Gonna buy an NX at launch because I am a consumer whore and I love Nintendo systems and games. The fact that it is launching with a Zelda game is a bonus.

Can't believe Nintendo announced an entire system just for Nintendogs, thousands of Nintendogs games, every breed of dog getting its own game, nothing but Nintendogs for a decade.

Making the console itself a robot dog you have to feed and walk every day was a bold but possibly misguided move.

That isn't true. Unless you think every 3ds game is a nintendo game like the wii u, I don't see how you can come to that conclusion. For the first part, unlike the wii u there are a plethora of third party games being developed for the 3ds. Second, developers who work on 3ds games have expertise in a completely different code base or whatever. And really, the 3ds is far from dying, there is zero reason why nintendo should kill off one of it's dominant platforms (handheld consoles).

NX will be fine if nintendo manages to ganish whatever they develop for it alongside third party software upon release. If nintendo jumps out the gate with a gently caress ton of games from all their divisions, they will basically have nothing else to release for it for a long while while everyone starts developing another game. They'll have to rely on third party devs to keep nx games releasing or suffer a drought, and we saw how well that worked for the wii u. Sometimes you need to stagger releases, though not for months at a time ala every console this generation.

More games at launch bad. Got it.

So I've been thinking a lot about a Smash for NX and if it ended up being a port of Smash for Wii U with more features and characters. Would there be enough time between now and the NX's launch to get out something like that either alongside the NX or later on in 2017?

They should also add Pokemon Trainer with mons from Gens 2/3/5, and Wolf, why wasn't Wolf in the game

Regardless of what the NX is, I really really hope that it isn't anything VR related. Is there at least some kind of confirmation that the NX is gonna be a gaming console and not like a VR Headset type add-on thing?

The only confirmation is that that would be far too expensive for a company like Nintendo to consider at this time.

I really can't imagine Nintendo making a bid for VR at this point. They're focusing on gaining lost ground, and VR is still such a dodgy prospect.

Miyamoto on an interview with Associated Press:

"In terms of NX, there's an idea that we're working on," said Shigeru Miyamoto. "That's why we can't share anything at this point, and I don't want to comment on the other companies. If it was just a matter of following advancements in technology, things would be coming out a lot quicker."

The NX is either going to be earth shattering revolutionary or a tremendous let down what with all the secrecy and hype and then *fart*. Can't wait for September.

Imagine I inserted a picture here of that History Channel aliens guy but he's saying "holograms". I'm bad at Photoshop.

They straight up said that they'll consider VR when it's main stream, and not bother with it right now while people are still figuring poo poo out.

If it's just a normal console with comparable hardware to the PS4 and XBone, people are going to go "Meh". If it's a console with a gimmick with hardware comparable to the PS4 and XBone, people are going to go "LOL Nintendo". I cannot imagine what kind of machine they could make that will really capture people's attention.

Then again, I thought the new Zelda had no chance of garnering the kind of praise it did before E3, so I don't know poo poo.

To be honest, a lot of people bought the Wii because it looked like a fun, active console. Wii Sports/Fit as a pack-in were smart decisions to attract non-gaming audiences.

I stood in one of those really long lines for the launch of the Wii with some buddies. I got the Wii but when I got it home and tried to update the firmware it turned out I got one of the consoles in which the networking capabilities permanently got hosed up when you tried to update.

I had to send it in and by the time I got my replacement I lost all interest.

Thank you for reading my story

Haha what if it really was one of those hologram type things

I had a dream last night where the next nintendo device used holograms, like it had the wii u tablet but the tablet could project holograms and I was playing a metroid game that let me view a holographic map of the world from all angles on the tablet thing and you could rotate it around.

I remember, when I was in college, I was working a lab about holograms. The premise behind capturing a holographic photograph is really cool.

Now you've made me hope the NX involves holographs, even though it's not commercially feasible yet. I hope you're happy.

Zelda+Pikmin 4 would probably be enough for me to pick up an NX at launch. Preferably there would be another game or two I would be interested in as well. Prior to E3 I was leaning towards not getting an NX at launch, but Zelda won me over.

I also hope the rumors are true that they are moving away from discs, loading times should have died a long time ago.

I feel like I was the only one who wasn't impressed by new Zelda. Like, it was an interesting new direction but nothing about it screams "console seller" to me. Seems like something I could just as easily play on the PS4 if it wasn't a Nintendo game, or the Wii U if they weren't trying to give up on it.

So yeah I was a bit surprised too
