On moonless nights, some say that the Nintendo building reappears from the mist like a ghost, the haze rising around, and still swear that one day that they will return to tell what the NX really is.

If you wish to obtain the NX you must brave not just the haunted office but reach the heart of the mirrored, upside-down headquarters above it, and face that which you find waiting for you.

I cannot wait to own the new Nintendo console.
My WiiU has been the best gaming purchase (aside from the games on it) in the last decade or so.

The NX is actually part of Shinjo Abe's plan to increase Japanese military capability so they can start reconquering (aNneXing) lands lost in WW2. The Rising Sun nation will rise again!

elf help book ain't funny but Nintendo games are pretty fun. As are a lot of the PS4 games I've played. I play a lot of games on a lot of consoles.

Yeah, when I got a Wii U in September 2014 it reignited my interest in Nintendo and it was fantastic. A real shame everything fell off a cliff a year ago.

The sheer quality of the games it's had released for it trumps any quantity measures from other systems.
Their output has been slow but almost all could be considered essential play.

I feel like everyone has just been saying "yeah sure, the NX is both a portable and a console" without really considering that if that's really true, it's kinda crazy to consider that Nintendo will focus fully on one system and how great that system will be.

Absolutely!

The 3DS has a great library almost wholly separate from the WiiU. If they combined all their efforts to their supposed portable/standalone games (if indeed the NX is this hybrid people think it is), then I and any fan of good gaming should be really excited!

A system that could hold DK tropical Freeze, Yoshi's Wooly World, Mario 3D land, Mario 3D world, Picross 3D2, the Phoenix Wright games, the Virtual Consoles of all previous generations, Splatoon, Bayonettas 1 and 2 is almost a dream for me.

I've considered it because I don't think the WiiU is really worth a buy--neither is the PS4 if you have a PC--but 3DS is great. If the next console has as many games and the game variety of 3DS it's going to be pretty much the only console to rival the SNES in my opinion. Handhelds get excellent 3rd party support from japanese developers which is all you should ever really care about if you own a PC to play western games.

Yep, the unified development is the biggest reason for excitement. In the past its been one or two big first party releases per year for a given system. With this you are probably talking 4-6 high caliber releases in a calendar year.

The funny part about Nintendo potentially being able to prop up a system by themselves with just first party releases is that it may make it popular enough to actually warrant support from third parties!

But if the nx is an HD console they wouldn't just be able to transfer the content production 1:1 from the 3ds to it.

People are all excited at the prospect of 3DS+ Wii U game volume when really it will be Wii U game volume plus a game or two extra and lots of smartphone development, and you don't get 3ds games anymore.

Standard DVD size with Vita-size cartridges in there to just rattle around in there.

Though to be honest, I hope the estore finally really comes together since I do all digital. The Wii U estore was almost there and the social network stuff like fan drawings tied to games was pretty cool. Like, I unironically hope they make the drawing system more robust so that I see more cool fan art for the games while I'm playing them.

I bet the cases aren't gonna be regular DVD size or DS/3DS size. after both the WiiU and the 3DS had issues where consumers didn't know they were new systems at first, Nintendo's gonna do everything they can to make sure people know the NX is a new thing

Remember when Nintendo launched the 3DS and it was way too expensive and a lot of people thought it was just an upgraded DS like the DSI? And then Nintendo launched the WiiU and it was way too expensive and a lot of people thought it was just a new controller for the Wii? Nintendo was really terrible at launching consoles
