Although I will not share if anyone here is correct. I am a bit suprised and excited for your assumptions as the truth nears.

Why anyone expected otherwise, from a channel that has never done otherwise, is beyond me.
But then again, there are people who think Rosti's a legit insider based on nothing but feelings, soooo

WHO Said Rösti is an insider? I thought he was a dude who is into patents and stakeholder stuff...

There have been several here that hang on every one of Rosti's vague or cryptic comments in the belief he knows any more than the rest of us

Ask me about the GAF Notebook

I know, right? Really annoying. Anyone can have a twitter account and say anything.
When NoJ makes an official statement regarding NX or when they plan to talk about it, that will mean something.
Everything else....
People are bored and post everything NX related they find. That twitter account wonders even how people misunderstood their tweet:
Really I think I unsubscribe this thread and just wait for real news before I catch this madness.

Just ran into this on my linkedin news feed. Not sure if this has been posted yet, and I can't create threads.

Yeah it's been discussed, and no, it's not news, it's almost certainly a placeholder price and date. And it's likely been taken down because of the shitstorm it created when people found it.
NX is making us all go crazy...
No beer and no NX makes Homer... something something
Read the last few pages of this thread.

Literally every time they talk about how something "will be up" it's a video from them.
What happened is that people are crazy and take everything as news.

I'm sure they know what they're doing.

True but their explanation now is pure bullshit. They knew what they were doing there.
What the hell is there of NX news to justify a re-cap never mind a video? The last news and virtually all we have from Nintendo themselves is NX not at E3 and release will be March 2017. The end!
They know
I agree
Yeah, it's been discussed.

I was watching a rumor video talking about the differences between Tegra X1 and X2 and then combining that with this hybrid concept and how Nintendo loves to come out with new iterations of their handhelds.
The feeling is that if Nintendo targets the X2 or a custom version, it will be able to run basically everything that the XBox One and PS4 can run.
What if the reason they went this route is that Nvidia keeps coming up with new architectures in this series that can scale up to whatever the consoles can do. Meaning the NX will be just powerful enough to keep up with whatever comes out after PS4 and XBO.
NX can simply upgrade their architecture, play the same games, and still be a place for ports for the existing consoles, beyond this current generation.

Well I heard it plays video games and its releasing in March. It will have Nintendo published and developed games as well.

So fellas/ladies, what should we expect from the NX graphically? I was looking up the Tegra X1 specs, which I guess right now is our bare minimum point of reference for what NX should be capable of if EG is to be believed, and it seems that just going by raw numbers comparison, the X1 has almost 3 times the processing power of the WiiU, with the added benefit of support for modern graphical effects enabled by it's support for DX12 and Vulkan. Should we be expecting Xbox One PS4-ish visuals pared down a bit, on an *allegedly* 720p screen? Or is that too optimistic? And how well would those visuals scale to a full fat HDTV? So many questions running through my head lol.

So how's the rumours going right now, what are they waiting for? Is there any sane reason why they haven't unveiled it yet? They started mention NX 1.5 years ago. All this waiting is annoying, feels like waiting for Christmas as a kid but there is no date so I can't even do a countdown, gah! :/
That state of the rumors don't matter.
The end of the Quarter meeting at the end of October will clear most things up.

It it comes via Nintendo Direct, expect to get advance notice on Tuesday or Wednesday each week. Outside of that period, don't expect to hear anything.
So wait for October 4th for a Nintendo Direct announcement on October 6th. If that doesn't happen then repeat this expectation for every Tuesday of every week until they announce the Nintendo Direct for the goddamn thing.
ie. Check Nintendo of America Twitter each week. We won't hear anything official outside of that channel from Nintendo.

Reveal through Miitomo Drop games. Land on a candy? One more month delay.

"Why did you take so long to give us a reveal date?"
"We didn't! It was up in Miitomo a month after it launched! You all saw it, right?"
I'm expecting NX games to look like Wii U games, maybe slightly better to the highly observant. The Tegra X1 footage didn't impress me.
I froth at the mouth whenever a possible rumor comes up as much as the next guy, but that didn't seem much like fake rumor teasing to me. Maybe the wording isnt great to people not following them but they just do news videos and were giving an update on their next one.

Yeah, "hopefully" is the key word. I'm not sure that meeting providing info will be a guarantee. There will definitely be a comment about NX at it, but they could totally just say "We've decided to talk about NX next year, and as such, we will not be discussing NX at this meeting."

I could be wrong about this, but isn't most X1 footage running at 1080p? Running at 720p could mean the games visually push something more complex than that. But then you'd also have the issue of what it would look like on a Full HD TV...bah, speculating about what NX games will look like feels pointless because of how many variables there are. Those reveal trailers will certainly be enlightening.
Well, if it's just "more information by the end of the year" then we'd be in practically the same situation we are in now.

One day I'm going to wake up the reveal date will have been announced. One day.
I'm going to wake up one day and will have already missed the reveal
Not necessarily. You could die before then.
True. This moment is all we have. And this moment there is no NX information.
