I just hope that the NX version gets longer draw distances, as well as higher resolution shadows and effects. It would go a long way in improving visual fidelity.

That, and the LOD at far distances needs to be higher quality. There is no reason that the NX version should have cardboard cutout trees on the horizon.
You'll get more bloom and you'll like it.
That seems a bit excessive. Surely high quality AO would suffice.

Not enough for me to buy it over the Wii U version
Now, have it run at 1080p/60fps with high quality SSAA with the aforementioned shading/lighting/LOD improvements and I'll be down for the NX version DAY 1!
That would be the bare minimum, sure.
They did. 30 years ago.
Also, avatar quote.
And this is a good one, right?
TP is considered underwhelming (not mediocre) by a tiny, vocal fraction of the internet, which hardly counts as "largely deemed" considering how many people bought it.
... TP is less loved than WW and SALES show that? Did you send an email to yourself while your microwave was on or you just missed the march NDA?
Well, if you forget about SSAA everything else can happenNot enough for me to buy it over the Wii U version

Lighting is already fantastic though.
In CPU alone, at least, I have to think the Intel we have from LCGeek is some of the most reliable we've seen, given his track record.
He's right thugh (although i think WW is on the same level as SS).
Hur, hur I see what you did there.
Ummm... Twilight Princess is the best selling game in the series and the HD Wii U version was the 3rd best selling game in the US last month.
Oh, gotcha, thank you. ☺
You say 'the' NX but won't they need to reveal two pieces of hardware
Nothing's leaked about the HH yet, so you're probably in the clear for this year for Bette ror for worse. Unless the Nintenjas are even more skilled than we realized, which is entirely possible.
I never considered that. Where was Tricky in DKR?
I think we could see something like this, but....
As Zalman says, it seems unlikely to announce then all at once. Perhaps they'll just say future form factors will come in other...forms. Or even just hint at it or not mention it at all but reveal the systems in a way wherein we could reasonably see such a thing happening, so as not to muddy the waters of the initial announcement. Something like that could be cool as a device, though.
I don't think they were saying 5 Wii U ports at launch, but rather 5 launch games total including Wii U ports, unless I misunderstood.
The fiscal results and likely press conference will be Wednesday afternoon in JP, let's say 3-5 PM, somewhere in there, which is 2-4 AM EST Tuesday night (technically Wednesday), or 11 PM-1 AM PST. The investor briefing is probably 10 AM Thursday morning in JP, which is 9 PM EST/6 PM PST Wednesday night in the US. It's unknown how much if any NX info we will get at any of these events.

On Neogaf maybe, but l don't see how you can seriously claim "no one really cared" about the HD remake when it was 3rd in the last NPD sales ranking. lt's probably why it tends to be maligned online, actually: since it's one of the most commercially successful entries in the franchise you come off as a more unique individual with refined tastes if you talk shit about it and support a slightly more obscure game instead.

And I'm gonna say that I'm 100% sure that if people actually checked based on the past events in the IR calendar:
- May 7, 2014: Fiscal Year Earnings Release
- May 8, 2014: Fiscal Year Financial Results Briefing
- May 7, 2015: Fiscal Year Earnings Release
- May 8, 2015: Fiscal Year Financial Results Briefing
So prediction is that the date you're looking for:
- Apr. 27, 2016: Fiscal Year Earnings Release [Scheduled]
- Apr. 28, 2016: Fiscal Year Financial Results Briefing
Nothing..... He's probably sitting at his comp screen laughing at the unverified chaos he's causing.....
It's all speculation here folks...
Nah, I'm pretty sure they need to address it regardless at the least in some vague fashion if it plays into their forecas tfor the current FY.
At this point I'm skeptical we get.Mario and Zelda this year. I'm concerned they won't want to release the two for the same system so near to one another. I hope I'm wrong, though. Can't wait to see what those geniuses at EPD Tokyo have cooked up this time!
Isn't this in line with what I wrote? To clarify, I was trying to say Nintendo will do the earnings result alongside a small press conference as they have, and then the results briefing the next morning. The small press conference and full results briefing being two different things.

If the NX is indeed releasing in this FY they NEED to talk about it to some extent in this briefing. They cannot stay silent at all. They have to talk about what they're going to do this year.
I didn't really understand that well. I doubt the press conference will have anything to talk about though.
Heh. Anyway, they'd have to intentionally try to have a slower CPU than PS4, so that doesn't say much other than that the CPU is probably newer than Jaguar.

2017: Fiscal Year Financial Results Briefing
Kimishima: "Dear investors, for those wondering why we had to use a truckload of budget without telling you, it was apparently used for production and marketing of our new system, still named NX. But i guess you should know that by now."
Since NX will likely eat it's way in their 2017 fiscal year budget, they really, really should say something about NX, or you have some pitchfork & torch-like investors at you.

No they have to be a bit more specific. We won't see anything groundbreaking but Nintendo definitely wants investors to invest. Wii U didn't work out too well, they have to explain what they did to NX to solve those problems, without saying what is NX in particular (since they won't yet).
I'm not saying we will see the name of the console or the gimmick, but what is guarenteed is the announcement date.
EDIT: And if they don't say more in the presentation, investors will ask themselves in the Q&A session there should be.
Doesn't take that much actually. If they don't need that kind of CPU power because RAM and GPU are largely inferior to the current gen machines (like, 4GB RAM and 500gflops GPU), they could simply use one cluster of Jaguar/Puma (4 cores) instead of two like in the PS4.
That's all that anyone's expecting: a reveal date and maybe a name. I'm still on Team May for the reveal though.
While true, that's on the extreme end. I'm just saying that all that we can safely say that this point is that it's at least on-par with XBone. It can still be weaker than PS4 or even slightly weaker than XBone.

What I'm still curious about that there is officially no Results Briefing scheduled, there is no one talking about it and there is no venue confirmed.
On the official site (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/schedule/index.html), the 27th is confirmed for the Fiscal Year Earnigs Release - but there is no mention on any briefing on the 28th yet.
Why is everyone so sure that a meeting is taking place? Maybe Nintendo is just sharing information on the last fiscal year for now and really waiting for E3?

Yeah, sorry to have been unclear. That's what I was trying to say, just difficult to articulate myself when I'm still waking up, haha. But I'm sure you're right that the press conference may not provide much in the way of info.
Yup, i agree with that. My low end is still 1tflop GCN 1.2, which should be around Xbox One.
I don't think that they would talk about mobile games at E3, and they can't possibly expect investors to wait for or even watch E3 (when the quarter is almost over). Maybe the meeting's just being announced late. There's just no way they're skipping something as important as a year-end financial briefing. Maybe it'll be announced a day before.
They'd need a custom GCN 1.2 to make it that weak, which goes against the "not intentionally weak" line we've heard before, so I'd call that unlikely.

I hope they have a good bunch of high production value new IP like Splatoon was. Of course they will have the new Zelda, Pikmin 4 and Mario but if the rest is just old stuff I'll be a little dissapointed.
No matter how the game ended up being I LOVED the fact that Knack was the first game revealed for ps4, not Killzone or inFamous. Same with E3 when they showed 1886, shit was hype to have something completely new in the AAA world.
Call me stupid but i'd rather have your Diddy Kong Racings, F Zeros and Metroids not happen for a while longer.

TWell, if you forget about SSAA everything else can happen
Lighting is already fantastic though.
Unless something has drastically changed in the development philosophy of the Zelda team, I'm not expecting a 60 fps console Zelda.
Not intentional, just autocorrect, haha. I usually catch it.

If you are referring to Nintendo's 2015 Fiscal Year Financial Results Briefing, I believe live tweeting is prohibited from there. Whether David Gibson will be attending I don't know.
As for live tweets, the news conference is more likely to yield such.
Splatoon was pretty surely cheap(guaranteed to be cheaper than 1886 and Knack) and runs commercially and critically circles around them.

Was thinking Gibbo wasn't allowed to do live tweets anymore anhwhere but I can't remember if that's right.

There's still no official confirmation of the meetings date? It's going to be Tuesday in Japan soon.

The IR schedule is yet to be updated with mention of the 2015 Fiscal Year Financial Results Briefing. It is not uncommon for Nintendo to update it on the date of the earnings release.

That mention regards 2014 Fiscal Year Financial Results Briefing. It just happens to be inside FY 2015.
That's last year.

No idea about the venue, but they usually don't add the briefing date to the public calendar until after the results are out.
And of course there'll be a briefing; they're a publicly traded company and it's the year-end results. They only skip it for Q1, as that isn't tied to any financial milestones (save in 2011, which was an atypical circumstance due to the 3DS price cut).

The last two fiscal years they didn't do their briefing until first week in May and this year it's the last week of April...hmm something smells fishy

Okay, thanks for clarifying!
It's most likely just due to Golden Week's timing this year. There's a chance that it's due to a planned conference in the second week of May, but I wouldn't look too much into it.
