A little bit of an overreaction don't you think? I was about 50 / 50 on whether the NX is coming out in 2016 or 2017. I said in a post on an earlier thread under Nintendo E3 rumors, if their E3 performance is underwhelming it's probably 2016, if its overwhelming like hit it out of the park with the dual gamepad rumor on a previous thread, it would indicate 2017 soonest more like 2018. The fact that they didn't show their big IP guns indicates they are saving them or holding back. Holding back for what? I think holding back for the release of their new system probably coming out holiday season of 2016 to ensure the launch of their new system goes as well as possible. At least I'm more like 80 / 20 now that this will happen.

Ugh, stop judging the future by the past. If it were that easy, the Wii probably would have sold very little and Nintendo might be dead in the home console market. But it's not that easy and we don't know their game plan for NX. For all we know NX could be the greatest and most inspired console in gaming history. Who knows? But for the OP to say they won't give it a chance no matter what because of the Wii U likely having a less than stellar shelf life makes no sense. Being more cautious about being an early adopter makes sense. But not swearing off a system we still know nothing about. Get a grip people.

Lame. You should burn your Wii U at the stake, like us cool, unhappy Nintendo fans do.

The previous consistent actions of a company in the past over a long time often if not usually indicates the strategy behind the actions. There is a trend line you can follow which gives a pretty good picture of where they are headed. I'm not sure, but like I said 80/20 their new new console drops 2016.

If the NX is a home console and isn't launching with a 3D Mario, Metroid or Pikmin then Im not buying at launch either. However I love their handhelds so Ill continue to buy those.

Geez, the presentation wasn't that good, but you're overreacting. Pipe down will ya.

Best comment on here so far ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Our tastes can change. I had an NES, SNES, N64, GC, GBA, DS, and DS Lite. But since the DS Lite launch in 2006, haven't bought a Nintendo console. Totally a Sony guy now since the PS3. Not that I didn't also have a PS1 & 2....But to get to my point, Nintendo just doesn't interest me enough to justify a purchase of one of their machines, and hasn't in a solid 7-8 years. Hope they stick around, but even as someone who is no longer a huge fan, I find their tact a bit annoying.

The problem isn't with Nintendo's development of games. They are still number one in that regard. Even last year they won developer of the year. The problem is they are trying to carry two systems by themselves and they simply cant.  They can't please everyone all the time. Right now it's the Metroid requests that are going unfullfilled but the "create a new ip" requests are being fullfilled this year with Splatoon. Make a new Star Fox game is a request being fullfilled. ECT ECT.

i missed E3 what the hell happened to make Curl 6 quit?
