Nintendo to launch NX console in March 2017

4.7
We don't know what it looks like. We don't know how it works. But now, we finally know when Nintendo's next system will launch: March 2017. The company's mysterious "NX" platform was first teased more than a year ago, during an investor presentation that also outlined its smartphone strategy. We've heard plenty of rumors since then, including a console-handheld hybrid, a system more powerful than the PS4 and Xbox One, and a console with a bizarre touchscreen controller (including faked photos) based on Nintendo patents. The house of Mario has stayed quiet throughout, stating only that it will talk about the console later in 2016.

Nintendo in my opinion took the back seat whilst xbox & playstation battled it out with their next gen consoles, I'm looking forward to see what nintendo have in store for us.

VerT_Rayne What about twilight princess? That was avaliable on GameCube and then wii? Now they released it again on wii u?

Forest Kind of dissapointed with Nintendo, this is the first time there is no main series zelda game for the console that isn't available on another console. The new zelda game will launch in 2017 for both nx and the wii u.


GameCube had wind waker which was only available on the GameCube at the time, then we had twilight princess that was available on the GameCube and the wii. The wii then had Skyward sword, which is still only available on the wii. This is the first time a major Nintendo console doesn't have a zelda game that can be played on a different console.

Makes a lot of early adopters angry.

Potion Hoping that it is backwards compatible with my Wii-U games. I can't live without SSB4 and Pikmin 3 and Mario Kart
I just hope that the backwards compatibility works through emulation like the Xbox one, because it would really limit the hardware if it worked through the architecture.
