Great, I think I'll do that. I really want to try and level up those characters. No words on the Legends exclusive levels on the WiiU? I think they might never come   :(

Here's the latest Nintendo NX "leak" straight from 4chan :p

"A media event will be announced in mid April. Event in late April after Starfox Zero Launches.

- 'Nintendo Reach' a.k.a. NX will be a staggered launch with console holiday 2016 and handheld mid 2017. Comes with a standard controller similar to the Pro.
"This is the name of Nintendo's new console - From what I have seen the logo is stylized in a variety of ways - One of them is stylized in a 90's Nintendo fashion and the other in a Wii/DS style -The marketing is split between hardcore gamers and Casuals."
- Is not backward compatible with Wii U but games will be ported to NX through a Reach setting and Wii U setting.
- The OS is one and the same for the console and held, sort of like Google chrome being used on different devices. Some games are shared.
- Is cartridge based, similar in size to 3DS carts, but more rectangular. Carts that can be used on both devices and have red and blue markers. Carts only on console have a blue marker and handheld only carts have the red marker.
- Handheld is about the size of the bottom screen of a 3DS XL with a freeform display which will be marketed as "The full immersion" display. it has some form of head tracking.
- Only major things online being pushed in regards to online are Voice chat, cloud saves and My nintendo missions.
- It lies in between The XBONE and PS4. Powerful and affordable.

NX will be launching with flagship titles The Legend of Zelda - The Fields of Dawn and a new 3D Mario dubbed Mario Underground (title TBD)

"Takes place in Truffle Kingdom underneath our familiar setting -You can explore this Kingdom to discover "Tunnels" to levels and "Gem" coins -it has all the Mario world's we have come to know and love but with a subterranean twist to each - A new Crystal Power up which lets Mario turn into a drill to tunnel around and for him to shoot projectiles -This is probably the most Story centric mainline game yet with the familiar crew meeting their Truffle Kingdom counter parts. -Bowser is playable. - "A graphic I saw showed a cross section of the Mushroom Kingdom then subworld then the Truffle kingdom."

Also,

- A new Animal Crossing is in the works.
- Retro Studios is making a 2017 holiday title dubbed Nintendo's All Stars (title TBD) and is an action RPG

- What Kimishima said about it being a totally new experience was a load of crap. NX is pretty traditional apart from the carts and handheld console interaction.
- Split marketing - casual (handheld) and core (console and console+handheld)
- Reach setting adjust the game to be able to play without the gamepad, Wii U setting requires the game pad and plays like a normal Wii U game.
- Will ship with controller, console and 5 virtual console games, there is also a bundle that comes with 'MiiWare.'
- Scrollable wheels and haptic analogue are used for Drilling with the crystal power up in Super Mario UNDERGROUND and power up switching.
- Ubisoft's, EA's and Activision's yearly titles aimed for Launch.
- Console @ $350.
- Handheld Launches in the Spring of 2017 @ $199.
- High Budget and Retro styled ad campaign, using red and blue as color themes. No gimmick advertised in relation to the console.
- Handheld graphics described as 'jaggy Wii U games' 
- Mario is sort of like octo valley from splatoon just expanded.
- All stars is very amiibo heavy but you can buy characters for around 5 bucks.
- Virtual console is being heavily marketed.
- Reggie hosts the NX media event a sneak peek of Mario and Zelda will be shown there.
- E3 is a conference with prerecorded footage being filmed in a couple of days."

4chan thread

P.S. I think he forgot to mention that his dad works at Nintendo

I've noticed amazon.de is inflating the price of the Starfox first edition bundle for 70eur when the standard edition goes for 45eur + 15eur for Guard. Meanwhile amazon.fr has the standard edition for 40eur and the first edition for 60eur.

Thought it was pretty clear you'll only get the extra characters and weapons for the WiiU. No extra modes, maps, etc.

Before HW I wasn't aware you could have two season passes in one title. The DLC for this game is mayhem.

What an awesome daddy! 

Is this the first "leak" that mentiones cartridges? 

It is! Im not sure if its Nintendo or Koei Tecmo or both behind this........... 

Yeah, they never said anything about those levels, I was just hopeful that they might release it for the WiiU for the season pass. And, yeah, I thought the first season pass was great, but this is a bit too much. I mean, it's 22.98 for 10 characters and 3 weapons, which it's not too much for industry's standards, but I'd prefer that they have released ONE season pass which gives me access to all the content. This is way too chaotic.

Anyone play Splatoon later at night around 10pm - 12am EDT? I recently got back into and would love to play with others. I just hit level 20 and rank B- I think.

Not sure. What I'd like to know is who decided to port the game to the 3DS?!?!

Getting these extra characters with the original season pass would have been nice. But I am not paying for more DLC with this game.

As I suspected from seeing it in person, resolution is sub-HD; 960x720. On the other hand, it's a pretty stable 60fps.
