Really want this software news. Been wanting it since e3 2015, but the wait isn't killing me tbh. The fanxiety I have is background level rather than clearly present to me.

Ah, Emily now said she's not sure if news will be this week? I'd missed that. That's unfortunate.

Her recent tweets on the matter

Emily Rogers ‏@ArcadeGirl64 5 h5 ore fa
After speaking to some people, I'm not 100% convinced that news will happen this week. But I do have a software update if you're interested

Emily Rogers ‏@ArcadeGirl64 5 h5 ore fa
@ArcadeGirl64 I'm still pretty confident that we're getting news this week. I'll have an update on this later today...

To give a complete context, she also said

For most part, I'm done reporting NX. People can believe what they want. If I hear an update on an announcement/reveal, I'll let you know.

Why? You can just ignore it right. Its the only place on GAF to support each other. Hell, call the topic 'NX waiting support' or something, because I truly think some people here need the support before they go batshit crazy

Yeah it's annoying.

Nobody tells you to enter this topic or any other topic you may not like. Let people have fun and their hype. They're not out on the streets causing pain to anybody.

Yesterday people were insistent that there is a period between 13:00-15:00 BST where NoE must tweet on the hour every hour about the NX.

24 hours later it's happening all over again.

*reads last few pages of Emily Rogers hysteria*

Christ, people, just wait for the 26th and be pleasantly surprised if there's any news before then. If WSJ's latest is any indication, we're pretty much assured of at least a reveal date then, which is still a huge deal after all this madness.

Link to WSJ's latest? Hard to follow this thread sometimes.

Emily admitted she doesn't know shit when she said she's not 100% convinced there will be news this week.

I'm done hyping this bitch and i'm done with this topic. See you on the 26th

I just finished watching Nintendo's E3 2013 Digital Event, in anticiation for the NX reveal announcement. Damn what an INSANE lineup of games. And most of them turned out to be genre-defining experiences (Mario 3D World, MK8, Smash, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade X, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Wonderful 101).

Like I said, wait till October 21st which is a Friday, before getting all hyped or disappointed. Don't over analyze every tweet and do hype countdowns for 10am every day lol.

October 21st is also my anniversary, and I will be gone all weekend and probably won't have a lot of access to GAF. So it's definitely happening then.

You're welcome everyone.

Nintendo will need to do a full reveal before the Wednesday invested briefing. That mean we need a Direct atleast by Tuesday the day before. That also means we need a anouncement of the Direct soon. The latest this can happen is on Monday. So I guess GAF will be on hyperbole countdown mode all the way until Monday. If we don't hear anything by then GAF will go into desperation mode and just would would be on countdown mode for NX mention in the investor meeting.

I don't necessarily think a full reveal is necessary by then. Maybe some tidbits are all that is required.

No need to call her a bitch. I also don't think she knows anything based on the fact her leaks are so generic or just piggyback on other leaks but I atleast say why I don't think she is reliable instead of calling her names.

Thanks. So the last thing she's said about it is she's still pretty confident snd will give an update later today. So, that's some cause for optimism.

Yep I'm with you there, though it sure doesn't look like many other people in this thread agree. They'd rather shit on insiders for trying to nail down a moving target to give us more information.

If this NX shit is making you anxious, get off the internet and focus on something else for a few days. Work, study, exercise, chill with friends, play a good game, read a good book, join a cult and summon demons, etc.

I can't. I write about games for a living 8 hours a day. So I'm actually supposed to keep checking if there's NX news. Aaaaaah!

Tick tock everyone, Ninty trained me well to wait forever for anything they've ever announced. I'll just sit back and enjoy the insanity ensuing in the meantime. At least I've got the pres debate later tonight and the coverage all week to keep me entertained.

Folks, they can't announce it in 36 minutes, I'm not behind my computer then :( :(

Knowing Nintendo and my luck, it'll probably happen...
Click to expand...

Don't worry nothing is gonna happen, and it'll be so fun to read your comments when after the next week meeting all we'll know officially about NX is that it'll be reveal in 2017 and expected to release before the end of that year(not fiscal year)

What?! Why people are talking about an announcement in about 30 minutes?
Click to expand...


Because Nintendo usually makes their announcements around then and Emily said there will be news this week and if there's news this week this is the last possible day for an announcement of an announcement because they need at least two days for that and also it can't be on a weekend because Nintendo doesn't really do that.

As you can see, we've entered loonyville.
