"For our dedicated video game platform business, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codenamed "NX"
with a brand-new concept. NX will be launched in March 2017 globally".

Wow, that's honestly truly surprising.

Wow, that's honestly truly surprising.

Confirms they're doing Polaris at least.

Zelda has been pushed back to 2017 too.

Oh, jesus. Lol.

[Xevross]

Well I wasn't expecting that!

I guess this means Zelda is an nx launch title.

WHAT THE FUDGE!

1. No NX at E3. Will focus on new Zelda

Man frick. I honestly don't care about the NX launching in 2017, I just want Zelda.

I'm going to bed.

I guess they'll talk about nx later in the year.

[Legend]

This will be two E3s in a row where NX is brushed off like fans don't want to know about it.

If last year was bad, this year will be horrible.

They are expecting to only ship 800k Wii Us this fiscal year, so I wouldn't expect any big games from Nintendo for the console this year either. 2016 to be the most depressing year for Nintendo fans ever.

Man why does vgchartz have to be so slow now? Their reactions should be glorious with all their Nintendo fanboys. You had people expecting the NX to come this holiday and some people expecting the NX to come 2017 and for Zelda to be the Wii Us big holiday exclusive this year. But the NX and Zelda coming in 2017 (and who knows Zelda might not even be a launch title)? That has to piss everybody off.

And then the NX won't even be at E3? Oh, man.

[Xbro]

Chartz has been down on and off it's entire life all week.

March 2017 is FY2016 yet.

The rush to release this year is real

High chances for Zen + Polaris.

[Legend]

Nintendo is trying to boost Wii U sales in 2016 by copying the successful strategy we used in 2015: not releasing any first party exclusives

Ohhhh God.

The Legend of Zelda will be the only playable game Nintendo brings to E3. Complete E3 plans will be announced later on.
