Wouldn't an NX event be recorded or done live in the US? Like New York City or LA or Redmond?

I think that would make the most sense for an international reveal. Anything recorded in Japan would just be standard PR interviews with Nintendo's own developers, not something that they bring people in for.

The people of GAF believed that the September NX Direct would again come to save them... But the September Direct did not appear. Faced by an onslaught of evil, the people of GAF could do nothing but appeal to the Tokyo Game Show. In their last hour, as doom drew nigh, they left their future in the hands of WSJ.

What became of that GAF? None remain who know.

I wonder if Nintendo will keep the hardware 4k encoder and decoder built into the modern Tegra chips and allow 4k video playback.
Nintendo's been pretty big on courting streaming video content for their platforms (Wii, 3DS, Wii U) so I don't see why not. 4k video would be a nice feature to promote.

So we have reached the point where we are tracking journalists' vacation schedules...

NateDrake (joke?) and GameXplain peeps mentioned it.

It's a weird coincidence, but it's kind of silly to imagine a bunch of people getting together and saying "okay, to get past the NDA, let's just all say we're going on vacation at the same time".

Such a good video that was, up there with the aLttP one.

Natedrake said he always takes a vacation at this time of year.

The entire opening of WindWaker is amazing. Also really enjoyed Outset Island... that music score, amazing.
 
Yeah, this is weird. I read his tweet about going on vacation after TGS and was like, "wait, he's the Nintendo guy from IGN and is going on vacation when the NX is (supposedly) so close to being unveiled"?

You know, at some point, you just gotta' take some time off. It'd honestly be silly for him to base his vacation time around an NX reveal that has no set date.

Shigeru Miyamoto is in the US, Nintendo guys are going to Japan for vacation, deafening silence from previous insiders.

The stars are lining up. September 14th is the date, book it.

don't book it

Nah, I reckon 13th or 16th.

Book nothing.
 
What if Nintendo is waiting for this topic to be closed to announce the NX reveal date? Think about it, we've been getting new NX news, a day or two after, everytime a topic closes. What if Nintendo said "ok once this latest rumor topic is closed we'll finally talk about the NX!"?

im losing it aren't I?

I think everyone should just gave up on waiting for NX news and come to my place to play an exciting match of Animal Crossing Amiibo Party Festival, exclusively on Wii U.

Yeah, but Nintendo could take journalist to Japan to actually play the thing before the announcement. Then, when the NX is unveiled in NY, the press could talk about the games.

While he's the Nintendo guy, he doesn't do JUST Nintendo stuff, right?
That's right, he doesn't just cover Nintendo stuff. Previews and reviews games on all platforms.

I think he is just going as part of IGN's team covering TGS, then maybe staying there after TGS for vacation.
 
Well, perhaps all these people are taking vacations because they are aware that they will get busy again soon. Hmm.

Btw, I don't know anything. Just a conjecture.

His previous tweet says "Getting ready for Tokyo Game Show and then taking some vacation time afterwards." What are we trying to deduce here?

Sure but traditionally that's what August's for. Are September vacations a thing in the game industry or something?

Easy, big fella! Let's not get all serious here all of a sudden. I think it's pretty obvious we're just having fun with somewhat ridiculous speculation. Who knows, there could be something to it - if not, it's just a bit of fun.

Some people were speculating he might be covering NX stuff in Tokyo and vacation is just a coverup. And I'm saying I don't think he's there for anything NX related. Just the typical IGN TGS coverage of playing stuff on the showfloor, then taking a vacation in Tokyo while he is there after IGN's coverage is over.

1. Nintendo / journalists do something utterly mundane. Perhaps nothing at all.
2. Fans project their own interests onto Nintendo's / the journalists' actions / inaction.
3. Nintendo / journalists mundane action turns out to be completely mundane.
4. Fans decide that they're being trolled.


Do I have the process down?

I care more about Nintendo making it so I can get surroundsound from things like Netflix and such, and that won't happen without Dolby support.
 
The NX is like the industry's best kept secret right now. I'm still not convinced that the Eurogamer report is 100% accurate. It feels too cumbersome. I can't wait to finally know for sure!
