They're extremely consistent if you allow a wide margin for some very vague details.

By the same token, there are a lot of sources giving shockingly similar descriptions of flying saucers with grey aliens giving anal probes and mutilating cattle.

Doesn't necessarily mean that we "know" much of anything.

Right, because Eurogamer, MCV, and the Wall Street Journal are all equivalent to the Weekly World News.

I would play this.

As for the alleged Nintendo thing from that German site, we did get a video from Nintendo, but it's just a thing about Pokemon (which you can see here if you want, 2:48 long). The day isn't over yet, so the chance of an NX reveal still exists, but I don't think it's going to happen. I've seen around September 15th as a reveal date too, but that was from a Wall Street Journal article that was mostly about the fact that the NX is going to use cartridges, which we've known for a while now, and just says in the relevant paragraph (emphasis mine):

quote:

A Nintendo spokesman declined to comment on whether the NX would use cartridges. The company has been tight-lipped about the system beyond saying that it would be unveiled by the end of this year. Analysts have said an announcement could come ahead of the Tokyo Game Show, which begins Sept. 15.

It doesn't say who these analysts are, of course, and for all we know it could be Michael Pachter, The Man Who Is Always Wrong About Everything.

If you can't read the article because of paywalls or whatever, the article is just "Nintendo is going to use cartridges" and then background information that, if you give enough fucks to actually read a thread about Nintendo consoles, you already know.

They don't, but they announce stuff around the same time without attending. Because everybody announces stuff in September. For example, tomorrow is an apple conference and a PlayStation event.

Then if you play a game like DK64 that has a classic game emulator within it...

but the WiiU isn't really emulating a Wii, though, too bad

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Nintendo announcing before TGS is usually an ok to the developers working on games to show their NX games on the TGS floor even if Nintendo themselves don't show up.

It's why like the second the Bone and the PS4 announcements came out suddenly press releases from like every company under the sun came that were working on games for it.

yeah, backwards compatibility is a better term I guess, but it was weird how some VC games could be copied across by data transfer and were launched from the Wii screen.

So I follow Krysta Yang on twitter, from Nintendo minute, and just noticed she's on vacation in Italy for two weeks. I feel like if they were going to announce NX they would have a Nintendo minute video soon afterward. But with the host on vacation they wouldn't be making one anytime soon. Though I guess it could be prerecorded already.

It's a remake, it has a series of minigames and shows off the single carriage multiplayer option of the DS that almost nothing else used. I think Mario Kart did but everyone had to be a generic driver but the person with the cart and they got lovely stats.

In the actual game you can be Yoshi, Lugi, and Wario in addition to Mario.

I like Nintendo Minute too, but I think you are overestimating its importance in the larger scheme of things.

It's a lot harder to sell a product to a customer who doesn't know what it is, or whose misunderstanding of the product drives them away.

People didn't want to buy a $300 Wii controller, and they thought the Wii U was that, so they didn't buy it. That wasn't the only factor, of course, but it was in the mix.

Assuming rumors for NX are true, the sales pitch isn't complicated. It's a game console that plays all the best Nintendo games, buy unlike other game consoles, you(r kid) can take it with you and play those same games anywhere. You(r kid) can even play with a friend, right out of the box, no additional controllers required.

AC adapter not included

As as they divorce it from Wii branding and form factor, and don't call it the New Nintendo WiiU it should be easy to explain.
