Nintendo NX to Launch March 2017

[Ronald]

I still want a Wii U just so I can play the new school Mario, Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid and all the classic first Party Nintendo games. I imagine they'll all be pretty cheap around September.

there is no zelda or metroid

I didn't get the WiiU because I wasn't confident in their stable of games outside the usual Nintendo staple. Unless Nintendo can get unique games for the NX outside of it's usual offering and outside of the games offered on XB1 or PS4, I don't see it doing well saleswise. Nevertheless, I'll give the NX a shot.

On the other hand, I'm wondering if they'll release the NX and a handheld successor to the 3DS where the handheld can double as a controller for the NX (the NX will have a traditional controller on release). At least that's what I'm hoping the delay is about. I also hope that it's backward compatible with the WiiU (I want to play Xenoblade X, but don't want to get the console).

GameCube was basically done at the end of 2004. Since then, Nintendo has put out very few classics on home consoles.

They need games that appeal to more than hardcore Nintendo fans. They will never gain traction among the Playstation/Xbox crowd with the same Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong shyt. Games like Xenoblade and Bayonetta 2 were a good start(I bought a Wii U for those games) They need to double down on more games like that.

I think that's a bad strategy. Those PS/XB owners will never fukk with nothing. They need to appeal to soccer moms and grannies like they did with the Wii. The original Wii was literally printing money and outsold the PS3/XB360.

I have trust in Nintendo, but some of their recent decisions have been questionable.

Just give me Mario at launch (and not that 2D New Super Mario Brothers shyt either ). Please

They need a big game out the gate anyway. Mario games never disappoint.

That's a cross-platform game that's coming out on the Wii U too. The need a specific NX exclusive. If they were smart, it'd be a Mario game, preferably SM3DW2, Super Mario Galaxy 3, or something new. None of that New SMB shyt though (those games are kinda shifty).

Knowing Nintendo they won't do it though

Zelda is going to sell big even if it was made for the Wii U, just like Twilight Princess was made for Gamecube

We'll see. I'm very disappointed in them not showing the NX at E3. Hopefully they have something going on to get people on board before launch because having late ports ain't helping.

They're going to dominate the mobile space too:

In Japan, Miitomo had one million users within three days of its launch, overtaking the instant messenger Line as the most downloaded free app on the Japanese App Store.[23][24] In the week after its initial launch, Nintendo's shares grew by eight percent following the success of the app.[25] In less than 24 hours after its worldwide launch on March 31, the app already had 3 million users globally, and also rose to the top of the U.S. App Store, overtaking Snapchat.[26][27]Miitomo later had 1.6 million downloads within its first four days in the United States.[28]

Damn...

Maybe Pikmin 4 will come out for launch

Nintendo has been on a trajectory for a while now. The Wii U is the rule not the exception. The Wii is actually the exception. Look at their home console sales and every home console with the exception of the Wii has sold around 10-15 million less than the system before it.

The NES outsold the SNES which outsold the N64 which outsold the Gamecube which was outsold by the Wii while the Wii U sold worse that the Gamecube.

Why in a mostly growing industry has that been the case? The fact that something hasn't happened yet is not proof that it won't happen.

Very good point. Let's just hope the NX is another Wii-like home-run.
