Might as well say the name of the person...

No, i don't believe it.
There are more comments pointing to a home console than a handheld. Just wouldn't make sense the "somewhere in 2017" for the home console - the one that needs to be replaced the most.
Did i say that saying the studio name was a bit too much?

Why should the home console replaced first? Doesn't make sense to me. And everything points to 2016 release of the 3DS successor. And two new hardware devices in one year? Nah...

To be fair, the 3DS is facing the same kind of barren 1st party release schedule in 2016 that you'd see in a transition year between generational hardware with the last big unannouned game for it probably being Pokemon Z.  To me, it just helps push the idea that the NX is going to be something that -- bare minimum -- has a shared library since both the 3DS and Wii U are winding down at the same time.

The ones that through a hissyfit and stopped making Wii U games, leaving the console to rely on 1st party alone. 15 games, 4 of them just dance games, no Assasins Cred  after Black flag, really left Nintendo high and dry for 2015.

I applaud you for beeing one of the few that still thinks, rather than just go with the flow. People in the internet already unilaterally decided that the NX is a new home console, more powerful than the PS4 and coming out in late 2016... with no evidence.

Yeah, its as unrealistic as it comes, but alas, they refuse to listen to reason.

You know what makes this REALLY sound fake? Ubisoft porting a 4 year old Assassin's Creed game to NX handheld.
If it were a Rayman collection of some kind (Legends + Adventure + Fiesta Run etc) - that may actually sound legit.

Liberation made me cringe. Rayman though awesome game ain't coming to NX.

Probably bullshit, for starters because it's 4Chan.

But this is one rumor I could partially get behind, I suppose. So long as NX is in part a home console, AND it won't launch until 2017 as I've been predicting/saying it should, then that part is great.

The only negative would be: I would personally rather have it be ONE unit that shares 100% of it's games. One unit that gets ALL the games that would normally come to home and portable Nintendo systems separately, in one device, that acts as a home unit hooked up to a TV, AND a device you can take on the go.

I would be far more in favor of the latter than the former, but so long as the home version of NX is bad ass, and doesn't launch until 2017 so I can squeeze one more full year out of the Wii U I invested in, then I'm fine with that I guess.

Oh please... Sony is hard at work on the PS5. R&D is done years in advance as you yourself admited. How can you conclude from that that a new home console is coming this year?

There is a home console, but its not coming this year. The Wii U is only 3 years old. The 3DS is needing replacement before the Wii U. Besides the fact that Nintendo's president said that the NX is not the sucessor to the Wii and Wii U. In another thread i was beeing told how we should assume he is lieing. Its all very forceful.

Actually, you can work this out just by the fact that it would be imposible to have a launch line-up ready for this year. Then we get more forceful sugestions of imediate ports of Wii U games releasing this year. I run out of adjectives to classify the idea. Remember that a sucessor to the 3DS needs software aswell and that the president also said they will keep supporting the Wii U.

But, no... its a new-gen system for yesterday with no-games. Go Nintendo! The path to glory!

There will be plenty of games for it. It's why the Wii U doesn't have a real Animal Crossing, or a new Mario, and Nintendo has phased out software development for the Wii U in a real way. 

If they seriously were planning to support the Wii U heavily in 2016/2017, you would have seen new 2016 projects for it during that November Direct at the very least, but again, nothing new to show whatsoever in a big way. 

It's kinda obvious anyway that Nintendo cannot support a discreet handheld and a discreet home console any longer anyway. So NX is very likely a shared library platform to a large extent. 

What I think it will be is the main Nintendo games (your Splatoon 2s, Animal Crossing Nexts, Super Mario Galaxy 3s, Mario Kart 9s, etc.) will be playable on both the NX handheld(s) and home console(s). The home console may have the bonus of being powerful enough on top of that to also handle high end third party ports, and that'll be the difference between the two more or less. 

Nintendo can't support two high-end systems (effectively) at the same time any longer, they can't really even do it with the Wii U and 3DS as is, going next-generation and bumping each one up a generation makes it impossible. It doesn't matter when the console releases and the handheld release, they can't support both at the same time. 

So effectively in that sense it doesn't really matter which NX device launches first. Once NX launches, it's curtains for the Wii U/3DS mostly. 

Doesn't matter if its a portable, home console, both or whatever. Even if we follow the logic that Nintendo will simply just make straight forward new platforms that are predictably in line, that means the next portable would be close in power to the Wii U. That means it will pretty much suck up all of Nintendo's dev resources as they certainly are going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at it early on just like they did with the 3DS, except the development resources to make a portable NX game will far higher than 3DS games.
