Next console to simply be called the Nintendo?
Brilliant plan to take advantage of the 20 million grandparents who call everything a Nitendo
They could easily do one variant for console and the other for handheldI'm straying a bit here...but as a designer this is kind of interesting. So, you guys prefer the white text on red, or the opposite; red on white?
I think the white on red works well for advertisement purposes (signage, even potentially billboards and stuff), but for actual merchandise (Amiibo, games, toys, etc) the white on red would likely get more use.
Of course the logo with the red on white could also change colors for a variety of products (The World of Nintendo figures for instance have different color boxes)
EDIT: Oh, could new Link be for Zelda U?

They honestly should go that route. Simplify everything. Once the next next home console after NX arrives, just call it the Nintendo 2. Nintendo 3 after etc. Make sure people understand when its a new iteration.Next console to simply be called the Nintendo?

Oh. We are both concerned about the same thing then. I thought scabbard = guard, and English being my second language definitely didn't help me.

Yeah, "Nintendo" alone probably isn't enough. They need to make sure people understand it's a new thing. I hope they do bring the Nintendo name back though.I'm actually for this. Maybe add something before or after it but keep it simple like Super Nintendo or Nintendo 64.
Which would bad I really love the new designThe Master Sword looks really like the one from Skyward Sword but the overall character design of him doesn't. Somehow he looks more asian than before. It must be his eyes in that render.
What if they changed his design after last years E3 to stop the confusion if Link is a girl in the game or not?
Like I said before, he really looks great. Maybe we see the full picture in the near future.

Make it happen Nintendo, leave the baggage behind, rising like a phoenix from the ashes
Forget about Zelda
Forget about Metroid
Forget about NX
This here is my dream E3 announcement.
The anatomy of a sword is:
pommel > grip > cross-guard > rain guard (chappe) > strong (forte) > fuller > edge > central ridge > point
Same here. I was a sad guy when they announced the grey was official.
The cross-guard looks like it's nearly parallel to the blade to me, it's usually supposed to look like spread wings. Actually, it kind of reminds me of the next-to-final form of the Master Sword in Skyward Sword. Where it's de-energized or something.
No idea which Link it is. I can't tell Links apart.
Man, I have to look this up now, I didn't know any of the words between the cross-guard and the edge. Are you a blacksmith or something?
I'm glad the red is coming back. Will they keep the same font? With the way companies keep updating the font of their logos, I worry that Nintendo might change their font to some sort of sans-serif typeface. *barf*
Better get n or get out

Yup. Even my friends at my local GameStop told me their just waiting on the new banners from Nintendo and they too are making the switch.
Nintendo are clearly the ones spearheading this marketing change. Going back to the Red logo probably means a more "red theme" for their next hardware. Beyond that, this could mark a naming convention shift as well. NX itself could have arguably marked that in code speak (Nintendo X), but reality is I think they are going back to the Nintendo branding. No more Wii, or other names like that - we'll go back to owning Nintendo's.
Honestly, it's a pretty smart move. Nintendo as a company is still really well known. Making that company a true "brand" again is going to do well for them. It works in so many other markets too (do you own the new Nikes?). Etc.
Good on them.
Here's what my walmart looks like now
That shit is backwards. Whoever the rep is that set that up will be getting an email to put Pikachu on the left and Mario on the right. Being 100% serious.

That's a brand new render. WHY!?
Bring back the glory days Nintendo...one step at a time, out with the blue Wii U/Silver and in with the red:
hmm...
NX
Nintendo X
Nintendo Ten
NinTENdo Ten
Ten Ten = Name of NX
Mario over wii u, pikachu over 3ds
What's the issue?
The Gamestop pic on the previous page is exactly the same.
"....I wonder who was in my room last night
Who the "BEEP* was in my BED?!
BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I remember around summer of 1995 seeing this commercial on MTV/TNT late at night thinking wow Nintendo really has finally come back and won this generation (SNES/Genesis), the games were just better and they had a commercial and slogan that was working just enough........then a few years later they started putting adults in big Mario suits that looked like Nintendo's version of Sesame Street and it was a downward spiral to terrible commercials until "Wii would like to play" lol.
This is the new retail layout at large. We've been rolling out this reset at target for a few weeks now. All 3DS/wiiu signing is being changed to "Nintendo" with similar character images. Red and white. We're also cutting our shelf space of wiiu/3ds in half to one aisle. No handheld/console separation.
NFC toys and rockband will now occupy the previous wii/wiiu wall.
Amiibo is considered an independent initiative in our reset, separate of Nintendo consoles. Only reason I find the change interesting, at launch Amiibo was to be displayed as a wiiu add on.

"Hey guys, Sony uses blue and Microsoft uses green. What should we use?"
"Make the logo grey and the Wii U boxes blue"
They had lots of neat logos http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Nintendo
Make this the NX logo and advertise it with "Ace of Spades"
