Miyamoto: Nintendo can't comment on NX because of "an idea that we're working on"
- Thread starter thefro
- Start date
Reminds me of that slide that the late Mr. Iwata showed at one of the investor briefings.
It was for the health program OQL.

Reading this thread is like reading the Zelda threads before E3. People were so convinced that there was nothing new that Nintendo could add to "open world" games. Most of us were convinced that it was all done before. Why would people give and arm and leg to get Zelda right now when it is on a dead system? Nintendo shut a lot of critics up at E3 with Zelda and I'm sure they will do the same here with NX. I can't wait.

Throw us a bone here. Matt, lherre, anybody!
I am still picturing NX as some type of semi-stationary device. Not really a console or a handheld. But I have no friggin idea.

I really don't see what's "non-wearable" supposed to mean when it's clearly not supposed to mean things that were there before being wearable
Was Nintendo working on hardware accelerated mind control or what

Pretty much this. It's pretty exciting to see what new stuff Nintendo can come up with.
Idd, i hate it when people inventing lies. Just do some research please...

NX had a good run , March 2017 - March 2017
Also, we had some discussion before that the new brand exp would not just be the hybrid thing.
This qoute from miyamotto proves my though already from a while ago that it's something totally new unique. Also told many times that they can't reveal it because they don't wont their idea to be stolen.

This can mean anything though. You can still bring a new experience, and borrow ideas from the past at the same time. The DS did it, it simply took the dual screen concept from the Game & Watch multi-screen series, and gave it touch screen, mic, polygons, and wireless.

Well that's exciting news.

If you think a hybrid is a gimmick then yeah. I'm going to speculate that the delay is due to them maybe securing some battery parents or doing a deal with a battery tech company or something.
A hybrid will need a really good battery to be worthwhile so maybe they don't want to say anything until they can guarantee at least 8-10 hours of battery life.

This.
We have yet to have an insider articulate what this brand new concept is. Clearly it's an integral part of NX. So it follows that, if you're in the know --> you would be able to at least describe the concept at a high level. Even just to tell us if it's closer to a traditional console or a handheld. At least the reddit hoax had a new concept.
Specs and comparisons to existing hardware aren't even in the same ballpark of discussion, imo.
And it worked.
They also did:
shoulder buttons
3d stick
rumble
....
But it has nothing to do with wii or wiiu. Nothing motion related but something fresh.
The console industry needs it, because the sales are really bad this gen.
People are sick of gfx upgrade, they want to have fresh games, thats why many are hyped with the VR.
So why are you buying consoles in the first place when you could be purchasing PC equipment?

It's probably the hybrid thing. Right?
I get the feeling that the number of people in the know on this is so small that said gimmick hasn't even left Nintendo's walls yet, and whatever is out there is incomplete.

Animated miiverse emotes.
Agree, just like the analog stick or dpad or wiimote.
The most important thing is, that the concept is something brand new.
Something no one did used before within gaming world.
I don't expect something wii or wii u motion like. Because they made that clear.
Could be some kind of vr patent that they already described many years ago...
Okay. So sounds like NX will indeed come down to some big mystery we have no good way to speculate about. As has been said (if not in this thread, elsewhere), it does seem to me that the shared ecosystem is more of an innovation on their end to better service customers for better adoption over time and a way to, perhaps, pull customers from one device to another as well as a way to hedge against one of the devices failing, than a hooking 'gimmick.' Sounds like there will be a such a 'gimmick' and here's to hoping it is cool or at least not bad and sells them some more consoles so we can all stop worrying, Nintendo can try new games, etc.
No, because of many reasons, It isn't also a fresh idea.

For what it's worth I'm super-bummed that nobody did anything worthwhile with the Wii U Gamepad past the launch of the system with a few exceptions.
So much potential there. Fuck.

Lol, people still believe Nintendo is lying and still would go on with the wii brand. Ok
Haha seriously. First word to pop in my head.

They never added the 2nd gamepad support they promised @E3'12.

What are you even talking about? Devs can get devkits before specs are finalized and numerous systems have had specs changed within the last year before release.
Kinda shows ya how bad they fucked up with Wii U.
Probably partially they're timid about showing this thing off. Everything leading up to Wii U was a disaster.

Reason #10 why I don't think the NX will launch in March. I think we'll get some info about NX over the next 11 months then a full reveal at E3 2017. Launch Holiday 2017.
People need to realize despite how poorly the Wii U has performed, Nintendo has a bunch of assets/cash, and is in no hurry to launch a new system. Time is irrelevant to Nintendo
