Of course they're hard at work on their next console, so is Sony.

But this didn't happend only with wii u JR!There other two cases,which also is a better omen and it seems to be similar to wii u case,for which its successor was teased in it's third year(2015). Also in general,only ds has released in the year of its announcement(NA,JAPAN).

Dolphin(GAMECUBE) was teased in N64's third year 1999,Revolution(WII) teased in GC's third year 2004,the first was revealed at E3 2000,announced at E3 2001 and released in late november of that year,the second it was revealed at E3 2005,announced at E3 2006 and released in late November 2006,same story!:P

We didn't have a project cafe tease in wii's third year,then revelation in its forth year,and release in its 5th like in the the aforesaid instances,since wii was a sales-beast,but we got directly an announcement of wii u in wii's fifth year at E3 2011 which released  one year later(and a half)in late november 2012 as you said...So maybe NX revelation at E3 2016,annoucement at E3 2017 and release in late November 2017?

For one thing we can be definetly certain,the month of the release of the successor will be a November!:P

Back in january, you were called crazy, fool, troll to state this obvious end for the Wii U, you could see it since a long time , they announced almost nothing since Splatoon on Wii U, it's like i said, all the projects were moved on NX at least 1 year ago since developping a game takes at least 2-3 years, all the big next nintendo games will be announced on NX.

And Zelda will be cross gen, now there is no doubt

Nintendo.You are going to loose a ton of fans from the few that you have left if it is released in 2016 or 2017........
Your doing a Sega. A suicide for making hardware.

And you would loose me.

If that thing releases in 2016 I sure as hell hope that it's different enough from the other 2 systems that it speaks to its own audience and not the audience of the other 2, don't want that shit to mean that Sony releases a new PS in 2017 or something.

Sony wont.

And I hope nintendo dont design a consol "thats different enough from the other 2".

Spending 80$ to have a tablet controller like the gamepad for the Wii U was a horrible design choice.

Look at the situtation the Wii U is in... nintendo need to design a lean strong fighting machine, scrape every penny it can save, and just focus 100% on performance/price, and make sure its atleast upto the performance levels of the xbox one.

They need to go back to a normal controller.

NX will be handheld Wii U. So Wii U will go nowhere, because you can play NX games on it ! NX will also have HDMI and you will be able to use TV !

It's the Fusion. I can feel it in my bones.

Now its pretty safe to assume it will be announced next year and released.. I hope NX will fixed the disaster of WIIU ………

I agree it's likely enough that the NX in the way they've been talking about it means a home-console of some sort. However with Reggie now saying things like "early stages" and "much later", I doubt it'll release in 2016. I already always believed it wouldn't release before 2017, and I'll stick with that for now. Could even be 2018. This would also mean Zelda U is likely not a cross-gen title, but makes it even more puzzling they had such a lacking presentation at E3.
