Coming from WCCF Tech:

According to a survey that can be completed by those who have purchased tickets for the EGX 2016, the Nintendo NX may be available in some form during the event, as the next Nintendo console is listed among the possible options of one question asking which platform users anticipate playing most as this year’s event, which will be held from September 22nd to September 25th in the UK.

What is EGX?

It's only the UK's biggest video games event! Come along and you'll find the most anticipated console and PC games, all playable weeks or months before they're released. We also have presentations by game designers from world renowned studios, areas dedicated to esports, the opportunity to meet and chat with game creators and loads more.

I don't see an exhibitor list available yet, but Nintendo exhibited at the show last year.

 

[Squall5042]

It's definitely a possibility but I don't think this confirms anything.

 

[wild wild rice]

Please be. I can't take it much longer.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

I'm not buying it. I bet they made that survey before Nintendo said there'd be no NX this year.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

It's probably purely a hypothetical question so I'm not putting too much stock in it, but regardless I think September is around the latest time Nintendo should announce NX.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I'd like to know how many clicked Wii U.

 

[Mediking]

I'm not buying it. I bet they made that survey before Nintendo said there'd be no NX this year.

And we're done.

 

[Venom Fox]

Sweet! Payed like 18 for two tickets the other month.

 

[Pokemaniac]

September does seem like the most likely month for an NX reveal event.

 

[KingBroly]

Maybe a reveal in august

 

[thisisvlad]

Could just be a bargaining chip the conference wants to use to get Nintendo to reveal/announce/showcase the system there.

 

[NateDrake]

I doubt NX will be in the hands of the public prior to early 2017.

NX will more than likely be revealed at a dedicated event hosted by Nintendo. 3DS and Wii U had NYC events that detailed the launch lineup and price. NX should have the same type event.

 

[Volotaire]

I hope so. The EGX date lines up with when Nintendo might reveal the NX. I have two days booked at the moment so I'm hoping it might be there. But I doubt they would be ready to showcase it that soon.

 

[Mpl90]

I doubt NX will be in the hands of the public prior to early 2016.

So, as I've always predicted, Nintendo's so powerful they make the time go backwards!

 

[sixteen-bit]

I doubt NX will be in the hands of the public prior to early 2016.

Well that's an easy prediction to make in mid-2016

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Rumor: HoloLens May Be Playable At EGX 2016 (September 22-25)

 

[javac]

Nintendo usually has an event around September to coincide with hardware launches, right? I could see the console being revealed around that time frame.

 

[Jawbreaker]

I would hope so at that point.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Oh I believe it. September was my prediction since this delay happened, since Sept and Oct are the months where Nintendo hold their mega fall conferences years ago (remember Monster Hunter 3 on Wii, Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS, etc?).

History repeating itself I bet, likely mid-month maybe, as I doubt it'll be playable at EGX prior to being announced and EGX itself seems a tad odd where Nintendo would hold their very own conference as mentioned.

 

[DownGrader]

It's Wii U, not "Nintendo Wii U", goddammit.

Sorry, that's my pet peeve

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I am positive they are spitballing and this was not Nintendo saying "Also we have NX games there, oh shit did we forget to tell them not to tell anyone, oh well I am sure it will be fine."

NX games might be there! I don't think this is an indicator.

 

[AdanVC]

September reveal for NX confirmed. Connfffiirrrmmm-- ahh whatever It's just a rumor so not sure what to believe anymore.

 

[Doctre81]

I doubt NX will be in the hands of the public prior to early 2016.

Well seeing as how early 2016 is already over...lol...yeah?

 

[Obliterator]

Makes sense. If NX really is March that's only 6 months from launch. It should be playable by that point

 

[ShockingAlberto]

It's Wii U, not "Nintendo Wii U", goddammit.

Sorry, that's my pet peeve

Otherwise no one will know what the hell it is.

 

[NateDrake]

Well that's an easy prediction to make in mid-2016

So, as I've always predicted, Nintendo's so powerful they make the time go backwards!

No NX for you!

 

[Dreamwriter]

They are probably trying to get a lot of people to vote "NX" so that way they can take it to Nintendo and say "85% of our attendees want to see NX, so you should reveal the NX at our show". Means nothing.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Survey is meaningless. Not happening.

 

[Zalman]

I don't think that will happen, but I do think we will know what the NX is at that time.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Perhaps if there was an NX reveal beforehand, but I don't think that's the case...

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Tired of the guessing games. Nintendo can drop me an email whenever they're ready to show.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Tired of the guessing games. Nintendo can drop me an email whenever they're ready to show.

I am sure this greatly conflicts with their current plans of revealing it an empty event having told no one.

 

[gafneo]

Bet it will be revealed sooner, unless they want dead hype by announcing to close to the end of the year.

 

[MuchoMalo]

I want to believe! But WCCF is a clickbait site so they're obviously just reading too much into it.

I'm not buying it. I bet they made that survey before Nintendo said there'd be no NX this year.

No, they said no NX at E3 and that it's releasing next year. They didn't say that NX won't be shown this year at all. They're not going to reveal a console two months before release. I'm confident that we'll see a reveal before the end of October. I wouldn't be shocked if it's even before the end of Summer.

 

[Griss]

I'm not buying it. I bet they made that survey before Nintendo said there'd be no NX this year.

That's all it is.

Funny how much E3 is being overshadowed though. No nx, no neo, no SCORPIO... poor e3.

 

[DownGrader]

No, they said no NX at E3 and that it's releasing next year. They didn't say that NX won't be shown this year at all. They're not going to reveal a console two months before release. I'm confident that we'll see a reveal before the end of October. I wouldn't be shocked if it's even before the end of Summer.

In fact, they actually said that information on NX will be revealed later this year.

 

[Menitta]

I'm at the point where I don't care about Nintendo until I find out what the NX is.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Means nothing.

 

[Litri]

WAT? If this is true, Nintendo will definitely have their own showing before that date but I think the date would be too early.

 

[GamerJM]

Is this EGX's first year? Because if not I find it weird that I've never heard of it before.

 

[udivision]

Umm... this doesn't mean anything.

 

[axisofweevils]

Is this EGX's first year? Because if not I find it weird that I've never heard of it before.

Short for EuroGamer Expo

 

[Philippo]

I'd like to know how many clicked Wii U.

Only Kimishima.

 

[Woffls]

Is this EGX's first year? Because if not I find it weird that I've never heard of it before.

Eurogamer Expo's first year was 2008. They didn't start calling it EGX until like 2012 or something, though.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Means nothing. Eurogamer always hypes the shit out this event and will put Nintendo down like they are showing anything more than a guy holding a WiiU gamepad.

 

[Nemecyst]

Come on, Nintendo. Gimme that Gabbo.....

 

[Jon Carter]

It better be. The system(s) is/are coming out just six months later. It's time.

 

[ozfunghi]

Otherwise no one will know what the hell it is.

It's that add-on/peripheral for the Wii that enables you to play Wii games without TV.

 

[BitStyle]

I hope so, as hopefully that would mean the reveal would be before then.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I hope so, as hopefully that would mean the reveal would be before then.

For real! I already predicted it would be revealed September the latest.
