I can just picture everyone waking up tomorrow in their Amiibo pyjamas and rushing to GAF only to find out all these horrors.

That's great in itself but its the monetizing aspect & lack of hook to return to said game in the release of Miimoto will probably be apparent in those releases too. I'm skeptical
Incredible news. Glad I stayed awake.
I had said to prepare for the worst possible news as it's Nintendo. For me that was nx in 2017 and barren 2016 focussed on mobile. They did one better with the no nx at e3 news.
Nintendo - where even your worst case scenario isn't bad enough.
This E3 will be excruciating.
What are they going to do to fill an hour long show?
But muh stage show hype!!!Further speaks of E3's irrelevancy.
No NX at E3.
Not so much that they would be jumping around happy. Anyway no matter what the NX is, launch buyers are always the core fanbase, of which there is little overlap between Nintendo and the others.They do when they're trying to sell new hardware of their own this fall if rumors are anything to go by.
Less competition is always welcomed.

Nintendo is trying to boost Wii U sales in 2016 by copying the successful strategy we used in 2015: not releasing any first party exclusives
More likely they'll have their own blowout event in the fall, when they finally have something to show.
Further speaks of E3's irrelevancy.
Actually this could be a chance for Sony to put a final nail into Nintendo's coffin with PS4.5 ( if they present it properly )
Retro last released a game in February 2014 and they usually announce their next project every 3 years so that means we should see it at E3 and perhaps it's a holiday 2016 title for the Wii U.
I'm not being optimistic, I'm just pointing out that this is a possibility.
Wow Nintendo just broke hearts in a way no other console maker EVER HAS IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING. Lets see what they have up their sleeve...there has to be something up there right?
I don't think they will wait until fall to present the console.
But hey, I've been wrong before
But, unlike with Microsoft and Sony, there isn't the mainstream hype for NX, and besides that, Sony and Microsoft had their blowouts before E3 in order to use E3 to sell the systems to the masses (the reveals were more for the investors).
Their strategy isn't viable when they no longer have mind share to do ot, Nintendo is an afterthought right now, they need to rebuild their brand with this simply from a marketing standpoint, before even attempting to sell it.

Nintendo should do an own event and reveal it that way. The danger of being drowned out by PS Neo and whatever MicroSoft might be doing could hamper the excitement for NX.
I'm sure everyone is gonna be hyped to play new cod and madden in March.
But muh stage show hype!!!
That subsequently got shared everywhere. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. People I didn't even know that liked gaming were sharing that Gametrailers holy trinity meltdown - not ironically either. They got caught in the enthusiasm.
Two great games in 2015 is nice, but 2016 is gonna be an absolute nightmare if they don't have a heavy-hitter for the Wii U this holiday.
trev's leak made it sound like a 2016 launch was definitely happening due to marketing expenditures
But muh stage show hype!!!
What I thought too. Sony didn't announce their system at E3, nor did MS. E3 is no long the place for big blowouts on some stuff as many have their own ways to get their information out when they feel ready.
What's wrong with you all?
They will be launching in March 2017 to make sure it has a strong launch line up of games with from them and 3rd parties. Isn't that what we want? not the rushed launches of 3DS and WiiU with their poor launch line ups and barren release schedule after launch>?
Nintendo hopefully have learnt from previous mistakes. This is a good thing for everyone.
Ok, it launches 4 months later than expected (which btw i've been saying it would be 2017 for months but every time i dared say it I got shot down with 'but we KNOW its launching in 2016. Verified sources told us!')
Not at E3 is disappointing but they have been distancing themselves from E3 for the last few years. It does;t mean much t them anymore - the will have a launch event - you know like MS and Sony did with their new consoles.
Yes, its disappointing it sin;t launching until nest year. Yes, its disappointing it won't be at E3. Yes, the WiiU release schedule is pretty bare this year. But it would be far more disappointing for them to launch when they aren't quite ready, with poor software. That, my friends, would be the end of Nintendo.

You do this to yourselves every time!
A major console release in the spring? Surely it would be more successful in the fall.Not so much that they would be jumping around happy. Anyway no matter what the NX is, launch buyers are always the core fanbase, of which there is little overlap between Nintendo and the others.
