I'm keeping my expectations low. I think the most we will get on NX is:

"It's coming along smoothly. More information will be shown/given at E3 2016"

Kimishima: "Before we begin, there will be no details about NX today or for the remainder of the year. Expect NX news to arrive at the beginning of FY 2017. Today, we plan to outline our plans for FY 2016 which will include new mobile offerings as well as the reveal of Wii U Mini."

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
I can't decide between shipment figures and sale figures. Decisions, decisions.

Getting close to 6 AM in Japan.

Wonder if there will be any tidbits in something like Nikkei previewing the earnings?

So the question remains if there will be anything NX related at that meeting? Wouldn't it be very weird if there is going to be nothing about NX?
Well they could talk about it, but at the same time not show anything substantially revealing, its, after all suppssed to be a surprise and an investor meeting is not the place to make many public announcements...
 
Goddamn it, I started watching Matthewmatosis' Mario series and now I'm ridiculously excited at the prospect of possibly seeing the new 3D Mario game at this E3. Nintendo has to say something at this, please god
 
Keep calm and carry on. Seriously guys...do not get overhyped.

Too late. I heard through the grapevine Kimishima is gonna launch three mobile games releasing at once, NX being the most powerful system, and the handheld successor releasing a year from now, all while juggling 6 peacocks.
 
WTF at poll results. I don't understand anyone not shaking with excitement about shipment and sales figures.

Wow, reading up on this, the Wii Mini dropped Internet connectivity to lower the cost, which means that the copy of Mario Kart Wii that came bundled couldn't go online. o_O

A LOT of people played it only as a local play party game. I did that with Mario Kart DS because my internet at the time was terrible.

They have to at least mention it if the device is release this year even if we don't get any real info.

They can just say "We have many excited things planned for later this year in the console and handheld space. Details will be revealed at a later time."

bahahahaha

What makes you guys so sure there will be NX info? Honestly i expect them to say "there will be more NX news at a later time."

If it's releasing this year then they should say so, and there's history of them unveiling the final name of their platforms at these things. And there's that quote Rosti repeatedly brought up, with Kimishima saying that they'd go into details about new businesses at the next meeting, and now Serkan Toto is saying that there'll be details of new stuff. What that stuff is, we'll see.

Keep calm and carry on. Seriously guys...do not get overhyped.

No worries I got hype insurance.

How about nintendo dropping the digitalAV output port from the $99 cube, so that beautifully crafted games could never be seen over anything better than composite?
 
When I read all the posts saying that they expect nothing or that their expectations are low so they don't get disappointed, I still imagine you guys getting disappointed anyway when no news is given.

I'm putting my money on this.
 
the only thing that i expect is them saying "more info at e3". but i really really hope they give a hard date to when we will hear more. if he just says "no nx info today" then i'm going to cry in a corner

I always wonder how posts like these exist, when every Nintendo pre-announcement thread is riddled with negativity and scepticism. The times of joy are long gone.

This tells me we're overdue for an upswing in the cycle.

An upswing... that starts tonight.

EDIT:
Everyone needs to be prepared for something like the following:
'We have not included NX in our forecasts for the following reason: Due to our reorganisation of development houses and the untimely passing of Mr. Iwata, development on NX has been slower than expected. With the success of Miitomo, we have decided to focus on mobile games to augment our 3DS and Wii U titles this holiday, and will have more news on NX in 2017.'

I know it seems impossible. But it's Nintendo. Prepare for the worst. (And that right there is the worst.)

Nobody is even overhyped + are we not allowed to be a little since we've had no info on NX for over a year?

Man I can count so many times how so many people used to overhype these types of meetings. I just take it as a meeting, because Directs exist.

That being said I do hope we learn something new here.

I don't really care about the NX. Let the Wii U have its moment of glory before kickstarting the 9th gen.

That ship has sailed. Then it hit bad weather, ran aground and leaked gallons of toxic bitterness into the ecosystem. The clean up operation starts tonight.

People just love to hear themselves talk and never come back for conversation.

Then they go into the results thread and say, "I told you guys to calm down" and never come back for conversation lol
 
What I expect:
-Next mobile game (WarioWare) or two (Some trash heap Mario game) announcement(s)
-NX coming this year, more details to follow at a later date, but we get sales projections and maybe an explanation of how it's different than the Wii U such that it actually sells
-Another media collaboration using Nintendo IP, like a movie or anime or whatever
-Thrilling mobile engagement numbers and amiibo sales

That's it. Have fun.

I went through the Fake NX controller thread yesterday. That thread was the best thing on this website. The tree, the reflection, the coffee stains. What a trip. I wish I was on Gaf when that happened.
