NX Launches in March 2017 but Won’t Be at E3

Rumors regarding Nintendo’s mystical console handheld hybrid code-named the NX have been circulating for years now. And it is only now that we finally have some concrete information on this system(s) from the horse’s mouth.

As stated by Nintendo’s Consolidated Financial Statements we may very well see the NX in March next year.

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.

According to the tweets of Takashi Mochizuki, a tech reporter for the Wall Street Journal, NX won’t be shown at E3, but instead Nintendo will use that time to focus on the new Zelda game.

We now officially know that the upcoming Zelda title will be released sometime next year, meaning that it’s bound to make its way to both the Wii U and NX.

Nintendo also seems to be pushing harder than ever to mobile, with rumors that Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing will be coming to mobile devices in the future.

We are a bit disappointed that Nintendo won’t show off its new system(s) at E3 2016, but at least we finally have a date. More details regarding the price, features and software lineup are bound to be announced later this year.

I'm a huge fan of Japanese games and an aspiring game designer. I play literally every game genre. I also like retro games and miss the challenge that they once had. This is the reason why I love doujin games because they bring back that challenging aspect of retro games while innovating upon it.
