He's holding on to the NX powerhouse dream and is hoping for a delat to make it as powerful as Scorpio.
This reveal is going to result in glorious meltdowns.

Is this a hint???
Did you read the comment he was replying to? Anything as a reply but a "Haha" wouldn't be appropriate.
Ich will da sein wo es passiert!
What Nintendo thinks the average customer is doing.
-Ignoring XBox,PC, PS4,VR, Ignoring their daily expenses, playing Mario Kart 8 everyday for months on end. Watching each Nintendo direct, staying up to date on social media. Showing excitement about Paper Mario Color Splash and the new lineup for 3DS. In their minds feeling the bright future for both the 3DS and Wii U.
What customers are really doing.
-Nintendo? Those the onez that make that nintendo 26400 Segar Geniside? My kids want that Call Duty, I went to store, they say I have to wait 1 whole month longer. I don't see why they make us do all this running when they already put the thing on sale. Now they asking for this thing called Player VR Stationbox something or other. You put on the helmet to watch TV. I don't know what that f** it is but all 6 a my kids birday coming up. They want them new phones, already broken like 20 them dam things.

September is all 3DS for Nintendo
October - Sony and Microsoft have the month locked up tight with huge AAA 3rd party software releases, bundles and hardware refreshes. Nintendo has Color Splash...
November - Is pretty much the same as October and Nintendo themselves have the NES Mini, several unreleased amiibo*, Pokemon Sun & Moon and several bundles to keep them busy.
December - Nintendo is Super Mario Run, Mario Maker 3DS and the Zelda 30th Anniversary amiibo.
*speculation
(totally forgot about the PSVR)

I don't think so. The grand majority made their peace with a Tegra X-equivalent.
Well yes, the xXxSuperMarioWiiUFanxXxs and UltraSuperHappyNintendoFanGirls who believed that surely 5th time is the charm and that Nintendo will definitely go with sheer hardware power as their sellingpoint this time based on absolutely nothing will say that the company is dead or whatever.
But who cares about those.

There is something going on every single month for the next 5 years.
Nintendo has their own schedule and timeframe and isn't going to deviate from it because of the inevitability of other stuff going on.
This is a system showing, not a system release date being speculated.

LOL there not releasing in OCT dont get your point.
I'm confused still about complains or concerns that the 720 screen will look bad as a HH. Has anyone yet determined if having the screen as close to your face as it would be for a handheld vs. for a big screen would mean 720p at that distance is the same as 1080 or more at a greater distance?

Too many things in the month taking focus off of them. That was my point. December is a bit easier in that respect.

Power gets 3rd parties. So it's not about power, it's about games.
I'd take a port of the 360 version of Dead Rising 1 on NX

And then the twist is October is the reveal of Mother 3 for VC.

I heard 720p will actually look great on a smaller screen.
Really lol. Its like saying Sony shouldn't revel PS4 PRO this month due to iPhone 7.

It will be an 8 hour long showcase of the new Galaxy themed 3DS.
I pray that Capcom release the remaster version on NX, would be a dream come true!

I'm thinking the Classic.

We already went over that.
Power's increasingly losing ground to convenience. At some point, probably very soon, it won't be worth making AAA games anymore.
I did have a thought about that briefly however, it was hard to argue it because it has just as much chances of being true as AMD having NX for one of the Semi-custom design wins.
You are right that whatever Tegra powers NX would probably not be a customised variant but an original design due to the fact being that Tegra isn't a successful product line for Nvidia.
It still raises as many questions as if it were to run on a variant of Parker being those for what you said including what CPUs it would use.

Unlike Nintendo, Sony and its new hardware release date is already set in stone.
Maybe the week after the release of the Nintendo Classic (Nov. 11), and Pokemon Sun/Moon (Nov. 18th) all the focus will die down and NX will be a thing to care about.
Look at the twitter account mate.

In was Nintendo of Americo reloaded, basically.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
1. PSVR "launch hype" won't mean hardly anything. Saving the direct for 2 weeks after PSVR launches would be clear enough away.
2. The Animal Crossing Direct should have little to no effect on this. They could do them the day after and people wouldn't care.
Interesting how you found out about that tweet within seconds of it being posted, especially if you consider that account never tweeted before, has no followers/following, and was just created.
I have a twitter search feed running
Oh okay. Sorry for being paranoid.
So nx. Reboot you say.
Does Nintendo have its own mark Cerny? Do we have any info about lead architect? Did past Nintendo console/hardware have a main person behind the architect?
I know that Wii U had a hardware producer who was behind the systems philosophy and Nintendo land ( that guy was animal crossing creator katsuya Eguchi) and we know that the hardware producer for the NX is no other than
Yoshiaki Koizumi, the director of Mario Galaxy. Will be interesting to see what his hardware philosophy will be with NX

This word doesn't mean anything without it being defined by the person who used it.
Should go back to love hotels and help boost Japan's low birth rates, to be quite honest family.
I laughed.
I think we're looking at that comment all wrong. It means we're returning to the GameCube era.

I don't think it's intended to be a handheld. At that screensize plus a few inches for the controls on each side it's not going to be something anyone is carrying with them or playing on the go.
Anyone expecting a 3DS successor is going to be disappointed.
It's a home portable. More something you play lounging around in bed, or can easily carry from room to room to be used anywhere. Or carried to someone house. Not for regular use on the go, it's completely impractical for that. I'd say it's better thought of as an ultra portable console with an integrated screen, not a handheld gaming device for play anywhere anytime.
IDK, I'm honestly not putting a N3DS in my pocket either. It's bulky. However, if I'm carrying a backpack or something I do take it with me. Or make my wife carry it in her purse >
If it's 6-7" I still think it would be just as viable as a true portable as the 3DS, however without the clamshell it might be a little less resilient to being dropped or something.

As a reminder, we also have the Nintendo Rep conference starting in a week, which is usually focused on the most important launches of the next 12 months, specifically in regards to messaging, marketing campaigns, and retailer cooperation within North America.
I don't think there's necessarily any guarantee that we'll get a full reveal by the end of next week, but between these two events (EDIT: If this retailer meeting is real and ends up having literally anything to do with NX, which is a bit of a long shot in my mind) I think there's a good chance of somebody slipping up at the very least, though I wouldn't put any money down on it.
And if Emily Rogers thinks there's a 0% chance of a reveal this week, then I'm personally pretty willing to agree with her. No reveal this week also makes me want to step back a bit on the rep conference angle, because I always found a reveal the week of to be less likely than a reveal the week before.
