Unsure if you saw it, but Alberto mentioned in trying to port SMM they were having significant dfficulty getting the UCG over to NX, or something to that effect, and that this was stalling progress on a port. So that might continue to hold up a port or mean waiting for a sequel.

He basically said we might see it next e3.
He said E3 in a year or two, but hard to imagine they would take quite that long to show the next Mario game.

Those "discussions" are just shots in the dark and pretty much pointless conjecture as we don't even know the exact kind of chip inside NX, the clock speed, the amount of RAM etc. There's been at least a couple of sources mentioning PS3 as a point of comparison graphics wise and this doesn't exactly elicit confidence. And yes, it might be "mind blowing" for a handheld but if you're really trying to sell this thing as a hybrid you also have to judge it as a home console and in that case it sounds extremely underwhelming, even with my low expectations for Nintendo hardware.
I think the logic is the same that they had with the Wii U. If they create compelling content, users will come. If they get enough users, they'll get third party support. It may not be in the same form as what exists on PS4, but they'll get support.
Now whether or not this will pan out for them, only time will tell. My only hope atm is that the power is closer to PS4 than PS3. I get that it's mobile, but when I play the system on my TV I don't want to feel like I'm playing Wii U again.

Damn as someone who's just a casual Poke player idk what to do. I just recently finally got a copy of Alpha Sapphire, and I am play that.
Moon would be nice, but I'm unlikely to buy the 3rd title in a grouping if I already own one of the original two. So maybe I just play Alpha, and I skip moon. Just bank that cash towards NX. Then get whatever Poke NX shit hits fall 2017.

Pokemon stadium back from the dead , allows you to play sun/moon , like old times
It'd make perfect sense since itd be like October or September 6 months after a March NX launch
Do it Nintendo

Well, because the models are so high-poly, the game chugs the closer you get to them. So if you put more power behind it, ideally, you'd get something smoother.

Pokemon Stadium 3, Pokemon Snap 2 (omg can you imagine all the areas they could create with hundreds and hundreds of Pokemon!) or a Pokemon RPG like XD or Gale of Darkness I would take.

Hope it's March, finish off persona 5 and have any gaming time then on for the nx console.
I understand that but even more so outside of battles, not talking about the models, XY is almost a downright ugly game. The new character models in Sun/Moon are nice but Gamefreak's history with graphical improvements and the rigid world design don't fill me with confidence.
Some consider Super Mario Galaxy 2 to be the last true 3D Mario game since 3D World/Land play more like a hybrid of 2D & 3D gameplay.
Those people forget that Galaxy 2 was very linear also.

Can we not go down this path, please? Nintendo wanted to make 3D Mario the way they did with 3D World (btw it was amazing) and that's how it is. It was the next 3D Mario title. Next year will be 4 years since 3D World.

One can only dream of a new Pokemon Snap...
These just sound like the kind of easy guesses that a 'psychic' makes.
Oh a mario game and a Pokemon game on a new Nintendo console? Wow. How unheard of.
Even if the Pokemon game doesn't turn out to be by gamefreak they can then turn around and say 'well our sources were mostly correct'.
Where are all the details that might show that this is real information? 3D mario? 2d? Multiplayer?
Maybe the magazine has an uncle that works at Nintendo.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I wouldn't be surprised if this 6 month period is longer than 6 months though.

This sounds amazing. Day fucking 1.

Since the mainline pokemon games are going to be in HD it means that there will be longer dev cycles. I wonder if they'll have 2 studios developing them, one for original games and the other for remakes. The time between Sun/Moon and the rumored release of a new game is too short for GF to develop another mainline game(unless it's a third version) so having another studio already developing a Kanto remake would make sense. Again, just wishful thinking here.
On another note, I'd really like for the next games to change the art style to something similar to BotW.

Could be! That is the fun thing to me, all the speculation. I am a firm believer words matter and people don't just say things to say them. I imagine the SCD or something else putting it at those levels of power.
Perhaps its a matter of running off battery vs AC?
I could be wrong, but if even devs in their article say its a nice piece of kit instead of what they said about Wii u which was "lol guess you dont need a lot of power to run mario" or something along those lines, then im inclined to believe its no slouch.

I use to think Splatoon 2 needed to release by holiday 2017 to bring in Japanese players, but now that we see the NX is more so a handheld, then they probably don't need it by holiday 2017. Also, we have to see what this Pokemon game is.

When Emily said the first year Software of NX would blow away Wii U's she wasn't lying if this all turns out to be true

If NX cant play 3DS games then a HD version of the new Pokemon games would be amazing smart instead of waiting for years for game freaks next new thing

They'll come running back once the NX sells like hot cakes as it was destined to be
So yeah, it's probably a Super Mario Maker port.
Oh, I completely agree with you both. I was just trying to explain the comment about 7 years since the last 3D Mario game!

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
A proper 3D Mario sure would make me consider buying one of these

No it was about a 'new kind' of Mario or something. I'm hoping for Grand Theft Mario the edgehog

I think the 3D Mario Team last known project was Captain Toad, so they had plenty of time to develop an Mario 3D game with any scope they want.

So Game Freak are going to move console mid-gen 8? That doesn't make much sense to me. The only way I could believe this rumour is if they're porting Sun & Moon over to the NX because it isn't backwards compatible (like the GBA, DS and 3DS before it) and making all the gen 8 games cross-gen.
I think it's reasonable to expect a SMM something in the first 6 months or so, but given Miyamoto's comments at E3 I'm hoping we will see a new Mario launch by Holiday 2017, and if he was just referring to 3D Mario there, it's possible we'd see a new 2D Mario sooner.
I'm sorry, I should have been clearer. I wasn't meaning that towards you. Just towards those strongly against acknowledging Mario 3D Land or World as 3D Mario games.

New Super Mario Bros NX with Wii graphics in HD and the flying cape.

What's great about creating news stories out of NX rumors is that there is no way to hold you accountable if you are wrong, but you get clicks. And you get to cite "sources".
There seem to be a lot of sites with sources these days.

Sounds completely fine to me.
Did you see Miyamoto's comments at E3, though?

Unless a timetable has moved up, this makes me think we are looking at Holiday 2017 at the earliest. But, perhaps he was only referring to 3D Mario here and that we'll see a 2D Mario in this timeframe.
Genius Sonority needs to be given another shot at a big pokemon game. XD gale of darkness was fantastic. Let those guys go at giving us a full 3D reboot of pokemon red and blue. They are good enough in tech to make the games.
or HAL....they made the pokemon stadiums which were pure ACE
