I can't wait for this game it is gorgeous but what is going to  erk me is that some people will down grade this game because it runs at 720p not 1080p and look past the seer beauty and scale of this game.  To run at 720p is still impressive to me because I haven't to see anything yet on the other 8th gen and even last gen consoles that had XBC X's atmospheric scale.  My hat goes off for the devs at Monolith they have truly outdone themselves.  Now if only we could get that bundle over here in the west.

The game could have been 1080p 60fps, and those people would have just made up some other reason to crap on the game.

That is very true, Haters gone hate no matter what.

Lol!

Mind blown here as well!!!

And the silence from the trolls saying wii u would never be able to handle unity 4.XX/anything over vanilla 4 is deafening.

You know how trolls are  ... They will find a way to downplay this too by saying well our consoles can run this engine  and other engine nintendon't blah blah blah we are nextgen blah blah blah wii u sucks.  The hate continues but I'm still enjoying my Wii u.  I can't wait to see what some indie do with this engine

Well I guess this is a wait and see what Nintendo has up their sleeve.  To me it seems a little rushed for new hardware to be talked now but I also have to be reminded that the 3ds has been out since 2011 and the Wii U followed the year after and this could very well be the hybrid console "Fusion" that was rumored.  Nintendo home consoles normally last around 5-7 years before a successor is announced.  The original NES and SNES which were about six years.  The N64 released in 1996 followed by the GCN 2001, then the Wii in 2006-2012.  To me it seems as if the more successful consoles last a little longer while all of them were and are brilliant I know Nintendo still has some greatness out of the Wii U this year and even more to come up to the reveal of NX  next year whatever that may be.  Also we don't really know if this is even the successor to the Wii U but a lot of other websites are stating it as if so and I think while possibly a third pillar approach this could be an experimental concept like the DS was to see how the consumers will react and if successful it could have the same success as the DS brand and replace the older hardware.  Innovation awaits!

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

I didn't see this up but if it is already then take it down but never the less I am super stoked to see this teaser site !!!  More info to come later though

I guess that a lot of what was heard on the German Leak was true.

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.  

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.

Let the hype, rumors and speculations begin!!!!

from Nintendo everything:

http://nintendoevery...-leading-chips/

Nintendo has started to distribute a software development kit for the new NX system to third-parties, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The publication cited “people familiar with the matter” in its report. Nintendo could introduce NX “as early as next year.”

The Wall Street Journal also briefly touched on NX’s form. It isn’t absolutely certain what shape it will take, but the publication noted that “Nintendo would likely include both a console and at least one mobile unit that could either be used in conjunction with the console or taken on the road for separate use.” Additionally, the company apparently intends to include “industry-leading chips in the NX devices” following criticisms about the Wii U’s power and the console’s inability to stack up against the competition. All of that information is said to have come from those “familiar with the development plans”.

Finally, The Wall Street Journal’s article briefly touches on the NX’s release timing. Having spoken with analysts, there might be reason to believe that Nintendo will be looking to bring it out relatively quickly.

“We are increasingly of the idea that Nintendo might launch the NX in 2016 because of the softness of 3DS and Wii U,” analyst David Gibson told The Wall Street Journal.

We won’t be hearing or seeing NX – at least in any official capacity – until 2016.

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 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.
