| UncleScrooge said: My opinion: NX will release in late 2016. There is absolutely no reason to talk about a console 2.5 years before release. The things listed in the OP are not indications for a later NX launch at all. Why was Zelda shown last year but not this year? Because it's being ported to NX. Why was Pikmin not shown despite being "almost done"? Because it's either a last hurrah for Wii U or cross platform. Shin Megami X Fire Emblem was supposed to launch way earlier but the developers struggled with the concept of the game. That does not point to a 2017 NX launch. It just means they struggled to get the game out faster. Why didn't we see Retro's new game after 3 years? Because Nintendo approached them to redo it for NX. In late 2016 the Wii U will be 4 years old. That's exactly how long the first Xbox was on the market when the Xbox360 reelased. The DS released 4 years after the GBA, too. This is not "pulling a SEGA" or "alienating the fanbase", otherwise the Xbox360 would have bombed hard and the DS wouldn't have become the best selling handheld of all time. |
Totally agree, not to mention that Nintendo will probably have some hevi hitters for NX launch like new 3D Mario and Retro game.
