GoNintendo 'End of Day' thought - When will Nintendo release the next bit of NX info?

Sorry, gang...no new Parents Play tonight. We couldn't get one together, but you can be sure that we'll have the series back next week. Gives you an extra week to come up with game ideas you want to torture my parents with! Feel free to send them my way. See you in a few, short hours!

We know that Nintendo is going to talk about NX in 2016. That info was disseminated by Mr. Iwata, and then followed up by Mr. Kimishima. That's the only line that we've heard from Nintendo on the matter. If anyone comments on the NX within Nintendo, we hear that the topic will be further discussed in 2016. Well now we're in 2016 and the rumors are flying faster than ever before. It feels like it's about time for Nintendo to give us something new and concrete to discuss!

The real question we wanted answered is the NX release date. If the system really is going to come out in 2016, it seems like we should start hearing some rather sizable details soon. There are so many tidbits of info out there that point to 2016 as a release, but nothing coming from Nintendo that confirms it. Even analysts have put forth all sorts of data and speculation that names 2016 as a release, but the Big N remains tight-lipped.

When can we expect to hear anything new at all about the NX? I guess we can expect something from E3 for sure. It would be absolutely insane to think that Nintendo wouldn't shed major light on the NX at E3 2016, especially if they plan on launching the platform this year. I don't think there's any doubt that we'll get some new details from the big show, but are we doomed to wait until June to hear more?

We could get lucky and hear something as early as next week. Nintendo has another investors' briefing lined up, and I am sure the NX will be at least mentioned in some way. They might give us one new detail. They may tell investors that more info will be coming at E3. You can bet that someone in that briefing is going to mention the platform. Now we just have to cross our fingers that Nintendo will give us something new, rather than deflecting with their usual statement.

When do you think Nintendo is going to give us some more NX details? Will there be a special Nintendo Direct event before E3 crops up? Do you think we'll get a random press release with tons of info? Nintendo is known to do their own thing, so I guess anything is possible! Let us know when you think the next official tidbit is going to come out.
