Main thing I wonder is if it's a handheld or console. It seems that the Wii U is still flagging a bit even post-Smash (though doing better than it was), but the 3DS is still doing well. I wonder what's going on in general. It doesn't seem like a great time to already announce a new console.

Good thing too that the new "Club Nintendo" will be more like a PSN. :mrgreen:

About time Nintendo went in the right direction in that regard, after years of being stubborn.

So many question; it's just so difficulty to see what is on the horizon for Nintendo. The Wii U had a massive year thanks to it's game launches, but from what I can tell it didn't do much to help the sales of the consoles versus the PS4/Xbox.

In any case I hope this isn't released too early...but as Wolf Bird says; this could be a handheld.

Wait and see; we shall.

So it's looking likely that this year the NX is going to come out. I expect to see it unveiled at E3.

Also been hearing rumors about a Smash launch title, some even saying a new Smash altogether. I doubt that, but I wouldn't be shocked to see a complete edition of Smash 4, with all the DLC and maybe a merger of all the content in both the WiiU and 3DSversions, which have some differences in stages and game modes.

I'm hoping for great things for Nintendo NX! I wonder what they'll do to make it interesting.

Didn't Sakurai say that he was done with Smash? I wasn't sure if Nintendo was going to continue with the Smash series.

As I understand it, he's done with Smash 4, I.E. done issuing updates, patches, DLC, etc. I could be wrong, though. One of the things about the NX that piqued my interest are the rumors that Beyond Good & Evil 2 (which we've been waiting for for approximately forever as it fell into the same black hole as The Last Guardian, which may finally release this year, and Half-Life 3) would be an exclusive.

After the last Nintendo Direct, which put SNES games up on the 3DS eShop but only for the New 3DS, I find myself more skeptical that the NX will be a full handheld. I get the sense they're trying to push more people to the New 3DS, and adding SNES virtual console games gives it a lot of value the old 3DS does not have.

Earthbound on the 24th!

I hope he comes back for the new Smash. I'm a bit of a YouTube junkie, and I watched the Game Theorist's discussion on the surprisingly sad story of Smash 4 and how Sakurai might have felt about it. It's just as the channel advertises: A theory. But it is an interesting discussion. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_2OPd25FOw

I need that new 3DS. NEED IT.

Seen that video before. Also contributes to my skepticism that there'll be a new Smash anytime soon, doubtfully by the NX's release. At best I think the NX might get a complete edition of Smash for WiiU/3DS that has all DLC and a merger of the content. If there is another Smash, I imagine it's years off. And I have mixed feelings about a new one, possibly like Sakurai himself.

I'm guesstimating it will be released later this year. As for a new Smash Bros game, I'm sure one will be released for it, but not until a few years anyways.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to this thing, but I'll just wait to see what the future brings.
