OMG OMG OMG. I cannot wait.

 

[sinxtanx]

basically a full year of speculation running on empty comes to an end in an hour

THANK FUCK

 

[burst]

I can't be hyped for this. Preparing to be disappointed.

 

[Illucio]

It would be so much more believable without the "g"

Robinroot is adorable! At the same time, I'm not ready to call this 100% fake.

Robinroot is more adorable.

But I'm more of a fan of: RobinHoot

[Frank Jaeger]

FML, I have a 60min meeting starting in 1/2 hour!

 

[Herb Alpert]

How boy how long and painful was the road. But destination is in sight and yet we're still not ready.

 

[Charcoal]

I'm still holding out hope for an NX version of the vitality sensor!

 

[Admiral Alliteration]

Man, I really miss all the hype train pics …

Regardless, I still can't believe that we'll finally witness the NX's reveal. I mean, it's been one and a half YEARS since they announced that thing and we still know next to nothing. It's crazy.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

One more hour until we find out if Nintendo will go 3rd party in the future.

A leak by an ex-Nintendo employee about the NX
http://screencast.com/t/L2ZdqjqQ

You think there's any truth to this?

Not that I think this is true but my newest dream is having Robingroot in Smash.

The game has been lacking a grass initial and he is so fresh and fitting.


Come on Sakurai!

 

[Interfectum]

I can't be hyped for this. Preparing to be disappointed.

90% chance there will be massive disappointment. I'm praying to the video game gods I'm wrong and Nintendo pulls off a winner.

 

[Tsunamo]

Bracing for GAF meltdowns in 60 minutes.

Good point but it feels a bit left field even with the 3DS game Project X Zone, time will tell but there's no doubt the NX is getting Smash.

Yeah thats going to be a given for sure.

It's nice to actually have a real countdown now, not like those fake countdowns in the other thread

Too bad there's no proper link for it to countdown with like the directs

 

[disappeared]

So where are we supposed to watch this?

CNN's live streaming it.

 

[Suburban Thug]

Hype levels rising!

 

[Iriscomeback]

GAF is going to crash isn't it.

 

[purseowner]

So where are we supposed to watch this?

Nintendo's site and hopefully Youtube. It's a damn shame this isn't being livestreamed. I want to be able to click on a video without having the thing spoiled for me.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

So where are we supposed to watch this?

Nintendo.com

 

[MicroByter]

I really hope we'll finally get to see the Vitality Sensor in action now.

 

[GWX]

How the hell am I supposed to concentrate at work with this going down in less than one hour? Slowest hour in life, I'm sure of it.

 

[Dark Cloud]

My heart is beating so fast lol

 

[Skittzo0413]

It's been a fun year of silence and frustration with you all, I can't believe the wait is nearly over.

I'm... gonna miss it?

Nah.

 

[Scrawnton]

Nintendo's site and hopefully Youtube. It's a damn shame this isn't being livestreamed. I want to be able to click on a video without having the thing spoiled for me.

It's three minutes...

Please don't be a stupid name. Please don't be a stupid name. Please don't be a stupid name.

Take a good long shit.

 

[Plum]

7 hours is the shortest time I've ever had to wait between the announcement of a reveal and the reveal itself. Can't believe it was for this.

Well, less than one hour to go now, lads. It's been great sharing this journey with you but soon it will finally be over. The age of NX is upon us.

 

[The Elite]

I really hope we'll finally get to see the Vitality Sensor in action now.

My heart is beating so fast lol

Hmm. Might come in handy.

 

[786110]

GAF is going to crash isn't it.

It might, personally more afraid of Nintendo.com crashing

 

[Soren01]

I miss Iwata.

 

[Hoo-doo]

basically a full year of speculation running on empty comes to an end in an hour

THANK FUCK

You're delusional if you think this 3 minute sneak peek will end anything.

We'll likely get a short concept video that's scarce on details with a reveal date that's months off, and the entire cycle will begin anew.

