Forums - Nintendo - What if ALL the Nintendo NX rumors were all false?? And the NX will be released in 3yrs

Luke888 on 01 December 2015

I don't see Nintendo going on with the Wii U for other 2 years, plus it's almost impossible for all the rumors that have been circulating to be wrong, maybe they are all fake, but probably the creators of some of them guessed exactly what Nintendo wants to do...

Given that Nintendo already said they're going to start talking about it in 2016, that is unlikely. We're going to see it no later than 2017.

Well let's take a look at year 5/6 for N64, GC, Wii

N64 2001-Paper Mario, Pokémon Stadium 2, Mario Party 3

GC 2006-Chibi Robo, Twilight Princess

Wii 2011-Return to Dreamland, Skyward Sword

Wii 2012-Mario Party 9, Xenoblade Chronicles

The last 3 Nintendo consoles had absolutely shit support after the 4th year, so why not just cut off those extra years of no support?

Exactly! and NX will follow the same path. Nowadays I want more value for my money than 3-4 year lifespans with little to no games. NX=no buy.

how often do you buy a new overpriced smart phone?

Exactly. 

NX needs to be out as soon as Nintendo is capable of releaseing it with their software. Holding onto the WiiU and 3DS is not going to do them any favours whatsoever. 


Funny, because they have lost me as a customer by cutting the Wii U lifespan short. 3DS is fine to replace because Nintendo have been excellent with their support of that, and although Wii u has had great games, I still think Nintendo could have done better with it. I am certainly not satisfied with a 4 year lifespan consisting of huge game droughts, it doesn't have me bursting to own an NX, and I'm sure there are others that feel this way.

If they're smart they have a countdown clock until NX launches in Nintendo headquarters. And that clock hits zero holiday season of 2016. 3DS is being clowned by smartphones at every turn and Wii U isn't lighting the world on fire with sales. Keeping them around for longer than 2 years would be disastrous. It might mean losing customers who feel a way about Wii U, but they can't just keep pumping out games to appease a few disgruntled people and lose money.

I hope it comes and I hope it comes next year. I had a blast with Wii U and I'm ready to move on. If the games are as fun as they were with Wii U then it'll be nothing but good times.

Dont get me wrong, I love my Wii U and enjoyed every minute of it, but Nintendo need to move on from these short hardware lifecycles. If NX stumbles out of the blocks are Nintendo going to pull the plug early on that too. I for one am not taking those risks again. Sony fully backed the PS3 even though it sold poorly at the begining, and the losses they took were huge. However they believed in their product and the support they threw behind it is why they are trusted by gamers and sitting back at the top of the tree again.


So u have loved every moment of Wii U but it having a 4 year cycle is too much to take. 4 years for a $300 device doesn't sound too crazy to me.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Yeah but that will make your money worth. Even if the games you are getting are ports, remakes and more Amiibos Festivals.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

PS3 was a disaster that cost Sony billions and it got to the point where they were considering shutting down all first party game development. If they tried to support Wii U like Sony did the PS3 then they would be out of the console business. If PlayStation was its own brand it most likely would have folded during the ps3 era.

Then it shows that you should not trust rumors on the internet.



NoirSon on 02 December 2015

I can see and short of it being a successor to the 3DS sort of hope that it will released in 2017 but no later then that.

The Wii U can still survive for another year with the likes of Zelda, plus potential minor hits like SMT x FE and Pokken on the slate. The 3DS after FE Fates drops maybe has a few JRPGs on deck like DQ XI and MH Stories but not much else that comes to mind.
