| JEMC said: Your avatar tells me that you also thought that NX would launch this year, and the lack of Wii U software for this year also points to that idea. It's just that Nintendo "delayed" it to Q1 2017. Even Kimishima apologized for it! The Nintendo statement of iOS was exactly about that, the iOS, not the ifamily. What Nintendo was working on, in my opinion, was a shared OS with common dev tools to make their teams jump from handheld to home console game projects easily and faster. But sharing the same OS and dev tools doesn't mean sharing the same power, and devs have to know the power of the machine they are working for in order to know if they'll be able to make the game or not. There's no need to complicate things, Nintendo will launch the NX home console first, and then the NX handheld later, which means that there's no reason to delay the new Pokemons (or any other announced 3DS game) for it. |
Difference is I'm not a supposed insider or leaker, the's no Nintendo delayed it that's just an excuse people are throwing around because they guessed wrong or believed the leaks.
IOS would not come up if it's not having an inspiration on hardware as well as that's ultimately what it comes down to jumping from portable to home console is an example of this. No one is also saying both platforms have the same power either just that the's a possibility of a portable SKU, the also is a reason to delay or release Pokemon on it and that's to have a 10m seller available at launch for early momentum.
