Nintendo Switch (Nintendo's next console)

Turns out their Gamescom invitations just arrived late.

sligeach · 20-09-2016 12:53AM

Retailers have been informed that Christmas this year has been cancelled.

CastorTroy · 20-09-2016 12:58AM

Too late telling them now when they've already started putting their Christmas stock out. Seriously? Selection boxes in September?

MilesMorales1 · 20-09-2016 07:28AM

I'll eat a selection box any time of the year.

This is getting ridiculous - had a dream last night that the NX had been announced while I was on the road and offline. Got home half way through some reveal and saw a new Starfox game clip - was a 3D run & gun platformer with old school graphics (a la Streets of Rage) - looked cool. Not out til late 2017. :pac:

You big, hairy, stinking troll!
Tell your dream self to take that back!

CiDeRmAn · 20-09-2016 10:05AM

We're being trolled by Nintendo now as well!

Several tweets popping up on my phone.

Yokai Watch 2 demo
Picross 2 demo
Bayonetta 2 Amiibo info

No F-ing NX news though!!!

sligeach · 20-09-2016 11:04AM

It could just be informing retailers of their scant Christmas lineup, hence the Christmas is cancelled line. But hopefully they drop some NX info in there as well.

CastorTroy · 20-09-2016 11:08AM

Bayonetta Amibo? When?

I read F--ing NX as F-Zero NX

No date announced yet, just a teaser on Platinum games blog.

My guess when Smash NX Deluxe Edition games comes out

It probably didn't need anymore 'confirmation' about the NX being a sort of 'hybrid' console, but Pokemon Co's Chief Executive said this:

“The NX is trying to change the concept of what it means to be a home console device or a hand-held device. We will make games for the NX.”

Although not a player of Pokemon, it will be good for the console to have a strong Pokemon showing.

CastorTroy · 20-09-2016 01:35PM

So they're going to make games for the company they work for? Nice of them to say that.

sligeach · 20-09-2016 02:19PM

I think this is the most revealing statement anybody has made about the NX. Information has been so scant and tight lipped that for the CEO of such a huge company to finally reveal some crucial information hopefully means the reveal is nearly here.

CastorTroy · 20-09-2016 02:41PM

Until the reports of the CEO mysteriously disappearing come in. Never underestimate the power of the Nintendo ninjas

Black choppers hovering overhead, awaiting any hint of NDA breach, before setting off an emp and black bagging thr exec with the big mouth.
As it's Nintendo, the black choppers will have Bullet Bill faces painted on them.

CastorTroy · 20-09-2016 06:34PM

So I'm guessing if we hear nothing tomorrow then we won't hear anything until next week. Rinse and repeat

Pac1Man · 20-09-2016 06:37PM

Keep the faith. We're ridiculously close now!

CastorTroy · 20-09-2016 07:51PM

So you're saying we have to wait 25 years for all of this speculation to be finally addressed?

Diane, the time is upon us. I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.

CiDeRmAn · 20-09-2016 09:01PM

This is getting ridiculous tbh.

CastorTroy · 20-09-2016 09:33PM

NX : Fire Flower Walk With Me

CiDeRmAn · 21-09-2016 10:33AM

Getting alerts to Nintendo tweets.... blasted Pokemon again!

Banjo · 21-09-2016 11:11AM

So they're releasing Pokemon Sun and Moon on the 3DS.
NX launches next year
Pokemon Co. confirm they're making games for the NX.

this can only mean...

Pokemon Stars for the NX - the first home console Pokemon release! A whole galaxy of Pokemon in your pocket and on your telly. Holy ****!

Gabe is gonna need a bigger hat...

Ol' Donie · 21-09-2016 12:26PM

Soooo...we getting a new Mario Galaxy or what?

CiDeRmAn · 21-09-2016 12:33PM

I suppose it's part of the expectation.
Not only are we awaiting the reveal of the NX...
But we have a reasonable expectation of seeing what games to look forward to both in terms of at NX launch and during the remainder of 2017.
Also, we can expect the various 3rd parties to let us know what they have on the way.
There must be a COD title in there, I'm hoping a trilogy of the Modern Warfare titles in remastered form for starters, an Assassins Cry Dogs game from Ubi and who knows from the rest.

CastorTroy · 21-09-2016 01:16PM

And TimeSplitters 4.
Was watching a video on Larry Bundy's channel about games cancelled for stupid reasons. That was on it as marketing couldn't decide what character to put on the box. The Streets of Rage 4 cancellation was crazy as well.

MilesMorales1 · 21-09-2016 01:21PM

Let's just say, imagine if you will, they didn't reveal it till January, and we'd literally spent an entire year being hyped for nothing.

Well it's looking more likely September is out for any reveal. I'm trying to remember - is this lack of official information normal for a new console release? Not a single bit of it about the machine with less than 6 months til release (I'm not talking about Eurogamer insider info, straight from Nintendo is what I mean). No price point, no features, no launch games except Zelda & Just Dance (or was there more?).

You'd think they'd want to start getting people hyped for it...
