It must be simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking for all of these Nintendo employees seeing all of these NX comments. I'm sure they want to share what they know and I'm sure they find threads like these absolutely ridiculous but it winds up being a tough position to be in.
Be strong Nintendo employees! We share your struggle!

I feel worse for the Nintendo employees who are on the same side as us and know nothing about the platform.
Not disagreeing with you at all.
You can cling to the rep "reiterating" that more news is coming this year. At least that's still the position.
Of course none of that rules out a worst case scenario of a delay.

With regard to the reveal date and announcement thereof in particular, I would have just kept my mouth shut until/unless an actual news outlet reported it before Nintendo itself could announce it, like VICE Gaming did with the PS4 Pro reveal. People are just particularly sensitive/insane about that, even more so than with everything else related to NX.
Tbf Nate doesn't post nearly as frequently about rumors and when he does his claims don't center around a hype mindset "female link/mother 3/NX announcement next week".
I made a bet with my friend, saying that we would get some NX news tomorrow.
So stay tuned tomorrow for some official NX news!! Tomorrow is the day!! Hype!!

I will get a big depression, and 20 euros less in my wallet, if we get nothing tomorrow. All the wait is killing me slowly.
I expect something like this in the briefing
Out next generation Nintendo console.codename NX is still scheduled for a March 2017 release. The concept here is to release a successor to both 3DS and Wii U under one system and combined the markets. We will reveal the system to the public in January while focusing on Pokémon Sun and Moon and NES Classic Mini this holiday. Also we will target wider markets with Mario Run on smartphones this holiday.

Someone should make a thread with the WSJ news.
Sexism? You are trying too hard.
Nate Drake don't do stuff like this:

To be fair several insiders have said there will be news this week. Whether it's official news or leaks we don't know, but there's certainly plenty of time left this week for some NX news to drop.
jeez...

Not the same at all. NateDrake doesn't originate a fraction of the rumors she does. He also doesn't have a spotty track record as far as I know.

If it's not revealed this month, the thing is delayed.

Just stumbled upon a new FCC filing for a Bluetooth product. (Pokemon GO Plus is older https://fccid.io/BKEP)
https://fccid.io/BKEF
It this something we already know about?
It has the code name "CTR-013" on the top, so it's definitely for 3DS. Is it for that Mii game that was briefly mentioned after the last Nintendo Direct?

NX being delayed into next FY is more likely than NX not being delayed and still not getting a reveal date.
I will stand by this, and change my avatar to something really stupid if I am wrong.
Nintendo hardly ever announces anything on Friday; the last exception I recall is the Zelda delay in March 2015.
All due respect to 10k and that NoC email guy, but don't get your hopes up.
Nintendo still hasn't opened NES classic pre-orders and we're less than a month out.
what the fuck is going on over there
they're so weird

They didn't include NX sales in their current fiscal year forecast, right?

Wait, what news?
This is just the WSJ article repurposed.
Everytime someone on Twitter asks for NX news the announcement is delayed by one hour.
Worst case scenario is NX is cancelled

Hmmm. I'll be playing Civ VI then though (hopefully I'll be in deep for at least one day
).But the 3DS has no Bluetooth.
Actually worst case scenario is the NX is in reality a giant asteroid who will land on Nintendo's HQ and blow everything.

Nah, people are just sick of her being wrong. I complain about Serkan too but he knows how to hide the fact that he doesn't really know anything much better. I promise you I'm not a sexist.

Odd. Well, it's got CTR on it, so it's definitely a 3DS product. And they can build Bluetooth into a game cartridge that supports this -- remember Pokémon Teaches Typing on DS? The keyboard connected to the game card's Bluetooth receiver.

Wait Nintendo is skipping that investor's meeting next week?! That's bad right??

Who said anything about an announcement?
They've done press releases on Fridays iirc.
Maybe an Amiibo reader for Phones?
Says the guy trying use her as a scapegoat
Doesn't change the fact that Emily is attacked while Nate is not despite saying the same things or that critical people tend to completely ignore any of her credible reporting in an attempt to demonize her. Emily deserves criticism, especially for her attempts at drumming up hype, but her track record is similar to major outlets that report on false rumors all the time.

They're not holding a strategy briefing, though they likely are still holding a general results conference with a Q&A.
It doesn't necessarily mean anything, though it could mean that there will be an even late next week and they don't want to hold a briefing about strategy right before NX is revealed. That's the optimistic view I suppose.

As in "Heathcliff"
Let them be. Those comments would provide the magical sources that Nintendo need to fuel their fountain of youth.

Yeah. I will stay calm and play games, and look up GAF occasionally. I am trying to control my hype right now.
Hmmm. I'll be playing Civ VI then though (hopefully I'll be in deep for at least one day
I think this is the right thing to do lol Just play some games and relax.

I'm going for a Direct a day or two before the investors meeting, which outlines when the reveal will be. It shows they're doing something, but also gives them a point of reference for all answers - "As outlined in the presentation...". Maybe we'll get some kind of mini-event soon, with some teaser footage and details about development partnerships, before a full unveiling - box, price and all - in January.

That's some sound possibility... and CTR number implies it can also work with 3DS like the original reader/writer.
In fact, Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer seems to have a CTR-012 label while this is a CTR-013.

At least Rockstar will release RDR2 trailer tomorrow. So we can still have fun in case of no NX news.