Nothing earth shattering:

TOKYO—For Nintendo Co., the success of its next videogame platform depends on how well it can communicate with consumers who mostly turned their backs on the last big introduction of its hardware.

The Kyoto-based company said Thursday it would show a short video clip about the new product, code-named “NX,” at 10 a.m. New York time. It is the first chance for fans and investors to get the details of a product about which Nintendo has remained largely silent after briefly mentioning it in March 2015.

The new hardware is set to go on sale in March 2017, the company has said. Analysts say if it disappoints, pressure would rise on Nintendo to focus on making games for rival platforms rather than sinking money into consoles that might fail and take years to develop.

“Another flop in launching new hardware should be a sign that Nintendo is better off providing its rich game title franchises to smartphones, Sony and Microsoft,” said Serkan Toto, a Tokyo-based game consultant.

Poor communication with consumers doomed Nintendo’s last console rollout, the 2012 launch of the Wii U machine, analysts say. The Wii U allowed children playing games on a TV set to continue playing on a hand-held game pad if their parents wanted to watch television. The idea was to allow families to stay in the living room together. But many users took the machine as a minor upgrade of Wii, the blockbuster console that many Nintendo fans already owned.

The Wii U’s sales were just 13 million units as of June

...

Nintendo has said it is aware that poor communication was one cause of the Wii U’s failure.

Nah.

Mutual desperation does breed a unique comradery. I'll miss it a little.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

If it has any stupid gimmicks or a wii like waving controller, I'm out.

 

[Kiddy Dong]

Of course the only work meeting I have this week is at 9am. FML

 

[thatJohann]

Have they confirmed they're showing hardware?

 

[Sheroking]

It might, personally more afraid of Nintendo.com crashing

There's frankly no way in hell the trailer isn't already uploaded on YouTube, scheduled to go public at 10 EDT.

So you're safe there.

 

[DonShula]

It's been a fun year of silence and frustration with you all, I can't believe the wait is nearly over.

Nah.

You have severely underestimated our ability to spin off additional frustration. We're still on the appetizer portion of the meal. March is 4+ months away.

 

[BKSmash]

If it has any stupid gimmicks or a wii like waving controller, I'm out.

Don't forget to shut the door on your way out, mate!

 

[Kinsei]

If it has any stupid gimmicks or a wii like waving controller, I'm out.

Do you consider a hybrid system to be a stupid gimmick?

 

[GinoFelino]

I've never been more goddamn done with the leadup to a console release.

One more hour.

Thank fuck.

 

[Via Purifico]

One hour to go let's do this GAF

 

[xZoneHunter]

If it has any stupid gimmicks or a wii like waving controller, I'm out.

But don't wii love those gimmicks? You know there is bound to be something.

 

[Steiner]

Have they confirmed they're showing hardware?

A "peek."

It really does seem like they won't do another Wii U reveal with this one. Nintendo isn't stupid, they know that a lot of that console's failure came from that initial confusion.

 

[Tsunamo]

Same. Gamestop is strict about opening preorders for systems though, right? Can't preorder without a date and price?

That's quite funny seeing as how their Australian branch of EBGames opened it up for pre-ordered the moment the NX name was revealed. (they have a habit of putting stuff up for pre-order the moment it gets announced though)

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Robingroot? LOL

Robin(hood) + Groot (guardian of galaxy guy)

Yeah no.

I think someone once correctly guessed a Pokemon names in the past. It was localised named for ジグザグマ, Zigzagoon. Given all the non-Chinese versions start off Zigzag and it is a Racoon I can see why it is possible.

Edit: wow not only was I bottom of the page but when I hit reply it took me to the next page. Not even you to get to see your post Probably best that way.

If you read my post it says "speculation running on empty" which it won't after today. After today, we'll have true details from the big horse himself to extrapolate from.

Is everyone ready for GAF to break-down?

 

[disappeared]

Of course the only work meeting I have this week is at 9am. FML

Cancel it.
