Hinted NUMEROUS times!? Pls tell wrote some of those things, I cant recall one single hint that NX isnt coming this year.

ii never said they were going to robustly support the wii u. the only times they have ever done that seem to be the second half of 2015. wii u NEVER had robust support. really think about it. ton of software in second half 2015, and thats it for its whole life. but what nintendo does robustly support are the communities of people who already bought their games. smash, splatoon, and mario maker get constant updates and nintendo is taking really good care of those customers. they arent just going to leave them in the dust. 

iwata talked about new hardware concept in 2014, but remember wii u was first worked on in 2008. im standing by this idea that nintendo is going to take their time ensuring a successful launch of their new hardware. they arent going to rush out a piece of shit with a 33% failure rate. 

I think Nintendo could have shown NX at E3 last year if they really wanted to, just a formal announcement, but Wii U and even 3DS are selling poorly, especially in the West, that they can't operate the way they used to.

It would like kicking an 80-year-old man in the gut, those systems are not strong enough to handle the NX being shown without what's left of their sales cratering.

Seriously, like November + December 2015 in North America is probably Nintendo's worst holiday sales since like ... 1995 when the SNES was aging and right in that pocket before Pokemon revitalized the Game Boy brand.

lol sorry.

2016 for wii u looks really barron gameing wise though... if it doesnt launch in 2016.... I hope its really f***ing early in 2017.

Miyamoto is also very included in Star Fox Zero development, so that will be co-development game, I dont think at all its tiny budget (game will be at least two years in development, and Miyamoto stated they originally start working on game on Wii), for games like Roads Treasure Tracker, Mario Tennis or Amiibo Festival we can say they had tiny budget.

But my points stands, people don't realize that last time we had new announcement for Wii U that isnt small project, spinoff or port was at e3 2014, basically year and half ago.

It will come this year and it will sell great

its true though. splatoon, smash, and mario maker are still seeing quality updates. 

But Iwata specifically mentioned a time line of 2 years to bring to market, who knows the NX concept probably has been in development for longer than that, likely soon after the 3DS launched, but 2 years ago is when they really started to focus on it, looks like. 

We know for a fact they also signed a deal with Sharp for free form LCDs in late 2014, these LCDs will only go into production this year (2016). Now we have a Nintendo patent for free form LCDs in a game controller. 

Again, another not so subtle hint at 2016. 

The technology of 2016 is pretty awesome anyways, you don't have to rush much, 14nm/16nm is becoming the norm. 

Also note the last Nintendo "rushed" a system to market it became their best selling system ever (yes, people felt Nintendo was rushing the DS to market in a panic move). Seems to me like Nintendo often works better when they have a kick in the ass and fire under their butt. When they are allowed to get lazy and sit around and work at a leisurely pace they often get into trouble.
