So, I am back after being banned.

First, I am sorry for ofending everyone that got offended by me, it sure wasn´t my intention, but I am very sorry and will do my best to behave much better from now on. Forgive and you shall be forgiven.

Anyways, I am no longer expecting the NX reveal this year.

It seems to me Nintendo will pull a Apple move and show the thing 3 or 4 weeks before it hits the market. So now I expect the reveal at february, no sooner.

That said, there are a few more interesting leaks to share. Some of these you guys talked about already, but I was banned so I can not know better.

1 - First, the projector device:

It seems amazing, this is what I call gaming on the go, you don´t even need a TV. You can even stream netflix to a wall. Very cool. People like me, that own only one TV would really benefit of that. Or we could take it to a hotel or motel, in a trip, pretty amazing.

But it seems very expensive, if this thing is not a acessory then I say to you guys that the Nintendo NX will slay, SLAY.

The possibilities are almost infinite with this thing, take a dev with a little bit of creativity and this could change gaming forever. Also, it looks like IlumiiRoom from MS, which was something that impressed me to no end.

2 - Foxconn trialling production of Nintendo NX.

To be honest I though the thing was already being mass produced. The article says that:

Annual production of Nintendo NX is estimated at 9.5-10 million units, the sources said.

So if this is still in trial phase, how could they aim for a march release? I say to you: expect droughts or expect delays.

3 - NINTENDO NX 'FANTASTIC', WILL OFFER 'DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE' TO OTHER CONSOLES - UBISOFT CEO

This tells me that there is yet another piece of the puzzle yet to be revealed, maybe a little extra something the NX will have. And frankly, for what I have seem now, this thing is already a home run.

He says it "will be easy to use for all gamers", very interesting.

Also, ZombiU2 confirmed... Sort of...

So, for those of us that do not go insane waiting, 2017 will be amazing.

Those, like me, expecting a soon reveal, are out of luck.

Nintendo has no reason to hype the NX right now, because they want us to buy their current stuff, specially, at hollydays even, this:


Also, stocks are ridding high in the Mobile tidal waves of Polemon Go, acessories and, Nintendo hopes, Mario Run. So, they have a brand new cash cow.

We better find another hobby. May I suggest playing video games?



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Why do we need to be forgiven, again?

You, I do not know. Me, because I do stupid things all the time. It is one stupid thing after another, I tell you. Trying to get better, but it is still a long road ahead. =)

If its in production this fall, there's a good chance someone from Foxconn will leak it eventually, so Nintendo kinda has to consider that.

I agree, but if they can only produce 1-2 million a month, what else should they do? Imagine what a disaster this would be if they really have a amazing desirable product and do not have the stock?

Yeah, this is one of the bigger reasons why I think there will be a reveal sooner rather than later.  Nintendo has been keeping this thing a secret for so long and want to reveal it on their terms.  It's going to be hard to hold that off till 2017 when it's about to go into mass production at foxconn where secrets go to die.



I'm kinda iffy on the projector thing. Yeah it would be neat to use in a pinch I suppose, but most people have multiple TVs, and even if you're travelling, a hotel has a TV. That and it probably would be a low resolution, eat battery life like crazy, and could only be used in a darkened environment.

I dunno. I hope Nintendo isn't banking the farm on that.



I think the projector thing is another project entirely. It won't be an integral part of the NX. If I had to guess, they are trying to make something alternative to VR with that. What exactly, I don't know.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Typical production path for a console is 3 months of trials and 3 months of full production before launch.   This actually helps solidify the March launch date.

I am sold on the march date for the release. But I am thinking Iphone7 right now, Apple revealed 2 or 3 weeks before it was on the market, even less in some places. 

I think Nintendo intends to do that, but I think they do not understand how the mind of gamers work, if we get anxious, we will buy whatever to calm us down. And whatever is Ps4 Pro and Scorpio, the Lord knows what else, PSVR even.

If they do not give us a bone, they risk losing a good chunk of the hardcore gamers. Really hardcore, not Call of Duty hardcore. I mean, the people that spend rivers of money on gaming.

You could be right, Ilumiroom neve saw the light of the day...
