I somehow hope this is bullshit. Otherwise there's basically nothing after Uncharted for me until NX drops. 2016 is easily the worst year for video games I can think of.
(I finally got done catching up on all the news so far and...wow!)

I really doubt the money spent on E3 has any significant bearing on their profits."Big" doesn't matter to Kimishima. If it did, they'd have just done it at E3 where they'd get the most for their money. It's going to be a Nintendo Direct in September or October for sure to cut costs. Kimishima is focused on improving profit margins above all else, and I won't be surprised if they never put a focus on E3 while he's in charge.
This is insane. Why, just why, would Nintendo choose to not reveal anything about the NX at E3 when its release date is in March next year? E3! The biggest gaming conference ever where they used to be legends at!
Are they really just going to save it for one big Nintendo Direct?
I...I don't even know what else to say at this. I'm practically flabbergasted at these decisions they've been making.
My goodness Nintendo, what's going on here?
YUSSS
wii u christmas 2015 purchase redeemed!!!!
The have been ever since october 2015.
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.
The issue with that is, what do they do for another year and a half?
.....I am probably missing something., but with Zelda out of the way, what are the Wii U title for the rest of this year... ?
now give me the news that the nx is backwards compatible with the wii u and i'm selling mine immediately later today.
Hell if I know. But rushing your next flagship console to market in March without it getting optimal press/marketing cycles and with a potentially lacking lineup is perhaps worse than just laying dormant and coasting on Wii-U for another year.
But yeah, they are boned either way.

Now Sony. Make your move at the E3. Release NEO this holiday season and crush it... And delay the Last Guardian to keep the tradition.
Not at E3 but launching in March? DOA unless it's a phone.

For 1st party shit there'sTokyo Mirage Theory and Color Splash are the only big ones. But we've heard nothing new about Pikmin 4 and Project Giant Robot.I am probably missing something., but with Zelda out of the way, what are the Wii U title for the rest of this year... ?
doesn't this new info basically invalidate all those rumors of the last few days?nobody said anything about a 2017 release
Yes. This means E3 will be a focus for games (as it should be) and not hardware. With MS rumored to have new hardware out next year as well (just because their hardware refresh seems to be coming in spring/April 2017), that leaves Sony (according to rumors) coming out with new hardware this year.
E3 will be very interesting indeed. I am excited.
Can't wait to see more Zelda! I need Zelda in my life.
For all of those saying E3 is becoming irrelevant, just to remind you that over 21 million people tuned in to watch what was happening throughout the week of E3 2015, and that's just on Twitch.
Let's stop pretending it's okay for a company who needs their next console to be a massive success to completely skip E3 this year. It's not.
Bought a WiiU thinking we'd get a new Metroid... a new 3D Mario (a mario 64/galaxy continuation not 3D world) and a new Zelda.
We might get one of those things but only as it's available for the next console. What a fucking mess.
It's been said a billion times... and i'm going to say it too...
I REALLY wish Nintendo would just shut down the hardware and concentrate on making awesome games for PC/Xbox/PS. Imagine 1080p 60fps 3D Mario or Metroid on PC!!! Evolve Nintendo.

Wii U was revealed to much confusion that continued throughout most of it's life cycle. If they just release their next console with little to no information there leaves little opportunity for confusion. It's a solid plan.

Your point? If they do a NX event it'll be covered the same without sharing time with the other companies.

Anybody else feel like Nintendo planned to launch this holiday, but changed this after news of the PS4K and the Xbox1.5 surfaced? I think they were probably set on a holiday 2016 release, but then realized they would end up being the under-powered console yet again if they beat the PS4K and Xbox1.5 to market. I think they will wait until they have more concrete info on their competitors before we get full NX specs.
