"Obsolescent" is written in huge letters on the wall. The NX Metroid comment is just another exclamation mark. And it's become increasingly clear that the NX thing is a replacement for both, while still predominantly focused on the handheld market. I don't know why anyone still refuses to read that writing.
At this point may as well be frank and just say that "NX" is, for all intents and purposes, Nintendo's soft exit from serving as a platform holder in the home console space. They'll have some sort of Ouya/Vita TV style box that allows you to basically play what is foremost a handheld library on a television screen. That's what the entrails tell me at least.
TCG is already on mobile, lol.
Nobody refuses to read that writing. But the threads about that are locked
Edit: The second part is really dumb though. Sorry to say that, but it's Gamefaqs/poor troll tier.
I think Animal Crossing will fall flat.
I expect 500k LTD.
Not the type of game to reach a million; though the game is heavily monetized with cards so it's going to be viewed as a success.
Nintendo for once has no definite million seller + this FY.
He said Gamefreak wanted to make Pokémon multiplatform and now Nintendo is supporting mobile. I fully expect a mobile Pokémon at some point, it might not be a full blown gen but it's happening.
Nah, he's kinda right but he's making it sound worse than it is IMO. When games like Xenoblade, Kid Icarus Uprising, Monster Hunter 4, Resident Evil Revelations and Smash Bros are handheld games I don't think there's much of a meaningful distinction apart from graphics and Nintendo was already out of that race.
Ōkami;168852229 said:Anyone can say how Super Mario Maker is being received in 2ch?
So after E3 what are the games now coming out this year?
3DS : Zelda 4Swords, Zelda Legends, Metroid FF
WiiU : Mario Tennis, Starfox 0, AC board game
Star Ocean 5 is 2015 fall right (PS3/4)
I can't think of anything else....
That was more tongue in cheek.
I don't disagree I bet we get plenty of tie-in games on mobile for pokemon. Heck, the whole Pokemon Amie can be a mobile tie-in where within you upload/load in your main game's pokemon and play with them in mini-games. They're not going to move the gens off of their hardware though, that's too much lost revenue. They'll monetize the tie-ins.
The Jaguar CPUs are incredibly weak, and ARM is getting progressively better at heavy loads and scalability (which is why I am pretty sure we'll see Nintendo on ARM). They won't need much horsepower to create incredible looking games on a 5-6" screen, and a scalability factor allows them to be played/sold for the home experience as well. The biggest question I'd have is if Nintendo will make the scalability built-in (difficult) or if they'll sell a peripheral "box" that serves to give the necessary extra horsepower for the home console experience.

When can we expect the data to start being posted?
AC:HHD? Or AC:AP?
Happy Home will do fine because its a full fledged package even without any Amiibo. The amiibo just add in old time characters + personalities from New Leaf rather than the "random" villagers. All of the fans of the series that I know, and I am not one of them, are decently into it from what they know of the title. Its not a New Leaf, but its a nice spin-off in between bigger releases. (Heck, they are into AC:AP, especially after they heard it was F2D.)
Will it reach a million? I don't know, that's more a question of how spin-offs perform in general.
That said, I do believe Mario Maker will sell a lot, and Splatoon may have legs long enough to reach a family bundle for the holidays which could propel it to a million. Yoshi, Star Fox, (lol) D3rd, and the rest will be moderate to abysmal failures.

No way Mario Maker does 1 million.
Maybe next year with bundles
Japan.
The post I was referrencing was a Japan list. Yokai, Monster Hunter X, etc
Are we talking WW or Japan?
Isn't animal crossing:amiibo festival free?AC:HHD has to move a million lifetime. it has enough AC in it to market very well, AC trading cards... i refuse to think otherwise x)
amiibo crossing will bomba as a retail disc but it will be fun to see how many hardcore fans will buy it just because its AC. im still hoping next to nothing, its a clear money grab. im sure the amiibos will be sold out.
Isn't animal crossing:amiibo festival free?
That's fror the fiscal year, so only after April 1st so that number doesn't include the great Q1 PS4 has, most sales from Dragon Quest Heroes, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, Bloodborne aren't included.And now the Wii U has sold more software this year than the PS4 and PS3... could it catch up to the Vita if Splatoon keeps up?
Fils-Aime: From a Nintendo perspective, we clearly have strength here in the Americas, we have strength in Europe and we have strength in Japan. That isnt necessarily true of some of our more direct competitors. Weve also said publicly that we are already hard at work on our next home console and thats another element well be talking about much later.
Um, duno if thread worthy:

So mobile games for handheld, and different form factors for their next home console judging by Iwata's and Reggie's comment?

I don't think it means much. I don't see them dropping handhelds if they're still going to bother with home consoles.
EDIT: Not to mention that apparently third parties already have target specs for their next handheld.
strength in Europe...

Hence why I didn't create a thread. A lot of conflicting info from Reggie. He is a mouthpiece though, so we will have to wait on Iwata's word for further details.
Strength in France and Germany. UK is a lost cause this gen.
I don't know about dev kits, but I know that third parties at least have target specs for Nintendo's next handheld as of a few months back. And who knows if the home console will be much different. From the way Iwata talks, he wants to target different form factors at different regions. There are a few possibilities there...

True. I do think the essence of what you were saying is somewhat correct though.
Console + Handheld is now going to be Console/Handheld + Mobile.
EDITMpl90: Fourth Storm posted it in the Iwata tweet thread. Most people missed it because the thread moved so fast:
He doesn't seem like the type to make that up.
Uh, thanks. That's something I didn't notice, ah ah!
I think before that some people had implied Nintendo had picked a screen resolution for the device.

Storm seems like a really nice person from what i' ve seen of him in the boards.He doesn't seem like the type to make that up.
Pre-orders for DQ VIII 3DS aren't very encouraging.

He was pretty of the mark with his Wii U speculations/sources. Even people with zero sources or insight were more right about how the console turn out.
Just a friendly warning. Not saying he is right or wrong for this round.
August 27th.When's it coming out?
