In a week crowded with big game releases and a new Red Dead Redemption trailer, things just got a little bit crazier. Nintendo confirmed this evening that it will broadcast new details about the company’s next big console on Thursday, October 20 at 7am PT | 10am ET.
We don’t yet know how long it’ll be. We don’t know if we’ll see games or hardware. But it’s going to be exciting. Notably, Nintendo calls the announcement a “trailer” and not a full direct presentation. But regardless, we’ll update this page tomorrow with a link to whatever Nintendo unveils.
While we’ve known about the NX for quite a while, Nintendo has been stoic on any specific details. Back in 2015, the device was rumored to be a console/handheld hybrid, and current speculation says the device will use cartridges. But no matter what it looks like, Nintendo has confirmed two things: it’s slated to launch in March of 2017, and it will be able to play the upcoming Zelda game Breath of the Wild.
As a tease, Nintendo of America used the image below in its tweet confirming tomorrow’s announcement.
Stayed tuned right here for all the details about the NX as they’re confirmed.
