Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo NX more and more looks like 2016. thing

thepurplewalrus on 28 July 2015

If it did come out in 2016, I think me and a lot of other people would lose trust in Nintendo. I mean, if the Wii U would have as short of a lifespan as 3.5-4 years, how could anyone know for sure that the same won't happen for the NX?

So long WiiU. Hardly knew you.

I would avoid buying NX early. Not even 3 full years into WiiU and games for its successor already announced.

Thiss should allow me to grab a WiiU on the cheap earlier than expected though. Hopefully it at least gets Zelda.

I don't understand bolded.

WiiU launched in 2012.
- I own 27 games, over half are exclusives, and another 25 VC titles.
- There are 5 others I still plan on buying; not including further VC content.
- Never ran out of things to play.
- It had full BC with Wii so lots of replay there too.

I really don't get how anyone can feel bad with the value of the system. If you don't like Nintendo games, then why buy a Nintendo system?

If NX has full BC with WiiU, then this is no different than buying a new phone every other year. Do you feel cheated every time a new phone model or tablet is released? Why are we all so stuck on the idea that a new model can't release until the old is 5 years? How many revisions of the same console happen every year or other year? Why are those not counted as a bad thing too?

I eagerly look forward to NX and the new content / ideas it will bring.


Indeed, I also can't help but love having a console in it's first few months. There's always a lot more excitement to things even if you get the inevitible drought after launch, I say if there's a few launch titles that catch your eye, jump in as soon as is viable for you.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Offcourse they are hard working on next home console, Nintendo always start working on new next console right after launch, but Reggies statement does not mean that NX is a home console.

Nobody from Nintendo still did not confirmed what exatly is NX, only it's confirmed that is a hardware.

Everyone starts R&D for the next console soon after they release one. What's interesting about his quote is the "we’ve also said publicly" part.
Even though Sony began R&D for PS4 right after they released PS3 in 2006, they did not publically say it existed until 2013.
Reggie is saying that they have publically announced that they are working on their next home console. And the only public announcement I know of that fits this, is the NX announcement.

Further more, Metroid's producer Tanabe said this: "If we started [Metroid] for Wii U now, it would likely take three years or so. So it would likely now be on Nintendo's NX console,".
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-17-next-proper-metroid-prime-would-likely-now-be-on-nx

He calls the NX a console, and more importantly, said that a home console WiiU Metroid would likely end up on the NX console instead. That certainly suggests that NX is a home console, as it doesn't make sense to move development of a home console game to something else. Especially without explaining why, since this was an answer to the fans, and it would be impossible for them to discern that he is refering to something other than a home console from his reply.

People can specuate in different ways, but to say that nothing suggests it's a home console is simply not true.
You're using the term "confirmed" in the end, and I agree that no one from Nintendo has confirmed this. But there's certainly comments that suggest it.

Iwata talked much more about NX than Reggie and he didn't ever applied that NX is home console. Reggie also didnt said that NX is a home console, he said "we working on next home console" and that relly is not surprise.

Metroid's producer Tanabe again did not confirmed that NX is a home console, he just said "NX console" that can refer to handheld or hybrid console.

I dont say that NX isnt home console, but we dont have any confirmation for that yet so all options are still very opened.

This.

 

Exactly what I did with the WiiU as well. Have a feeling the same thing is gonna happen to "NX" too unless its the handheld successor to 3DS.

We still dont know what is NX, nothing implies that is a home console or replacement for Wii U.

I just want a Wii U for US150... this is bringing that closer to reality

Well Wii U official price is still $300 so I don't think we ever see $150 official price.

This sorta makes it sound like NX is a portable to me.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Sure looks like. 4 years is a super short lifespan for the WII U though.

You think like people lost trust in Microsoft after original Xbox!?

I think 4 years is ok for commercial failure like Wii U, and Nintendo released and still releasing some of the best Nintendo games ever.

the wii u is not getting games anyway, so they should kill the damn console asap.

Doesn't matter to me what you bought. If this is a console successor why would I invest hundreds of I see clear as day that if things don't go the way they want they will just pull the plug early?

It's not difficult at all to understand my point of view.

 

Its the same reason I waited until 2008 to get my 360.

 

Edit - Don't misunderstand. I love Nintendo games, but let us just say this NX costs $400 at launch. I would want more than just Nintendo games, especially at that price point, not to mention I would want to know they truly intend to have 3rd parties on board this time. 

Nothing wrong with a cautious approach, even if you beg to differ or claim to not understand it.
