It probably revolves around the shared game library across multiple devices, and it's taking so much time cause it's not easy to reach somewhat similar performances on an handheld and a home console.

Miyamoto: Nintendo can't comment on NX because of "an idea that we're working on"

I don't understand this line of thinking. It's going to come when it comes, whether or not we know when that is or what it is. Nintendo isn't even the one hyping it up. They don't want to talk about it; it's everyone else asking them about it.
Could not agree more. Seems like they're being out of touch with how the current environment works, and how fast advancements are made.

You should know by now that people love to make up stuff to cause dramatic scenarios.
What I said earlier was right.

Oh no....
This. I'm seeing people saying this on every page and I don't get it.

It's probably SCD, hologram tech and/or the shared library between handheld and console. It's so exciting to see what they come up with!

VR is an expensive grave, so no.
I think Nintendo has just done a great job of teaching people to expect the worst...
Yeah this is so true haha.

Nintendo will deliver one Mew straight from NinGen Labs with every Pokedex sold.

Those conclusion-cannon-ballers have probably had enough of those experts, with all the elitist fact-checking and everything. ;]
In the end, we have some rumors from people that should have a share of trust saying that situation with NX and games should be ok, but with room for improvement.
Until we really get some hard leaks (hi Ubisoft, how're you guys doing?) or (more likely) Nintendo finally shows the darned thing, that's as much as we get.
I just hope that the gimmick/hook of the system hits the spot when unveiled, another confused Wii U situation would be bad. Well, thinking of it, Nintendo should do anything to make this happen.
We're probably not getting some cold, hard hardware specs from them, so the games and the gimmick will have to wow consumers/gamers.
No lies detected here.. Unfortunately
Well apart from the phone part, which I would not care about personally, having a hybrid console + handheld would be a smart way to bridge Western preferences to play on TV with Japanese preferences to play on the go I feel.
It would also help greatly with preventing Wii U style gaps in the software lineup as all teams would be working on games for both "systems." The only downside I can think of right now is that games that were specifically designed around either TV or handheld gaming will now have to work well in both settings, which might put some limitations on certain types of games.
Granted, it's probably not unique and "blue ocean" enough for them for it to be the actual main focus of the NX, but I'd definitely be happy if they'd go this route. If they'd add holograms as well, then we're really talking!

For those who havent spotted it, it tells your right here what NX stands for:
NX = 'New eXperience'
On past rumors suggesting its retail name would be NEX, I though it wouldve been cool that it stood for Nintendo EXperience.

Maybe they are waiting for a patent to be accepted, similar to the No Man Sky issue with the word "sky" and how the game had to be delayed due to the copyright involved with that word
Also, since scorpio and psNeo are in development, they can include Nintendo's idea in the development,dunno, crazy ideas, but I can imagine them not announcing it since maybe the patent is not accepted

Yeah.
I'd be excited if i hadn't found both Wii's and WiiU's gimmicks just a stupid hindrance to the games.

NX's real name is 4DS.
Nintendo has stated that NX will launch in March 2017.
However don't be surprised if it gets delayed another 6-8 months to fall 2017.
A 3D TV?

Dude ... as long as the console isn't released, and possibly even after release, Nintendo is of course "working on it". Since when do we hold a PR non-answer literally?
No.
Normal HDTV.
AR / 3D glasses so that any TV can be used and the player gets a 3D image.
Sort of the opposite of 3DS which is glasses free 3D.
This would be 3D with glasses. No 3DTV needed.

What has me really excited is if they could have new technology where say they revived Wave racer and you could feel the current and see the water outside the screen! As in AR not VR.
This new innovation I really believe will innovate the industry again! I for one don't want just another ps4 or Xbone!

Yeah that's my thught too
You know that developers need to have dev kits with most of the major features already implemented lots of months(or even a year or more) before the release of the console?
If they are still working on this feature in the best case developers that are already working on NX won't be able to fully(or at all) use this feature.
Definitely feels like it.
The absence of the NX reveal at e3 was already a pretty big indicator that Nintendo's still undecided on what they want the NX to be.
They honestly sound rather lost, there must be conflict within teams inside of Nintendo as to what paths the NX should take.
bookkeepers are probably saying you won't be

I'm well aware that devs at a certain point in time need a near final devkit, yes. But i'm also not overthinking a PR statement in the likeness of "It's not the same content, it's not the same game" to the point of thinking "Hm, this might mean that they're not even done with the drawing board" ... you know?
But feel free to continue to cannon ball to conclusions, it's not that you're not having enough company in doing so.
As a favor for me, try to read up the rumors we had so far, from people who hold a certain reliability regarding leaks and rumors, and try to rethink how far or not Nintendo is with NX, ok?
I think a lot of people are overthinking that quote. There is no way they don't know or working intensively on the gimmick for it to work properly. We are 9 months away of the release, maybe it will be delayed but with the Wii U dead and buried I don't think they are willing to delays further the next generation of home console.
Rumors are... well just rumors, i really don't like how neogaf use to jump to conclusion saying that a rumor is false(especially if bad) while another one is true(especially if good), i never trust official PR of an unannounced/upcoming console but this sounds reliable and in any case we are talking about Miyamoto, not just some dude on twitter.
The ps4 added 4gb of ram right before release, the gamepad looked different the first time it was shown. That they're still working on it doesn't mean anything.
That's not the same at all, a change with better specs changes basically nothing for the devs that can just release a game that doesn't take advantage of the better hardware, he's talking about a (innovative?)"feature", think if nintendo was still "working on" the second screen of the of the ds or the motion control of the wii not that long before the release.

What rumors did you read? If anything, it's the opposite when it comes to Nintendo, bad ones taken as the one true word, (more) positive ones getting the "LOL sure, it's Nintendo" treatment.
And about Miyamoto, sure, guy's not some random person. But iirc that great non-sense "Not the same game" came from no other than Nintendo of America's current COO, Reggie Fils-Aimé. :]
I interpret it as saying they are still finalizing it. Which they probably did 10 months before the ds and wii was released as well.
you DO realise that they were still working on the second screen of the DS and the motion control of the Wii 9+ months before their respective launches, right? hardware is fluid for much longer than some people on this forum would like to admit

For you and others like yourself. I on the other hand expect better regardless of what a few on a gaming forum have settled for. Expect the unexpected. Always.
I like one of the ideas about wearing a headband that a camera/sensor on the TV can see, and because it knows your exact head position in relation to the TV, it can create a sort of "Looking out a window" experience on your TV, as long as you are not too close to it.
