NX officially has the least time between reveal and release of any Nintendo platform

I remember the silence right before Wiiu. Everyone thought that meant Nintendo Ninjas keeping ALLL THE GAMEZ secret from the world. And then we ended up with... Nintendo Land.

I hope the silence means something else this time.

Nintendo Land is great :p

There was also The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, NSMBU, Zombi U, Lego City, and the later but still revealed pre-release Bayo 2 and MH3U as far as exclusives go.

Hopefully it can be better this time now that they aren't focusing nearly as much on 3DS.

edit: I decided to watch the lego city e3 trailer again, jeez the screen tearing is rampant.

This thread officially announces nothing about NX.

So it's inline with every other NX thread.

how about somebody takes action and makes a thread with this idea I put in one of those closed threads with no info??

Sphinx said:
Some days ago I was about to open a thread with something like this as the title:

The "I am absolutely sick and tired of NX speculation and rumors" | OT1 | thread

Just to have one place to vent out frustration

But then thought it would get locked or ignored so gave up the idea

somebody do it already

There were nice "What we know about NX with sources" threads, with lots of info in the OP. Still eventually shared the way of other NX threads.

I think a lot of the frustration is coming from the fact that this thing is going to replace both the Wii U and the 3DS. As a result... Nintendo is slowing down support on one and outright ignoring the existence of another. There's pretty much nothing for Nintendo fans to be excited about right now outside of Pokemon.

Well, and Paper Mario and Zelda... and Pikmin 3DS.
 
Does anybody think Nintendo is doing a live conference? And if so I think they already have invites. If they usually get them 3 weeks out that puts it to mid October. Like I said I think they'll unveil it the first week, but three weeks from now puts us halfway into October.

Even if they're not doing a live conference media has to get an invite to play the NX.

I don't think they'll do a live conference so they'll be able to properly control the message to the public (contrary to what people say, live conferences do not get more exposure than if they stream a pre-recorded thing), but they will need to give media a hands-on either on the day or the day before

If we don't get wind of invites, I think we should rule out a live conference (or at least any day-of-reveal press involvement) by the second week of October.

There are some pictures too, mentions BMI on a Mii so maybe it's for QoL?

Looks like a projection system that can take irregular shaped rooms and compensate the projected image to look like it's still being projected on a flat surface.

The images showed an image being projected on a corner of a room and morphing the image using a checkerboard to compensate. At least that's what I got out of it. The PDF is in Japanese so....

That is the example but the patent talks about gaming. The general idea seems to be gaming wherever you are even without a screen. System would project the game onto a wall even if not a perfectly flat surface and adjust projection as needed to make it look perfect.

Oh crap where's the guy who said this in the other topic? The dude said what if the NX used a projector to show the game on the wall or wherever you may be without a tv.

I mean if the NX has a projector that would be cool... But probably too expensive and we haven't heard anything like that from previous leaks.

Not unless it's truly 2 systems and the dock gives it a power boost + projector
 
Another new Nintendo Patent has reached its allowed publication date. Nikki on twitter posted about it

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/WO2016147731A1.html

Good find! Looks like a software patent for correcting projected images where

A) the image is an irregular shape

B) the image is projected onto an irregular surface

and

C) the projection source is not fixed from a user's point of view (aka is mobile)

It's always good to see what hardware R&D Nintendo is up to, and it could be a cool feature for a handheld/hybrid.

Patent could suggest multiple devices. It specifically mentions a disc drive etc. If its related at all
 
She also signed off on that Eurogamer report that said September, so she's basically throwing shit at the wall.

Apparently not. This is from her twitter with a link to your post.

100% false. I signed off on Eurogamer's hardware stuff, but I never said a peep about reveal before 2 weeks ago.

I know people are desperate to discredit her, but comeon now

Of course, IF the NX had a way to project a picture "anywhere", that would absolutely fit the "multiplayer on the go" narrative. Then it would make more sense to use the 2 detachable pads to play with a friend... But hmmm yeah.. You do not always have a wall in front of you.

Yeah. But what if they're under strict NDA? We won't be able to find out until Nintendo announces the event then.

I think people like seeing an audience getting super excited when Nintendo starts showing NX games. I guess it creates more hype.

Floor?

Could you imagine playing something like pokemon Go where as you walk around with it you actually see things on the ground or around you? Probably silly but.

Maybe, maybe not. The fact that details change over time is why these things are called rumors not confirmations.

edit: apparently that's innaccurate anyways lol

Are we sure it will need a wall? Is there anyway it could project in the air?

Are they slurping from the L cup? Is this a metaphor? I only partially grasp Kirby.

She also posted this

And I signed off on Eurogamer's July report because...I said Nvidia was involved with NX back in May.
