Yeah, only one example of doing PR right. And that was 4 months ago.

Read my post again. They don't have to tell shit. They just have to make a little signal (with a joke for a example) that they are aware of the fans demands, instead they keep posting irrelevant stuff nobody cares about. That makes angry.

Without having any insider knowledge of Nintendo, I have to agree with that assessment. NoC had that one site pull a completely innocuous quote about NX probably being revealed in a Direct, and Kevin Pereira said that Nintendo PR contacted him within minutes of his "NX reveal coming tomorrow" joke tweets last month.

Do you remember where did Kevin said that? I'd be interesting in seeing/hearing that

I know no one still knows, but do you think EA will bring FIFA 17 on NX? I mean the console wil be almost as powerful as Xbox One, so a lower resolution version of that game wouldn't be hard to achieve

I've heard (although I have nothing to back it up with) that EA is obliged to make at least one FIFA game for any gaming platform.

To be honest, that quote was explicitly off the record ("Before we begin..."), so it wasn't very nice from the reporter to leave it in the interview.

I will say, next week seems like a better time to announce anything, after all today is the presidential debate and news would get buried.

That said, Emily´s games rumors got me foaming through the mouth. If this thing gets announced with Mario, Zelda, a new nintendo IP and possibly retro´s game I will be sooooooo fucking impressed.

Tell me if i'm wrong, but does the xbox1 has that? i think ps4 is the only one and still lacks of a hugh library.
If the NX could have 3rd party support like XB1 with their own IP, that will be enough.


With the wiiu they tried some exclusive and more IP games, it didn't work.

The Wii U had a slightly weaker and very different to program for cpu than ps3 / 360. The NX is rumoured to have a stronger cpu than Jaguar but a significantly weaker gpu than xbone. According to my limited understanding, gpu effects are much more scalable than cpu processing so ports may require less work compared to wii u, because they can always scale down the gpu processing but cpu is much more complicated.

Skyrim Special Edition first footage is tomorrow too along with RDR2

Def no NX news tomorrow lol

This obviously means NX will be revealed tomorrow and after the reveal the Skyrim and RDR2 footage will be shown and there will be an NX logo right at the end of the video.

Skyrim and RDR2 for NX confirmed!

The other thing is that the NX should be able to run virtually any modern game engine with very little trouble, making ports of games on those engines quite a lot easier than it would be for Wii U.

Additionally, as Thraktor has pointed out, Tegra chips have twice the performance for FP16 precision, which can be quite heavily utilized for UE4 games. He has essentially speculated that the NX can potentially have close to 2TF of performance for a UE4 game, although that is a very high end estimate and also likely not possible unless it's connected to a power supply (docked), if "docked mode" is actually a thing.

It would be nuts if after all is said and done the NX can run UE4 games better than a PS4.

(I don't believe the NX will be this powerful, but it's very interesting seeing how capable mobile processors have become in such a short amount of time.)

Not NX logo, there will actually be the final console logo and name, that's how they'll reveal it

Nintendo of America making a joke about the NX would just cause people to make death threats.

Plus I think people would take as an insult at this point.

I'm going to note in advance once again by noting that I really wish that we could stop focusing our attention so much on Emily Rogers. With that out of the away, let me ignore my own advice and talk some more about this situation.

I think part of the issue with her reporting is simply that she's not a real journalist and as such doesn't know how to properly vet or contextualize information. But as you note, I also think it's unfair to suggest that she's a complete fraud. I don't think that she outright makes things up or misleads audiences. Further, this is one of those situations where I find myself banging my head up against a desk because it never ceases to amaze me how counterproductive people can be sometimes. And by that I simply mean that I don't understand how people can react to an Emily Rogers rumor with a sentiment like "why are we listening to this bullshit con artist who has never been right about anything ever!?!?" and then still seemingly wait with bated breath for the latest rumor to be proven wrong.

"I know she's wrong, but I'm going to pull up a chair here and wait for her to be proven wrong so I can remind everyone that she's always wrong!" This is not how you should behave. If you're a sane person and you think someone else is unreliable, then you should either ignore them or actually take anything they say with a grain of salt and not just claim that you're taking what they say with a grain of salt.

See also: Michael Pachter threads. Pachter goes on record making a dubious prediction, someone makes a thread about it, and people fall over themselves trying to get in some clever "this guy is never right about anything why do we give a shit what he has to say?" response. And then you realize that it's one of the most active threads of the day and part of the reason why is because people can't help themselves from having to take shots at him. Whereas if people started actually ignoring him instead of just passive aggressively suggesting that we should ignore him, he might become a less tantalizing figure to try and make sound bites out of.

Eh, that's some faulty logic. If everyone who doesn't trust Emily simply ignored her, then the threads would just be filled with posts by people that believe her. When that happens, now anyone who reads the thread will think that Emily is a completely reputable source.

If SonicGuy69 posts a shitty rumor on Twitter, it's pretty easy for us to ignore him, because barely anyone will believe what he says. But when Emily posts something, there are a lot of people who take her seriously or at least believe that she has a decent chance of being correct. It's silly to expect people to completely ignore her when her rumors are being discussed so much.

Micheal and Emily are adults, and if they want to make bold claims over social media, then their audience has the right to scrutinize them if they end up being wrong.

Why are we so thirsty for news anyways, we already know:

- the power of the machine
- the central concept of what it will be
- that it will use carts
- that it thus wont be backwards compatible with wii u
- when it will release
- that it will hame basically no western thirdparty support (outside of some moneyhats)
- that it will have some japanese thirdparty support
- that it will launch with Zelda
- That it will be cheaper than the Wii u

I guess there is still the games outlook for the first year that they need to announce, but I dont know, i feel we already know most of the important things. Still, I share the same thirst as everybody else.

I've only been hyped a couple of times for the NX like before this past E3 (and before they revealed it'd be only zelda) I guess I'm too jaded by console rumors to jump on the train again. I've read the big rumors that show up on Forbes or NYT for the most part but other than that I don't seek stuff, I've read some of the rumors out there but mostly if I stumble upon them rather than seek them.


After the last Direct when they mentioned we'd have an Animal Crossing mini-direct in November I didn't really expect an NX announcement before that, if it comes great if not then I'll wait. This will likely be my only post on NX speculation until it's revealed.

The information is only part of the game.

I'm excited to find out:

-what it actually looks like
-what it's called
-there's more than Zelda-- the reveal will yield more games, possibly next major Mario
-who knows what else
