Nintendo have finally revealed one of the worst kept secrets in their wheelhouse; they're working on a new console. Codenamed the 'NX', it will launch in March 2017.
"For our dedicated video game platform business, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codnamed 'NX' with a brand-new concept" Nintendo explained in the report. NX will launch in March of 2017 and no other details were given at the time of the reports release.
The NX will NOT be making an apperance at E3, however. It will instead be unveiled later this year.
The announcement comes as little surprise to those keeping watch over the Nintendo scene recently. As far back as 2015, Nintendo revealed a next generation concept design that has had gamers fluttering over the possibilities ever since. December 2015 saw Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima state that they are not 'building the next version of the Wii or Wii U" instead working on something completely different.
Nintendo also revealed that the Wii U Legend of Zelda title has been delayed again to 2017, and will launch on the NX and Wii U.
