They want their investors to realize they are creating a new console and they should invest money into the company.

If the PS4K really is Q1 2017, then the March launch somehow becomes even worse for Nintendo. You can feed all the BS you want about "Nintendo doesn't cater to that audience", but if they don't want another Wii U, launching against a newer version of the current #1 console is a bad way to go about doing things.
Well, they're only expecting 800k units to be sold this fiscal year so price drop isn't really that necessary.
seriously it's like people expect them to say "this game is shit and no one will buy it."

And you completely failed to actually pick up on the part of the statement that I was responding to. This isn't normal for them to be saying things like this.

Another L to the face for Nintendo fans. Sigh...
This is the worst news of the day.
I don't extensively says "doomed" as I really rather prefere they take the time to do things well.

So the 30th Anniversary of Zelda is canceled?
So lets celebrate 30 years of Zelda! At E3, with this videopackage.....

an enitre E3 to talk about pokken DLC? nintendo you shouldnt have!
People double dip on Fates. The special SKU could count as three games internally.
Not showing anything about the NX at E3 could suggest they just don't have anything that's ready to show. I wonder if releasing in march is Nintendo "taking their time" or struggling to get something out...
id rather have them take their time cooking the nx than it launching as slow and barebones as wii u, for me this mean more time to save money, and maybe buy the wii u games that i havent bought
You can always trust Nintendo to do something worse than our wildest dreams.
This is fucking hilarious but by all accounts it should be expected. With few dev kits out and obviously fuck all people working on games for it yet it needs more time to cook. Won't be good for them though if they go against the PS4 NEO and an E3 with no NX is a joke.

Hmm? People buy Paper Mario, and other than Sticker Star I've found them to be great games and anything but shit personally.

This is worrying. Signals to me that there's no unannounced first party heavy hitters coming at all this year. Even Nintendo isn't confident in the remaining time WiiU has left. Seems like a retread of the Wii to WiiU transition. Man, I was really hoping for a more graceful transition this time.
Would they even bother with a price drop?
Amen.

It better be good when it arrives Nintendo,else were gonna have a falling out
It was never confirmed for a 2016 release, so how can you say it was delayed?

If that's the case, the NX is already dead.

One holiday sales period ahead of their competitor isn't really enough of a headstart to make a lick of difference anyways.

I fully expected this to happen.
This is the most accurate use of this phrase, probably ever.
Zelda NX was leaked.
That's about all we know.
How they're focusing on Zelda at E3 and not showing NX is insane to me.

They need any and all help they can get coming off of the Wii U. Missing holiday in general is bad, but coupled with still having to launch against a strong competitor is even worse.
But wouldn't a few weeks be much worse? I'd say so.
Obviously it's not ready so they have to wait
It is meant for us because they "revealed" launch dates.
It's honestly become an abusive relationship.
Gaf made assumptions.
See I made an assumption it was coming this holiday, hence I'm more disappointed than the 2017 crew who are being smug. Ah well, I'll get over it. I'm not bitter, just confused but we'll see how Nintendo handles. It's not completely fucked until they fuck up the reveal "event" or whatever.

The 25th anniversary had a live concert that took up 1/3rd of the conference. This time they'll have a pre-recorded concert that will take up 1/3rd of the direct. The rest of the direct will be about Federation Force and developer interviews on the new zelda concluding with a 1 minute zelda trailer that will have to satisfy us for another 6-9 more months until the next trailer.
i have no idea how I wound up replying to you lol sorry! this was for a different post!
Yeah.
well they could have announced that they are out of the games business and they are killing all their ip with them, i mean.

We know that now after the DS has already come and gone, but at the time they literally called it a 3rd pillar. You're right though, it was a precaution. They same might be said for the NX, too.
We know that it's a home console because Zelda is already confirmed for it. Them confirming Zelda gives us a bit more insight. If it wasn't meant to replace the Wii U, then why port one of your biggest titles to it? That tells us that they believe some people that want to play Zelda will not have a Wii U. What's the point of a third system if it seemingly plays the same games? NoA came right out called it the next generation of Nintendo. This is 100% meant to replace the Wii U.
Then again, this is Nintendo. This thing could very well be a VCR.
Did they confirmed it that we wouldn't see anything from nx at E3?
So the people who bought in for one of Nintendo's biggest franchises are fools for not foreseeing that it would be released 4 years after first being announced, at the beginning of the Wii U lifespan? Guess people are fools for expecting titles to be released on a nintendo console at all.

The release date of the NX console and the biggest Zelda game to date is pretty serious for a lot of people.
