NWC can't be counted in E3 conference time, they are a separate event and last year they were about 4 Hours long...

I know that the NWC and the DE aren't counted together but I utalizing the fact that if the NWC return this year Nintendo will almost definitely use it to promote the NX and it's games

Well, it depends, Nintendo might want to host NWC AFTER E3 so that they don't spoil any game from the event (see Blast Ball & Mario Maker in 2015) but still showing off quite a lot of footage and getting a big audience hyped. I don't think the Treehouse is the best way to deliver footage, still if NWC will occur this year then Nintendo might also want to start selecting partecipants ASAP or they won't have time to make the event...

Well even if that rumor is true that still leaves the possible NWC and,unless launches in 2017,Nintendo will most likely want to promote the new system and it's games

90 minutes is plenty of time to honour Iwata and talk about upcoming 3DS and Wii U games (with special attention to Zelda), and still have +45 min to talk about NX and its games. And then there is the Treehouse streams.

And because that's not enough, there's Gamescom, TGS (for japanese third party games given that Nintendo doesn't attent it) and maybe even a couple of Directs. That's plenty of time to talk and show NX even for a 2016 launch!

I don't see what you have said stops Nintendo from having the NX in the NWC if we go by last year and going with a 2016  launch then they will use it to promote the NX,all the games that were at the WC,apart from the VC games,either the were just released(Splatoon),just had dlc(SSB4 & MK8) or were releasing within the year(SMM & MPFF) and all of them had multiplayer and if we look at Wii U/3DS games that have come out in the past year or are coming out they don't have many that would be fit what the WC had last year unless the just have Pokkén and have SSB/SMM returning and have MTUS as the games they use,now sure Nintendo could have enough time at E3 to talk about the NX and the Wii U/3DS in 1 1/2h but why would Nintendo spent time on those 2 especially if the NX is coming this year?Also why wouldn't Nintendo start E3 with a bang and have people already talk about the NX and if SE takes EA spot in the conferance line up and both them and Ubisoft have games coming to the NX why not announce them in their on conference(apart from the possible BG&E2) and metion them at Nintendo's event,this would keep Nintendo in the talk before,during and after E3.

Having the NWC after E3 is possible and they did have the SSB4 invitacional after their conferance but NWC last year was both promote the games and their upcoming DE but it's possible but if SE takes EA spot in the conferance line-up and they and Ubisoft have games coming to the NX then I think it would be better for them to annouve it at their own event(maybe apart from the possible BG&E2 and maybe FFV if that's coming to the NX) instead of Nintendo's and just metion them in Nintendo event.Also did we know about the WC by this time last year I could have sworn that they announced the event in like late April but I could be wrong.

I hope rather sooner than later but they'll probably announce it at E3.

Most likely at E3.They may hint something before, but the actual reveal, showing the console, games, controllers, etc, will be at E3

This is what I think to.. a litle teaser before E3.. and then full reveal at E3

(But if NX is not a 2016 thing.. they may only tease at E3)

#JustGiveMeSomeNintendo  



The big question: If it does not show up at E3, will it still be released in 2016?

Does that make E3 the deadline when we will know if it is really coming this year (or not)?



I think if the rumours are true then maybe an event at the end of April or just wait till E3.



Not today, but the next day. I'll always be right! :)
