There it is. Emily Rogers is clearly implying that the NX reveal event will occur this week, against what Toto heard.

EDIT : I got Ash-Greninj'd.

Well there it is .gif

Original OP:

"About SMR: it's still on track for a December release. Surprisingly, the game is not developed by Nintendo but partner DeNA."

"So the main engineering team sits in Tokyo, while Nintendo takes over "just" QA. Miyamoto is personally overseeing the game's progress."

"No trolling intended+take this one with a big grain of salt, but I was told not to expect a NX reveal this week. Might be wrong!"

"The interesting point here is that initially, under the partnership DeNA was supposed to cover the backend only."

"PS: I was told that Nintendo *will* talk about NX next Wednesday (Q2 earnings), but that's not really news: that *have* to then."

"PPS: Super Mario is still designed and directed by Nintendo in Kyoto. Engineered at DeNA in Tokyo."

Our own HotColdman asked, "I mean, what were people expecting? Just a random reveal out of the blur? They need to get people to save a date first."

Toto: "Something like that could happen, yes. Again, source situation is rock solid in the case of MR, not quite that good for NX."

"Rasca30 ‏@Rasca30
@serkantoto but there's a meeting with the investors next week do you think nintendo will say nothing before the 26th??

Serkan Toto: 26th at the latest."

Where is the Super Mario Run info in that tweet? It just talks about the NX.

No NX reveal doesn't necessarily rule out the announcement of a Direct for next week. Hope isn't dead yet

Was there a reason to believe it would?

Don't believe his lies!

Lady Siara · Oct 18, 2016

DeNA does great work so Super Mario Run is in good hands I think.

Regarding the NX, oh well. If it shows up in the next week, great. A full reveal in that timeframe seems to be asking a bit much though.

FZZ · Oct 18, 2016

Take me off this wild ride please

DecoReturns · Oct 18, 2016

I'm pretty sure I read SMR was being made by Nintendo. I can't check because I'm on mobile but it was an interview on that

purseowner · Oct 18, 2016

Tease Friday, reveal next week?

Either way, GAF will be fun on Wednesday.

SatoAilDarko · Oct 18, 2016

I'm okay with this. Have actual Nintendo focus on the console games while overseering the mobile games and making sure there're up to snuff.

Vanillalite · Oct 18, 2016

He also points out that his opinion is that Nintendo's going to need to reveal it before the 26th.

I don't believe anyone's been 100% certain that it will be revealed this week, just that Nintendo's probably going to break their silence this week.

Yep, that's the impression I'd gotten also. That's why I was surprised to read that. It does free up some resources though. #paging Shikamaru, I think he will be pleased to see this if it's true.

I'll add this to the OP. Grazie.

No one has outright said it was being revealed this week outside of that Oct. 21 Direct rumor. Expecting NX news this week is very different from a reveal. An announcement of the reveal would qualify.

Kingpin Rogers · Oct 18, 2016

I'm out, done. Leaving the NX hype and not coming back. Can't take all the conflicting reports and statements. Call me when we get something official.

Oh well, maybe the following week but take that with a huge grain of salt

Hehe

FZZ said:

The best is to expect NX news everyday, to express your disappointment loudly and to restart that again for each day until the thing's finally announced.

NinjaCoachZ · Oct 18, 2016

Mario Run stuff seems new but even with the NX stuff

A - lack of total confidence
B - doesn't contradict prior reports afaik
C - Was anyone expecting the full reveal this week?

RedFyn · Oct 18, 2016

When did Dena start developing games?

Edit: Ah. So they renamed mobage to Dena. Not to be confused with the publisher Dena. It's all very confusing

Usually Directs are announced the same week though I do vaguely remember one being announced the previous week, could be the Majoras Mask one...

NOLA_Gaffer · Oct 18, 2016

Nintendo's going to have a really good holiday between Pokemon Sun/Moon, the Classic NES Mini, and Super Mario Run.

Also, I'd love someone to do a tally to see what we have more of: NX threads or Donald Trump threads.

Nirolak · Oct 18, 2016

I do want to point out that there's a distinction between saying they will talk about the NX by the 26th, and that they will formally unveil it.

Yup.

"oh yeah we're totally doing something called NX next year, be excited!"

*Call ends*

cw_sasuke · Oct 18, 2016

I dont really a DeNA developed Mario runner. Talk about killing the hype.

Sure, but it would make more sense for investors to come into the meeting with a full understanding of what NX is as a product, and Kimishima et al. to brief them on the financial aspects.

But Nintendo does some weird stuff and it's not like we haven't waited a long time already, so sure, that's possible.

liquidtmd said:

Maybe this is naive, but I honestly don't think they can play the "it's still coming in March, reveal date TBA, nothing to announce today" card again this close to launch. Bare minimum is either a reveal date or a delay into next FY.

Not that I'm aware of. He hasn't even talked much about NX, beyond the juicy details about Bamco's plans for the system.

I think they might announce an unveil window (or reaffirm it as "Fall") and then hold a special investor briefing after the unveil.

Emily Rogers' reputation will evaporate with the quickness if nothing is shown in the next two weeks.

Well I don't want a Nintendo developed Mario runner so at least this turned out well for one of us.

If Nintendo somehow reveals nothing about the NX in the month of October, no one will be thinking about Emily Rogers.

As in, Nintendo will be getting the third degree... from everyone.

TunaLover · Oct 18, 2016

Kimishima: NX is a Nintendo system that plays video games, please look forward to more info at 2017 E3.

NinjaCoachZ · Oct 18, 2016

jett said:

Well, she's definitely putting her reputation on the line with all her NX reports. Total life and death situation. I admire that actually.

The flipside of course is that if she's right she makes a big name for herself.

Well...actually you are kinda right - knowing that the Nintendo devs are all busy with NX stuff is good news.

I actually hope they do this, a PS4 PRO will be a lot easier justified if there's more time between the two systems.

Kouriozan · Oct 18, 2016

This is surprising, one would think the mascot IP would have been made by Nintendo themselves.
But I don't doubt there are closely surpervising it.

killroy87 · Oct 18, 2016

26th at the latest?? We'll see about that.

This is so weird lol. Sony announced the PS4 reveal at least a month beforehand, if I remember correctly. It's technically possible that this happens super quickly, but it's incredibly out of the ordinary. It makes me believe the entire reveal is a Nintendo Direct. Which is fine with me, it's just super weird to not want press impressions.

Nirolak said:

That would be equal parts infuriating and hilarious. But again, if it's not delayed, I expect a reveal date at minimum.

No more weeks, just reveal now.

4 different sources is boiling down to Emily's reputation on the line. Jeez, some of you

Yeah, I actually see this as positive news. Nintendo's mobile games likely won't live or die based on their gameplay anyway- rather, the brand recognition will cause these games to sell.

I'd much rather have Nintendo's developers busy with huge amounts of NX games.

ArchedThunder · Oct 18, 2016

Why do I get the feeling that they will say this at the investor meeting?
"We will release our new video game system codenamed NX in March, we will announce further details later this year."

SinCityAssassin · Oct 18, 2016

The flip flop is what bothers me. Either it's this week or it isn't.
