Support NeoGAF

[TheDinoman]

Explain Nintendo, explain!

JUST.....EX...PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN

 

[Oregano]

The sad thing about this thread is it means that even Nintendo development support has no clue about NX.

Get your shit together Nintendo.

 

[dealer-]

"Within this year" rather "this year" makes it sound like fiscal.

 

[Guevara]

"We look forward to talking more about NX in the new year. Have you seen Super Mario Run and Pokemon Go???"

Stock rises 10%.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

At least we won't be invading other Nintendo-related threads this time and start talking about NX when that thread was supposed to be about something unrelated with the upcoming console.

Next week people!! October 20th!! I can feel it!!

We said that at the beginning of September.

"Within this year" rather "this year" makes it sound like fiscal.

This is a major stretch.

 

[Kouriozan]

Bu-bu-but GAF said it had to be October otherwise it's getting delayed.

You meant September or the Eurogamer leak is fake and invalidate everything that was said x)

 

[georly]

I said it in the other thread, but the fact that we don't have any press murmurings of an event soon likely means that either the event is at least a couple weeks off or that it'll be a direct with press events afterwards.

I'm still counting on the reveal this year, but it's just bizarre why Nintendo can't say "hey, the reveal will be on this date." It doesn't hurt them to announce it that far off, does it? What do they gain by silence other than reading the amazing reddit posts?

Sega Saturn E3 '95 style announcement incoming

You do know that was only for the American release date, right? That the system had not only been shown off (for over a year) before, but it was already out in japan?

Whew at Nintendo keeping everyone on their toes. When will anyone else?

 

[Ladekabel]

Was there ever as much thirst for a console reveal than there is for the NX reveal?

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I wonder if there have been any issues with manufacturing.

More thank likey it is these two things:

- Nintendo aren't happy to show off games until they're ready for prime time
- Nintendo still is deciding how to get their messaging across during the initial reveal, and due to the Wii U's disastrous reveal they really want to make sure they don't want to repeat that mistake twice.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Welp it's gonna be a red Christmas

pretty sure this happens every reveal, this one is just lasting longer because nintendo is taking forever to reveal it.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Kimishima said it would happen later this year in April, was there any reason to think otherwise?

There never was. People creating things in their head to think some delay happened when nothing has been said by Nintendo.

 

[Father_Brain]

Well, two weeks from tomorrow, they'll have to say something about NX and the timeframe for a reveal (assuming it's not already revealed by then), even if it's a delay.

People are literally dying from this

Or at least getting themselves banned while complaining about SJWs

 

[Astorgh]

What if all this time they've been talking about Chinese year?

January reveal confirmed.

Spoiler

srsly hurry up Nintendo it's getting insane

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Whew at Nintendo keeping everyone on their toes. When will anyone else?

Taking a bit of a risk, considering the Wii U situation too, if this thing ends up being thought of as shit by a lot of gamers, the keeping folk on their toes stance isn't worth it.

Two points I'm more than happy for Nintendo to take their time with.

Yeah, most of the reports suggest that the hardware is fine, so I'm going to agree on this.

 

[Regiruler]

Sure it is.



Gotta be Fiscal. Calendar would be suicide at this point.

I don't think referring to the Fiscal calendar makes sense in this context.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Hopefully we'll get fewer NX speculation threads now.

 

[Obscuritas]

The year starting from tomorrow?

 

[Varjet]

Gotta wait for Space World.

 

[dealer-]

This is a major stretch.

I'm reaching dude. I need my morning coffee.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

This man knows nothing, he's just repeating the last known PR statement because that's all he can do. This means nothiiiiiiiiiiiing.

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Thinking.... "Final Name reveal, basic concept, look, and an announcement of a game this year."

Then a "please look forward to our January 5th, 2017 Nintendo NX Exclusive Direct Presentation!"

The latest they can reasonably wait is January.

 

[EDarkness]

Isn't this private information under NDA?

 

[Possumowner]

Hmmmmm hmmmmm hmmmmm Nintendo your playing us like fiddles,they know were feverish and I'm sure they're all laughing at us

Was there ever as much thirst for a console reveal than there is for the NX reveal?

It's always crazy, but this is the longest we've gone from "We're making a new system, please look forward to more information later" to reveal... ever? Not to mention the fact that Wii U only has one first party retail game left (ok, two if you count project giant robot). When PS4/XB1 were announced (before the reveal), PS3/360 still had a healthy library ahead of them.

So it's a perfect storm of radio silence and tumbleweeds that are causing the fervor.

Even if they're still trying to get the reveal *just* right, it'd be nice if they publicly acknowledged that information is on the way. No need to do specific date, but a timeframe would have been nice. Unless they worry they might not even get THAT right?

 

[LegendX48]

It will be revealed alongside the discovery that unicorns are real and living in modern times.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Gotta wait for Space World.

Didn't Space World happen in November?

 

[L Thammy]

Isn't this private information under NDA?

NDA
NOA
NOE

Coincidence!?

 

[jett]

This dude, whoever he is, is just repeating old information Nintendo has already provided. This isn't news, nor confirmation that the NX reveal will happen this year.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

It will be revealed alongside the discovery that unicorns are real and living in modern times.

I want one and will call it Bert

Yeah, I know..it was just a joke lol. But I wouldn't mind honestly if they did actually do that

 

[jmizzal]

We are gonna get information this month, no doubt about that, the investors meeting is on the 26th

 

[mocolostrocolos]

No news here. I dunno why this kind of threads are allowed.

 

[udivision]

This is official PR that everyone knows already.

 

[Übermatik]

WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE NEW NX THREAD ON NEOGAF

I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STA-Locked.

For those wondering why this is important, I just suppose it just gives us assurance contrary to the idea that NX is delayed... which up until now was a fair assumption to make.

 

[dampflokfreund]

Love how the Ganondorf avatar goes along with his delivery of the non news.

 

[-shadow-]

 

[Schnozberry]

Does anyone know if this was posted is September or May? The NOE part of this makes me wonder how the date format should be read.

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Hmmmmm hmmmmm hmmmmm Nintendo your playing us like fiddles,they know were feverish and I'm sure they're all laughing at us

Something something Nero. Something something Rome burning down.
