Word on the street is the Nintendo NX supports a significant number of players. Fellas, I think we're in for a wild ride.

I get the feeling that they'll mention something about the NX announcement at the end of tomorrow's Direct, like "Mark your calendars because we have another direct (event?) coming, on September # we will unveil the NX!" or maybe just a vague "later this/next month we will have a Nintendo Direct all about the NX"

If not then i'd start worrying that they won't reveal it this month and maybe it won't be out in March, or alternatively it will and they'll just do it as a normal direct and announce the announcement a day before.

If it'll use flash storage like the Wii U, but with a different architecture since it's not gonna be backwards compatible at all, can we reasonably expect 256gb of internal? It'd still kinda suck but it'd be usable.

Given the amount of people that must know about it by now as well as the crazy hooplah/hype, that must be one scary rear end NDA that folks had to sign.

Every day people wake up with a new page of the NDA delivered to them via Nintendo Ninja's Shuriken, sometimes stabbed into their hands if they're being too playful with their info.

My dumb internet person guess right now is for a reveal on the 18th with some huge direct. Mostly guessing that date because there have been Pokemon videos every first and third tuesday of every month, so it'd make sense if the NX presentation also had a section of Nintendo stuff you can buy before March, like the NES mini and Pokemon. It's also a good week or so before their investor meeting so they can gauge interest and add "the NX reveal got a shitton of tweets" to their investor presentation.

I think by the time lowering the price to salvage it became an option it was already dead enough that they might as well push it under the rug until the NX comes out.

Disc speeds are ruining everything, if only there was another way :ohdear: some way of reading a chip instead, some sort of fantastical, magical format that pops into a console for faster load times that is also capable of holding huge amounts of data that are comparable with blurays.

Their last WiiU game came out today, so they are pretty much clear to announce it whenever.

I really really like this game, Paper Mario: Color Splash, by the way. I'm so glad I got it two weeks early due to them loving up. I have just about %100ed it and am in the last level now. I'll have to check my time on the game, but it's been a solid amount.

Pretty much. I doubt the NX would somehow get in the way of Pokemon SM selling gangbusters, and the NES Mini is such a different thing for a different audience that it shouldn't matter.

Still, if they think it'd compete with them for some reason, then, well, gently caress, the announcement would happen after Black Friday (25th of November) which sucks.

It's probably actually nothing and even a fake, if not then the NX is 300 bucks and there's also a 400 bucks bundle.

I'm thinking partial reveal tomorrow (name, concept, maybe images of the hardware), and an announcement of the full hardware/software reveal for next week or the week after. Would make very little sense to just drop an hour-long Direct with zero advance notice.

But at this point, I'd be more than happy with just a reveal date, because the lack of one has been the most frustrating thing about the past six months.

I'm thinking that, but first a tweet tomorrow about the reveal happening on Friday, then yeah just mostly a reveal and maybe a software sizzle reel to get buzz going before the full hardware/software reveal a week or two later.

A sizzle reel would be so cool for a week. People just analyzing footage, trying to figure out how things look so good, wondering what the hell some games could even be.

I'm comparing this to what the wii was actually like, and I'm all, a lot of this is bullshit lol. Expect some bullshit tomorrow.

There was a similar concept video for the Wii U that wasn't nearly as effective.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e3qaPg_keg

I'm expecting less bullshit since this is going to be five months apart from the release while the Wii and Wii U videos were a year and a half, when stuff wasn't finalized.

Ho boy the Wii U video was pretty dull, and the only hint at new console was how much nicer the Zelda CG trailer looked.
