Do you think Nintendo's holding off of officially revealing NX ultimately helpful or hurtful to Nintendo?

Especially a port. If they can't get a port of a game they are creating in a playable state in a year and a few months (reasons for this time frame was given above), then people need to be fired.

This is all unrealistic once more.

You guys think these things are done way quickly. You forget that Nintendo wasnt planning to release a new system this early. This project started early last year when it was first unveiled to ease worries about mobile development. The hardware itself can't have existed as a prototype since late last year when rumors of dev kits first started. They have had 6 months to actually work on NX stuff, wich probably has been migration of Wii U projects. As i tire of saying... only retro and 3D mario team can have anything to show at this point, and i'm sure they don't want to show half assed stuff.

You guys are living the fantasy if you think they have anything ready. This is all beeing rushed and it will be a disaster. Nintendo is not holding anything back. They are desperate.

It is also unrealistic to think that Nintendo hadnt started working on NX before they revealed the codename last year.

Back in May 2014, Iwata said they plan to redefine gaming in about 2 years. Based on that it is safe to say they had been planning on releasing on console in 2016 since before May 2014, the launch got pushed back which gives devs certain Nintendo teams up to 3 years to work on these games.
