NX port rumors. Zelda of course, but also Smash 4, Splatoon, and Mario Maker.

Sounds like a starry-eyed pipe dream to me but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. I still don't believe they can get the multi-platform support that everyone else has, but it also seemed like that shouldn't really be as difficult as it has been. As long as the consumer choice comes down to getting a machine that plays most new things or getting "the Nintendo" they're going to have a tough time of it. That was acceptable back in the SNES/Genesis wars because the sides were a bit more even and either choice meant missing out on a lot.

Has there ever been a mid-generation console launch that was really successful? Assuming that even applies in this weird-rear end generation.

More rumors for the rumor mill:

The NX controller has a screen. I mean, that one has felt like a given for awhile now, but the bit about streaming games from your NX library sounds neat I guess.

Luigi's Mansion 3 for NX.

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?

Oh totally, particularly if they're ports with minimal new features.

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.

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.

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.

That reminds me, I really need to pick up Wii Fit U.

why cant nintendo just design a loving normal console and just make normal, good games for it

Because the Wii was a huge success, and Nintendo thought they could build on it. After the commercial failure of the Wii U, Nintendo appears to be doing a normal console, just one that combines the home and handheld market.

They straight up can't compete in raw hardware because they aren't a massive tech corporation.

Nintendo keeping to their shorter console lifespans could really be helping them out. They essentially get a do over for the current generation. Granted, Sony and Microsoft are trying out iterative consoles now, but neither are really going to upset Nintendo's plans.

Nintendo held its annual shareholders meetings.

1. When asked about how they don't have any women on their board of directors, Kirishima said that they have Reggie, who works with a lot of women. (This isn't a joke)
2. They doubled down on March 2017 as the release date for NX.
3. They said that they're holding off as long as possible on showing off the NX because other people are going to steal their super-cool secret idea. :jerkbag:
4. Iwata Asks is not getting replaced by Kirishima Asks because Kirishima doesn't know anything about designing video games.
5. Theme parks and movies are coming soon.
6. Four mobile (smartphone) games are coming out between now and next March, including Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing this fall.

1: Nintendo, please. Please Nintendo. Please.

2: Yey.

3: I totally believe them.

4: Miyamoto Asks, then? Or just some straight up dry rear end business themed Kimishima Asks.

5: 2018-19 for both, if I'm not mistaken.

6: My guess for the other two are Advance Wars and a new IP.

One more point I forgot to mention:

Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been in development for five years and has to sell three million copies before it even breaks even.

I'm willing to bet it beats Splatoon's install rate.

People are pointing out the last time Nintendo held off on revealing something on the fear of copycats, it turned out to be Mario's water jetpack.

So, I'm not saying the NX is a water jetpack, but

But nobody looks back fondly on the Wii beyond a handful of first party Nintendo titles. It is mostly remembered as a popular but short lived gimmick that spent most of its life collecting dust next to a PS3 or Xbox 360. Those extra 20 million consoles didn't help them in the end because nobody bought the Wii U after seeing how badly they poo poo the bed with software support on the Wii.

In addition to finding it strange that a second standard was created to mollify the success of the Wii, I have had a problem with the "Little White Dust Collectors" meme. Namely, the only person irl who ever made the comment to me was someone who literally never owned a Wii. It just sounds like catchy bullshit to me.
