Of Course, launching of new product is always risky, but definitely huge year in same time.

Thanks for throwing my hopes for the Wii U down the shitter. NX IT IS! WOOHOO!

I couldn't careless about the new Nintendo Account system

Finally, people will purchase digital games on Nintendo platform with confident their games won't dissapear if one day their console/handheld is broken or lost

I hope 2016 mark the year of Nintendo's big return.

They will launch NX in 2016 for sure. If you look at the game awards nominees, you will notice how irrelevant Nintendo became to the overall gaming industry. They have to change that asap or they can shut down operation.

Well even with this years weak games, they taked two prizes.

"-Launch of biggest and probably most anticipated Nintendo game ever, Zelda U."

Methinks you've forgotten Super Mario 3. Heck, probably can throw Super Mario World, Link to the Past, Mario 64 and Ocarina on that list too.

Ocarina took years as well, except we'd never seen a zelda in 3d. I'm not sure this one compares.

Nintendo 3DS still doing pretty good, upcoming games for 3DS in 2016 is pretty solid, except the Wii U

We could say same thing about PS4 and Vita's Sony

So what's the diffirences between them ? Shoud they shut down their operations ?

P/S: Handheld is more popular in JP than the West, so I can see why you take the console more seriously than the handheld

I'm not sure Zelda U is the most anticipated game in the franchise. Twilight Princess had a lot more hype from what I remembe but it also had a bigger install base, maybe this will change if it gets announced for the NX.

I didn't, back in that age there was not internet so people had very little info about games in development, majority of people find out about new game only when is released. That can't be compared at all with modern age where almost everybody know anything.
