Oh, and no announcements about Nintendo’s quality of life platform. Guess you’ll just have to be content with 3DS and Wii U news!

At Nintendo’s recentinvestors meeting, company honcho Satoru Iwata was asked specific details on the upcoming home console that’s codenamed Nintendo NX (for example, the investor wanted to know if the “N” in “NX” meant “Nintendo”). Earlier this spring, when Iwatafirst announced work had begun on the console, he said the new system wouldn’t be fully revealed until 2016. Sounds like he meant it!
“We do not plan on talking specifics about the the NX until 2016,” Iwata said again during the investors meeting. Explaining why the announcement was made so early, Iwata said he didn’t want people to think the smart device collaboration with DeNA meant that Nintendo was abandoning home gaming systems.
Iwata has previously been vague when discussing the Nintendo NX.
“Incidentally, we’re getting various questions for this year’s E3, like ‘Won’t there be a NX announcement?’, ‘Will there be a presentation on smart devices?’, or ‘Will there be more on the quality of life platform?’ However, since we understand that E3 is an event for dedicated video game machines, we do not intend to discuss the smart devices as well as quality of life.”
Here again, Iwata repeated that even if there are expectations for a Nintendo NX announcement at E3, details won’t be revealed until 2016. At least, there aren’t plans for such a presentation.
