They don't give a strawberry float now, why would they in the future?

Nintendo really needs to focus on improving it's online offerings, it's so outdated compared to Sony and Microsoft and sometimes is boarding unplayable. I can't get into Smash Bros online games with my mate from Norway, though oddly it works with MarioKart 8?

Just simple things even need to be addressed, like having to log into your NNID everytime you click for the online option on Smash Bros. On the WiiU it's just not user friendly, you should be online at all tims once signed in and it would be nice if we could have a title-wide single user ID for players who can send invites and check on their friends at the simple push of a button on the WiiU gamepad

They could also do with (re?)building some relationships with 3rd parties if they are to appeal beyond the core Nintendo fanbase. Although that might be a bit of a long shot!

I'm guessing the console will be x86/x64, so that should help with ports.

Guessing the handheld will either be x86 (Intel Atom style) or ARM.

Imagine if, at E3 3016, Iwata comes out to announce NX and all of a sudden.....BAM Valve logo appears and the reveal that NX is in fact a steam machine!!

Seriously though I hate the fact this has been announced now as we have a long wait for further news

The Wii brand name didn't save the U, so why bother resurrecting it?

I'm going to hazard a guess that Miyamoto is developing the next big Mario for the NX, wonder how many Nintendo teams are currently working on it?

So, the last year of the wii u then?

I hope the nx has a virtual console, so the wii u lives on.

Backwards compatibility so that people can play the new Zelda on it (similar to Twilight Princess) would be good too.

I would say 2016 is the last year for Wii U, 2-3 big tentpole releases to see out the console (one of them being whatever Retro are working on)

Mind you, this is all based on NX being a new home console.

Eh? This thing might not come out until 2017/18, we'll most likely get the handheld a ywar before the console.

The disc slot should be illuminated with LEDs because it should and it's iconic and looks the shiz and it will have and optical drive there's no argument that it won't won't.

And yes it looks like it would be yet another updated version of the architecture of what they've been using another IBM/AMD jobbie to update it up to ps4 par with the lack of fanfare and mumurs of them teaming up with other component suppliers, I would love to have seen them do something different with them teaming up with Intel and nvidia (and valve for the matter) maybe for the next console after the NX? With NX being a stop gap for the next gen and a model to test the new online strategy? Who knows.

Still though....Nintendo....come on...this is the first time I've seen a forum thread announcing a new console with lack of (initial) interest.

There is nothing to get excited about yet. Basically in the same position we were the day the Wii U was released. We all knew they are working on a successor, only now we have a codename and we know we are going to have to wait at least a year to find out more.

I'll speculate wildly on the codename though. The N is obviously for Nintendo, the X is a cross. Linking and connecting things like a bridge. Where everything meets. Nintendo Hybrid system confirmed. :datass:
