Is there a list of all the people who doubted Emily? It looks like the previous thread has been removed.

What are you talking about, cringeworthy? :O

That reveal video was very good. Lots of great ideas and the Wii Sports things really surprised me. It was something I never ever expected.

Sorry but other than Zelda in HD, that E3 2011 WiiU reveal video was catastrophically bad. First impressions are everything.

 

[Azure Dream]

They're going to really drag this out, aren't they.

God I miss that game. It too was a wild hype train.

Smash 4 is great for new characters, but the things Project M did with reverse-engineered tools on a last-generation hardware base sometimes put it to shame.

 

[LiK]

I actually like the NX for a name.

Don't worry, the real name will be awful.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Yeah it's not only the NX 3 minute reveal.

Right after that we're going to get games announced for it from third party devs! Damn it's going to be an amazing day.

 

[Kiddy Dong]

This feels like the last big console hype.

I think the Vita is dead. The PS5 and Nextbox will be iterative improvements on the PS4 Pro and Scorpio, with effortless backwards compatibility (essentially like updating your PC)

The NX is the last big question. Iwata expressed interest in having something like the iOS ecosystem, so I think if the console does well the only hardware in the future will be the NX2, with the library carrying over.

Its kinda weird to think about.

Good point. If we are truly headed towards an incremental console future, this could be the last big paradigm shift as we know it.

 

[FlaygletheBagel]

3 minutes? For the initial unveil?


What the hell...

3 minutes is perfectly long enough for an epic 1st trailer that will raise hype levels. I'm sure we'll get plenty more details as we get closer to March.

Plus, hell, the trailer could be 30 seconds for all I care. It'd still be better than the silence Nintendo was subjecting us to literally hours ago.

 

[theangrypirate]

As someone who keeps telling myself that I will never buy a Nintendo product again I'm excited to see what this thing is. If the rumors are true I'll probably be skipping this but man I'm excited to see some New Nintendo hardware.

 

[dracula_x]

If that is the case, we should also think proportionally, isn't it? Not that it matters that much, anyway. Both companies are laughing k. They are on their way to the bank while we bicker over popularity contests, heheh

it will be fun to watch anyway.

 

[radio_apeshot]

This is the last day we will call it NX.

We will go to bed in a different world tomorrow.

 

[RaidenXZ]

 

[DVCY201]

The NX will solve worldwide poverty

 

[Camaway2]

No matter how many times I see this, it always gets me 😄

 

[Dark_3nergy]

My Reggie body is ready for tomorrow. Sleep tight tonight gaf, for tomorrow we 404 this place!

Also, don't disappoint me with the melt downs either. My F5 key is so not ready for this.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Okay, predicting this now:

This teaser presentation will show almost nothing.
People will go crazy. Positively crazy at first, then batshit insane after it because they didn't show enough or even anything at all.
It all ends with a date for the full reveal in the form of a Direct set for next week at the earliest.

 

[-Minsc-]

Don't worry, the real name will be awful.

"The Nintendo eXtreme"

 

[random25]

Damn it I can't focus on work lolz.

Nope.

 

[Venomgxt]

Awesome. Its starts at the time i get to work. Fantastic.

 

[Mr. MondayNight]

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an honor being this batshit crazy with you all. *starts playing violin.*

People seeing the NX is being shown tomorrow after giving up hope.

 

[Tavernacle12]

I wonder what the chances are of being able to preorder tomorrow or the day after are? It's sad that I'm ready to drop cash on something I have never seen yet.

If they announce a price and date preorders might open but I would assume it'd come after an actual direct.

 

[AgeEighty]

Trying to keep my expectations low even while my excitement is high.

What I've heard about the concept of the NX doesn't sound like an especially compelling pitch to consumers, especially if they're chasing the mobile market, but I do hope they surprise me. And I'll probably be buying it either way.

 

[DecoReturns]

The Ultra Nintendo. The successor to the Super Nintendo we always wanted.

 

[ProtomanNeo]

If the leaked pics are close to accurate I'm really curios to see the controllers and how compact they'll be to hopefully keep the size down.

 

[Sylfurd]

The more I look at it, the more I think the Nx gamepad is an embedded Wii u !

It does make sense !

 

[VendettaRed07]

I look forward to the Ken Burns length breakdown of this 3 minute video by GameXplain

First of all: shaming people fit something like this is stupid.
Second: The list would probably be bigger than there are posts in this thread right now.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

What did people say about Emily Rogers?

 

[neilyadig]

can't believe it...

trying to go in with no expectations whatsoever. I really hope Nintendo knocks it outta the park.

She had a new rumour every other week though.. eventually it was going to be right.

 

[10k]

They should call NX the N503. Cause Neogaf is gonna get error 503 tomorrow.

 

[Grylvak]

No.

 

[XenodudeX]

What did people say about Emily Rogers?

who gives a shit

 

[bndadm]

I have a dentist appointment at 8. I...need them to fix my jaw in 48 minutes. Please let them be fast.

 

[GregLombardi]

I feel like time is going to stop in GAF'ers hearts tomorrow for 3+ minutes.

Should we get ambulances?

 

[diablos991]

Anybody think we are still on for March?
I'm betting we're pushed back to June.

 

[Aaronrules380]

She had a new rumour every other week though.. eventually it was going to be right.

No she didn't. This was the first time she went hard on the reveal timing

 

[AcademicSaucer]

What did people say about Emily Rogers?

 

[Gamer79]

The sad news is if emily is right the hybrid console thing confirmed? I just want a home console not some hybrid crap.

 

[Megatron]

I'll miss you Gaf. See you in a month when the servers recover.

 

[AgeEighty]

I wonder what the chances are of being able to preorder tomorrow or the day after are? It's sad that I'm ready to drop cash on something I have never seen yet.

There's a non-zero chance they could put in at the end, "Oh and by the way, NES Classic Edition preorders are now open!" But with only three minutes to unveil the NX I kind of doubt they'll go off on any tangents.

Spoiler

But I kind of hope they do anyway.

 

[AniHawk]

I respectfully disagree... that video was what introduced 95% of Nintendo's potential customers to the Wii U. No casual observer took any notice of what Reggie said during that E3.

Watching it back, I'm almost in disbelief of how bad the messaging was. The only thing that was focused on was the controller, and the games shown looked practically identical to their Wii brethren - you've got New Super Mario Bros, Wii Sports, and other Mii-related things. Nowhere do they indicate these are new games. Apart from Zelda, there wasn't even any noticeable upgrade in visuals, which is what the majority of people associate with a new console generation.

In addition to that, the games shown were terribly disappointing for the diehard Nintendo fans (with the exception of Zelda - which was nothing more than a tech demo). And the technology was about 5 years too late. They needed to focus on what was unique to their platform and differentiated them from everyone else - the quality of their first-party titles and the unique ways the GamePad could be used to interface with them. They tried this a bit with the Wii Sports segment, but generally the applications shown seemed very gimmicky.

Now I can't imagine they'll have the same problem with this upcoming reveal but I do worry that Nintendo continues to focus on an imaginary casual blue ocean audience that has all but dried up at this point in the west.

no casual user is watching e3. that video was a thing they only showed at their press conference. the video is a proof of concept and it delivered more than the wii u did within its first two years. where nintendo lost people was the subsequent messaging. if you want something that is cringeworthy, check out the seizure-inducing dubstep launch commercials.

 

[Kiddy Dong]

Smash 4 is great for new characters, but the things Project M did with reverse-engineered tools on a last-generation hardware base sometimes put it to shame.

Yep, it's amazing what they did only having compiled code and PowwerPC assembly to work with. PM will always be my favorite Smash game, "official" or not.

 

[zeromcd73]

so fuckin hypd!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

If Nintendo fucks this up...

I am optimistic. I don't want another WiiU reveal

 

[Penguin]

So has Doomage apologized to people yet?

 

[DerekOfTheDykes]

Ah, there he is. Really, that's all you could say?

No word on how right you are all the time? How you warned us all about Emily?

Yeah dude, I'm gonna need him to hold that Capital L after all the really condescension in the previous thread.
