Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Did Nintendo Annouce A New Console?

I was planning on buying a WiiU down the road and now I might wait. I sure hope online and ALL multiplat are on board.



Around the Network

They talked about it, but said they'll go into more detail next year. So it'll be a 2016 release at the earliest.



No, go buy a Wii U. No one knows when the new console will launch yet.



The NX likely won't be released for a good while, and we don't even know if it's a console yet.

If I could pre-order a Zelda WiiU bundle, I would right now.

If money isn't a huge pressing need, go ahead and get a Wii U.

Even if NX is a new console, and even if it comes out in 2016, it's not like it will hit its stride in software until 2017/2018.

And I don't think backwards compatibility is happening going forward either. So if you want to play these games you may simply have to own a Wii U or hope Nintendo ports them over time to the future NX platform. 

My rule of thumb is this ... if you can afford it, and there's at least 10 games on a console you want to play (either released or coming out soon) ... buy it.

If you're in Canada or can go up North, I'd reccomend getting the new bundle from Wal-Mart up there ... you get three games (Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land and a choice of MK8 or Smash) and given that the American dollar is higher the $299.99 price effectively becomes more like $265 or something.



You won't regret buying a Wii U later this year, now that the console has an extensive backlog of quality games. Just wait for the inevitable price drop.



Hmm, they did sorta... They just announced the NX, which people are not sure if that is a console or handheld. If you feel you don`t need a Wii U now, may as well wait to hear more about the NX before making a move.

The console is not going to be released at least until 2017, and even in that scenario they are not going to drop the support on WiiU. So you would have to wait like 2 years and a half if is a new console... too much time

And maybe is not even a console but a handheld.



just buy a wii u all ready lol
