Goat, I hope so.
The "What is the NX really?" discussion needs to move on.
The behavior of internet jokes tells us you will be hearing this one--and people asking what you do in No Man's Sky--for years to come....

Yeah, that's all I'm seeing here. The home console implication to digging too much into the quote (to say nothing of the translation).
If I had any talents I'd gif the "Why male models?" scene from Zoolander with the text "What is NX?".
id buy that for a dollar

Here in Australia it's less than a day until 2016. I'm sure Nintendo will tell us first when the clock strikes midnight about the NX...
At least people won't think it's a Wii add-on this time.

All I need to know is, does it have Monster Hunter? If yes day one. I won't need anything else, I treated my wiiu and 3DS as a monster hunter machine.
Maybe if we ask SunhiLegend really nicely?
It absolutely will. Yes. I can just about guarantee this happens. Even if Capcom folded today someone would buy the rights and it would still happen.

You're telling me it isn't going to be an electric toothbrush? No sale.

Are we just latching onto the word "machine"? Because that implies nothing. A fucking inclined plane is a "machine."

They're pretty close with K-T and K-T probably likes that money, so of course he's "bullish"
When Nintendo decide to put a charger back into the new 3ds box again and so being cheap.

Maybe, it's a bit cheeky to ask though!
No, it's the fact he was asked home console sales in Japan and mentioned NX. He'd probably know if it wasn't a home console.
Nah, he's bullish on consoles in general. I'd say he's more confident in the PS4 but that goes without saying. Pretty much every publisher is weirdly confident the PS4 will take off in Japan like it has elsewhere.
Nintendo is full of liars. Remember that time a year ago when Miyamoto described their first mobile game as something like Miitomo, and then they announced their first mobile game was Miitomo, despite all the speculation? Liars I say.

Still lots of time for Nintendo to screw up messaging.

Separately and if anyone expects otherwise they should have done more research

I wonder how many times Nintendo has to say it's a console before people stop needing "confirmation" by other companies

For those saying they don't see how anything is implied, are you just reading the OP or are you going to the link?
The console implication here is obvious. Now, will it be more than that? Probably. But no one knows for sure. This, however, along with Reggie's and Tanabe's home console comments, leads me to believe the console variant will be coming first, or at least that aspect of the machine will be at the forefront of Nintendo's pitch.

Pretty sure from all the info we have (provided by Nintendo) NX is most likely the ecosystem rather than one system. What KT describes is probably the home console part.

Pretty much this. Nothing here.
I hear ya, but there is decently concrete evidence indicating it is a family of handheld and console form factors.
BTW, search your name on GAF. I made a post in your honor.

I heard a rumor that its going to be like a wind up torch, QoL will track the calories and you will earn NX coins, but it caps at 10 a day to annoy you
Sounds legit. Editing into OP.
Thanks for checking the translation. I'm not sure whether it's suspicious that no one has ruled out whether NX is a handheld as well but maybe you just wouldn't do that.

if you call making a pokemon crossover and loz spinoff while never putting out any musous/strategy games/DOA/anything except samurai chronicles 3 (which was also on psv) a close partnership... KT is more with sony then nintendo, hell it didnt help that WO3 hyper was a poor port that ran worse than the vanilla original on ps3/360
Koei Tecmo has made a Pokémon spinoff, a Zelda spinoff, a mainline Metroid game, 3 Fatal Frame games and Fatal Frame spinoff(which Nintendo owns) with Nintendo. They're definitely close enough to have details on Nintendo systems.
Pretty much every third party is closer to Sony than Nintendo. That goes without saying.

Who thought it wasn't? It might be (and probably is) both, but it being JUST a handheld would shock me.
NX is gonna be a whole new ecosystem that will encompass a handheld / portable line of hardware devices, a home console line of hardware, including those Supplemental Computing Devices for those who want the highest performance / resolution (I'm guessing) As well as other types of form factors. Not only that, but everything will likely span multiple generations going forward. Iwata said they will have to start from zero, but after that, they won't start from zero again. If I remember correctly.
What is totally unknown, is how Nintendo plans to provide a modern and complete online network, to the same level as PSN and Xbox Live. What I would hope for, is something that already exists. What company has more network centers than Microsoft (and Sony) that isn't Apple? Well, GOOGLE. I fully realize I have not put any thought into how a partnership between Nintendo and Google could work, and it most likely won't happen, it perhaps doesn't make sense. All I'm saying is Nintendo needs a worldwide network of some kind, and maybe their parnership with DeNA is only the start. I have no clue.
I think Nintendo does not need to aim strictly at either casual gamers, or hardcore gamers, but mainstream gamers and consumers, which will in turn draw people from both of the other ends of the spectrum. Getting back to where Nintendo was with their most widely successful and *sustained* platforms - Meaning the Famicom/NES, Super Famicom / SNES.
Okay guys go easy on me.

Hi guys, sorry for the bump. I saw an article today from a banned site claiming that Tatsumi Kimishima implied that Nintendo was not going to "jump to market" with the NX in an Sankei West interview. Instead of posting the banned site I'll link the interview directly: http://www.sankei.com/west/news/160103/wst1601030012-n1.html
I personally think this is significant because, depending on what he actually said, he might be implying the system will not come out in 2016, which is a quote I think a lot of people would be interested in reading. Alas, I cannot read Japanese all that well, so I was wondering if someone would be able to translate it. It may be a nothing quote, in which case I apologize.
Sorry mods if this is inappropriate. I know we don't want NX speculation threads. I debated if this was worth posting or not - certainly if it was appropriate in this thread. But I don't see anyone talking about this and thought a lot of people might be interested, provided it turns out to actually be something.

Here's the NX quote (in Japanese) from the new interview with Nintendo's CEO Tatsumi Kimishima
Can't tell what the first part is from Google/Bing Translate, but the second part is talking about the NX will offer a different experience than Wii U/3DS.

This should be in a new thread.
It should be, but only when we get a reliable translation, since the wrong one is going to spawn a ton of bogus articles from gaming media.
From machine translation, I would lean towards the first part being more of "I don't want to reveal things to our audience yet" as opposed to "We're not going to rush to market", but I know essentially zero Japanese.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I don't think 3rd parties like tecmo koei, and possibly even Namco are closer to sony than Nintendo, they make games on sony consoles too because that's part of business and sony being the market leader right now, they are gonna get the most support, but I don't see sony letting tecmo make a game in the GoW series for instance.
