Nintendo could literally release the Wii U in a new box and still be fine financially for years to come

Or do we think Nintendo will stop making software that's "appealing to everyone" and will instead make software that appeals only to core gamers? (Serious question: will this leave them with anything besides the stuff that consistently failed them in the N64/GameCube/3DS/Wii U eras?)

Looking at recent sales figures, software aimed at core gamers and software that's appealing to everyone are one and the same. Besides, they're not mutually exclusive, are they? Nintendo can continue making stuff that "appeals to everyone" while also making calculated plays for the mainstream gaming audience.

As for the N64 and Gamecube, those platforms had way more problems than Nintendo's output (moreso the N64). I'd even say that the N64's core output is what kept the system from crashing down to GC numbers despite the entire Japanese industry jumping ship to PS at a time when the mindshare of Japanese software dominated everything else.

Amending my earlier post:

Tomorrow 3 AM EST/7:15 AM GMT/4:15 PM JST: fiscal results & this press conference
Tomorrow 9 PM EST/1 AM GMT/10 AM (Thursday) JST: investor briefing
Anytime in that window: press release re: NX w/ at least minor details

So we may still get more info beyond what is revealed at the press conference.

Example of press release I'm referring to:

And--based on what Rosti said, perhaps the earnings will come out a bit sooner.
 
Eh, he just hasn´t heard about NX stuff for the briefing. Hasn´t heard that there will be no news. NOBODY actually knows other than Nintendo.

Stay hyped.

I'm not even expecting an official name for NX through this days. The least I expect is the classic "We will talk more about NX at E3. Please buy Star Fox Zero"

If they were gonna say they will talk more about NX at E3 they would have said it in the last annual meeting.
 
Number 1 is Xenoblade Chronicles X sequel announced

A new Metroid announcement would also be great.

I also want NX to allow for the same games to be played between console and handheld. I plan to buy both regardless.

Metroid seems likely, given the interval since DKC Tropical Freeze came out, and Nintendo's willingness to discuss a more traditional Metroid at last year's E3.

It takes Monolith 5 years to make a game, so even if they were to make a sequel to X, it would be a couple years before we heard anything.
