A big lawl to the dude's reply tho. Poor Shu.

Yeah, I'd be very surprised by NNK2, but I was talking asking the general meaning of the term (since it's apparently so inherently clear and unambiguous

Nier was full exclusive though
Is this some sort of meme that I missed?

He is head of WWS, not third party relations.
Oh god. No promises man.
This whole "Exclusive Context" deal reminds me of the Starbucks fiasco. Everyone is getting uppity about things that might confuse other people. Either way, don't assume things just because the possibility is there. It's not healthy.
Why are Japanese devs usually so vague about this stuff? I mean, sure don't mention it at a platform holders conference but they seem to rarely say anything concrete on their full release plans until the game is near release on other platforms ala DQH.
Usually with western devs you only need a press release for everything to become crystal clear, and I'm sure their transparency in that regard is a reason why Western devs are dominating the AAA industry. They spent the last generation fostering an audience on every platform and many demographics and now they're at the forefront of the industry in terms of sales and mindshare, Japanese AAA devs seems to have isolated themselves from a wider market for some reason.

okay to be super serious, if the nx is a handheld as well as a console it makes sense. level-5 has had a lot of success on nintendo platforms, and ni no kuni did better on the ds than the ps3 in japan by about triple the amount.
edit: i had thought that ni no kuni 2 was announced as a ps4 exclusive though. that would mean that it's straight-up ps4 only, which would also make sense considering how well the first game did worldwide.
This and FFVII.
Obviously there will be a NX version - they wont miss out on a huge userbase for their domestic market. Unless the NX portable bombs in Japan, but this is very unlikely.
If it werent for Horii already teasing NX versions of DQX and DQXI it might have been more mysterious until the platform unveiling but the last couple announcements suggest to me that Japan is gearing up for the PS4/NX future.

i think the potential of nintendo's handheld strength playing in the console realm is going to throw pretty much everyone for a loop if the nx is actually one library across multiple form factors. i don't mean it's going to be a super mega success, just that people who have ignored handhelds might be surprised at the level of support nintendo's 'console' might get.

Stuff like this, for titles that would fall flat on their arses on Xbox, gives me hope that Nintendo have made a proper, comparably powerful, modern designed and third party friendly, non hindering gimmick focused 8th gen console in the NX.
Gods I hope they don't fuck things up!
Twitter guy is a moron though. Really hope he follows through with his threat, then has to buy himself another one.

So one guy doesn't understand it or is purposing being obtuse and the whole of GAF has a problem? No the good thing about GAF, is that users that continually act like that usually don't last long here, other places are a free for all

To be clear, Shu isn't saying NNK2 is under the "console debut" umbrella, he's just clarifying what the term means. He explains that he isn't the right person to ask about the actual arrangement.

To be honest, regardless of what has been said, it wouldn't surprise me if this sees a release on Nintendo's next handheld (like the original NNK) but worldwide, or it may release on the NX like DQ12. I think either of those are a safe bet.
it's weird because microsoft really gave it the ol' college try with the 360, even to the point where a fairly popular franchise (the science adventure series) started on the 360 in japan. the xbox one/ps4 split seems way more in favor of the ps4 when it comes to japanese stuff this time around, even if it was kinda/sorta lopsided in the previous generation. i guess that's basically the result of what happened in 2010-2013 or so once all the rpgs started to show up on the ps3 with some regularity.

I don't think that makes it a "better audience." It's possibly a much better audience for their own domestic audience. Beyond that, I doubt it's going to be a "better audience" worldwide.

You can easily find that kind of posters here on neogaf as well, in fact.
People are taking this console warz too seriously.

The poster makes variations of the same joke every time theres a port thread no matter how likely. Its his meme at this point but its not funny or anything, just eh.

I wish Shu would communicate with me instead of dumb fucks talking about breaking their console because certain games aren't exclusive forever.

Good news all round, hopefully means games ain't been held back with simultaneous releases but also Nintendo getting good 3rd party support for their home console
hard to say. nintendo's also built up a pretty solid rpg audience in the west on the 3ds. it might be a thing where it does better in japan than us on nx, but better in us than japan on ps4.
that's more of a discussion for other titles though. i don't think ni no kuni 2 was revealed to have a console exclusive debut, just that it was console exclusive. i even wrote it down in my creepy notebook.

Conversely, anyone that is aware of how handhelds are quietly doing, should also temper their expectations for those sales continuing.
Mobile dominates that market completely, and does so more and more each year. No matter what happens the NX handheld would need a miracle to match even the 3DS's sales worldwide.
i was talking more about support rather than sales. but you're right, dedicated hardware is on the decline.
LMFAO! What the fuck is up with all these people proclaiming shit is going to get released on NX before we even know what the system even is? Slow your damn roll people. At least wait till the damn thing is actually announced. It's like they think the more obnoxious their comments are the more likely it is to happen or something. This snide closest NX port begging needs to stop. For real.
Something like that would probably be clarified in a press release.
His entire post history is "NX this" and "NX that". I wouldn't take him seriously.

It happens every time a new Nintendo console is on the horizon. There's this great big hope that it'll get every desirable title so people don't have to buy anything outside of Nintendo's ecosystem. Not that I blame people for wishing they didn't have to buy multiple consoles, but it can get pretty annoying, yes. I think there are some posters saying it in jest to make fun of this sentiment, however.
