“We will not announce any details about NX until 2016. I used the name “NX” during our joint press conference with DeNA on March 17 because we thought that our announcing the business alliance with DeNA to start a smart device business could result in such misunderstanding as “Nintendo is making a transfer to smart devices because it is pessimistic about the future for dedicated video game systems.” I intentionally chose to announce the development of NX so early because I wanted to confirm the fact that we are developing a new dedicated video game platform, that we have never lost passion regarding the future for dedicated video game systems and that we have bright prospects for them. Though I cannot confirm when it will be launched or any other details of the system, since I have confirmed that it will be “a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept,” it should mean that we do not intend it to become a simple “replacement” for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U.”

“Your question also included the “current notion of thinking about home consoles and handheld devices.” When it comes to how dedicated game systems are being played, the situations have become rather different, especially between Japan and overseas. Since we are always thinking about how to create a new platform that will be accepted by as many people around the world as possible, we would like to offer to them “a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept” by taking into consideration various factors, including the playing environments that differ by country. This is all that I can confirm today.”

“Taking this opportunity, because we were often asked if we will make any new announcements about NX, smart device applications or QOL at this year’s E3 show, let me confirm that we will not discuss anything about our smart device business or QOL there because, to us, E3 is an event mainly for dedicated video game systems. Also, because we have confirmed that any new information about NX will be announced in 2016, I hope you will understand that if you expect us to discuss NX during the upcoming E3 show, you will just end up being disappointed.”

Sounds... not conventional >.

I hope they know what they are doing with this

wtf did I just read lol.

“Nintendo is making a transfer to smart devices because it is pessimistic about the future for dedicated video game systems.” I intentionally chose to announce the development of NX so early because I wanted to confirm the fact that we are developing a new dedicated video game platform, that we have never lost passion regarding the future for dedicated video game systems"

Yes you didnt want PR backlash, or people thinking this ment the Wii U is near the end of its road... we get that.

"since I have confirmed that it will be “a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept,” it should mean that we do not intend it to become a simple “replacement” for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U.”"

Ofc its not a "simple" replacement... its the replacement over all replacements! since it ll be a 2 in 1 :P

"When it comes to how dedicated game systems are being played, the situations have become rather different, especially between Japan and overseas."

Yes we know you guys love to play games on the go.

".....we would like to offer to them “a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept” by taking into consideration various factors, including the playing environments that differ by country."

So it needs to be versitile enough to be used as a handheld but also as a consol, gotca, read you loud and clear.

Or am I just not doing this right? Still sounds like its out to replace the wii U and the 3ds.

Unless its like a really weak consol..... like a smartphone, that you can hook up to a tv + controller <.<

(people will laugh like mad if thats how it turns out)

Yep. Nintendo Fusion launching in 2016 with the new NintendOS (Miiverse integrated). Now the question is which one will come first: tablet, handheld or console?

Revolution type teaser :p

" by taking into consideration various factors, including the playing environments that differ by country."

Will it come with interchangable specs. I can't see Japan, the third world or China craving for a powerhouse, whereas everywhere else would?

“a dedicated video game platform with a brand new concept,” it should mean that we do not intend it to become a simple “replacement” for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U.”

Confirmation they're distancing themselves from the Wii and DS brand. The only thing I hope is that they keep the NX name for the home console. Its perfectly and will resonate with the masses in a non gimmicky way.

Why would there be a tablet?

Same thing many questioned about the iPad years ago, including me. Let's Nintendo decide that.

I wonder when we'll see this thing...?

Because a tablet is somewhere between a smartphone and a consol... but able to do both.

It could happend.... maybe every tablet sold comes with a docking station that you can hook up your controllers too, so when your at home, you can play with a real controller, it ll have extra cooling/power from the docking station, maybe play at slightly higher resolution when docked.

And when your on the go, you ll use touch screen of the tablet.
