Definitely curious. Wonder what will actually be revealed.
 
Maybe someone will have a problem on their date, will enter the bathroom, post on GAF from the NX, and then also play Breath of the Wild in the video.

Thoughts? Reggie cameo in the stall?


Boy this is my favorite thread ever.

All those people were so unbelievably wrong. I highly doubt NX can live up to the Wiimote. But, still, that thread is one for centuries.

I hope Nintendo shows the NX for a full minute on how the console/handheld looks like and it's features and the rest of the 2 minutes they show about the games for it

Well, you're pretty alone on that one though.

No, he's not. Most people who aren't interested left these threads ages ago. I myself took a hiatus of about a month and a half, came back for the imminent announcement.

A hybrid would be fine, but what's been discussed thus far in rumours doesn't interest me.

It's a handheld with a TV out, no amount of marketing will say otherwise when the hardware it'll be equipped with will back up that statement, unless its capabilities have been somehow undersold.

It sucks the video will only be 3 minutes, I bet the first 2 minutes and 30 seconds will be Nintendo people talking about their vision and then 30 seconds of the console with more details like pricing to be released at a later date.

fuck. your so right.

it will be a collage of classic Nintendo leading up to current Nintendo. Few slides of the NX, lots of Zelda and a hint at a new mario.
 
Hearing this news made me super happy. Whatever they show tomorrow, we will get at least some information. Nintendo fans will no longer have to wait in the dark. I'm excited.

I'm expecting a lot of footage of some dude playing Breath of the Wild in a lot of different locations.

At home.
At the park.
On the bus.
At a buddies house.
At work.
At a high end restaurant while on a date that isn't going very well.
On a PS4.

"Home gaming system". Let's see if it's really a hybrid.

Wait, only 3 minutes? What the... They really need to knock it out of the park with the reveal and I'm not sure if 3 minutes is enough time. Hopefully they announce the date of the full reveal in the video.
 
reading through these comments here... smh.

people thinking Nintendo gonna show everything. get with the times people.

Can imagine the tease will cause more questions than answers - pls be ready everyone

Definitely expecting some dumpster fires and banned users based on too much expectations

Hoping we all survive tomorrow.. its been fun riding the NX train with y'all

Mm I don't necessarily think this'll be a tease. Just a picture, a official name, and maybe footage of some games is really all my expectations are set at. Nintendo won't have come out of the closet with this unless they thought they were ready anyway.

God speed, hope you brought your floaties for this tanker, cause this Titanic is about to go up in GLORIOUS Flames.

3 minutes is a lot of time. I can see it showing several clips of gameplay footage with a big reveal in the final seconds along with an event date or something.
 
3 minute video of Reggie reading EuroGamer's article on it being a hybrid.
Right before the end

Black screen with a date of March XX, 2017.

Nintendo is doing a Beyonce release.
 
So what will they show exactly?

The name of the system? What the system actually does? Games?
Or will it be some 3 minute motivation/hype video about Nintendo systems and at the end with a release date/window for a full NX direct?

Three minutes isn't very long.
 
This reminds me of the Robin and Lucina reveal trailer.

New Fire Emblem is obviously going to happen, after the F-Zero announcement.

Obviously.

I think everyone should keep expectations very low here. You'll get a look at what the system looks like, and what it can do/what the gimmick is. I wouldn't expect software outside of Zelda, or some minigame thing. Three minutes is nothing.

Random-ass thought: Do you think that Project Giant Robo got moved to the NX because they wanted to make it a tech demo for whatever new input they go with?

I'm not sure this is a good strategy, showing just a teaser practically, but maybe it will be followed up by more info. Also, again, what's up with tweeting in the middle of the night in Europe? And right on the edge of the presidential debate? Seems like the worst time possible.
 
People complaining about the 3 minutes? It's just a preview and Emily said we're getting news this week AND next week. Yes, the investors meeting is next week, but they could also do the full reveal next week.

A GameBoy, a phone, and an internet communicator

A GameBoy, a phone

Are you getting it

Awesome reference is awesome.

Anyhow, as someone who bought every single piece of hardware the house of Kyoto ever put on the market from the Game&Watch gen onwards (Virtual Boy? Check. Game Boy Player for GC? Have 2 of them) I know I will order whatever they show today even if they they tell me is a €299 toaster that burns Yoshi's face on my morning bread).

Sorry but other than Zelda in HD, that E3 2011 WiiU reveal video was catastrophically bad. First impressions are everything.

Yeah, well I admit there must've been something done wrong when even big time video game enthusiasts weren't sure what that video was supposed to sell.

But I always wondered how can people not understand it. From what I remember it was clear as day that we were going to watch a video about their new console. Like, Reggie literally said it was "the controller for Wii U" when they first showed the picture of the controller. And before that they said Wii U is their new system.

I could maybe understand if it's about people who only saw that trailer and not the conference, but even people who saw the conference were confused.



And that Zelda HD video did nothing to me. What was in that Zelda video that actually showed that hey this is a good game? All it did was Link bumping into a monster and fighting it (and showing some inventory possibilities with the Gamepad). Yeah, it was shiny and all, but that doesn't make anything good in itself.

The Wii U trailer however showed many concrete things that you can do with the system. Many concrete things you could be able to play.



But yeah, there must've been something wrong with the presentation, I admit. And the name was clearly a mistake too, even though it didn't confuse me either. But I remember my sister wondering why I got that as a Christmas present from my girlfriend as "didn't you already have a Wii" :/

Oh well, I'm glad I'm not working for Nintendo because I couldn't see the problem either and somebody should've :D
