​

Today via their latest finacial report, Nintendo announced that their new upcoming gaming system, codenamed the Nintendo NX, will be released worldwide in March 2017.

“For our dedicated video game platform business, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codenamed ‘NX’ with a brand-new concept. NX will be launched in March 2017 globally.”

The Nintendo NX will not show at this year's E3, instead the company will focus on the latest Zelda title at the upcoming conference, which will now be a dual release for both WiiU and the NX.

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

Update. The new open world Zelda is also set to appear on the NX and Wii U at the same time.

Hopefully Nintendo doesn't get burrowed by the pressure of the built-up expectations due to time.

The whole concept of the 'NX' sounds like a steaming turd to me. IMHO Nintendo should repeat the SNES and blow the competition out of the water with hardware specs, which would win over 3rd party devs and PS/XBox customers, not just the die hard fanboys. A handheld that plugs into your TV is not going to have the power as a home console that will win over big devs.

I'm honestly stunned they think not showing at E3 is the way to go. :/
Nintendo just loves driving us nuts.

Once again, Nintendo is delaying things way too much. PS4K may show up on this year's E3

This means the Wii U is the first Nintendo system with 0 exclusive, true Zelda titles. WTF!?

It's also the first Nintendo console with 4 years life span

They had a really bad time with the Wii U.. Where is our true Animal Crossing title? :/

I agree. Problem is that Nintendo will be out first(?) now. Only way they can do a SNES is to shorten the lifespan of the NX and release a powerhouse after the next PS and Xbox. If they MS and Sony will release on that is.

You guys know the drill: buy the nx at launch date, put it under your bed and wait for new hax ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

wat? It was given a few months stay of execution.

 

[Varia]

This sure got me much less hyped for E3...

Id give it a couple of months in case it flops, like with the wii u where it got quite cheap from stores getting rid of stock or 3ds where they cut the price.

Only reason ill be buying an nx near launch, otherwise ill be giving it at least a couple of years.

If you guys still had any hopes for Nintendo's E3 this year I guess it's gone

everyone laughed at me when i said they will pull another TP now who's laughing?![emoji14]

Seems like phones might be the 3ds's replacement and NX, the WiiU's.

 

[rasputin]

expect the game to be delayed again in march 2017

 

[Glyptofane]

This reminds me of the end of GameCube. Zelda and Paper Mario were promised, Zelda got dual released, Super Paper Mario delayed for Wii.

I'm pretty sure that's just part of their agreement with some company (DeNa, I think?)

I have been telling my friends for months now that the real reason Zelda was delayed was for launching on the NX alongside the Wii U. None of them believed me as they were blinded by fanboyism and that Zelda would save the Wii U. Who will buy it on Wii U when NX will have the superior version?

Really Nintendo? Really? Animal Crossing?! Fire Emblem?!

Way to make me feel less guilty about pirating all your shit.
