Of Course, real question is when will happen, I expecting September-October.

It will have less of an impact then announcing it on E3. Directs didn't help the Wii U or 3DS much if at all.

Nintendo and the NX needs all the marketing exposure they can get. They need a full reboot of their console brand and a boost of their handheld brand. This doesn't look like a good start or solution to solving these problems.

Nintendo will reveal the specs of its machine? That's not the way Nintendo works. But maybe they are changing that too.

Like others have said, I expect an October-Early November event/Direct. The reason is that, with the paltry estimation of 800K Wii U consoles, it's very clear that they don't give a sh!t about the console anymore and by revealing their new machine in that timeframe they can try to convince some people to not get a X1 or PS4 during Black Friday and X-mas.

Something that they won't achieve, by the way.

God, Nintendo, why not use E3? T___T
