I'm not suggesting Nintendo going Second Party is what they need to do... just what I'd want.

Really? Nintendo games on a Sony console. I could see Sony letting Nintendo put out the games they wanted to, all with features that Nintendo console don't have... awesome! With Sony's audience I think many Nintendo games would have a larger reach too!

I'd rather them go Second Party to Sony. That would be sweet!

Don't I know it!

It's changed shit-loads. Boost-jumping/sliding, wall-running... generally speaking though, the "boots on the ground" gameplay is still very similar. The biggest thing that makes it feel it's changed somewhat is the change to netcode, the lag-compensation is a little too aggressive these days, so you'll find cases of bullshit more often (people being bullet-sponges, dying after having got into cover, insta-deaths etc).

Looks like it may not just be a rumour... I hope this isn't just a joke.

I'm hoping they mean the NX itself won't be there. Not that they won't show anything at all for it. Like I say, I'm clutching at straws as otherwise E3 for Nintendo is going to be absolutely dire! One game, even if it's Zelda, isn't enough!

Never mind the Champions League, the big match tonight was the FA Youth Cup final! A Chelsea win again! 3 FA Youth cups in a row, that's not been done since the Busby Babes. 5 FA Youth cups in the last 7 years! 2 UEFA Youth League cups in a row, that's not been done before by any team! We absolutely need to start nurturing and blooding this talent into the first team set-up. Stop taking chances on players who aren't proven or on the likes of Falcao, Cuadrado, Salah and Rahman that just simply don't cut the mustard. Give these talented youngsters a chance, they're amongst the best in the world! We can't keep letting such talent down by not giving them a chance and nurturing them properly!

That whole post there @Hero\-of\-Time is why I do not, for one second, trust anything Nintendo say anymore!

I must admit, it's nowhere near as bad as I feared it would be!

Games to go with it? What have they been doing the last few years?! They've not been hard at work making games for WiiU!!!

I know what you mean @Nicktendo but I certainly would enjoy it being us that pooped on Spurs' party.

I'm clutching at straws Dazzy! I'm hoping the NX itself isn't there but game-trailers might be. I just can't see how they can go to E3 with one one game... even if it is Zelda!

Back in Feb I chipped my ankle bone and damaged the ligaments playing football. I hadn't been to the gym since until today... and I don't watch what I eat... I need to get back on it. I can't run as my ankle still isn't up to scratch, so I'm cycling as its zero-impact.

My thoughts are in here... http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58045&page=4

If it released with Zelda, Retro's game, Pikmin 4, MK8 and Smash NX editions, as well as some third party games would that be "out of the blocks" enough? Then for the holiday 2017 push they bring the next big 3D Mario game. That would be a hard launch followed by another "hard launch", might it not? Spaces out Zelda and Mario fairly nicely too. Tell that to the 3DS... but yes, you are right really.

If there's an XBO.5 and the PS4K at E3 then I see why Nintendo aren't showing the NX. The news on NX would get diluted along with these consoles (it's still stupid of them). They absolutely MUST have a strictly NX reveal event now though.

They need to let these version pass, don't get them. Start with the iterations next year. They need to make sure they don't get half-hearted and late ports. They want on par releases. I know there's a huge danger that brings in pissing off the publishers as it means they'll not get any revenue from those games, but I feel it'd be better for them all in the long-run.

That's the only thing I can think of which would make sense to me.

Because they have to try and sell as many WiiU's and 3DS's as they can. That's the only reason why!

So I've made a couple adjustments to the above based on the news we got today. What I hope for now, is as follows: They have Zelda as hands-on at E3, albeit the WiiU version, but they will also show game-trailers for NX games in an E3 Direct... there's not going to be a stage presentation now the NX won't be there. At the end of the Direct they will announce an event towards the end of the year that's going to be strictly an NX only event, so all the focus will be on that with no other distractions at all. At this event there will be hands-on demos of the games that got trailers at E3 as well as an announcement trailer for the NX 3D Mario game, it'll be said that you can expect a hands-on of that game at next years E3. Release will come in March, my prediction quoted above, and then at E3 next year the Mario that will be there will be announced as the big holiday title for that year. Giving the console another big push. Anyone else have any thoughts/changes on their predictions?

I reckon it'll come out with Zelda and a few other titles, some possibly being the rumoured MK8 and Smash ports, then for the Christmas period next year the next big 3D Mario will be released, as a bundle too, to give it the big shove they'll have missed out on this year.

This is the sad fact of the matter. The WiiU needs to be put to bed asap. There's no point at all wasting big games on it when they could give the NX a push.
