Support NeoGAF

[DriftingSpirit]

The time has come.

With that being said, I would cackle if nothing happens tomorrow or Friday.

 

[HStallion]

Red Dead Redemption 2 reveal trailer tomorrow as well. Coincidence?

 

[Dark Cloud]

I'm thinking partial reveal tomorrow (name, concept, maybe images of the hardware), and an announcement of the full hardware/software reveal for next week or the week after. Would make very little sense to just drop an hour-long Direct with zero advance notice.

But at this point, I'd be more than happy with just a reveal date, because the lack of one has been the most frustrating thing about the past six months.

For rea. Just be happy for NX new in general. Be happy in the moment

 

[Fahzgoolin]

It's been a looooong time coming. Time to put the theories to rest.

They won't end yo. This is NeoGaf after all.

 

[Kouriozan]

 

[RAWi]

so tomorrow we'll have 20x the number of threads of "what if NX..." threads, right?

C'mon tomorrow! Why you not today?!?!

 

[a Master Ninja]

I want to believe.

 

[Tangled Up in Blue]

So long, old friend.

 

[TheCongressman1]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no news again tomorrow.

 

[AmyS]

Last time I'm going to post this.

A couple pictures of the 1988 Super Fami reveal

 

[hogendaz85]

It'll probably be a teaser announcement for the announcement of a direct.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Would prefer the first thing they show be Smash just because they need to expand the "Nintendo cinematic universe" alongside the NX and because also I like smash

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

No. It was already deconfirmed for this week. Stop propagating this.

Ok junior.

 

[tim.mbp]

NX and Inter vs. Southampton? What a day.

 

[10k]

I'm thinking partial reveal tomorrow (name, concept, maybe images of the hardware), and an announcement of the full hardware/software reveal for next week or the week after. Would make very little sense to just drop an hour-long Direct with zero advance notice.

But at this point, I'd be more than happy with just a reveal date, because the lack of one has been the most frustrating thing about the past six months.

You stole my opinion.

 

[GWX]

Emily...

Nunca critiquei

lol

 

[VendettaRed07]

 

[Oersted]

No. It was already deconfirmed for this week. Stop propagating this.

Trolling?

 

[oreomunsta]

Molemitts, if you're reading this, your Krabby Patty joke in the last thread brought up some very, very strong, negative feelings about that episode. I'm triggered.

Spoiler

 

[clay_ghost]

Lol. Not a chance in hell.

It's Nintendo, they can surprise us sometime.

 

[inner-G]

Ugh I have like 3 meetings tomorrow

WHHHHYYYYYYYYY???????

 

[Aldric]

shockinglaberto says yes, zelda it seems, or mario according to emily

lt's going to be Zelda, there won't be any significant differences with the Wii U version and so we won't be able to get a clear idea about the graphical capacities of the system.

 

[Cepheus]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Red Dead 2 and NX on the same day. Jesus christ. This is one of those special days in gaming history.

It would be even more special if Half-Life 3 got revealed and Jon went back to Game Grumps, but let's not push our luck.

 

[Kikorin]

My god, my god, my god... Pls be real.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Has Nintendo ever announced Direct then had Direct in the same day. Perhaps Direct announcement first thing tomorrow morming. Then Direct in the evening.

Nope. It's never been done. This would be unprecedented

 

[ArchedThunder]

So when NX is a handheld device and not an AMD home console what are the people who are still championing that going to say?

 

[phanphare]

in Emily we trust

 

[Fuchs]

Somebody hold me!

 

[……forgetit]

Why do you do this to yourselves people?

 

[CharminUltra]

This the new hotness?

RIP Fanxiety thread. You served us well.

 

[javadoze]

Started from the bottom, now we here.

 

[Volotaire]

I'm finally ready. Let's do this.

 

[Sterok]

So by the end of the week we'll either know something, or we'll be able to purge the list of people to pay attention to for NX news. Both possibilities are equally good.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Why do you do this to yourselves people?

There is no stopping this train

 

[Coolbgdog12]

NX revealed as a portable e reader that can connect to your TV. Nintendo focusing on education now.

 

[Kiddy Dong]

MFW

 

[Squall5042]

This definitely happened because of how insane everyone has gotten, so if we go more insane, they'll REVEAL MORE TOMORROW

 

[Amir0x]

If the rumours about the NX is true, should be interesting how Nintendo frames its appeal to the market. Probably will be a good system with good games as always, but man the rumoured concept is a spectacular misreading of the market as it stands. I'm hoping all the rumours are simply wrong.

 

[Ashodin]

This isn't my first rodeo.

Are hype train images bannable?

 

[-Horizon-]

Started from the bottom, now we here.

In the basement? /joke

 

[Hydrus]

I know were not supposed to post this, but this has to be an exception, because it might actually be happening!

[aBarreras]

Nope. It's never been done. This would be unprecedented

what? there have been directs that didnt have announcements, they just were uploaded to youtube

 

[Mediking]

It's finally time!!!!!

 

[Conkerkid11]

So when NX is a handheld device and not an AMD home console what are the people who are still championing that going to say?

Then I was in the right not to buy a New 3DS this close to NX.

 

[Manoko]

I'm so hyped right now !

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

"The NX will be revealed today!" *Doesn't get revealed*

"No I meant next week" *doesn't get revealed*

"N-next month..?" *NX gets revealed*

"I am an insider"

 

[Dark Cloud]

Why do you do this to yourselves people?

What's the problem? People can't be hyped when you have many many many journalists and insiders saying info is coming? Grow up

 

[chrisPjelly]

It'll probably be a teaser announcement for the announcement of a direct.

Probably a formal press letter and this.

 

[batman2million]

Gaf. Tell me which site should have pre orders up right after?!?! I NEEDS THIS!
