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.


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.

A Nintendo game won "best family game"? Get out of town! It was literally between the trio of Infinity, Dimensions, and Skylanders or "cheaply made collectible figures + a new cheaply made game every year to keep you buying the figures" games , Splatoon, and Mario Maker. If Mario Maker didn't win, Splatoon would have. No one else even actually tries to compete in this space. Nintendo won this last year with Mario Kart 8, followed by Tomodachi life, and last year's verison of the same Trio. Nintendo wins this by default.

So they won best shooter this year? They also won best fighting game and best racing/sports game last year. Does anyone actually believe that Nintendo makes the best shooters, fighters, and racing games in the world? I'd seriously doubt that. As for best multiplayer - play Rocket League. That's all I really have to say.

Other nominees for developer of the year: Bethesda, Kojima Productions. Both of which put out a single game that lacked polish. Not quite sure how this is supposed to be a huge honour. Nintendo also won this award last year, beating Blizzard, Monolith, Telltale and Ubsoft Montreal (the guys who made Assassin's Creed: Unity).

This awards show seems like a bit of a joke.

Regardless of anything u said, the poster I replied to was using the Game Awards as proof that Nintendo is irrelevant, winning 3 awards and being nominated for 5 including game of the year and developer of the year proves that he is either wrong or that the Game Awards aren't an accurate way to determine relevancy.



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

-Launching of new account system and services like My Nintendo.

-Launching of firsts mobile games.

-Expanding the use of their IPs (for instance Nintendo theme park).

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

-Revealing and (and very likely) launch of completely new unified NX platform.

 

2016 will be huge for Nintendo, and probably one of the most important year in company's history, especially after faile with Wii U.

Yes.. I was about to make a topic like this..  There is a very positive vipe in the air.. (if you are Nintendo fan)

- We hear things like NX demands high end pc hardware to run (and we saw in the patent how they can do that)

- We hear rumors that Nintendo expecting insane sales (20 mill first year)

- It seems they feel very confident.. and not want to show any about NX to soon (public statet that they dont want sony/ms to copy to soon)

- Both Iwata and Tatsumi have public statet that Nintendo will be back to wii like income very soon

Also like you said.. smart devices.. That will be insane big.. Nintendo will enter a +1 billion marked.. and like we saw with ds/wii and even how well the wiiu games are recirved.. Theese people like fun games.. Super mario 64 can still rach 100 mill..

 

I do very much feel that Nintendo know they will change the industri next year..

Okay... Seriously? Talking about the NX releasing 2016? Please wait to say that until they confirm it. Seriously.

Nintendo will say release date when they revile NX next year, but all points that NX is coming next years, and that's widely accepted opinion.

I aded "very likely" in OP.

NX IS NOT going to release next year.

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.

Yup, E3 will be great. :)

I can count 6 big titles coming to wii u in 2016 atm

And because Kamishima said "he acknowledges the Wii U’s problems, but says the company intends to keep making software for the console", so more game will be reveal in next Nintendo Direct, I think 


Better hope so, 6 in twelve months, no wonder the system is in trouble. 

 

Especially if one of those is Starfox zero, which is everything but a big title 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Its not on scale of Zelda U, but definitely is big tittle.

It's a medium release at best, but perhaps my intepretation of a big title is different from yours. I don't count Ratchet and Clank as a big release either. Doesn't mean it can't be a good title but to me not every physical 60 bugs release is a big release, for instance I loved Until Dawn, but it wasn't big. The big exclusive releases I count next year are Zelda U, Gears 4, Horizon, Uncharted, Street fighter 5 and Quantum Break

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.

-Well developers in same time will be develop game for two devices in same time. We already saw Square Enix announced Dragon Quest games for NX, you can expect Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch...so Japanese publishers will certainly be on NX, and thats already more than Wii U has.

-I dont expecting expensive console, expecting $250-300 for home console and $150-200 for handheld, and third party will certainly will be stronger than its on Wii U.

"Nintendo 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". How many 3DS owners have Wii!? Not many, so how exatly Nintendo will cannibalizing their own sales by offering their entire software library one on platform? Actually it's reverse, Nintendo will have bigger instal base for every their game than like before releasing games for just one device, and they will have much bigger offer of games on platform than before when they had separate offer for each device, also that means no more droughts and gaps between game releases. And If Nintendo plays good with whole idea, more people will buy bought devices than they buyed 3DS and Wii U.

I think it almost certain that NX will perform much better than Wii U, and Nintendo is making money even this gen with failure like Wii U is. So I cant see they abandoning hardware market even if NX dont perform like they hope, they will just try again beacuse they will able to that.
