We decided to focus on Zelda,” he said, referring to Nintendo’s E3 2016 showcase. “We’ll talk about the NX this Fall. At that time, it will be one hundred percent NX. There, it is one hundred percent Zelda.”

Sadly we never got the E3 surprise NX announcement we wanted. However, it seems like we will get info during the fall possibly during the Tokyo Game Show or a Nintendo Direct.

Hey Canada is the first USA ally, why couldn't we be as good as them? We are just few people to populate the country, but to compensate, we dont have Donald Trump

Hey man, I'm glad NoC (that's how I'm referring to them from now on to save time) was able to play top dog this time! NoA gets most of the spotlight nowadays (at least, from my point of view they do; then again, I am a U.S. citizen, like I said). Also, Donald Trump may be the reason I move to Canada. You never know....

Does anyone know for sure if NX will be compatible with Amiibo?

Amiibos unfortunately aren't going away. It's Nintendo's own Skylanders except it holds back physical DLC than gameplay content for a specific game.

but to compensate, we dont have Donald Trump

You have Justin so.. meh.

NoC used to be where the major and minor gb and snes leaks used to come from. Soooo, I wouldn't say they are wrong yet.

NO digital only NX will have some sort of media

GOOD

But then later you discover by "physical media" they meant amiibos...

If consoles didn't have gimmicks or exclusives then there wouldn't be a reason to buy them instead of a pc.

If Nintendo is smart (for a change) they will kill the terms Wii and Mii, roll their corpses in respective carpets, and dump them in a river.

I doubt they will ever dump the term "Mii," it's just too iconic by now. However, Nintendo has actually gone on record saying that it was a mistake to try to rely on the Wii's success to jumpstart the Wii U by name alone, and have said that the NX will not be another entry in the "Wii" lineup but something else entirely

I hope you can stream on Twitch like you can on the PS4 and the Xbox One.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo creates (or already has) a NFC chip connected to a nand chip. Or something similar to nfc to store VC games on. Imagine next gen amiibos or amiibo cards with super mario bros 3 on it. Just place the thing on top of the system and launch the virtual console amiibo app to play.

I would actually like that cause it would mean we finally get some kind of "crossbuy", since the amiibo would work across consoles so that you wouldn't have to buy the game again.. Until they stop supporting amiibos.

Crossbuy for VC is probably one of the most important things I want to see coming from Nintendo. Like I really would buy DKC for the N3DS, but since it'll be locked to that console and not possible to get on other consoles, I won't.

Sooooo Wii NX huh? ...Hmmm

America! ... Or our neighbors...Canada...

I never even knew there was a Canadian branch for Nintendo (and I even live in Canada!). Well, I gotta say I'm loving this change of event.

Am I maybe the only idiot that really liked the Wiimote/motion controls scheme, way more than e.g. the Wii U gamepad.

While I never had the Wii U, when it comes it FPS I always prefer the Wiimote or similar to the tradtional controllers; it far more intuitive and, coming from a K/M user, offers me precision that controllers just couldn't match (still no match for K/M).
