"Big" Nintendo announcement happening Monday

[Selim873]

Maybe the new account system is coming out. Based on the poll though, I picked mobile. I don't think anything Smash related would be "huge" enough news looking at the context.

I think this is going to be about the Nintendo Account (or whatever it's called) system. It would mean there is going to be a major update for both 3DS and Wii U to handle achievements (with changes for the UI?) and the new fidelity program. And that would be cool.
I can't really think of anything "big" other than that, since they said more details about NX were going to be revealed in 2016. I wouldn't mind if they talked a little bit about it though

Took the words right out of my mouth. lol

If it's not NX related I'll be disappointed

I want either what you said or the NX. I hope it is legit called the Nintendo NX that is such a cool name. What else could it be called if it isn't a member of the Wii family? Either way I will always call it the NX.

Don't count on it. It's still too early. Although, knowing about the rumor of the NX going into mass production this coming spring, don't be surprised if we get some kind of announcement during production.

I just want to see what it will look like. I don't care to see what it will do just yet.

The Wii U is a dying console so while they may want to try and profit off as much as possible it wouldn't be wrong to expect Nintendo from announing anything NX-like.

Trust me, I wanna know what it looks like as well. lol Well, if you also think about it, and this is assuming the production report is true, Nintendo could have announced it already if they wanted to. If it's scheduled to go into mass production so soon, it had to have been finalized already. We already know the next Dragon Quest is in the works. The PS4 was announced 8 months before release, and the Xbox One was announced even closer to release.

To those saying they wont talk about the NX until 2016 here is what the president of Nintendo JPN said a few days ago. It's gonna be about the NX guys
"I can assure you we’re not building the next version of Wii or Wii U," he told Time in a wide-ranging interview. "It’s something unique and different. It’s something where we have to move away from those platforms in order to make it something that will appeal to our consumer base." THIS WILL BE THE GAMECUBE OF THE MODERN ERA

Same here. It would be cool if they use NX as the definitive name, but I think they won't.

I really don't think they will do this, especially right now. I'm pretty sure this is the last big year we'll have in terms of Wii U games (except Zelda), so they will probably try to sell as many as they can, and do an announce in january, like they did with the New 3DS... A lot of people wouldn't have bought the original 3DS for christmas in 2014 if Nintendo announced they would release a new, better model 2 month later.

I was EXTREMELY relieved to hear those news when Kimishima said that! I have relatives that worked for retail and they even thought the WiiU was just a controller. lol

ITS HAPPENING DUDES CLENCH YOUR BUTTS. WE'RE SEEING THE NX TOMARROW

I think they will announce Zelda Wii U (new Zelda) is being released March 2016.
The other "worth playing game" is Xenoblade Chronicles X which just released.
I'm still not getting one. Hopefully new Zelda Wii U will be released on another platform at some point.

I actually think it will be the Nintendo cross

I was thinking about that as well, it would nicely reflect the "portable + home console" feel

I think it will be running the rumored NX chip. Badda psss. AMD said they are working on a new chip.

Remember this guys

If NX is a Home Console/Handheld hybrid it gotta launch with Pokemon. Would explain why this year we didn't saw a Pokemon game.

That is very true. More and more signs a making it seem like this is the glorious NX

And besides, they don't always release one game of the main series per year

I'm talking about mainline series not spin offs.
