I agree and think with the NX possibly being portable and home console will give an advantage as well to those who may enjoy one play option over the other.  This machine could be sold as a bundle or as just a portable or just home console given if the home console also uses a standard controller like the pro controller on the Wii U.  Consumers could have options on how they want to buy the console and if the NX is without a optical disk drive the console's price may be priced aggressively and more consumer appealing at say for example $249.99 for the stand alone home console or handheld version by itself or $499.99 for the complete package of both handheld and home console.

I hope that the NX will come out in 2017. That would be five years for the Wii U, and give developers and Nintendo time to make games for it. Don't make the same mistak you made with Wii U.

I believe it will be releasing by 2017 since software kits are just now being shipped.  These early dev kits may be for 3rd parties to ready game previews , ports, and demos when Nintendo finally unveils the hardware.  Since they are using "industry leading chips" this could very well mean that NX is going to be more powerful than the current gen consoles out now and hopefully easier to port.  We shall see.  I can almost guarantee though we are going to have a lot more rumors on specs  and more leaks once third parties get their hand on these kits.  Get ready for the spec roll-a-coaster!!!

I wonder if another publisher is picking this up for NA. If that is the case I wonder who it would be.

Gut instinct from what Tomonobu is implying on facebook.....

 

we will be getting the game in North America. I think we are going to get a direct for the game very soon. I asked a bunch of questions like number of online modes, voice chat, length of campaign, 30fps or 60fps... etc and he said that he cannot discuss those now (under NDA) but we'll see them soon.

I am thinking the same thing too that we may be getting a direct on this game here in NA and a release date soon.  I am very looking forward to playing this and to add to my collection.

I find it funny when people saw the clip showing the difference between the 2013 trailer to the 2015 direct, people started flip flopping calling foul and started to compare this to watchdogs and how it downgraded from the original showing.  Some even on other websites commented about wanting to return preorders and say Nintendo false advertise this product because of the bullshot trailer from 2013.  Did we all forget about what was shown over the past three months already?  The open world locations?  Gorgeous.  The huge Scale?  Gorgeous.  The Creatures?  Gorgeous.  Everything I saw was and still see is gorgeous even the character choice design that had to grow on me.  So what if it doesn't look exactly like the trailer from 2 years ago, I'm still going to play it, and it's pretty darn close to the old trailer considering all the other stuff added in and they improved on since then.  The bottom line still remains with me, I have yet to see anything like this game on any other console.  

Well, Nintendo announced the Revolution at E3 in 2004, and unveiled it as the Wii a year later at E3 2005. 

Not quite.  Revolution was still the name of the wii by E3 2005  and the only things shown was what the console would look like and that smash bros., Mario, and Metriod Prime 3 was in the works or in development but no game play or demos.  E3 2005 was Mircosofts and Sony console reveals
