If this is true and they use the scd patent, it will be fun stacking xbones for maximum power.

It wasn't for me. I am going to play Mario Kart 8, Smash 4 and Mario Maker for a long time to come. Add to this Xenoblade X and Bayonetta 2, and you have a pretty limited but epic lineup of games. I consider each of those games to be better than any PS4 or XB1 exclusive. The only disappointing aspects of WiiU are the ancient online infrastructure and sales.
I am very interested to hear about NX. I hope Nintendo finally catches up with the times and gives us online-features that can match PSN and Xbox Live.

It is telling that when he discussed about consoles there was no word on the Wii U or the 3DS. 2016 will be a very interesting and exciting year to watch it all unfold.

why?
Keep telling yourself that, it won't make it anymore true.

I still can't wrap my mind around the 2nd patent. Is that supplementary device an external drive?

Well, you just said it... you know nothing about the system, so I asked why.

I really want a widescreen stereoscopic 3D controller. That patent we were speculating on is cool as shit!

I would love to see Nintendo come out roaring and make the NX something incredibly and worth owning, but judging from their past decade or so I'm just not optimistic. I sincerely hope my gut feeling is wrong though. They have an opportunity here to make a big impact and they truly need to make the most of it and not fuck things up even more.
Health care and the aging population is a hot-button issue in Japan right now. I seriously doubt QoL is going to be scrapped, even at its most superficial the concept is going to attract investors.

Part of me feels bad for skipping the Wii U. Some killer software has come out for it, but I feell like buying one now is silly with NX infos rolling out in the new year.
I'm just keeping my expectations as low as realistically possible.

What do you think would make it worth owning? The usual AAA bulletpoint list of strong tech and third party support?
Nintendo has been priced out of the console market. They can't compete in the high end market the same way Sony and Microsoft can, unless they decide to start being a lot less conservative with the warchest. This isn't a company's glorious return to AAA gaming, it's the next business move of one who is trying to find relevance outside of that paradigm.
This mockup doesn't even look that high-tech anymore.Yeah, it's the most revolutionary piece of the NX puzzle.
Along with the "now you're playing with power" supplemental computing devices.

Please dont fuck up NX, nintendo. I wanna be there on both fronts day one.
Maybe in Japan, sure. But the Wii U is literally on life support. The NX Handheld can wait until Spring 2017. But as far as the West goes, the NX Console has to be out before the end of 2016.
Lmao. I hope he can be my grandpa.

QOL is mentioned very specifically in their CSR 2015 Report which came out in July I believe? Nintendo confirms QOL is a variety of (non-gaming electronic) products that will include many themes including health.
Then, on Nintendo's recent job postings. They now added a new line to Planner (game designers) in which they mention "software" and "new entertainment".

What's not exciting about new hardware?
The NX will win back the trust Nintendo lost with the Wii U. The problem this time around won't be the hardware or the branding, however. PS4 has a commanding lead It's going to be difficult to bridge that gap without some serious innovation. Luckily, if those patents are indication... Nintendo might have something big up its sleeve. Pretty hyped for it, needless to say.
I guess I've become jaded. All my excite about a new console would come from having a clear and detailed explanation of what it can offer.
What are you talking about with the bolded? What trust did Nintendo lose with the Wii U? I think you're confusing trust with interest. An example of lost trust is what happened with Microsoft and the Xbox One.

Yep I think the most telling thing, as people have pointed out, is the absence of any mention of 3DS or Wii U. Not even, "We will continue to support our current products with a steady stream of software." In this message from the President, Nintendo is firmly declaring the NX their new core business. I don't see Nintendo launching a home console in any other month than November, and this thing definitely isn't 2 years away. It's going to be next November.

We're not even in 2016 yet and, as others have noted, the NX is the very first thing he mentions after IP.
Also, the 3DS and Wii U aren't mentioned once, not even in a "not abandoning support" sort of way. Not even a token mention of Zelda.
EDIT: Beaten.
Looking forward to see what the NX is. The bit about merchandising has me excited too since I'm a collector. I'm hoping that means more than just Jakks Pacific toys. I'm hoping to see Funko figures. I don't care if they have to put a chip in them and make them Amiibo, I want to include Nintendo in my pop collection.

Trust me, the unveiling of the revolution (aka wii) was as mysterious, if not more. The remote and the nunchuck came as stunning surprises and create an hype never seen for a Nintendo platform since, probably, the N64.
Why would he mention Zelda? He's not talking about their release schedule.

That IS their biggest game of next year. That would tie into his talk about leveraging Nintendo's IPs.
Games are very rarely directly mentioned in these messages, so I wouldn't read much into that in particular. 😀
LOL, what are you talking about.
They are not going mobile.
Not necessarily. The Wii for example was significantly 'underpowered' but made a huge splash.
Because of cheapness and novelty. Can't really replicate that novelty these days.
