Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo president: Nintendo NX is in steady development, no rush into market

Exactly why not just say it's not a 2016 product if that's the case? Why keep stringing along the 3DS and Wii U, if it's not coming in 2016, then just say so. 

It makes zero sense not to just say that if that's the case. And if it's not "rushed" then its likely because they damn well stole a lot of games that were probably supposed to be on the Wii U but got switched ie: next Retro project, next 3D Mario, Zelda multi-release, etc. 

 

Because shareholders wouldn't be too happy with that news. 

 

How is undercutting sales of their existing platforms helping their shareholders? 

It's obvious they are aiming this thing for 2016, now Nintendo being Nintendo it may get delayed (as they usually do), but I think they are definitely aiming for 2016. I will laugh if they opt to keep delaying Zelda so that it can be ready for the launch window of NX.

If that's the case, sooner or later shareholders will know it. Whether it is in January or June, the reaction will be the same.

No I think it's ensuring people that a 2016 release does not mean it's being rushed.

I think it's a combination of this and Nintendo trying not to kill the 3DS/Wii U market before the NX is revealed.

YES! SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT. So you guys can quit claiming 2016 release. The NX isn't something that should be rushed out so early, especially with the patents it might be utilizing. A late 2017/mid 2018 release is much more like it. By then, Sony and MS will be talking about their next consoles. Can Wii U survive that long? Maybe. It depends on what they have in store software wise. It's just too early for a 2016 release.

 


Like I said, it could just be him letting us know a 2016 release doesn't mean it's being rushed.

Maybe, but a reveal after a release would be quite foolhardy imo. All of these Nintendo 2nd parties, and 1st parties that are silent as hell are most likely working on NX titles. Games like Mario 3D (Galaxy 3) would most likely not release this year. Nintendo has to spend time understanding their new hardware to the fullest, as they barely understood HD gaming and robust online systems at Wii U's launch. At best, we'll get NX tech demos, teasers, and a hardware reveal. Next year, the actual release and games. Doing everything in one year would indeed be rushing.

They would have started working on NX titles in 2013 i reckon after Wii U tanked.

If Nintendo was forward thinking enough, they would have used a PC or PS4 to develop them on and then hopefully release the same architecture for their console so porting it would have been easy enough.

Yep. The next 3D Mario was announced for the succesor after 3DWorld by Miyamoto. And 3DWorld launched in Nov 2013.

It would not be rushing, PS4 was officially revealed in Feb 2013 and released in Nov 2013, XB1 was officially revealed in May 2013 and released in Nov 2013, neither of these were rushed.

Well, this could be taken both ways, but I personally think it will be a 2017 release, regardless if it's a handheld, console or both

If Nintendo was a person they'd be late to their own graduation, wedding, and funeral but I do think they are very obviously trying to get NX ready for 2016.

I wish they'd just come out soon and share all the secrets. Speculation is getting tiresome.
