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. |
There is a very simple reason to not feature NX at the NWC or just at the beginning of their E3 event: they still need to sell Wii U and 3DS games and consoles, and if Nintendo starts E3 with NX, anything they say about 3DS and Wii U will be completely forgotten.
You may only be interested in NX, but Nintendo still needs to make money from Wii U and 3DS until NX launches.
Now, I'm not saying that they couldn't show the trailer of a new game for an "upcoming device" at NWC, but the actual machine and its catalog won't be revealed until later in their E3 event.

Obviously not.

E3 2011 was an hour and a half long with Skyward Sword and Wii U to announce (see any similarities?). It was no where near long enough to get a good look at the games coming to it. |
There are several reasons why there aren't that many similarities.
E3 2011 wasn't a 90 minutes conference, it barely lasted more than one hour. And that was with an orchestra playing Zelda to celebrate its 25th anniversary and with EA's Riccitiello talking about that "unprecedented partnership". Neither of those things will happen this year.
2011 wasn't the year Nintendo launched the Wii U, they only unveiled it and talk a bit about the projects they had for it. We don't know if Nintendo will follow the same strategy or not.
In 2011 Nintendo didn't had the Treehouse Streams, that has allowed them to talk and show 3DS & Wii U games with an unrivaled depth and coverage. They can focus the E3 event for the console and a couple of its launch games and leave the rest for Treehouse and later conferences/Directs.

An investors meeting isn't the place to reveal technical info about the NX.
We may get a confirmation of what kind of device it is (home console, handheld, both or hybrid), how much they expect to make from it in the next fiscal year and maybe if it creates more interest among third parties than Wii U/3DS.
We will know more about it before E3 for sure, but I think a full reveal will only happen at E3.

No it's not, but if they releasing it this fiscal year on investors meeting they need to said it what exactly is, when will be released and how many units Nintendo expect to sell in this fiscal year, and there is no much sense to talk about all those things at investor meeting if you previously did not revile or give any info about NX, thats why I expecting full revile, partial reveal or just oficial infos before investor meeting.
So if NX is really coming this year we will definitely have some oficial infos this month, 27/28 April at latest.

I don't really agree with you. Nintendo can talk about the business oportunities that NX presents without saying much about the device. What kind of device and when it launch? Yes, they'll probably say it. But don't expect more than that.
Investors want to know about the stock value and money, not if the console has a 4 or 8 core CPU, for example.
Just remember that funny investor from a few years ago!

If they want more broad, mainstream press to pick up and carry the news, they should save it for E3.

Like I wrote, I dont think there is much sense to say when NX will be released and how many units will be sold if nobody still knows what exactly NX is. For record I dont think they will talk about technical things of NX to investors, but if they already talking about NX to investors, they will give us some oficial infos before meeting with them.
IMO Nintendo will definitely give us some oficial NX infos this month, we will know for sure in near future, before end of April.

Mainstream press will pick up and carry the news whenever NX is revealed, huge difference is that NX will not be only news at E3, there is will be tens of news that NX would need to fight for its place in media. There is good reason why both PS4 and XB1 were revealed before E3, they had full attention of whole industry just for itself.

Nintendo has lost its position as a huge news object, compared the the Xbox and Playstation brands they are really far behind on most coverage. I'm not so sure a lot of sites and papers will pick up and run the story in any big way, doubly so if they present it in their somewhat awkward Nintendo Direct format. Nerds like us in here lap it up, but the interest outside is miniscule.

When you talk about when NX will be released you expect a date, I'm talking about a time frame like "this Christmas" or "second half of the year".
