NX will launch in March 2017 globally, won't be at E3 (focusing on Zelda instead)

I normally don't say things like this, but Nintendo HAS to give fans some sort of unexpected treat to tide them over for the rest of the year.
And Color Splash is not it.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Why does the NX NEED Zelda if all of Nintendo's internal teams have already bailed and are working on NX games.
Shouldn't that mean Nintendo should have a fuck ton of stuff ready for launch?

You listed one Wii U game.
Also since we're doing this, I live in Australia, so I get EU localizations. SMT 4-2 is sure to come out this year right?

Yeah but everyone and their grandma had already softmodded the Wii by that point.
Mother 3?
It's also a nonsense definition of insanity and just a bad quote in general.

More likely than Person 5 i'd guess, SMT is already out in Japan, neither is Persona. ;]

It's not bad at all to release NX in March, in a vacuum. The problem is that there's nothing between now (Star Fox & Pokken) and NX launch except for an offshoot Paper Mario game. And this is after a full year of nothing between Splatoon and Star Fox/Pokken except for Mario Maker, Yoshi, and Xenoblade X.

I wonder if the PS Neo and Xbox 1.5 shook them up and caused them to push back further to up NX power?
In any case, not launching until March 2017 is a long time to be largely irrelevant as there's next to nothing coming for Wii U or 3DS between now and then. Pokemon and Monster Hunter on the 3DS I guess, but those aren't selling hardware as fans of those series already bought 3DSs for those franchises.

They are going to ruin the messaging of their console launch before it is even properly announced.BREAKING NEWS from CNN:
Or they'll hold their own event (and it should be an event, not a Direct) like Sony and Microsoft did.

Okay techGAF, since 14nm is now on the table, what is the most powerful chipset Nintendo could fit in the handheld while maintaining battery life around the level of the 3DS or N3DS?

Why do I feel like this E3 is going to be 40% hype and 60% salt?

BREAKING NEWS from CNN:
Does this count as mainstream exposure?
Does it really matter, all this kerfuffle? I mean if they get the console and the games right, isn't that what matters really in the end?
I haven't really liked a Nintendo console since the Gamecube just cause of how they tried to be weird about the controllers and systems, but if they can pull out a hit, it makes all of the delays and speculation and concern pretty meaningless in the end.
Let's hope they can pull out something good
Not for handhelds.

Yikes, this looks SO BAD for the company optically. They must have known that, but still.
Yeah, obviously. They're still chasing lightning in a bottle.

I am sure glad that the WiiU is my secondary console (PC primary) as the gap between quality titles is far too large for my liking. 5.5 years between Zelda console titles is a bit of a joke considering it is one of their flagship titles. Matter of fact, where is Super Mario 3D World 2?

Between the new PS4K, no NX and a possible Xbox 1.5/2 announcement, it's going to be a goddamned bloodbath.

"Um, so what would I press to do this on the NX version?"
"Is this in the NX version?"
"Any other differences we should know about?"
Hoping somebody who knows slips up a bit.. But most likely, no one will have a clue what the NX version is or does.
Because you cannot please most people with just Zelda and Pokemon.
It's ok. Nintendo fans will still claim Treehouse and Ninty are the best things ever and won E3~ /s
Seriously though, this reeks of Nintendo getting a bit shook by Sony and PS4 Neo. I mean really though, do you really want to launch a new system next to a system upgrade launch and the launch of their VR solution? Going back to March gives them time to breathe and get their launch lineup in order. I do think a holiday unveiling is a terrible idea though.
Gaf: NX Zelda? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your company?
Nintendo : Yes.
Gaf: May we see it?
Nintendo: No.
They're not even showing the system at E3. They have nothing ready to show 9 months before launch.
NX launch is going to be barren.

Crazy move, NX continues to shock us all.
That's basically my stance. This is very weird and it's hard to be in the dark for so long, but it's all moot once the games and hardware launch. Life goes on.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it though.

March 2017 is perfectly fine for me.
Don't know what all the riff raff is about with this.
11 months.

Which is literally irrelevant unless you so happen to be able to read Japanese.
99.5% of the people on this forum and Nintendo's audience in the west in general can't read japanese.
This line of thought is just dumb tbh. Of course late localizations are part of a systems line up.
And they don't turn to "shovelware" (which doesn't mean "game I'm not interested in for some dumb reason")

I thought CNN would only cover gaming news from E3 since E3 is all that matters?BREAKING NEWS from CNN:
Wait they covered news from some briefing in Japan?
"brand new concept" = not the Wii U

So my decision on whether to get an NX or PSVR was just made for me lol.
Well at least Pokemon's still coming. Which is something at E3 to look forward to as well

I hope they leave most of it empty and make it really awkward.
The map though does seem to confirm my suspicions the NX was actually supposed to be at E3 but something has gone horribly wrong.

Where did you get that idea? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
My guess is something happened. The current date is way too odd or we're just not thinking outside the box on what the NX is. I don't even know. I'm certainly curious about the form factor and price with that release date though.

And just where is that holiday unveiling stuff coming from? The only thing that is known, is that there probably will be a standalone event for NX, nothing about when this is.
