Perhaps the true NX are the friends we made along the way.
At this point even expecting it to launch in 2017 is pretty optimistic. I'd say either november 2017 or early 2018.
Until then, please enjoy more filler games from Nintendo. Do you have a favorite 3D franchise? Nintendo would be very happy to turn it into crappy 2D platform game for 3DS, bundled with amiibo. And more Mario Party.

And this is what scares me. They will delay this until 2017 holiday and Breath of The Wild right along with it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wii U version is already or near done. They are just sitting on it so they can release both versions at once.

This makes sense when you're releasing an expected revision once every year. Not so much when your new hardware is once every 5-6 years and you're coming off a historically bad release.

That's fine as long as we get a reveal.

My apologies, you're correct that the topic title is factually incorrect. I have put in a request to have it changed.
My apologies for the typo. It has been edited.

Assuming it actually releases in March, that is.
We shall see!

Yep. November 2017.

Something is wrong with that March release date i think. I don't think it's enough time.

Jesus Christ, people, you guys are getting way too worked up about this. Nintendo will announce the damn thing when it's ready to be announced, either they're waiting for the right time and/or they're getting a showcase ready to try and really blow people's socks off.
There is still plenty of time.

Isn't it the shortest reveal -> launch timeframe of any platform ever, or at least in the past 22 years?

Putting "NX", "officially", and "Nintendo" in the title was a cruel joke. At a glance, I thought there was actual news

Maybe the console is an even worse clusterfuck than Wii U, so they are taking all this time to figure out how to explain the damn thing.
Nah, they're pulling a Sega Saturn.
Most of the ads show up before that.

It's hilarious how everyday there's a new NX topic. 😂

True, I'm usually just there for the movie ads that tend to wait until the game.

The NX is a revolution in forum speculation that must never be revealed so as to prevent the competition from stealing their idea of never unveiling a product to drum up endless hype.

Kimishima: Every day there is a new NX thread on Neogaf, we delay the reveal two weeks.
Reggie: Those insatiable fucks deserve it.
Miyamoto: ~laughs~

For being "officially" we dont know really that much about it then that it so far still maybe exists.

Are people that bereft of games that they can't patiently wait for Nintendo to announce the thing?

Would Wii U (2011 E3 reveal, end of 2012 release) have been the longest time between reveal and release of a Nintendo platform? Given how much doom and gloom there was over it for so long before it even got to come out, Nintendo's secrecy over NX could be a direct reaction to that.
And even with Apple only announcing a new iPhone one week before release, everyone and their dog know that a new iPhone gets released every September. The release of a new iPhone is not exactly surprising.
We won't reveal it until we get 10 million likes on on Facebook or retweets with the hashtag #NoPlayLikeIt.
Nintendo should totally milk this.

Yeah, I panicked and scanned the frontpage thinking how the fuck I missed this
Basically, a company who has failed at messaging and communication in the past is failing again? They are losing their "spin" window if it is poorly received ala Xbone. IF they delay that compounds the good will. Plus the average gamer who doesn't live on msg boards.. may or may not even know it is a thing...maybe doesn;t think Nintendo has put a system out since the Wii... maybe they could have used a years worth of messaging to build hype..
unless what they have is hypedeath and they need to "no review copies until release day" it.

NX officially is the unannounced system with the most threads about it
All these nothing Nintendo topics about the NX that we're seeing almost daily makes it perfectly clear how Nintendo has been able to keep a specific niche of their fans addicted to them. Especially on the heels of the Metroid fervor (or like Mother, DQVII, etc). Keep teasing and giving them nothing to keep people riled up. Then reveal something that will be treated as a bigger deal than it actually is. Topics like this are an obvious symptom.
Thats some metal gear shit

They announced it though.
