never. You will never get good software support on a nintendo console. Even wii was much worse then ps360.
almost no wii games in 2010,2011,2012. No wii u games in 2013, first half 2015. Nintendo cant support a console on theirselfs andi doubt they will get third partys back soon.


He said it would be a unified concept so all handheld & console games playable on either device, meaning u have to take into account both sides of Nintendo's output. Here is the list of Nintendo published titles in 2015.

Flipnote Studio 3D

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D

Pokémon Shuffle

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars

Codename S.T.E.A.M.

Mario Party 10

Fossil Fighters: Frontier

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

Boxboy!

Pokémon Rumble World

Amiibo Tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits

Stretchmo

Puzzles & Dragons Z+Super Mario Bros. Edition

Splatoon

Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure

Art Academy: Home Studio

Little Battlers Experience

Devil's Third

Super Mario Maker

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

Chibi Robo!: Zip Lash

Yoshi's Woolly World

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes

Yokai Watch

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

Star Fox Zero

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival

Xenoblade Chronicles X

That's 30 titles in a single year, 2013 & 2014 look pretty similar as well.

The NX will be worth it if it is based on the X86 architecture. If it is, the 3rd party support will be there. If the 3rd party support is there, the system will sell and it will last long enough to make the purchase viable.

So, I don't know until we get some real specs...



It is near the end of the end....

I'll wait for a new Metroid Prime.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Umm... well if it isnt a POS llike the WiiU is probably like 3 years on after it gets a nice price cut.

20% would buy it day one without even knowing if it's a descent system? I'm speechless.... Looks like Nintendo can literally get away with anything and some people will still support them.


That could be said about any system that releases. Look at the PS4.. That thing sold on hype alone.

PS4 had a ton of games at release and continued to get consistent software support, mostly by third-party, but everything counts.

There is no comparison between PS4 and Wii U launch software, you've got to be kidding me if you really think hype was the only thing selling XB1.

I bought a PS4 in August 2014 because I already had a very powerful PC by then, but for most of the public buying a PS4 or XB1 at launch made a lot more sense than buying a Wii U and for good reason.

1. You have to tell me the price.

2. I need to know the launch games.

3. Does the hybrid system come with the handheld and console packaged together or seperate.

4. I need to know what games are coming after launch.

5. How's the third party situation.

Sorry I don't know how anyone can answer this question with so little details unless they just blindly go out and buy whatever Nintendo makes or refuse to buy anything Nintendo makes.


We know it'll have Nintendo games, the whole point to buying a Nintendo system.

yes next gen Nintendo games will be games lke: "Zelda Goes To Town"  a mashup Zelda/Animal Crossing game,    "Hello Starfox"  a game about the life and times of Starfox and his friends from Hello Kitty,   Metroid Mania, a mini game collection that icnludes the best of SNES mini games in a feaux Metroid skin,

Samus' s Fashion World,  a game were Samus advises young viewers/players of the latest in todays tween fashions (brought to you buy Forever 21)



For the people that said "Nevar!"
How can you possibly select that and say you are a gamer? It could end up being the most amazing system EVAR! lol. Bias much :P
For those that chose it as a joke... well I guess I just wasted my time typing this lol



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

I probably won't get NX. I bought a Wii U at launch and out of all of its software only 3 were must-buys for me and the console is already ready to go out. I look forward to two more games on it but after that I don't think I'll care for another Nintendo console.

My reasons for buying Nintendo's next handheld is limited. I've lost interest in Pokemon again after the revelation that was X/Y and their handheld hardware is way behind the times. Their $40 games look worse than free games on smartphones. That's not good at all.

Same reason I would say if PS5 comes out I will get it, for me both companies have a great track record for me not to be satisfied given they both remain on task. 



 

When they have at least a real Metroid AND a real Zelda.
