I think you are just upset. When we are upset we all say what we feel.

Sometimes we say something and later change our minds.

I haven't bought a Nintendo console since the Famicom (NES), and the secrecy behind the NX got me very interested.

That's because what's in your imagination is more compelling than what likely will be actual reality.

In reality it'll be a game console, probably on the toy-like side, just like every other Nintendo console before it, with some minor gimmick that plays mostly Nintendo games.

 

I don't think it will be toy-like at all, on the other hand I don't see it being a serious media-hub like the Xbox One. I see it being a gaming console focused on the gaming experience with adequate online social features. Time will tell though.

Less people having Wii U's = Less people to complain.

Microsoft received alot of criticism when the Xbox 360 launched just four years after the OG Xbox launched.

 

Nintendo is doing the same thing and the criticism is there but not as much.

 

Why is that?

 

In a more positive note. Delaying the launch to ensure the games are there makes sense. I also have a feeling the NX is going to be an amazing platform. As an Xbox only gamer I am very interested in the NX. In my opinion I think after the GameCube is where Nintendo went wrong. The Wii and Wii-U were not bad consoles, I think they could have been better with a few changes. Anyhow as a gamer the NX has my interest.

 

Microsoft looks to launch new hardware, a new controller and new features for Xbox. E3 can't come soon enough. Also looking out for NX news whenever Nintendo is ready. I think the wait will be worth it.

 

I have to beg to differ with the bolded part. People are saying NX is a flop and doomed all ready and all NX has is a release date lol

Uh, I dunno what forums you're on, but the NX has gotten mostly positive reception...

That's without anyone know much about it too. You'd think Nintendo would have more to prove.

Wii U still got games.

Not a whole lot compare to every other Nintendo System. It is pathetic. If NX doesn't sell right out the gate, Im not picking it up because support will be dropped.

Have you played them all?

The ones that interest me the most. It is very meh in terms of a Nintendo Console. Where are the big games like LOZ, Actual big 3d mario game like super mario galaxy?

I thought you were gonna say that NX was going to use always online DRM.

Almost gave me a heart attack.

Actually it was a 24 hour online check up. Which would stop used games which means publishers and developers will be more successful.

Not sure if it was a broad thing but most people I know/knew got the Xbox because Rare was going Microsoft and people hoping for Conker, Perfect Dark, Banjo, etc.

In the end, they had to wait for the 360 = buy a new console "soon" for Rare to put out games which they didn't like after all as all Rare games of existing IPs were changed in a weird way and the new IPs weren't as amazing to the gamers.
