RUMOR - INSIDER SOURCE SAYS KEY PARTNERS IN POSSESSION OF NX DEV KITS, LATE 2016 RELEASE LOOKING PLAUSIBLE

This info was obtained by MetalDave, a source we at GoNintendo have been using for years and years now. MetalDave has indeed gotten inside information correct multiple times in the past. There have also been some details that ended up incorrect. With that said, I believe his overall track record makes this information worthy of sharing.

For those wondering, MetalDave managed to get this information from an unnamed PlayStation 4 dev, and that source provided all sorts of proof to verify his identity/claims.

- Nintendo has key partners they are working with that already have Dev Kits (Second & Third party)
- this dev is working on a graphically demanding PlayStation 4 game that they would like to bring to NX
- this studio does not have Dev Kit’s themselves and have not received details on specs
- Nintendo has informed this dev of a date at which they can order an NX dev kit
- Nintendo is screening early Dev Kit access before the public developer date
- this process is extremely complex with a lot of paperwork to complete by both sides
- the dev kit timing/NDAs involved lead the dev to believe that a late 2016 release could happen

I'd have liked a reveal already, but the PS4 was revealed in febuary 2013 and we got a november release. Xb1 was even later than that.

I'm guessing that Nintendo will put out something in April or May advertising E3 in June and a release in November.

5 months from reveal to launch is cutting it kinda fine though. Unless its a literal hardware reveal at E3 and a reveal of the concept and some games before hand.

Ya I think all these 'insider source rumours' are just mostly the same things written in different ways with vague times and months interchanged. It's only logical that some companies have the dev kits and others dont.

And what we are left with is nothing more than educated guesses.
If you keep saying an announcement is around the corner for long enough, eventually you'll be right!

Alright guys I have an uncle who works at nintendo honest and he says..... Nintendo will use the word NX at some point this year in a presentation and or Nintendo direct of some sort.

Machismo Fan

I really hope Nintendo unveil something soon because we're reaching unbearable levels of NX rumour clickbait.

I'd say it'd probably be a concept and hardware reveal first, so that they can then demo the games at E3, similar to how they did with the Wii U.

They'll just have to ensure that the console and concept are defined clearly enough this time.

Hopefully they call it NotaWii.

Back in the day, when I'd have some nice GBA game packaging or something, I used to rip it up or scrunch it up cos I thought it was worthless. Some nice boxes gone there.

My Mammy throw out a tonne of Snes, gameboy and n64 boxes and kept a pile of polly pocket dirt!

My Megadrive boxes still persist though, being made out of plastic.
It's true then...

Sega do what Nintendon't!

The previous and current fiscal years have been a period of preparation to launch a number of new endeavors, such as NX development
[...]
As I have said before, we will be launching many of our new business activities as we move from this fiscal year into the next.
[...]
The question was to pick one area with which we will be able to achieve Nintendo-like profits, but I would like to suggest two areas. One area is our NX business
