Nintendo's 2015 Fiscal Year Earnings Release/News Conference

What exactly are they gonna do for E3 this year? Just...not show any NX games? NX is launching before the next E3...man I am confused at what they're trying to do here.

I guess they really just aren't ready yet.
 
To me it seems Nintendo is taking a total reboot for their next system.
They want to be ready when they are ready. Wii U was such a rushed product.

I'm disappointed too by 2017 (NX and Zelda), but it will probably be for the better.

I'm really worried about what this might mean for Nintendo. People won't make a $300-$400 console purchase in March if they bought a PS4.5/XB1.5 in December.

Now if those .5 consoles launch next Spring (which kind of makes sense seeing as Sony might want to push PSVR this December, not sure about MS) then it'll be the exact same situation.

It all depends on what the new concept is. If it's something unique, easily understandable (so not just another touch-screen controller) and beneficial then I can see it doing well, a USP like that would be better than just "improved graphics"

Bring on E3!

EDIT: OH FOR GODS SAKE WHAT?

....wait does that mean The NX itself won't physically be at E3 or that NX won't have any info revealed DURING E3.

Because those ARE two different things.

This is true, but if this really is a "new concept", revealing the system and not letting anyone get close to it OR the games that would be played on it seems pretty baffling.
 
Gawd damn it! The hope of seeing NX at E3 was like the only thing keeping the hype going. They can't keep stringing us along they need to reveal something so we even have a clue of what it is. >_<

F**k Zelda being E3 focus if thats just delayed too, that doesn't make sense.

Or that the handheld is launching first.


Remember that Iwata himself shot down the single-device hybrid idea before he died.

Wouldn't be the first time he's lied. I can't see a console launching in March, and I can't see Wii U lasting until Holiday 2017. A handheld that connects to a TV and replaces both the handheld and the console is the most logical conclusion until proven otherwise.

NX WON'T BE AT E3 WHAT THE FUCK!?!?

This... This couldn't be any more of a disappointment. Nintendo have completely lost their minds confirmed. I'm out.

Wii U came out too late; not too early. It should have come out 2011 or 2010.

No NX at E3....what the fuck am I reading. Why? Are we just going to pretend like Zelda isn't getting an NX port when it so clearly is? Why? E3 is less than a year away from the console's launch.

This feels bad. I'm getting significant development problems vibes here. This just isn't logical otherwise.

Here's the deal.. they're skipping the biggest gaming event to promote the platform..
Wonder how they'll handle all this.

To be fair, Sony and Microsoft did not reveal PS4 and XBO at E3. I do understand the idea, however, that skipping E3 may hurt the company (since there's no E3 between E3 2016 and March 2017).

I assume Nintendo will hold their own conference like Sony/Microsoft, but beyond that, I don't know.

No NX at E3 ? What the hell are you thinking Nintendo ?

Don't you remember that nobody understood your Wii U presentation and now, you don't even show up with your new hardware at the most important gaming show of the year, seriously ?

So…

- NX for march 2017.
- Zelda WiiU and NX for 2017.
- and No NX news at E3 2017.

My hype for this year's E3 is halfway dead right now. :(

So Investors are happy because the console wouldn't be released in 2016.


It also means that we can wait for almost a year, are we really getting some info at E3? Still question this, maybe next year at GDC.

Maybe they better skip to the next gen, because this means we have a new gen 3y/4y later. Isn't it the same story with wiiu?

In the end NX did indeed get confirmed for this fiscal year. Not as early as I wanted but not as late as I feared in the worst case.

E3 2016....I have no idea what to expect. Sucks because I'm on Zelda blackout, so it looks like there could be nothing for me.

Haha I saw your edit pop up in real time that was great!
 
I understand everyone who feels like it's better for Nintendo to delay the system to March if it isn't ready for the Holiday, but if that is the case then that is a massive failure for them. Console manufacturers (including Nintendo) have been getting consoles out in the fall reliably for the past two decades. If they couldn't plan or develop well enough to get that done with NX, then that's a black eye for them.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo zelda why :'(

I think people might be overlooking the possibility that Nintendo plans on releasing info on the NX in a series of presentations throughout late this year, after E3.

The way i see it, if Sony and Microsoft plan on revealing their consoles at E3, Nintendo can avoid having to compete with them for attention, and instead create hype with separate competition free presentations.
 
So...NOA twitter is teasing the NX release date of March 2017...odd.

But...NX won't be at E3...so...ok...

Maybe we get lucky and NX gets a reveal before E3?

Nintendo CEO: NX won't simply replace 3DS and WiiU"

WHAT IS GOING ON

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
^Wii U to be the very best-supported unsuccessful console OF ALL-TIME, that no one ever was.

Still, I think Paper Mario is the big holiday game for Wii U.

The reason Zelda is delayed is because they want to release both versions together and they cant reléase the NX version without the console being out
