I think that was just guesswork due to the 3 years of it being on the 13th for the Wii in 2006, 3DS in 2011, and Wii U in 2012. Hell I'm the one who posted that! XD

The NX reveal will be October 2nd. It will be a day we all remember. Nintendo doesn't care about the holiday rush because they know that all anyone's going to want to do after seeing NX is save their money and put in their pre-orders. Even without a release, NX is going to dominate 2016's conversation. Everyone is being misled because Nintendo didn't want anyone to copy. They've tasked some of their employees with giving out purposefully incorrect information, pretending to be leaks. Hardware was mocked up for photos. This is the most elaborate protection scheme Nintendo has ever gone through, and it's all because NX is going to be special. Seriously special. Its reveal will be a moment we remember, like E3 2004 Twilight Princess but better. You guys aren't ready. This is the future.
I'm confused how everything "went to plan" when a few sentences before they said that the date was changed because of Sony's event announcement.
Pokemon Direct is next. I guess they want to show off everything they got for 3DS before announcing the NX
It's less of a Direct & more of a short YouTube video that'll go up, tomorrow.Pokemon Direct is next. I guess they want to show off everything they got for 3DS before announcing the NX
They could have been blacklisted by Nintendo, lost of other companies have blacklisted them...Kotaku would have leaked it if they had an invite.

I agree, why would Nintendo gimp their hardware to only use 32gb carts. Its likely just a recommendation based on cart cost.
Is the "before TGS" thing based on any actual evidence at all or should I just not expect anything

Making sense and Nintendo so close together is an oxymoron.It would seem like a poor strategic choice to let the entire Japanese games industry announce their upcoming lineups without being able to mention NX.
It would also seem like a poor strategic choice to let the entire Japanese games industry announce their upcoming NX lineups before Nintendo have at least talked about their launch lineup beyond Zelda.
Before TGS would make a lot of sense, but Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

Most likely. But there may be some core of truth to the idea that everything people have been saying about the system, is entirely wrong.
Nintendo mentioned before that they kept their cards close to their chest due to copy concerns. So I don't think it's far fetched to think it could be copied in some form by Sony or MS on their current consoles. I mean if it were just a handheld with a dock and all that, they'd have little to fear from them right? If that's the case, than waiting until Neo has been set in stone, so they can't attach whatever Nintendo's doing as a standard on it, makes some sense perhaps?

Detachable controllers (motion controls and next-gen vibration technology)
Nintendo doesn't time anything to coincide with TGS. They haven't attended in years, and they always hold their own Directs or events at other times. Besides, a majority of their business is overseas, and TGS is a very Japan-centric show. They're more likely to announce it in the United States using NoA if it's not a worldwide Direct or Direct livestream.

It honestly reads like some fanboy's wet dream..
...and then ALL the third parties said "SCREW SONY AND MICROSOFT!! NOW WE'RE PLAYING WITH POWER!!!" And Cyberpunk 2077 was announced as an NX exclusive too!! YEAH! TAKE THAT!!!
I think the rumor miapelled "carts"
It was intended as "cards"
NFC amiibo cards
That will contain the entire games!
Where the fuck did that screenshot even come from? I like that NX speculation has arrived at the point where it has given up completely on finding reliable sources.
As much as I want this all to end in September already, I have to agree with others that judging by the dead silence and the fact that we just got a direct very recently, I'm starting to doubt we'll hear anything before the month is over unless Nintendo's just waiting for Sony's parade to pass by.
Nintendo may not, but many of their partners that are likely to be working on NX games will. Imagine being a publisher with some great NX games in the works, but you can't talk about it at tgs because Nintendo hasn't revealed it yet. That's probably frustrating.
Why do you believe there are many partners to start with? So far I think that's the biggest fallacy in the "have to unveil it before TGS" line of arguing.
Nintendo doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt here. As long as proven otherwise, their 3rd party support is as horrible for NX as it is now. No reason to asume otherwise, so I fail to see how TGS would suddenly be full of enthusiastic 3rd party support.
Sooo... what about a Direct for presenting NX?
It's just September. Plenty of time until the end of the year.
No, ok. What I meant is: according to you is a Direct a viable way to introduce the new console? Without a presentation with press?
Or maybe their new owners have told them to stop being jerks to companies so they're profitable and not a loss leader.They could have been blacklisted by Nintendo, lost of other companies have blacklisted them...
Yeah but people may want/are working on this thing and you can't indefinitely keep everyone under NDA even for business purpose after TGS.It's just September. Plenty of time until the end of the year.
IMO it will be surprisingly modern if Nintendo was going for an internet-only, viral buzz first.No, ok. What I meant is: according to you is a Direct a viable way to introduce the new console? Without a presentation with press?
