I am more angry that Animal Crossing was delayed. They better have a Zelda BotW/Animal crossing NX starter pack now.

It's funny, traditional platforming games don't really work that well on a touch screen, but people will buy the game anyway because it has Mario. Rhythm games work a lot better, but nobody buys them.

Most of the time my phone gaming happens in public places and I have the sound down low, if on at all. Not great for rhythm games.

It has a car jack, because again the NX is a car.

Doesn't come with jumper cables though, 'cause Nintendo.

Japanese analysts still think NX will be revealed next week, unless it isn't, I guess?

I guess it's really possible whenever. Nintendo only gives notice about a direct within 24 - 48 hours of the direct typically. Hopefully the analysts are right about next week.

Nintendo is unanalyzable. You can wager their future performance, but no analyst is good at guessing what they are going to do or when they're going to do it.

Nintendo lets Reggie Fils-Aime out of his box. He blinks his eyes and sees his shadow. Everyone collectively agrees to 6 more weeks of speculation.

To be fair, analysts *sometimes* have access to legit inside info.

More often, though, they're just speculating based on publicly reported information.

I saw an analyst say in an article today that Nintendo would have trouble competing with the other consoles because they have digital stores where you can download games.

If you're referring to the WSJ article, it was fairly clear in context that that paragraph was referring to Nintendo's lack of account-based online, though it could have been worded better.

As an analyst myself I am assuming they are fixing that with the next system they release.

Based on my intensive research and analysis process, I can say with 95% accuracy that Nintendo is working on an unannounced project involving Mario.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
I'm placing my bet that Nintendo doesn't talk about the NX until 3 months after it's been released. When reporters bring it up before then, Reggie will just punch them in the throat and walk away.

At this point, this looks to be the most logical analysis I've seen to date.

Maybe the NX is actually a replacement NDS, or 3DS or whatever the current portable is, but having a much better set of processor and graphics hardware AND an HDMI port so you can use it with your TV?

Heck, just merge the WiiU replacement and next portable and have one product line only?

I see people mad if the headphone jack is on the bottom. Isn't that the best spot? If it's on the top you have to wrap it behind the thing and have less slack

If it's on the bottom, you can't rest it on a flat surface comfortably and evenly when using headphones.

The NX will have two headphone jacks instead of just one. You might think it's superfluous, but it'll revolutionize the video game industry.
