So E3 right now is probably
Pokemon
Zelda
Monster Humter
Paper Mario.
The one playable gamr is zelda. Seriously what else will nimtendo show?

NX will probably have its own event later on, I'm guessing possibly between August and October. 

E3 is just a phone in for Nintendo at this point, as is pretty much all of 2016. 

3-4 months more, not a full year.

Also, Zelda has been delayed to 2017 and the Wii U's holiday lineup is completely barren at the moment. So it's an empty 3-4 months more.

3 months =/= full year, and what's the point if there's no games?

With tons of great Nintendo games to play right?

What does nintendo even have for 2016? Big titles other than Mario Colour Splash (sticker star game) +  Mario & sonic Rio ?

and what is the reason for nx coming 2017 then?

I thought Nintendo doesn't do TGS?

As said already, because something went wrong with NX development.

Well, seeing how they have been dropping the WiiU like a hot potato since last year, I'm  going to say they're at least bending the truth on the 'no replacement' part of that statement.

I think it's as much 'not a replacement' as the DS was 'not a replacement' for GBA. It was though.

And seeing how they have ben winding down wiiU support and (seemingly) throwing everything behind NX I don't see how it won't replace WiiU, unless it's something crazy, like an add on. But then again, if it was, they wouldn't have to wind down their support for wiiU, so that points to it being it's own thing.

I just find it very interesting how they keep including the 3ds in these official statements, when talking about the NX.

I guess we'll see what it all means eventually, but I've got to say, not including NX in E3 and letting all this negativity brew for even longer must be one of the stupidest Nintendo decisions I've seen in a long time.

There's nothing to be gained by that. They won't appease WiiU owners with it, because they have no games for that clearly dying system and they won't appease the general public with a weak showing at E3 and a seperate console reveal that is likely to get less press either. Why not show everyone something new and exciting, even if it arrives in march instead of the holydays?

I hope the ARM processor will make ports easy enough.

There's gonna be a lot of crow avatars around here. i knew it. Nintendo is more likely to stick to tradition/their launch pattern than to stray from it. 2016 was too early.
