I think Nintendo Tokyo EAD is working on something amazing for NX.

Something else I find interesting is the article that claimed the NX was rendering polygons of insane numbers. This could directly link to the cloud based patent Nintendo filed. Nintendo has a lot to do in 2016, I hope they do it well.

Well thought.

I agree, the reasons they are holding everything back is to make sure 2016 is truly a great year for Nintendo, yes we had a bad E3 2015, and no announcements at TGA. However this may mean E3 2016 might be on par with E3 2006 and E3 2010.

Imagine next E3 with...

- NX
- Zelda WiiU/NX
- Super Mario NX
- Retro's title
- New IP's
- Hopefully actual third party support

Nintendo has a chance to make E3 2016 truly amazing and I hope they make it happen.

That would be a AAA show.

Bolded for hilariousness. If the rumors are true, development on the NX will be more expensive and time consuming than any other platform in console history by forcing developers to develop for multiple hardware specs at once. If true, the Wii U's third party support will make the NX jealous. There's no reason for third parties to take a greater financial risk on a platform whose predecessor sold absymally. Aside from that have no reason to think their games will be any more profitable than they were on the Wii or Wii U (seriously, take a good look at how many third party games made any real profit on either of those platforms) Nintendo has already announced its once again primarily focused on catering to its dwindling fanbase, which means little to no chance at this console appealing to new fans. You can absolutely forget this console becoming a fad like the Wii. Why are Nintendo diehards so convinved the NX will be astoundingly successful?

Expect an expensive console, that is expensive to develop for, with little third party support. Nintendo fans will buy one or both specs like they did with the Wii U and 3DS, except Nitnendo is cannibalizing their own sales by offering their entire software library on one platform instead of two, so many people won't buy two consoles because there is no need. Will it be a huge hit amonst Nintendo fans? Undoubtedly. Will it do more to bring Nintendo back into the mainstream of gaming? All indicators are pointing to "no". All told, if the NX is split amongst two specs, you can expect the platform as a whole to do 20-30% than the 3DS/Wii U combined. Considering the reach of such a platform, that would be a monumental failure.

Either way, the writing is on the wall. If the NX doesn't have the success Nintendo is banking on, I have no doubt that Nintendo will exit the home console space. With mobile gaming taking larger and larger chunks out of Nitnendo's handheld market, you can expect if the NX portable doesn't sell as well as the 3DS, it may be Nintendo's last foray into that space as well. It's not looking good for Nintendo, not at all.

I hope they knock it out of the park and give me an irresistible reason to buy a Nintendo home console for the first time since the SNES. If they do a bang up job implementing industry standards like account systems then this could be the one. The key, though, for me, would be the ability to play their great handheld console games like Fire Emblem on a home console, plus Zelda, Metroid, and other non-platformers.

The clues to make this work are all there, they just have to put them together. I see no reason why NX shouldn't be golden if they do it right. No, it won't replace my (eventual) PS4 but it doesn't need to. A moderately inexpensive system with every game Nintendo develops would be the perfect compliment.

I'm kind of excited.

Well, I guess in a sense, it will be big for them. It's gonna be big for all 3 sides next year x )

Yes it will be big but also dangerous, failure of the nx could lead them out of hardware business and leave them finencially not well off.  They will also be launching it in the face of sub 300$ competition that has its heavy hitter releaseing left and right.  

Zelda U is no where near that.

Personally i think they are quite litterly screwd, none but the hard ninteod fans will buy into the nx or any payed service and their competition will be a PS4 at its best.

Well, not so much for me, since I don't by consoles on launch :p

But I would definitely like to see what the NX actually is and when it will release

Splatoon beat games like Halo, Battlefront, Call of Duty, Destiny for best shooter & best multiplayer.

Mario Maker won best family game and was nominates for game of the year.

Nintendo was nominated for developer of the year.

That's pretty good for a company irrelevant to the gaming industry.
