I think they will fully acknoldge it's existence and maybe show off the hardware design (just what the console looks like) and maybe the controller.

All games, spec capabilities, major features would all be withheld until E3.

Kind of like they did with the Wii when they only showed the console design and nothing else. I believe Sony did that with the PS4, if I'm not mistaken. It's a smart idea to build hype and get people talking, in the loop for the console and consumer awareness.

None of those companies revealed those things an investors meeting.

NX information will arrive next week it just depends what information, we know information is coming because by law they'll have to present something.



I think they will have to say whether it's coming out this year or not at minimum.

Pretty much all the Wii U releases are now in the rear view with Star Fox Zero now out, there's only Paper Mario: Color Splash left basically if Zelda is dual-plat.

No they didn't, but what's that to say that Nintendo won't say something around that time. I think that they will announce basic NX information pre-E3 to get exposer. I think it's in their best interest to do so. I also think, and I hope that they have a real press conference this year.




The pre-E3 official announcement thing worked for Sony and Microsoft, I don't see why it wouldn't work for Nintendo either. If anything I think Nintendo may announce the NX concept and tease a taster of some launch games at an event before E3, but I don't think that has to be at the shareholder's meeting.

IMO E3 should be about really selling the games for NX, maybe an official reveal of what the device(s) look like.

Because it would be a terrible way to reveal a platform you're trying to sell. Why would Nintendo reveal their new platform at a business meeting no one pays attention to when they've specifically built a platform to make these kinds of announcements with via Nintendo Directs?

Just because they don't reveal the NX at the meeting doesn't mean they won't reveal it before E3. In fact, they have to. If the NX is coming out this holiday, that means it's launching with 3rd party games that haven't been announced for it yet. Two major third party Devs are having press conferences before Nintendo, and they are undoubtedly going to have launch games for it...

...launch games they will want to say will be on NX. If it's not revealed until Nintendo's E3 Digital Event, they won't be able to confirm the NX versions of their games. That would be very bad for Nintendo.

I think we'll get a Direct soon revealing the name and how it looks. It'll probably be the same direct that announces their E3 presence and schedule. But I now doubt we will get anything interesting about the NX at the meeting other than a confirmation that it will release this coming fiscal year.



I think we'll know that it will release this year and... that's it. Though I expect a Direct next month about the NX.



I have a prediction (it's a high prediction but it works)

I think Nintendo will announce the event for the NX and E3 plans.

It seems be agree on everything. My only concern is that announcing this news in the Direct might not be the most efficient method, which is why I've been straying away from talking about it. The directs might be one of the most watched gaming news methods on the internet.... but the media doesn't get a wind of it. You don't see it on the news or in the news paper, yet when Sony and Microsoft did their unveiling on a small scale, it was everywhere. The directs are great, but it doesn't reach a wide enough audience. It's focused more toward it's current audience and an outer influence around them.




No, maybe we will get some little details but nothing more.
