I believe she said she was done posting on this until the reveal.

NX officially has the least time between reveal and release of any Nintendo platform

You just want an Yves Amiibo.
Might be cuter than the Yarn Yoshi one.
Bah! Even she is getting sick of waiting haha.
For me to say that this is as curious as I've ever been about an upcoming reveal is probably a lie. But still...it's damn close.
Well it wasn't hard to do, Nintendo only said "New dedicated gaming device codenamed NX", "Release March 2017" and "We will not talk about NX in this presentation/Direct/Investor meeting" so far

But seriously though I feel like Yves is saying nicer things about NX compared to Wii U and he even says Nintendo learned from Wii U.
Will it speak in a French accent though?

Nintendo is probably sweating right now. Y'all are making then delay it further.

Between Pokemon Go and Super Mario Run, I don't even think the NX is even a factor in the stocks anymore. The stock market and investors have what they want (Nintendo franchises on mobile), and anything else is just gravy.
They could delay it to November 2017 and not take a hit now.

I don't understand the point of this thread. It confused me and made me think it was officially announced today. Let them give the console a damn name atleast before we start more speculation.

So you might want to double think those delay posts.

It's evolution of communication and the market place. Nowadays, there is no problem is announcing and releasing a system within 3 months. Mass media and communication will be effective in marketing the new device. They need to make sure they can cover a global or semi-global release- which is also not difficult today.
it's just a sign of changing times. Same goes for game announcements and other products.

If Foxconn has begun production of the NX, how come we haven't gotten any leaks from them?
This is thread worthy BTW.
I was doubtful about this but for the same reason I was, I'm now wondering what the hell they are thinking.
I think they are taking a risk and it is even a bit dumb to trial (and potentially starts) production before the device is shown and tested in a public event.
IMO they should collect user data in such an event, and maybe apply changes before submitting the final design to the manufacturer.
Remember the gamepad had circle pads and no sticks, and remember they havn't seen the 3DS screen marks. So this is usefull.

Nintendo rarely has considered input from its fans or consumers tbh lol
There's still time between now and October.
It's the early testing and trial period and that will last a good while. Then full production starts in the last 3-4 months before release.
EDIT: To clarify, for the NX to be out in March, testing needs to start now 6 months before release. It could last about 2 or 3 months, then full production kicks in in the remaining 3 or 4 months.
Considering this is replacing both 3ds and Wii U, it's a rather safe estimation.

On one hand, this is an early production, so that Foxconn worker may not be involved. On the other hand, that worker posted those PS4 drawings on Chinese gaming forum a9vg, which is a notorious place full of hostile Sony fanboys (way more hostile than those in western forums, the place is so notorious that Chinese Nintendo fans are always avoiding that place). He may not even want to post info about a Nintendo console because people just don't care about it.

Very few have been released in a small worldwide window. We've seen plenty of cases of Japan, then months later NA, then months later Europe. A few where Japan and NA got it about the same time, and Europe months later. A few cases where NA/Europe got it about the same time and Japan some months later (unsurprisingly the Xboxes, surprisingly the PS4).
I might be missing something, but I think 3DS is the closest to a worldwide launch? The launches for the three major territories spanned just over a month.
You didn't finish your analogy so it's hard to say.Serenityinaz12 said:
NX:Scorpio :: Urkel:?
Hell, I am thinking about this way too hard, but the most impressive people on that show were scientific variations of Urkel, which I think makes him the original PS4????
We know what today is. We know when they claimed it will launch. Those are facts, not speculation. The launch time may change, but it is still the current fact.thelastcrusader said:

Direct-Feed Games (i think that is our NateDrake, who gave us the Pascal (Custom Tegra) rumor for NX) answered questions about NX to his Twitter followers on his youtube channel. Thanks for that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0R6aKJpv0A
As i understand he says that NX is probably going to be 3-4 times stronger than Wii U ( 3-4x Wii U gigaflops).
Wonder if this is his opinion or knowledge. As he says he has sources on a custom Tegra with Pascal in NX.
Wii U has 180gflops (estimated), so for a handheld/hybrid 540-720gflops would be really strong, i think and Nintendo games would probably shine on it. Pascal is much more efficient than older AMD GPU hardware, plus you probably would have a boost in certain situations cause of fp16, doubling the performance in some cases. For a handheld it would be very, very strong.
He also thinks ports of PS4 and Xbox1 games would be possible, if the publishers see a market/money. OsirisBlack said similiar things.
3-4 times WiiU gigaflops, could this be done without active cooling?
For what it's worth, i found this "Q&A" interesting, there are also other questions answered.

How strong is 3-4 times Wii U compare to X1 and PS4?
Also, thanks for telling us you posted the video NateDrake! *shakes fist*
I'll watch it later.

A lot of users on GAF don't like to self-promote.
Glad to know the video's up now though!
I feel like the other consoles are at least a teraflop each from what I remember.

Interesting. Well, the wait for NX news continues. *sighs*
I didn't want him to self promote. Me and a few others were asking before when he was posting it so we could watch.

About half a Xbox One on paper, but pascal is more efficient and tegra gets a "boost" in fp16, doubling performance in some instances. So it would perhaps be nearer to the xbox1 than the specs would tell you on paper. That would be Emilys Apples and Oranges comparison. But we don't know bandwidth, Ram or other things.
But keep in mind we are talking about a console that is a handheld too (if the rumours are correct). For that it would be more than i expected.

There were a few rumblings about Tuesday, so we'll see.
Another week, another ultimately fruitless 'rumbling'...
The only thing keeping me alive is the knowledge that at some point between now and March, they HAVE to reveal it.
Right?

Times running out. Surely they will announce before the year is up. Surely.

I'm laughing at the poor souls who think this is going to be released in March. They're not going to leave themselves with less than 6 months. This is likely going to be bumped up to later 2017.

And Zelda right along with it. Its what I'm fearing.

If you're just doing a TFLOP comparison, Xbox One is 1.31, Xbox One S is 1.4, and PS4 is 1.84. Wii U is 176 GFLOPS, so 3-4 times that, if taking ND's estimate literally, is 528-704 GFLOPS. But Xbox One and PS4 use AMD chips while NX seems to be using Nvidia and I'm not sure how their efficiencies compare in consoles or what Pascal architecture would offer developers over GCN 1.1.
I think we won't know anything until we see a port that was given proper time and attention happen.

If I recall, didn't Twilight Princess have separate release dates? November 2006 for the Wii port, and December for the Gamecube version. No reason to think that they couldn't do the same (except maybe reversed considering that development did start on the Wii U before being bumped to NX).
