Fuck yeah glad we already have a date.

Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

 

[Bronetta]

Goddammn FINALLY Nintendo, thanks!

Good to have a date

 

[Volotaire]

Great to see it confirmed in advance. I'm interested to learn about the lineup and more details.

 

[tinders]

I suspect this thread will be 1000 pages long by then

 

[Gorilla Shark]

So much Hype!!!

 

[DVCY201]

Will record in my calendar! Hype

 

[vatstep]

How long will it take for this thread to reach 20,000 posts?

 

[DMONKUMA]

Overall just show me some fantastic-ass games Nintendo and that system is day 1.

 

[RootCause]

This should be longer than 3 minutes. :3
Still a long way to go.

 

[Balmung421]

Damn out of no where; can't wait to see it

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

At least they're not leaving it up to speculation as to when the event will be for more info.

 

[sleepwalkcapsules]

They are cutting it kinda close, no? I mean its coming out in March. I fear its going to get delayed until 2017 holiday.

Delayed? They reinforced the date in the reveal trailer.

It's weird that it's kinda close, but it's clearly their plan all along.

 

[MattKeil]

What are the Vegas odds that presentation includes announcing a delay to September?

Delayed? They reinforced the date in the reveal trailer.

It's weird that it's kinda close, but it's clearly their plan all along.

Their plan all along was to release it in Fall 2016, but it slipped to March and Zelda went with it. A further delay to Fall 2017 is entirely possible, regardless of what the slate at the end of the trailer said.

 

[DarkLegion]

Sounds far, but I bet time will fly now that I can play games in peace and not refresh NX threads

 

[Hinchy]

They are cutting it kinda close, no? I mean its coming out in March. I fear its going to get delayed until 2017 holiday.

All reliable reports suggest the system is actually ahead of schedule and they literally just announced it for March a week ago. Don't worry about it.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Well at least we have a date.

77 more days

 

[MoonFrog]

Nice to have a date, tbh. Even if it is far away.

 

[sappyday]

Weird that they're doing a conference second but did a commercial first (longer than a commercial but that's what that video basically was)

 

[-Horizon-]

Soon

 

[outunderthestars]

I bet preorders open that day or the next day. My money is ready.

 

[Gaspard]

More details

This day will have EVERYTHING. Hype!

 

[bumpkin]

Well, it's a clear date at least!

That was what I was thinking... It sucks that we have to wait a little over two and a half months for more info, but at least we have a *when*.

 

[ciD_Vain]

.

 

[also]

This is so far away... I hope we see some games from 3rd parties before then.
"home gaming system" makes me worry that the 3-hour battery rumors are true.

 

[Kindekuma]

SOON-ish.
January will come fast.

 

[Mushroomer25]

This is a very minor point, but the use of the word "Presentation" makes it sound like a stage presentation. In other words, no Direct.

 

[xzeldax3]

Hopefully we get some launch titles announced.

 

[jediyoshi]

"And it's out.. now!"

 

[RPGCrazied]

Coming in November, $249 or $299. Calling it now.

 

[Schnozberry]

I already have $500 burning a hole in my pocket waiting for launch. Should be a good time.

 

[Omzz]

The legend of the January direct continues

 

[thebisonxrc]

Oh man that feels so far away! I can't wait to hear everything about it, good and bad. Also, I want to pre-order the darn thing as soon as possible. Hopefully those'll be open before January.

 

[Enforced]

Kriby Air ride 2 reveal please Nintendo.
I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Joeshabadoo]

wow, is this the furthest out from the actual date that theyve announced a direct type thing of this nature? unlike them, but Im glad they hit us with it

will it anger investors? well yes, but because everything does (short of getting slapped in the mouth with a wad of currency)

 

[secretanchitman]

Great, looking forward to it in approximately two months. Hoping to see more BotW and a confirmation of Smash 4 on the system.

 

[vareon]

The Facebook page says it'll take place in Tokyo. Proper conference?

 

[phanphare]

let's fucking go

glad they actually put a date out there this far ahead of time

 

[udivision]

They really could've gotten away with a January reveal, and not have teased anything at all in 2016.

But Nintendo doesn't like anth0ny

 

[Dark Cloud]

Wow I knew it would be around mid January! I love they gave us a date already!!

 

[AcademicSaucer]

soon

 

[KingBroly]

Januaryton TWO: The Directening

 

[RoKKeR]

I'm in. Nice of them to give a date.

 

[Recreat3]

Well im guessing this will determine whether a lot if people pre order or not. Hopefully the launch lineup is solid. I mean we have zelda and lots of people have been anticipating that game for a long time now..but we need moarrr!

First live Nintendo presentation in quite some time!

 

[Schnozberry]

That is an unexpected distinction. Maybe this will include third parties giving some of their presentations as well.

 

[rewkol]

At least it's a date; January direct here we come... I guess. Man that's far away though.

 

[Galang]

Wow. Awesome they actually announced a presentation date! YASSS

 

[Merc_]

At least we don't have to wonder.

 

[-Horizon-]

More details

I'm feeling pretty optimistic.
