Posted October 20, 2016 Of course they'd say codenamed NX since it's not the actual name. Plus they announced this as a preview trailer, hence why it's 3 minutes I know. I'm just reiterating from the official press release to stop people getting too carried away. Now about those 3 peripherals... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 So after more snide comments, it turns out she was absolutely right. I'm SHOCKED!!!!! Seriously, no one is THAT confident and ballssy if they don't know So...were you in this thread the other week at all :p? I was in the know Hey now, bob didn't mention any names! Besides which you only help illustrate the point - Emily too is supposedly even more in the know than yourself(albeit apparently far more accurate too) - that's exactly the point. Everyone claims to be right and confident and then they're wrong! It heavily discredits said people for the future. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Probably yeah. I'd still expect some supplementary details on the main site though. We're supposed to be getting the reveal of Beyond Good and Evil 2 for NX as an exclusive at the same time as the NX reveal itself and I'm pretty sure that won't fit into the 3 minute slot... Ok that could be part of a later video, but the rumour/leak did say the NX "reveal", which would rightfully be today, so... I'm hoping that as someone suggested earlier this mini-reveal will allow 3rd parties to open up and talk. I think having the news come from more sources from just Ninty and especially 3rd parties will be good for some of the NX's image. Just hope there's more than Ubisoft on board!

Posted October 20, 2016 Still saying codenamed and describe it as "preliminary announcement". I wonder if a series of trailers/Directs/presentations over the next five months would be a smart way of doing things in this day and age of social media. It would keep the conversation going constantly with new bits of info revealed every month until release, and have people talking about it much more than say the usual big blow-out with everything on the table then not much else after that till release. Just a suggestion really... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 So if its a 3 min teaser, can we expect a full reveal to follow shortly* after? *Nintendo levels of shortly so probably in this quarter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 I know. I'm just reiterating from the official press release to stop people getting too carried away. Now about those 3 peripherals... Most of the ones listed are third party, but yeah I concede :p Still, after saying new system twice and new console once, any media outlet with any sort of integrity/skill shouldn't have made that mistake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2016 He also said it was an "emphatic absolute" that the console would be right for everyone and it would be utopian so... He said it was a new console once. Arguably the phrase "this is the new controller for Wii [pause] U" didn't help. There was a sufficient gap for it to sound like the controller was called "U" and it was "the new controller for Wii". The rest of the video... Switch from TV to the New Controller Draw on the New Controller Play only on the New Controller Use Motion to Control with the New Controller Get New Views with the New Controller Stay Fit with the New Controller Take Aim with the New Controller Play Across the New Controller to Your TV Make Video Calls with the New Controller Browse with the New Controller Share From the New Controller to TV Get more Detail with the New Controller It also doesn't help the console itself is seen from a distance and looks like the Wii anyway and the majority of the games they showed didn't seem particularly more technically impressive than Wii games (they showed a bloody game of Draughts come on)! But we'll see if they've learnt. They should be fine as long as they avoid the pitfalls of the wii u reveal. That was 5 mins and a total disaster. https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=Zt1s7yAqs80 I've actually just re-watched that reveal - am I right in thinking that about less than half of what we saw in that video actually ended up being a WiiU reality? Like the actual things shown; I don't recognise much of it! If I'm actually right and not just terribly mistaken - it takes me to wondering how much a 3 min reveal today might hold relevance to a final product in 6 months time!

Just a suggestion really... It would be good to do that sure, but I'd say you need a big information blow-out pretty early on and elaborate on that kind of information as time goes by. Revealing the look of the console today, the release date next month, the technical specs the month after etc etc would be frustrating. Most of the ones listed are third party, but yeah I concede :p Still, after saying new system twice and new console once, any media outlet with any sort of integrity/skill shouldn't have made that mistake It's a busy time of year and there's a lot of information to come across, not all press are specialist and thus their editorial approach is going to be different and Nintendo didn't make it clear. Saying it twice while saying "New Controller" a dozen times means the main message is "new controller" not "new console". Yeah, remember the concept of using two Gamepads on one console?Whatever happened to that? It ran away with the European Nintendo TVii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2016 It ran away with the European Nintendo TVii. I'd almost forgotten about that! i swear to god there best not be anything even remotely like that in the 'NX', region locked bullshit/things that require multinational deals are utterly stupid for a console developer to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2016 Critical time for Nintendo this now. Let's see if they can make their console appeal to something that a mass public who is quick to jump down their throats can get on board with. Willing to believe the much rumoured console-handheld hybrid is true, just be curious to see how they've gone about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2016 I wouldn't say that I was full on erect about this, but I'm definitely curious about it and will be tuning in. 3 minutes is plenty of time. You can get so much across in that short amount of time. The Wii remote reveal was well under 3 minutes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
