People here want NX news so badly that they will hype anything, they will hype it out if Reggie announcing he will take a poop this evening and people thinking that it's NX related

I mean most people in this thread know very well that we will not get any infos today. Thinking about it, IF they really talk about the NX then it probably will be about the reveal and release, like "make your websites and servers ready, we will reveal the NX in October on xth and preorder can go live then" so MAYBE we will get a leak concerning the reveal or release date, but I dont think anything more substantial will come out

What stuck out the most to me when I was listening to the podcast was when Peer said the detachable controllers are "cheap", and that they wouldn't be the only way to play games.
Seems to me that the 'insider' was a retailer who was invited to NoE on the 20th, and thought it would mark a reveal.

There is a Just Dance demo on the Wii U eShop which refers to a downloadable app to use your smartphone as a controller...
I assume Nintendo will offer a Classic Controller option for the NX.
Don't like the detachable ones? Buy the other one.
oh I see.
but even then... isn't everything like too quiet for them to reveal anything out of the blue?
I'd guess Nintendo will announce a Direct to reveal the NX and we would have to wait a week or two and that's that. They need to get the hype machine starting first.
I don't see nintendo announced anything today.
Reggie on twitter: "Dear followers, guess where I am going NeXt? to take a dump! what surprises can that hold for the future?"
Fans: "OMG,".
This sums it up

How is PC market "far larger" than home consoles? There's very few big AAA titles being made exclusively for PC right now - outside form indies and KS projects, and many are ported to consoles - most of former PC devs migrated or started developing for home consoles, and PC versions from big AAA third-parties, despite having better graphics and customization, doesn't sell anywhere close to their console counterpart. You live in a fantasy world if you believe otherwise.
If you think that big AAA third-parties aren't crucial to any home console support nowadays and that the west isn't the reference for modern development, who is then? Japanese devs? Indie devs? Mobile devs? Please...
I told and explained on my previous post on why third-parties wouldn't support an underperforming hardware, but you seems to jump into conclusion that third-parties aren't going to support Nintendo whatever they do. That's silly. If Nintendo manages to make something with the necessary requisites from big third-parites to create an ecosystem and sell their games, they will support it. There's no such thing as "grudge" in the gaming industry, as your argument is probably leading to.

I'm not saying they are everything, but their support is definitively crucial for a home console to succeed nowadays. Wii U lost them and we know the story. Sure, other games are very important indeed, not trying to dismiss them, but big AAA titles can't just be ignored by any hardware maker in order to rely on first-party efforts or restricted support alone. Before someone shows up and says Wii and 3DS relied on Nintendo's library alone, that's not true. Both have a consistent third-party catalog, despite being overlooked by some devs, nowhere near the hollow wasteland that Wii U is.
Portable market is a wasteland for western devs. Neither 3DS or Vita managed to attract them. Nintendo has, in practice, monopoly over the portable market at the moment, so it doesn't really matter if they have support or not, they're the only option.
Sure, Wii lost most of HD multiplatform titles, but still they managed to have a solid third-party userbase. Companies like Ubisoft and EA had profits with Wii.
Wii U is complete wasteland in all fronts.

Only in Japan would I even close to consider the third party support for 3DS consistent. In the west the 3DS third party lineup is a damn wasteland. And the Wii missed out on almost every major multiplatform title that generation.

#NintendoNX tag as well. Looks like he signed a NX NDA.
I hope things start moving towards a reveal.
Uhhhh I would think that disclosing you signed an NDA at all would fall under said NDA?

Nintendo pls ban this man from F-Zero and the NX.
yeah😅😅, low quality troll
I hope Nintendo will also reboot its IPs. Breath of the Wild is a reboot, Mario 3D is supposed to get a reboot. Retro Studios must work on a Metroid Prime reboot, right? Mario Kart could get a reboot (like MK8 but way more Nintendo characters aka Nintendo Kart), Mario Party needs Online OH MY GOD PLEASE REBOOT THIS, both Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario are ready for a reboot as well.
They might have been off on the September reveal, but everything else has been confirmed by other people with different sources as well. GAF needs to accept that this will be an hybrid device and that there won't be another console for now
I bet the issues right now are with the presentation itself than with the NX
Plus Wipeout and F-Zero are complete opposites. But superficial similarities are more important that frankengames
Nah we need all resources poured into a gritty survival horror Ice Climbers.
No, it's not strange for reports to get some details right and some wrong, especially as the details come from different and varying number of sources. The September reveal was from 1 source and not nearly as corroborated by other outlets as the rest of the report. It's also the most easily changed detail, as Nintendo can easily push back a reveal date but not so much shift direction in hardware mere months away from launch.

Laughed when I read Metroid. Pretty sure "any (ostensibly good) game at all" would be enough to get those fans going. Let alone a successful reboot.
Though with the rather peculiar situation of that series, perhaps a reboot is actually exactly what is needed!

Ice Climbers at its heart is a FPS whose tone is inspired by John Carpenters The Thing
Gyro mite also needs to come back, I feel Nintendo needs a Michael Bay style third person shooter with robots
Mario Party needs to get rid of those stupid cars and ridiculous focus on dice rolling.
Paper Mario already went under a reboot and look what it did lol.
Boooo, BOOO YOU GUYS.
I'm all for originality, but F-ZERO GX was actually held back by the story elements and daft CG cut scenes. Don't scrap the characters, necessarily, just refine them and their backgrounds, and keep the focus on the high speed racing and superb mechanics that the series is known for.
I mean, really - go back and look at some of the character designs in GX, and I challenge you not to cringe just a little bit.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Star Rush which comes out in November has no cars and looks like a complete reboot.

Just remake the original SNES game, nice visuals, 60fps, download title, 20-25 bucks, test the waters and see how it does.

Something that bugs me about the silence from Nintendo is how bad they treat current Nintendo fans. They are sitting at home, looking at their dusty failure of a wiiu, wondering why Nintendo abandoned them.
Why would they put their trust in Nintendo products again after that?

I want a Mario/Sonic crossover platformer developed by Nintendo.
Oh neat. Don't have a 3DS anymore though, and I'd need to find out whether it has all those silly dice rolling minigames still. I liked Mario Party up through 7 (8 was just weird though it doesn't have the problems of the recent ones).
I'm doing just fine lol
They're gearing up for the new gen, like always.

We can safely assume that Iwata wouldn't have let this silence take over Nintendo. But I have faith in the new direction they're taking.
You forgot the word kappa somewhere there.

As someone who considers the Vita to be my favourite platform of the current generation, Wii U fans have no fucking idea what it really feels like to be abandoned. Believe it or not, Wii U fans got it good.
Then they remember the fun times they had playing Bayonetta 2, MK8, Smash 4 etc and think "thats why".
nintendo supported the wii u long after it made sense financially. that they are throwing first-party games onto the machine in 2016 is a little surprising when they could have gone full-force with the 3ds in 2014 and bolstered their handheld brand leading into nx. the saturn, dreamcast, and ps vita didn't make it this far with first-party support.
