and a Christmas sale 3 days after launch wouldn't exactly help that
