A splatoon anime can definitely be a great thing to announce especially before a Spla2oon reveal. I'm gonna say that'll happen whenever we get a sequel.
But if they go with the first Xenoblade, would the English dub studio go out of their way to get the original cast back? Some of the more high profile VAs, such as Melia's (Jenna Coleman), would likely have to be recast.Xenoblade and Splatoon would benefit the most from an anime.
Those franchises need to become new long lasting names in Nintendo's library, and any way of spreading the word is appreciated.
I see what you're getting at.Not what I'm saying. Its just noticeable that we talk about NX almost exclusively as traditional home console like GCN/Wii/WiiU.
While it's true that the Wii U is pretty much a corpse at this point, one could argue that the 3DS is on its last legs.I see what you're getting at.
I think it's more an ecosystem than any single piece of hardware, but I have more fun talking on the home console front than I do handheld.
I also think it's needed more. 3DS hasn't sold great for a Nintendo handheld. But it's still sold enough that software profitability exists. WiiU is an albatross of another order. Owners are lucky they are dealing with Nintendo here. XboxOne at WiiU levels wouldn't make it to year three, and we can see how Sony deals with that kind of seller in Vita.

Xenoblade X anime picking up from the ending of the game would be awesome to answer some of those questions from the ending. The next Xenoblade should be a sequel to Chronicles.
2) Kimishima says Nintendo wants to surprise fans with new ideas - not build on old ones. Nintendo will in 2016 release details on the NX.
Nintendo needs to create new franchises that compliments yet differentiates them from their existing franchises. Simple.
I'd release sequels for top 10 Nintendo franchises, while generating 10 newer franchises. 10 Nintendo titles a year for 10 years, and pretty much go through all the games that haven't seen any sequels.
C'mon, Nintendo! Show me you can release a game every month.
Zeldanime please please please for the love of god theres no way it couldn't be at least a little cool
The SMBSS cartoon doesn't count as anime
I bet that live action Zelda Netflix tv show happens even though they denied it after it got reported.
The NX as a powerful home console launching fall of 2016 with Spla2oon as a launch title and an accompanying anime.
The more they wait the more people will just buy a Xbone and PS4
Dragon Quest X for what?The more we hear about the NX, the less I think it will release this year. Which is a shame because the Wii U has like one game I want this year (Zelda). Thinking Dragon Quest X will be delayed and Star Fox I'll need reviews.
Ooooh dear.
Games take time to develop. We probably won't see "Spla2n" until late 2017 at the very very earliest.
So, Nintendo's target audience for the NX are people who don't already own an Xbox One and a PS4? I sure hope they don't expect good sales then
Directed by Hideaki Anno.Xenoblade X anime? Mechas? Awesome. Sawano (obvious choice) composing? Fuck yeah
Splatoon Anime pls
I hope Nintendo dabbles in "animation" and not "anime". Go to Pixar and say "Hey, what could you do with the Legend of Zelda?" or etc. please no Nintendo characters squeezed into tired old anime tropes. Unless it's Splatoon. Might work there.
Please remember that Nintendo has fundamentally changed its corporate policy to be more spontaneous about reveals and release dates to get the leg up on the competition.
So just because Kimishima says that Nintendo will release "details" about the NX in 2016 doesn't mean that they don't have a plan to release it in the same year.
The Wii U and 3DS markets are deteriorating rapidly around the world. Nintendo's core business desperately needs a shot in the arm...they can't wait another Christmas with nothing to show for it.
Furthermore, production schedules for many of Nintendo's core teams nicely line up for a end-of-2016 launch.
So I wouldn't count out a 2016 NX just yet.
The Netflix Zelda collaboration would be totally welcome. But Link needs to be silent though.

I don't think there's a door in the world Nintendo can't just walk through honestly.Anime is cheaper.
You gotta see if it works before trying to reach out to the big boys.
A publishing deal with Netflix would be great though.
Sure, but how much cash would they need to bring with them? :/I don't think there's a door in the world Nintendo can't just walk through honestly.
Assuming Nintendo sticks with the concept of having a mobile hardware, which undoubtedly they are, I guess we'll get the handheld aspect of the NX line this year followed by the stationary device/what ever the bigger counterpart is next year. I just don't know how to feel about that kind of product our imagination has created here by constantly speculating or interpreting vague hints, I would rather prefer Nintendo penetrating the market by establishing a software platform.
That's not how collaborations work. Nintendo owns some of the most well known IPs worldwide second only to Disney. Companies would fight to work with them. Nintendo has just never been open to anything like that for a long time. They are the ones who would be taking checks, not writing them.Sure, but how much cash would they need to bring with them? :/
Most of Nintendo revenue come from hardware so limiting themselves as software only company is never a good idea.
Animes? I can already see other IPs going the Fire Emblem route. :/ RIP Nintendo IPs.
An article on Anime News Network about it says the NX is supposed to be based on a "completely new idea."
