Nirolak reasoning is fair as usual and arkham report only confirms it.
But it was pretty obvious also earlier.
We got no leak and no comment at all.
The only reason why nobody even ever commented about NX is simply a complete lack of interest from western publisher.
Maybe we could see another wiiu initial support with lego or skylander because those games sold decently even on wiiu. Even a cod or an assassin are way less probable.
They dont leak non comment because they are not interested in a nintendo hw.
Different matter ffor japanese ones and in fact we already had Koei comment nx, SE pseudo annuncing games, Atlus suspiciously keeping etrian oddissey 5 console secret and so on...
Primarly because they are interested in a nintendo portable for domestic sales and possibly in anything that could rum japanese games in the west

I actually think companies might be under god-level NDA's now which is why we aren't getting any leaks
You're crushing my dreams of the NX getting all the big third party IP's. NX isn't getting FIFA confirmed.
The lack of leaks in general has suggested to me that not many Western developers have it given the entire industry is a leaky bucket.
By this time from launch for the PS4 and XB1 we had 20+ page documents detailing their entire setup and weekly (or more) rumors.
How could such an NDA look like?
Punishments for every company involved in case someone leaks something, or hints something?
I doubt they'd want to miss the western holiday season.
You said this before and I agree with you. I suspect that Nintendo is taking a different approach this time around and playing for whatever long-game they've got in their head. I think they're as disillusioned with western support (now, at least, mid-gen) as we all should be and come to terms with. They're going to have come at the market with something other than "unprecedented partnerships".
I do, however, suspect they will attempt to snag as much of Japan as they can while there's still basically no market outside of the 3DS/Mobile, and attempt to also leverage that in west while rebuilding their brand off and away from the Wii/WiiU. This lines up with the WSJ leak on dev kits, as I suspect that leak came from one of the bigger companies out of Japan.
Of course, I don't know how to marry this with John's info with regards to the heavy NDAs and such, and the console being already shown off last year to people in the west. We haven't heard a word from that either, which is very strange.
You leak something, your company is contractually required to develop at least 5 retail games for NX at a quality level that Nintendo will decide. If you have a second offense, then Nintendo acquires any studio of its choosing from that company to now be second party while still funded by the original company for 10 years. If the leaker is from a company with one studio, then Nintendo now owns them completely. With each consecutive offense, another studio is claimed by Nintendo.
This is Nintendo's plan for regaining third party support.
What did idea man say?
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey. Its 2012 all over again!

Ideaman in a Nintendo thread? Dig out the time machine were heading back to the infamous Wii U Speculation Threads. Brace for inflated hopes, dreams and a whole lot of crazy.

The blurb from Fortune in June of last year (which is one of the better legit sources we have), mentioned the reaction from third parties at E3 2015 was positive.
We also did get comments from EA's CEO about the NX a couple months ago that you could read as positive.
There's also the comments from Takeda and Takahashi from the last Nintendo investor Q&A that suggest the NX SDK is going to be all third parties need for most of development.
In the case of EA, remember that basically their entire console output runs on either the Frostbite engine (action games) or Ignite engine (sports games). Only the necessary number of folks on those two engine teams to get those engines running on NX will need the SDK at this point. Or possibly even less than that if Nintendo has internal staff helping to get those engines up and running on NX.
Genyo Takeda (Senior Managing Director said: I understand that, thanks to the evolution of computer technology, aiming to realize a virtualized software development environment that does not depend on specific hardware is becoming the technological norm today. Simultaneously, regarding input and output technologies, I believe that it is also in line with the current technological trend that Nintendo should challenge itself with the creation of a unique user interface.
I don't get it, why is everyone so hype for his return? From what I was told, he got a few things wrong. Was it like the Gematsu leak for Smash 4 where it was super-early info?Holy shit ...
mmh...

He is french. We should look for french abbreviations.Meet me halfway?
Makes me happy?
Make me hamburgers?
Tied up in basement with duct-tape on his mouth?
I honestly try to keep my expectation as low as realistically possible without going into "Nintendo's gonna go third party after this" territory. It minimizes disappointment.I don't care ahahaha ... I just want leaks and meltdown on gaf. Is fun to watch .
Anyway i hope we'll get reliable leaks
So it was like the Gematsu leak for Smash 4.There were multiple speculation threads, and if I remember correctly there were multiple things that Ideaman leaked that turned out to be true (I don't know what they were since it's already been 4 years.
However, not all what he said turned out to be correct, but that could have been because of some changes with later SDK's.
Overall, Ideaman proved himself to be a reliable source at that time.
He is french. We should look for french abbreviations.

So it's less of his info being a Gematsu situation & more of him letting his hype sauce mix into his info sauce (so-to-speak) a little bit. Like when you eat chicken strips & you get a bit of honey mustard in your buffalo sauce.Übermatik;191676740 said:There were several "Wii U speculation threads", where GAFers discussed the possibilities of Nitnendo's next hardware. Alongside this discussion was 'insider' input, developers and staff in the industry that occasionally dropped info and 'tidbits' - one of these people (amongst a few) was IdeaMan, a french(?) dude that kept the threads going with occasional 'leaks'...

He got a few things wrong, yeah, but this was mostly because he injected hype into the details, which kinda came back and bit him in the ass. A lot of the info he shared regarding the devkits was correct, however, and his information correlates with what we've since heard post-release form other devs.

If the tidbits he might leak are inaccurate I'd rather he not leak anything at all.
You just had to be there during WUST. Everything was honey mustard.
With Ideaman and Arkam these past few pages, this thread has delivered on NX speculation.
mmh...
