So it looks like there could be really finally the NX reveal in the next 2 weeks.
Please be true.

Retailers are heading to Nintendo Europe in Germany for undisclosed reason.

Best to keep expectations low, of course, but FWIW:

Nintendo needs to talk to us about a meeting that isn't aimed at us and isn't even publicly announced?

Do we hype it? I'm conflicted.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
They haven't said anything concrete about the NX for 550 days. Why would they start now?

Don't bother until it's official, you'll drive yourself mad.

I read the thread thinking that retailers around europe were going to nintendo europe with pitchforks as some kind of rebellion.
I hope it's the NX

Well this definitely says a lot. I'm convinced it's NX now.
Is it time for the Hype Train or no? I don't wanna fall for this again.
Gamestop expo equivalent hype train!!!!!!

Keep in mind that Phazon has worked on the press side of things. It's *possible* that NoE holds these events more frequently for retailers.

Jesus, I can't... what is the precedent? Did retailers get first looks when the Wii-U was about to get announced?
Yea seriously, can someone refresh my memory. Or was it just shown publicly to everyone at once?

Given the time between when the WiiU was announced to the public and when it was actually launched, I imagine not.

Just because we have reports of retailers being invited does not preclude the possibility of press being invited too, for some sort of pre reveal hands on event.
Also we have NoE reports but there could also be simultaneous NoA and NCL events for all we know, especially when we have reports that everyone attending is under NDA.
Or it's not NX related. I wouldn't be shocked either way.

Well, depending on what number/level of retailers are attending, we may not get anything for a few more weeks.

Reggie was right
They need to get the message started right

Which one of these hypothetical amiibo do we think would actually sell the most?
My money's on the NES for console and Gameboy for handheld solely because nostalgia sells.
Though the Super Nintendo and DS look nicer imo.

Man there is something magical about a good ol' fashioned nintendo hype thread, baseless or not
Everyone in this thread is just frothing at the mouth haha. This is how disappointment is born

How often does this sort of thing happen? It has to be NX related. And the information and details from this event will be leaked. How could it not.

Makes me miss the Nintendo Direct threads though.
Those were always baseless and everyone knew it, but gosh darn it they were the hypest suckers.
All joking aside, if it is for the NX, it could be about trying to get more shelf space or better placement at retailers. Though that would normally be done at a corporate level first. But it would make sense, the last few years, Nintendo seems to be an after thought on where its stocked in most stores making it seem even more irrelevant to average consumers.
Honestly, my guess is, if it is about NX, it's more probably even more specifically about launch stuff (preorders, release data, pricing, what kind of/how many retail games to expect) and if there's anything that will be explicitly tied to the announcement, it'll be them setting up discussion on when/how to start taking preorders since I imagine they'll broach that topic in the reveal.AGITΩ;217436246 said:

They would have to let all the retailers know of they see going to start pre-orders after the announcement right?
All these things usually happen before any reveals so you can pre-order very soon after an event is over.
I mean this might not even be true but of they are inviting retailers it seems like it would be a waste if they are going to have to do a reveal to them in a month anyway.
