And what about the 3DS? Do you expect it to start fading away later this year?

That's actually not true at all.
Only 3DS hardware & software were adjusted down.
Wii U hardware projections remained unchanged and software projections were adjusted UP (!) not down (Wii software was also adjusted upwards).
Feel free to re-read.

Probably related to the upcoming spring lineup they have set to reveal in this upcoming direct
Interesting that 3DS was projected down even though is seems to be getting just as much software this year
I mean I know its been on a downward trend for awhile anyways (maybe Japan is actually 3DS saturated for its market?)

This has nothing to do with the upcoming year. The projections are for the fiscal year that ends this month. They'll announce their projections for the next FY in next month's investor meeting (end of April).

He's still alive. Not sure about his source.
His source may have been Erik Peterson who just "left" NoA suddenly after 13 years. That budget info is probably what took it too far for Nintendo and they sent a C&D to him and fired his source.
But that doesn't explain why he had to take down the FFXV and FFVIIR coming to NX and being the definitive version videos since that was a rumor/conjecture. Unless it's true?
You can tell I'm bored lol.Dat tinfoil hat is unbecoming to you

It obviously wasn't him. He's Treehouse, not upper marketing.
You do realize how much access to information people inside the Treehouse have, right? Basically more than anyone else at NoA, outside upper management/VPs.
Here's a good read: http://kotaku.com/inside-the-treehouse-the-people-who-help-make-nintendo-1301809672
Entirely plausible that someone from inside the Treehouse had this information, even if it wasn't him.

You're not necessarily wrong in theory, but in reality, the theory doesn't hold water, that's all I can say

I take your word for it, was just shedding some light on the fact that the Treehouse is probably one of the most secretive/unreleased-information-dense places at NoA's campus

projection is only for end of March.
It's all bollocks anyway, they would have known sales couldn't reach 7.6 million at their last report at the start of Feb., nothing much could have changed in the few weeks until the adjustment in that regard, they just decided to bundle all the bad news together.
Treehouse is NoA's marketing. NoA is basically a giant marketing firm for Nintendo's western support along with localization.It obviously wasn't him. He's Treehouse, not upper marketing.
You'd knowIt wasn't Erik
The theory doesn't hold water that it was Erik, I was joking lol. But the theory that it's a treehouse member does. Your tone says itYou're not necessarily wrong in theory, but in reality, the theory doesn't hold water, that's all I can say

If it was Reggie or Bill it should be obvious by E3.
In case it were Bill, we already have footage of when it's fired, thanks to last year's E3 teaser.

What is N-Stars?

So what happened to Style Savvy? :S Is it still in the cards?
Could it possible be Monster Hunter Generations? If only because it seems that much like MH4U we'll be seeing several crossover armour sets, starting with Marth.
If anything, MH4U certainly seemed like it starred several Nintendo characters without them explicitly making an appearance.

As in "Heathcliff"
Someone with source said that Cadilac is Style Savvy in other thread.

If N-Stars is a high budget title, we are not getting the next generation portable in 2016 in North America. Not like they'd want to sabotage their market anyways.
Didn't someone else say "Cadilac" has historically been Pokemon games of some sort?

That was my first time hearing about that right now. Can you find a post for someone to mention that?

The same guy who leaked Pokemon White 2 and Black 2.

I bet is the amiibo game.
It's supposed to be a Mario Party game, I believe...

I'd like to think that Cadillac was for Kirby and YW2 for Torte City.
I'm betting that they'll announce YW2 at E3.
They haven't announced an exact release date for RH +, so its possible its not one of the summer releases.
Kirby is not something I see Nintendo spending a huge budget on.
Style Savvy seems like its out of the picture now.

I guess this Direct kind shows that not only is the Wii U dying, but the 3DS is on its way out as well. With the exception of Federation Force & maybe Sun/Moon (we have yet to see gameplay), most of Nintendo's 3DS games that they're publishing are either late localizations or games based on pre-existing engines to pad out the 3DS line-up this year. While it does indicate that the NX Handheld won't be out this year, it does kinda show that Nintendo was in a bit of a rush to get enough games to keep the 3DS alive until at least early 2017. Lucky for them, the third party games are picking up the slack (a number of which being late localizations, namely Bravely Second & Monster Hunter Generations).
That being said, I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't touch on Mother 3 or Style Savvy (that is, unless Rhythm Heaven Megamix is actually Cadillac & not Style Savvy 3).

Having re-evaluated everything, I still believe that's right.
eShop stuff doesn't seem to be covered (i.e. Rhythm Heaven) in this list - note that the Jockey and MDK amiibo games aren't there either, nor is SNES Virtual Console. So i think Cadillac is still Style Savvy, not Rhythm Heaven.
Kirby is definitely the Torte game though.
Isn't Rhythm Heaven getting a physical copy? It wasn't listed as an eShop-only title.
They have to save some 3DS and Wii U news for E3 to entice consumers to buy them or not completely abandon them. Probably Zelda U (probably shown as an NX game and also coming to Wii U), more extensive Paper Mario footage, TMS (it won't be out at E3 yet), and for 3DS they'll show Pokémon Sun/Moon, Detective Pikachu, Mother 3 and some other late localizations.
Linked screwed up sorry brb
Link didn't work. Is that a banned site? If so let me know and I will remove the screen cap.
what it do bro
So hyped that this info continues prove to be true as each day pass by. Cannot wait for that sweet Zelda on NX. Literally don't care about anything else at this point. I'm done buying games for Wii U and 3DS and it's just a matter of patiently wait to move onto new hardware while playing Splatoon. Don't fuck it up, Nintendo. Don't. I trust you will not dissapoint dis time.
This makes no sense. Is Pokemon an NX game now...?

At the very least we should see the Call of Duty thing soon. Man, the Nintendo ninjas have been sleeping lately!
Though this is probably an Activision ninja, you get what I mean
Shared library would mean yes.

Spider-Man: The First Avenger? What? That's the subtitle of the first Captain America movie...I'm highly skeptical that the MCU is going to tie into a game that reuses a subtitle.
Also, what credible video game website would type this and not know how to spell Mewtwo?
Shared library between 3DS and NX? I've never seen that speculated before. I've only seen people talk about it being between NX devices.
I was thinking Sun and Moon. I don't see another Pokemon that quickly after S&M.
I was talking about the NX devices, I don't see anything in that rumor that implies Sun/Moon is going anywhere but the 3ds, but they could make it cross gen.

The last rumor from that source was blatantly made up on the spot. I wouldn't pay too much attention to this one.
Yeah I don't really believe it either but it's something to discuss i guess lol
