C'mon, guys. No need to lose our minds until the end of October.

The next two weeks will helpfully shed some light on what the NX actually is.

Well if we don't get a date for the announcement by mid October you can bet there'll be some freaking out lol.

what's everybody's dream NX reveal?

.- On par with OG PS4X1, powerwise and therefore with some 3rd parties on board.
.- New Mario concept (more like sunshine/galaxy, less like multiplayer mushroom kingdom party stuff)
.- Metroid announced, something, whatever I don't care, give me Other:M 2
.- New RPG by monollith, new concept, not in the xenoblade series.
.- Retro doing something awesome, AAA, with budget.

that from the top of my head.

My dream reveal is them showing what it is and what's inside

And when I can buy it and for how much
 
And they got burnt soon after, for the record I have ZombiU, Child of Light, Watchdogs, Splinter Cell Black List, Asscreed 3 all for Wii U.

I had Ass Creed 3, Child of Light, Rayman and ZombiU. I still maintain that ZombiU was one of the best launch games of any system last gen.

On the same note, Deus Ex HR was excellent on Wii U and Ninja Gaiden 3: RE did it's best to polish the cowpie underneath. I really wish that there would've been some more 3rd party support in those veins (as well as general interest from a lot of Nintendo fans) as I absolutely loved my experiences with those games.

Though I'm still trying to slog through Devil's Third... I guess they all can't be winners.

On par with OG PS4X1 is not going to happen, but I would take everything else (Metroid being a new Metroid Prime) + 1080p Breath of the wild (which I'm kind of worried it may not be possible) and I would be reeeally, reeeally happy.

They send it straight to my house for free to try it out. :p

But really just a bunch of Japanese action games that are shown. Really just want a Japanese company to develop a mech game.

I believe he used to post here and has some degree of Nintendo connections, but take it with a grain of salt. Not that "within the next month" exactly constitutes earth-shattering news, though.

I'm only vaguely familiar with AceBandage. I think he got permabanned as part of a preemptive culling of excitable fans prior to an E3, not due to posting false information. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I just noticed his avatar is some kid in a Finn costume wielding a Beam Katana from nmh.

That's instant credibility right there.

Oh that guy. He got banned during the leadup to the Wii U reveal, IIRC.

He says something everyone would say... maybe let's not give attention to another twitter account.

I remember Ace. He was a regular around here during the WUSTs. Not sure if he ever had any connections or knew any insiders though.

I believe you are correct.

I may or may not know something, but I'm gonna be as vague as possible so if I'm wrong I can just say it was a guess.

In the past few days I've lost track of the number of "leakers" on twitter I started to follow. One day, one of them will be right.

guys, something.....something is happening soon.
I've heard chatter going around.
And they're saying similar things.
Voices even.
I'm hearing a whole lotta voices lately >_>. Get hype? maybe, maybe not.

Take that as you may with a grain of salt

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
If nothing else, the fact that Yves is talking about the NX specifically as an object of interest in the near term during his investment meeting tells you it likely is a soon to be revealed product. Otherwise bringing up the proposition is meaningless in the near term and right now he's trying to shore up short term securities and "signs of strength"/partnerships against Vivendi's encroachment.

Of all people talking right now, he'd actually be one of the few who knows anything.

And please, don't quote the WiiU quotes at me from him from a completely different time and market reality. I don't need to waste my time explaining context and nuance.

While we're here, here's another statement from Yves on the matter, as translated by ZhugeEX

‏@ZhugeEX
Ubisoft AGM:

Q: Can we expect Ubisoft to generate revenue from game titles released for Nintendo's NX?

(Answer in next tweet)

A: Yes. Revenue will be minor at first. Will be present at launch. Ubi believe Nintendo will be back in the race, bringing a new way to play

@vagabondartist Translating from French is hard lol.

I guess they mean more "How much do you expect NX to impact total rev"
 
Yeah, all we want is the NX reveal date. Just some communication from Nintendo would be nice.

Lol acebandage. He's hard to deal with. Nobody on Gamefaqs even likes him. Either way I think 95% of believe October they will reveal the NX.

And they got burnt soon after, for the record I have ZombiU, Child of Light, Watchdogs, Splinter Cell Black List, Asscreed 3 all for Wii U.
Yeah. Atleast it shows they don't have hard feelings and they really like Nintendo and money of course lol.

They supported the Wii U surprisingly well, although the Wii U didn't support them back.

I always feel a little pang of guilt when the subject of Ubisoft of the Wii U comes up. I didn't buy any Ubisoft games on the Wii U even after hearing ShockingAlberto's warnings about them pulling their support. But man, Ubisoft is really good at making games that I find totally uninteresting. I think Red Steel 2 is the last game they made that caught my interest.

I bought Zombie U and I really liked it. We have to give it to Ubisoft. When it comes to Nintendo atleast they try to make a game that takes advantage of the gimmick/innovation of the system.

Red Steel with Wii and Zombie U with Wii U.

Ace started out on Gamefaqs as a rather gullible poster. He was a huge defender of Sadness and that other vaporware game that was being hyped prior to the Wii release.

He was banned on Gaf due to "Nintendo hivemind".

Can't imagine how much You will have to pay if you break the NX NDA x_x

Enough for them to get benefits from this all NX project.
Maybe that's what they're banking on if the hybrid rumors are true, and they understandably can't see a way to market and sell it.

I solved it guys, that's why Nintendo is so secretive about it and won't reveal it.

Didn't Guillemot say something like "I hope I can talk more about NX in the next weeks or months" like today?

Or did I imagine that?
