Yep. Someone from NoC said all and Nintendo themselves have said that there would be NX information some time this year.

And what a stunning launch it was. Though admittedly I don't think the date was the reason it stumbled out of the gate.
It makes the most sense. If something happens ahead of it that's cool, but I think most should anticipate the Q2 report. At least doing so will avoid the daily expectation of news.Y'know, while I really, really, really don't want to believe that there won't even be a reveal date before the Q2 results, it's probably best if I just try to assume that.
Sigh.
Yeah, I don't get it. If you believe the hybrid rumor then I don't see why you wouldn't believe her with the October reveal. She's the one whose been giving more details of the hybrid from her source(s)-not Eurogamer.Yes, the insane pricepoint and terrible launch lineup had more to do with it.
That's what is mind-boggling to me. Cling to the hybrid rumor and everything else, but when she finally speaks on the reveal date, ignore it. How does that make any sense?
At this point I'm thinking we won't see shit before pokemon sun and moon hits.
With what logic brings you to that conclusion?

Nintendo didn't hold back on revealing the 3DS because of Pokemon Black and White.
You could play Black and White on a 3DS.
So, we have kaioshade (January) v.s. Emily (October) now, eh
Seriously kaios, who told you about January for the reveal, and how reliable you can say he/she is?
Oh boy, this thing has to deliver in a big way, cause if it ends being a pricey low powered strange gimmicky machine with a bad launch line up the meltdowns will be of epic proportions...
It was someone within Nintendo. Not saying more than that. Nor am i saying under what circumstances i met them under.
But i jokingly asked when Nintendo was going to say something about the NX, and they told me they obviously cannot say much, if anything, but to "look forward to January"
I am not a journalist, or someone really "in the know in the industry" either. This was a chance encounter, and if it does turn out to be true and they weren't messing with me, prob the first, and most likely last piece of insider info i ever get.

So something that cannot be verified as there is no way for you to prove this ever happened, nor get "bish verified"?
Okay, what is up with the January? Why? Why January?

It's not. It's literally on the front page of their website. http://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/
cause if it's not october
it's not going to be november or december
and then you have january
Start of the new year, fresh new start, no holiday season to worry about. Nothing between January and March, the supposed launch of this new console. Nintendo is not opposed to dropping bombs in January, as we all know from the great bomb dropping of January '13.
Why would it not be November/December?
If its a November/December magazine issue that would point towards a mid October reveal.
The lend some form of credence, or perspective, to the January claims just think back to 3DS. It was revealed at E3 where we saw games, the system, and other bits of information. Launch lineup, pricing, and launch date for US was given in early January at a media briefing/Direct. Something similar with NX could easily happen. I guess it depends on what you expect from the reveal.
I would hope we would know what the NX is by January. I could absolutely see them withholding launch details until 2017.
That's what I mean. We could see the hardware and a software sampling this yr with impressions, but launch details will come in early 2017.I would hope we would know what the NX is by January. I could absolutely see them withholding launch details until 2017.
That's fine. I don't think anybody is expecting every detail of the NX. Nintendo never gives all the details when they first reveal their system.That's what I mean. We could see the hardware and a software sampling this yr with impressions, but launch details will come in early 2017.

We just want what's the NX and what games are coming to it with the initial reveal, which should be this year. The exact launch date and price of the system can be in January.
That's fine. I think everyone just wants to see what the hardware actually is to see what it's going for and who it's aiming to please. Price and date can come later.That's what I mean.

Some footage of the hardware and its specs would be nice and then some trailers for games.
That cover was designed in August. They were just assuming NX would be revealed by the time the next issue went to press. Don't read anything more into that.

Later sounds like a bit late but still, at this point the only thing that matter is to see the damn thing.
I do. Come on, 5 months ahead of launch and no details about said launch ?
Nintendo never gives all the details but Nintendo never skipped numerous E3s and events for their hardware reveal. Neither they kept them so long under the blanket. It's supposed to launch in 5 months. We know nothing about it.
I don't see how delaying the launch means lying. Nobody in business thinks like that. Plans can change. If Kimishima can come up with reasonable explanation for the delay to tell shareholders I don't see how the delay is impossible. In fact, if I'm a Nintendo shareholder right now I would have asked them to move some of their developers working on the NX to focus more on the mobile, considering how successful the PGO is.
I'd be extremely surprised if they announce the pricing more than a couple of months before launch. They've left price announcements close to the last minute so for all their consoles in recent memory, and especially with how volatile currency markets are this year they wouldn't want to get locked into pricing that becomes unprofitable in certain regions following a currency shock.
This pretty much adds to what I said about forecasts and what the reception to the NX will be.
They'll most likely reveal the hardware and software this year. Then they'll talk about pricing and an exact date in March for release in the following year.
All because they need to see how people react to the NX and price accordingly just like with the 3DS although that was problematic given the lack of software to justify the price of the hardware.
