Arrow Nintendo NX coming next March

In Nintendos latest financial report

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2016/160427e.pdf

Also, Zelda is delayed again, but will also be coming to the NX. Apparently no NX at E3... cause you know, typical Nintendo have no idea what marketing is.

Well this is a shock. Perhaps it will use AMD's new technology (Polaris).

I wonder if they know a PS4K is coming this year and that would steal all the thunder. Maybe even they want to announce it at their own event rather than at E3. Again a PS4K would steal all thunder if announced. Or even the NX isn't as powerful as the PS4K and they want to top it.

Someone on GAF said:

I literally am parsing this from a group text. My buddy works IT for a chip plant in Upstate NY. He claims (and I have zero reason to not believe him) that there is concurrent production happening for NX and a MS thing, I have no specs or details other than there was mix up between which slides were for which and the ones made for NX were intended for an "xbox one upgrade"
If this is true.

Edit: According to Nikkei : "Features, price, software at launch and other details to be announced by the end of the year". It'll have its own event then.

It looks like it's going to be both a home console and a handheld in one! It has detachable controllers.



Handheld that connects to your TV.
Power level is somewhere between Wii U and Xbox One.
Will use cartridges.
Using Nvidia technology so no backwards compatibility.

It's a bit crazy that this is out in seven months and we know next to nothing about it.

Tbh I think Nintendo could probably box and sell the bubonic plague and make more of a profit on that than they do on the Wii U at this point (much as I love that console)

I heard about this "rumor" when development was announced and was hoping it would be true. Had a feeling it would be, but it could still potentially flop though. A lot of parents are buying kids the handhelds. 3ds was up there in price point at first, but not prohibitively expensive to replace. This seems like it could alienate some of that market with the price point. I hope not though. I want it to succeed.

Personally, I'm more willing to buy this than a Wii U as it lowers my investment. The games are expensive as well and first party (the reason you buy Nintendo) never really goes on sale. The console experience for me is a major investment, not only in money but time. I have a hard time justifying the cash. I already have a workhorse for a PC due to the nature of my work, so it's easier for me to get something on Steam sales for "relax time" than to buy a standalone console, purchase controllers, games, any other memory cards, setup services.... gets harder to justify the money + time investments after years of playing the game.

Also Nintendo really needs to get serious about their store. They're behind the times.
