So what do you think it's going to be?

Wii U apology minutes

 

[Storm Kyleis]

What a ride.

 

[casiopao]

C'mon lol. For science.^_^

 

[Skittzo0413]

Was the nanomachine rumor vetted by anyone?

Link? I don't think this has been brought up yet...

 

[TheAmazingXemo]

Finally!

 

[PadWarrior]

It's happening :O. Didn't someone do a bet to eat a 3DS cartridge?

Yea he has 3 mins to finish it.

 

[AntiFacebook]

It's a boring, meaningless name. It's two letters. The can do way, way better.

Do they? with names like gameboy, gamecube,wii,and DS,i'm not so sure

 

[guek]

Guess I gotta eat my cartridge

 

[takriel]

Emily was right all along. Not only an announcement, but a reveal this week. Long live the queen!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Preview trailer sounds like a teaser trailer. It will probably be 2 minutes of Reggie talking then a 1 minute montage of smiling people using the NX with tiny glimpses of game footage ending with the date for the full reveal.

We'll see the console, the na,e, and BOTW. Enough for me for now until the full reveal.

 

[dottme]

I'm already waiting for all the video analyzing image per image the reveal video and all the crazy theory.

 

[TwistedFreeze]

Do they? with names like gameboy, gamecube,wii,and DS,i'm not so sure

What's wrong with those names? No worse off than Playstation or Xbox

 

[NateDrake]

Idk, call me cynical but tweeting that is more exposure for his Xbox image than to do with NX.

The 'Console Wars' are fought between the fans because fans are, well, dumb. The companies respect each other.

 

[sanstesy]

Do they? with names like gameboy, gamecube,wii,and DS,i'm not so sure

Wii was a genius name at the time and would still be if it wasn't tarnished by the Wii U name.

 

[TZchassis]

So hyped. Curious what can they fit in three minutes. I hope it ends with a game announcement.

 

[DecoReturns]

Do they? with names like gameboy, gamecube,wii,and DS,i'm not so sure

Gameboy was fine.
They did great with the Wii name in the beginning, those commerical "We would like to play" got peoples attention

The rest were also find

 

[HawthorneKitty]

cam't watch it live.
can anyone send me a link to the trailer or to a spoiler free thread?

I can PM you a Youtube link if you bookmark/keep the page on your inbox?

 

[ehead]

Now, I can finally post on something actually official. So many previous speculation/rumor threads, I felt were very terrifying - its like if you post in one of those threads you'll fall into an endless abyss of hype and disappointment.

Anyway, I'm glad I'll be able to watch it live, and right after work too! Can't wait to see new games announced for the system.

 

[Tanukid]

Excited! Hope the system name is on point. Please no Nintendo Pii or the Nintendo Poop in My Pants Home Console System.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Can't wait to see iwatas swan song. Been waiting to long for this.

 

[RaidenXZ]

How I picture the reveal to go tomorrow morning:

[Nostremitus]

Thank you Emily Rogers.

I guess it's safe to hype now.

 

[Neonep]

NX & RDR2 trailers in the morning. Oh, Gaf is going to be nuts!

 

[bunkitz]

Holy fuck. It's actually happening. Gonna be a long work day tomorrow...

 

[Maebe]

Oh man finally. I was a little frightened by what the wait was doing to people on gaming side.

 

[CharminUltra]

Thank you Emily Rogers.

I guess it's safe to hype now.

Just don't drink and hype.

 

[oreomunsta]

The 'Console Wars' are fought between the fans because fans are, well, dumb. The companies respect each other.

Even Kaz has mentioned having several Wii U's. Oddly enough, though, I don't ever remember hearing Iwata, Miyamoto, or Reggie talk nicely about other consoles... Only Aonuma to a certain extent >_>

So it's happening.

 

[vinnygambini]

 

[Mr. MondayNight]

Dem be fightin words boy

 

[Lernaean]

One more request from the gods mere hours before reveal.
Please don't be glossy.

 

[gnomed]

Don't let me down Brotendo.

 

[ggx2ac]

You're thinking of Yoshida.

 

[Lupin the Third]

Any reason no one's made new threads about that NX devkit glamour photo or the 4chan stats leak?

 

[CharminUltra]

So it's happening.

 

[Quonny]

4K HDR handheld with 512 GB internal storage that beams wirelessly to a TV and has a 12 hour battery life LETS GO

 

[Vinnk]

Wasn't going to get hyped.

The WiiU reveal really let me down so I don't want to be hurt again.

Then again the WiiU turned out great for me (off TV play, some of Nintendos best 1st part efforts..).

Whatever. HYPE!

 

[Kaako]

Alright Nintendo, time to show us the sexy stuff.

 

[AdanVC]

How are Nintendo shares right now??? Skyrocketing like Rockstar??

 

[Discomurf]

By 9am this thread will be moving at a record gaf pace ... crash imminent?

 

[Skittzo0413]

Any reason no one's made new threads about that NX devkit glamour photo or the 4chan stats leak?

The stats leak is fake (Tegra X2 isn't a real thing) and the devkit has been discussed at length in this thread. Just be patient and wait 9 hours before posting dozens of new NX threads.

 

[Faustek]

No. I'm just going to have faith that the long speculation nightmare is over. We'll all be able to move on with our lives.

You aren't even fooling yourself with that one.
But I do agree that the worst may be over but we'll still have way to many things of nothing. Reaction threads, rumours about exclusives, straight out lies and finally it'll be E3 and it'll all start over.

It feels so strange. 10 months of that over.

Stop talking and start eating.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I am going to buy some snacks and drinks for a 3-min video. lol

 

[Kickz]

Dayuuuum.. Its happening... Finally...

 

[Kobe24]

There's nothing wrong with my pants already being wet right?

 

[neptunes]

This is most probably ONLY a hardware reveal.

I don't expect to see any games at all.

This is going to be a sizzle reel at best.


Expect actors. Expect many Canberra settings around the console and controller. Expect it to highlight its feature gimmick.
Don't expect games, a price, 3rd parties etc.
Just the console. And actors faking fun.

So what do you think it's going to be?

If Nintendo was concious of their unique idea be stolen, I would think they'd want a longer, more intimate forum to reveal the hardware and its draw. Not in some 3 minute preview with no context or demo to explain.

I think it'll just be games, just to remind people there are still games on the horizon, despite this fall season.

 

[oreomunsta]

You're thinking of Yoshida.

You're right, my mistake

 

[Valhalla Rapids]

I just want it to be somewhat BC with my 3ds games.

 

[brandonh83]

So we know Nintendo, we've seen the alleged specs and we know that they're not chasing hardware power. Are people really still going to make a scene about that? It's like, no shit? I dunno at this point you'd think everyone would not expect it to be more spec-heavy than other things. It's simply a done deal.
