All 3 kinds can co-exist, but the timing is important. A grandiose single player 3D Mario game on the same level as Galaxy would help sell the NX in the launch window much more than another 3D World. They should leave the other two for later when NX is more established.
Gen 7 in general has been Game Freak doing unpredictable things.
I could see them being wrong on the GameFreak part. Where they automatically think Gamefreak with pokémon.
I'd imagine it'd be some sort of launch game in the vein of pokémon Dash etc
Gen V says hi!
Within 6 months? It should be AT launch.
True, but this would splinter their userbase and I know that's not something Game Freak would do.
I would love three Mario titles for the NX:
A "true" single player 3D Mario game, which is a sequel to 64/Sunshine/Galaxy.
Another isometric co-op game, a sequel to Super Mario 3D World/Land.
And another co-op 2D New Super Mario Bros instalment.
I really am craving for a proper 3D game again, but I love all 3 aspects of the franchise.

Pokémon DOckIsn't POKEMONX already out ?
To be fair, perhaps Nintendo & Game Freak found a way to allow for local trading between the 3DS & the NX. The uncertainty of that feature was the main reason why I thought that an NX port was unlikely (well, that & Game Freak's history with taking their time adopting new hardware).True, but this would splinter their userbase and I know that's not something Game Freak would do.
So that they have nothing for 6 months again?

Regarding the Pokemon game, it's been like what ? 1 year since Genius Sonority released their last game and they were recently hiring(according to google translate). My bet is on them.
Miyamoto said:"We're always challenging ourselves to create something new, so hopefully you'll see a new kind of Mario in about a year or two," Shigeru Miyamoto said in an interview with IGN.
"Maybe next E3 we'll be able to share something."

I am thinking this might be the case.Maybe they heard from a source that a Pokemon game is in the making and assumed it was GF. Can't believe a main game either especially with the missing backwards compatibility.
That's why I'm still a bit hesitant to buy into this rumor (more so considering how dated the 3DS's online infrastructure is), but I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to figure this out.It'd be the online that needs to be combined, too. If they can do cross platform play between 3DS and NX without needing any extra hoops to be gone through, then it's possible. However, is that really likely?
This would make sense. It would be nice if MCV could elaborate on what they've heard.Maybe they heard from a source that a Pokemon game is in the making and assumed it was GF. Can't believe a main game either especially with the missing backwards compatibility.

When your portable console is also your home console, what's the difference?
I do think it makes sense for Pokemon to be a port though, would be kinda crazy for them to pump out two Pokemon games in such a short period of time.
The problem I've had with this is every generation it's pretty much always been a new 3D Mario game lol.About the new Mario game.

The firm has also been busy securing third-party support with Sega, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Activision and Warner Bros already onboard.
But the issue is that by the time the NX drops, most of those who would want Sun/Moon would have already gotten one or both of the games. Or if you want to flip the script, the announcement of an NX port a month before the game's launch would completely throw the 3DS version under the bus (& unlike Zelda: BotW, both versions wouldn't come out at the same time).Seeing how each Pokemon spin off games are selling worse after each sequel I hardly think it will be one. If NX can be played on TV I think a real Pokemon game would sell gang busters on NX.
Pokemon Pearl & Diamond remastered
Pokémon is in a strange position right now as they just started a new generation. I wonder what a 2017 NX game would be.
Sounds good, but targeting smartphone gamers sound like a terrible mistake.
Nintendo targeting an audience that sits between smartphone gamers and the more hardcore users of PS4 and Xbox One.
Within 6 months? It should be AT launch.
If it's Holiday 2017, then a Gen 8 wouldn't be out of the question (assuming that they're working on Gen 8 right now alongside Gen 7). This would allow for the Diamond/Pearl remakes to be released around Holiday 2018.There are no rules with Game Freak anymore, they've broken every pattern except the mid gem platform jump at this point.
Six months is what I'd question, a mid gen jump I could understand because Nintendo needs to go all in on MX, but less then a year after Sun and Moon? Holiday 2017 seems like the natural point for a third version(s).
(I don't think remakes are coming anytime soon)
Would be a solid way to scare away every 3rdparty from releasing launch software for this thing.
How's that a mistake? Plus it said smartphone gamers and core gamers they're going for.Sounds good, but targeting smartphone gamers sound like a terrible mistake.
Graphics "between PS3 and PS4" (that's such a big gap that it's too vague to be sure what they mean by that) is disappointing at worst but we're used to it by now...
I'm expecting a new type of 3D Mario game on the NX, given the pattern of 2 games per new structure (Sunshine/64, Galaxy 1+2, 3D land + World) and Miyamoto's comments.
Game Freak may very well skip the sequel game altogether, as they've done with X/Y."Eclipse"
They can't cut Gen 7 short like that. Pokémon is a cross-media machine. They would have to cut the anime season short too. Ash needs to lose in the league first, y'know.If it's Holiday 2017, then a Gen 8 wouldn't be out of the question (assuming that they're working on Gen 8 right now alongside Gen 7).

Pokemon Eclipse for NX , or Sun and Moon 2 maybe? Would hit around a year after vanilla SM if true, so seems around the right time. I can't imagine them changing the engine to meet up with the NX specs for an expansion though. Sounds interesting...
Also consider that Alola isn't structured like the average Pokémon region (I.E. No Alolan Pokémon League), so Ash could get through the 4 Island Trails in a season depending on how well they pace the episodes.They can't cut Gen 7 short like that. Pokémon is a cross-media machine. They would have to cut the anime season short too. Ash needs to lose in the league first, y'know.
Pokémon would be the big surprise, considering that Sun/Moon are coming out this November.Nintendo is going to release their big franchises on NX? I am shocked!!!
