Nintendo NX: Hook, Line, and Sinker

Rumors regarding the Nintendo NX have been explored, hashed, and rehashed on various social media sites. From postings on Reddit, to leaks that have surfaced on forums, there’s no shortage of speculation for Nintendo’s upcoming console. So much so that, the mere mention or sign of smoke can cause an immediate frenzy. Today was no different.

The NX itself seems to be a troll. Nintendo announced the platform a whole 1.5 years before even officially unveiling the thing, leaving for everyone else to be caught up in even the slightest rumor.

The damn thing launches in 7 months, they need to officially state what it is already. They gain nothing by continuing to remain silent on the matter for this long.

LaWiiG3542d ago

I agree. I just don't know how thy expect to sit on what it is for so long.

LOL_WUT3542d ago

The announcement of the PS4 Pro, PS4 slim, the Xbox One S, and the highly anticipated X1 scorpio must've really made Nintendo rethink their strategy.

They're in a difficult situation. I just hope they can blow everyone away with the NX reveal otherwise it's game over. ;)

Bjorn-c-blocker3542d ago

LOL

Yeah, cause they must be terrified that the Power twins are so full of ideas that all they can do to innovate their systems is ad a bigger gpu while remaining with the worst cpu imaginable. 4k 12fps... the future mannnn.

Huguinho3542d ago

Yeah, because the strategy of micro and sony is so unpredictable that Nintendo finds it hard to counter, doesn´t it? just add more brute force to gpu... GENIUS!! poor Nintendo never see coming that guys. best thing for micro and sony is that fanboys doesn´t pay electricity bills.

wonderfulmonkeyman3542d ago

The slims and the Pro aren't threats, and with Micro putting anything and everything that the XB console line has onto Windows 10 for PC gamers, it's debatable if that will be a cause for concern either.

That's not to say they're bad, it's just that everything except the Scorpio isn't even a legitimately new console.

Nintendo's got a nice opportunity to come out swinging with the NX this time, because it'll be the first honest to goodness whole new console since the PS4 and XB1 launched.

Bjorn-c-blocker3542d ago

Why do they need to reveal it? To please some snotty kids on the internet? They have a Winter Holiday to sell for.

Anyway Kimishima said that they would talk about the NX in the Fall. September is only just touching the Fall.. the leaves are still on the trees.

blackblades3542d ago

Revealing it sometimes is a good thing. Look at the ps3 boomerang controller they reveal it, people disliked it and they re-did it.

SweatyFlorida3542d ago (Edited 3542d ago )

I MEAN, they just had a direct which pretty much had 99% 3ds games right? I'm thinking they are trying to milk every single penny from that hardware before announcing this (handheld). I'll bet they reveal it in January, and release in march, same "2 months before release" thing Sony did. The only benefit in spring that I see for them is income taxes usually being collected during that time in the states, but that leave Sony to gobble up all console sales this holiday 2016.

PhoenixUp3542d ago (Edited 3542d ago )

@ Bjorn

To drum up legitimate interest in the damn product. Like I said earlier Nintendo gains nothing by continuing to remain silent on the issue.

It's bad enough we have no concrete data on their next console, but they seemed to have all but abandoned their current one. There aren't plenty of big Wii U games or even a price cut this holiday to maintain interest in the console market.

They've been acting very indifferent to the console market lately in more ways than one.

@ Sweaty

When have Sony ever unveiled a completely new platform only a mere two months before it launches? Sony has always had the common sense to unveil their platforms close to a year or more before they release them. If it's the PS4 Pro you're talking about then you couldn't be any further from the truth. PS4 Pro is just an extension of the PS4 whereas the NX is an entirely new product unto itself. Comparing them is like apples and oranges.

It's just bad business to prolong announcing their next big device. It's especially worse to allow the competition to gain an even stronger foothold in the market, making it that much more difficult to gain more consumers for yourself. They need to unveil the NX this year so that not only consumers' attention during the holiday season, but also different publishers' and developers' as well.

wonderfulmonkeyman3542d ago

A hint of its codename and an official reveal aren't the same thing.
We still know nothing solid about the console outside of a few key games, let alone its real name, so we can't really consider it to be announced yet.

LaWiiG3542d ago

TheAttack is an awesome off-chute because of it. You should check it out.

ZeekQuattro3542d ago

She fell off the face of the earth. Wonder what shes been up to. Munn is still around in movies and the occasional series. Webb not so much.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3542d ago (Edited 3542d ago )

Not surprise.
majority gamers on the internet who goes on these forums, social sites and community eat up anything.

Whether it trending, popular anything that similar to those.
Not only that they lack common sense.

I bet they will believe a rumor about their family, work or whatever if someone randomly stated it on the internet. Instead of hearing from the people they trust, know or from the person themselves.

In this case people rather listen to attention seekers than Nintendo.
"Everyone hate Nintendo"

LaWiiG3542d ago

But why trust a gaming personality that gets to post Nintendo stuff? Seems fishy.

hiredhelp3542d ago

It get leaked soon as the console is eaither in production or ready month before shipment just like every console.

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma27d ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay27d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

gigoran827d ago

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger27d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2327d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.

They would be better breaking up what valued assets they still have and put them out to auction for the competition.
There is no more financial gain for them on any trajectory in the entertainment space.
