Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So I think it's pretty safe to assume Nintendo will NOT be revealing NX live at TGS 2016

Because they have a console to announce, and they've never done that outside a live press conference at E3.

Nintendo doesn't attend the event. Anytime they've had an announcement around the time of TGS, they made it at their own event. 

Yes, but the set circumstances for the NX is set differently. 

Just like how them announcing NX in a Direct is a completely new thing for Nintendo, showing up with that bombshell at tgs would be similarly a completely new thing.

Uh technically that's not true, N64, GameCube, GBA were all announced and shown first outside of E3 or TGS (Shoshinkai 1995 and Space World 2000). Even the 3DS and Wii U if you want to get technical were announced before E3. 

Fair enough, but they had huge showings at E3 prior to release (at least 3ds and Wii U).

I like Directs more than live presentations. I always figured it would be an awesome Direct as that has been Nintendo's shift.

I think you always get more detail and better experience out of the reveal videos companies have than their live presentations. Direct is just that reveal video x 10.

I completely agree they win in the aspect of being able to control what is shown, how it is presented, being able to add entertainment value, ect a live show does not allow for. I've always been an avid defender of full on Direct Nintendo. Even the E3's everyone else seemed to be begging for live events. 

That said, I still can't believe then not releasing ANYTHING for E3 about the NX in any form other than saying BOTW was going to simultaneously release with the Wii U version next year. You simply cannot duplicate the exposure. Now they're missing the last major gaming event too, I just don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Nintendo never attends TGS. People probably meant Nintendo is having their own press conference (like the 2011 one) near the date of TGS.

The circumstances are a bit different though, as they won't have a gaming event like E3 to push hype like the wii u did.

If they do their own event, we should know about it this month, because the invitation are going to be sent out to the press a month in advance.

Now if they do a reveal at an already existing event.
Gamescom in August
EGX in september

And that's pretty much it. There is the PGW in November in france, but it's waaaayy too late.

They could also just do a direct but that would never get as much press as a real event. They need to show it directly to the press, and make them play it.

Also, from what we heard about the device, it really has been tailored for the japanese market. So I think it will be in japan.

So my guess is still a private event in japan, at the same time as the TGS. If it's that, we should have a confirmation in the next two weeks



At the Apple Keynote in September, Tim Cook will announce "one more thing" and then boom, Nintendo comes around and shows NX with some partnership with Apple and the world freaks out and shit!

Yes, I'm dreaming here. I'm bored. Sorry.

I wouldn't be shocked if Nintendo is waiting for Sony to announce Neo first. Maybe even for it to launch. Then Sony won't be able to 'borrow' Nintendo's concept easily. Or it will take longer to incorporate into Neo.

This is borderline silly talk.

"borrow" the concept ????...... PS4 neo is not going to be a handheld hybrid console, with a mobile chip in it.

Sony might make a new PS VITA, to compete with the NX.... but I doubt it.  PS Vita 2, will probably never be.

Neither will NX, or anything else since a hybrid isn't possible.
