1am Australian time.
Nintendo were smart to not spend any money on NX advertising and let the internet hype sustain it. A shorter time between the reveal and coming to market is better. Less time for the hype to dissipate.
Some people will hate what this turns out to be. Others will love...
Possibly not NX related but still I'll share it.

Thanks for sharing that. That's quite the rumour. I'll comment on my opinions of it.
No handheld dev kit - Does not mean that handheld will not also come 2017 but it does mean this dev doesn't have access to it now. Not too much of an indication of what 2017 will bring.
The 3DS direct -...
That's better than this.

Family awarded $16.5 million for wrongful death in 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' contest
That applies for any console from Nintendo, Sony or MS. Blind purchasing is just dumb.
This is a rumour doing the rounds. The main question here is not if this is a legit rumour. Why call it Duo? How is there two different parts or aspects to the console. Maybe it's the TV portion and the...

That depends if the internal architecture of the NX is compatible with the 3DS. If it's the Tegra then it just might not be able to as it's a totally different chipset. But I would not rule out DS and possibly 3DS VC though. That I think would be a good thing and is possible based on the...
The person ideally needs two things.
Be Japanese.
Be liked by millions of people.
Iwata was both of these things. Reggie is not. Reggie is liked by a lot of people outside Japan. But he's not Japanese. I don't think the Jap crowds warm to Reggie like we do. You need to remember this...
Actually no. Nintendo needs time to correctly position itself within the market. The first impression here will be big. There is no Iwata anymore. That's important as Iwata could make anything sound amazing. Nintendo need the right person with the right message announcing the NX in the...
I don't think so actually. I think Nintendo want the WiiU to die so they can see for a few months what a world looks like without a main TV based Nintendo console looks like. Because that's what March 2017 will be. Just a portable NX that has a secondary function of TV hook up. There is no...

This doesn't mean much as EB games Australia has had the NX pre-order up for a while now without having a confirmed date...
Miyamoto was in the US for that Apple keynote. That was huge for Apple and Nintendo. But he could just fly in and fly out for that. Secondly there'd be no need to chat to the EU retailers if nothing was coming soon. They could be chatting about the end of year line up. But that feels a...
Any suggestions on who NoE will have? Do you think it'll be Shibata? The same bloke that did the recent NoE 3DS direct.
For the WiiU announcement direct, I just watched the Japanese direct with Iwata. It had English subtitles.

I highlighted practically as that is not the same as actually. But it is the best rumour we have had to date on this specific point.

I don't have a rumour this time, but some NX discussion. I had a very interesting idea and I'll share with you all.
Nintendo have said they want to get the pro gamers and the mothers into the NX. This not me thinking, how can one console cater for the casuals and the hard gamers at the same...

That makes a lot of sense. You just might be right here.
Actually no. We have patents talking about removable control attachments to a tablet like device (think the gamepad but having the buttons as removable attachments). Also we have had 3D sound patents as well. Nothing specifically to...
I get your point, but I was thinking more in terms of the 3DS being dead come March 2017 if the NX is portable and all. Why make a game for a dead system, unless the NX is not what we think it is.
Also it was said the use of hardware is different for each system, but I do agree if the game was...

The DS was not officially a replacemement for the GBA. But a new console most of the time replaces the old. You've got it spot on as usual.
I think if the NX is a portable thing as everyone thinks it is, the gradual phase out fo the 3DS will not happen. It'll be rapid. The 3DS could die...
Another NX game found on EB games Australia.
It's not there probably taken down. Still these worry me. It looks like EB games wanted to put them up and Nintendo ANZ said not yet so down they were taken. I've never seen any of thes leaked on EB games games, actually on the EB games site...
@tessylation will love this, I agree.
I am not sure if you know, but I am a huge fan of the series. If this is ported to the NX, considered it pre-ordered be me as soon as I can.

Have detachable controllers
Be a high-powered handheld console with its own display on the move

Researching does not mean it'll reach the store shelves though. Many Nintendo ideas are made into prototypes and that's as far as they ever get. I'm not sold on the current crop of VR but maybe in the future someone will go a great job at it for a decent price.
