Support NeoGAF

[Ombala]

Going against PS4K?

 

[Jackano]

That makes sense. It seemed to be too quiet so far, even on the rumor front.

I had the feeling as well.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

So...E3 reveal or nah?

 

[Guymelef]

Lol, no holidays? Good luck.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

You're not required to launch a console in the holiday season.

They probably know how packed holiday will be this year... PSVR, Neo, XBOX 1.5 - circumstances for a launch of a new console could indeed be better.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Man, another year for Nintendo hardware to rot on the vine. I would hope that they're preparing the most unbelievable launch considering we're nearly a full year out and the lineups for Wii U and 3DS are both so desolate.

 

[VariantX]

Guess that gives developers a bit more time to get games ready for its launch than launching in the holiday season this year.

 

[dcelw540]

So...E3 reveal or nah?

For sure they will

 

[TheMagician]

But that's a whole nother year?!

 

[El_Chino]

You're not required to launch a console in the holiday season.

It's where all the money is though.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Zelda delay again or are they going to release it first on Wii U?

 

[ShooterMcTavish]

So that def means ps4k out this year, since amd said one console would be coming this year already

 

[Zojirushi]

And here we go...

Seems like an ok time to release a console. So what do they have for this holiday games wise?

 

[AdanVC]

Now even Trev's rumors got debunked with this. FML. Super dissapointed While Sony and MS will bring huge megatons such as VR, big exclusives and perhaps new hardware revisions this holiday, Nintendo will have what? Zelda and Pokémon Sun and Moon only? Hahaha. Good luck with that, Nintendo.

 

[El Odio]

A 2017 release makes me wonder what their holiday lineup is going to look like. Possibly WiiU Zelda with an NX version later when it launches though that would heavily screw over WiiU adopters and anyone expecting the NX port would just hold off.

 

[MLH]

My wallet is relieved, although we're all left wondering what the hell has Nintendo got for the 2016 Holiday season? Zelda U, with a later release on NX?

 

[takriel]

A 2017 launch was always extremely likely but anyone even suggesting it got buried with snarky posts from fans in the NX thread.

2016 was never real

Dat hindsight bias

 

[Fou-Lu]

I really, really expected it to come out this year.

 

[-MB-]

Safe to say it is a handheld, since they been releasing those around that time period for the last few gens.

 

[Rymuth]

Exciting. Looking forward to it.


This is going to be a legendary thread.

 

[8bit]

So...E3 reveal or nah?

E3 reveal seems likely. Few teases, then 6-9 months slowly building hype.

 

[ultrazilla]

No doubt in my mind it's to get their launch titles some extra time for dat polish.

I'm ok with this. Nintendo *SHOULD* be on track to debut the system at E3 where I expect it to be fully playable.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

It's where all the money is though.

If the games aren't ready, then you wait.

 

[Xord]

Wow. Didn't expect them to share that now.

 

[Mpl90]

Q1 2017 was the latest I was expecting the console to release anyway, but...where is John Harker. He was so convinced it would've been 2016, damn it.

 

[Peru]

It could be good to have some build-up to 2017 holiday season.

Man, another year for Nintendo hardware to rot on the vine. I would hope that they're preparing the most unbelievable launch considering we're nearly a full year out and the lineups for Wii U and 3DS are both so desolate.

There will be stuff revealed at e3 for holiday season, no doubt. They usually announce software closer to release than others.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Damn, that's a ways off. I wonder how they'll deal with the drought that seems to be coming for the rest of the year.

Could Zelda U actually be released this holiday season on Wii U? I sure hope so.

 

[Nanashrew]

March still feels like such an odd time. Is it a home console? Cause those usually come out in the holiday season.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Jesus, console in march. Not holiday period.

What is happening.

EDIT: OMG, it´s gonna use Polaris isn´t it?

 

[AniHawk]

That makes sense. It seemed to be too quiet so far, even on the rumor front.

methinks they ran into a lot of problems.

march 2017 says to me they would really, really prefer it in the next fiscal year but can't delay anymore. they're pushing it back as far as it will go.

this will also mean zelda is 2017 too, most likely. i doubt they put it on wii u. i think they're only expecting 800,000 units for the year.

 

[Wagram]

Nintendo fears VR.

Spoiler

/s

I'm very, very interested to see what they do with NX. I'm not very hopeful.

 

[Diggeh]

Wow, almost an entire year away? That's disappointing.

 

[BigTnaples]

Well there it is.


Now just hope it's actually good.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

30th Anniversary for Zelda

Can they delay it especially so blatantly for three months?

 

[Calvero]

Why do people think it's disappointing or whatever? Isn't it better that they aren't just rushing it out?

 

[HUELEN10]

It's where all the money is though.

But not all the games. Launch it in spring, have a killer holiday lineup and bundles...

It makes perfect sense.

 

[Chuck]

Nooooooooooo

I was wrong D:

 

[Kevinroc]

I'm just as surprised as anyone that they are missing the 2016 Holidays.

Still interested in the E3 reveal.

 

[KingBroly]

Zelda is 2017 now as well?

:X

 

[Fandangox]

So F-Zero then, right

 

[Aostia]

So...dead on arrival if it is a home console

 

[LewieP]

Gonna be a lean Christmas for Wii U and to a lesser extent 3DS.

I wonder if this means that Zelda is delayed til 2017 too?

 

[MK_768]

Dat hindsight bias

lol seriously.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

This is bad if they are gonna compete with the others. I expect PS4 price to cut to 299 and have a huge holiday sales.

 

[El_Chino]

If the games aren't ready, then you wait.

Then I fear for NX's launch.

I would love to know what full generational console released in the spring and had a successful launch?

 

[Bulbasaur]

That's shitty.

 

[Asd202]

Holy shit Huber won the bet against Bossman. 10 minute stand up here we come!

Also NX could be the "next" Wii U in terms of 3rd party support because Xbox Two and PS5 will come like 1-2 years after that.Will Xbox definitely sooner than later.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Dat hindsight bias

Go dig through my post history if you really feel like it, champ. People were shouting down anyone suggesting a 2017 date. You know first-hand how crazy those speculation threads get.

 

[nikatapi]

Since it's 2017, i'm hoping for a more powerful design. Being out later than PS4K (probably) and weaker could be very damaging i think.

 

[andrerobot]

NintendoGAF on suicide watch!
