There were a few announcements made by Nintendo today, all of which range from somewhat to very disappointing.
- Zelda Wii U pushed back to 2017, will launch on NX as well
- NX will launch in March 2017
- Zelda Wii U will be the ONLY playable game at E3 (E3 2016 will suck like last year)
- Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing mobile games
What do you guys think of these announcements? The only one I "like" is that NX isn't coming until 2017, so that gives me some time to save up.

1. I just want my Zelda for Wii U dang it, c'mon Nintendo...
2. That's like a full year away, but I agree in that it gives me time to save up.
3. Bleh
4. Fire Emblem for mobile sounds awesome!

I'm still concerned with the future of amiibo. At this point, it's essentially confirmed that SSB Wii U will be ported to NX, so that metagame will live on. But what about amiibo? If they just abandon them...I'll be very angry. That's going to kill off the Dojo completely.

They've come too far to stop now.
Not only that, but it would shame all of the marketing they're putting into amiibo. Nintendo knows that we as fans love these things, so I'm sure they'll make sure to put in some kind of NFC function for the NX.

No..I know that amiibo are going to return. It'd be dumb not to. I'm just afraid that they'll release "amiibo 2.0" which cost like $14.99 and have improved capabilities and those are the only ones compatible with NX.

I've been thinking about that as well, but if you think about it, that'd create such an uproar from fans that it would give Nintendo a lot of hate. Especially after all the trouble many amiibo collectors have been through to get certain figures.
No, if anything, they'll release another patch in Smash Bros to update the AI. I can't imagine the NFC feature changing too much, because it would make amiibo too costly to produce in mass otherwise.

This is the best-case scenario. If this happens, the Dojo will live on for a long, LONG time. Considering they likely will not release a new Smash on it. |

Nintendo would be fools among fools if they stopped Amiibo this early in the game. NFC is such a simple and cheap technology that it'd be a snap to include it in the NX and have it function exactly as it does on the WiiU/3DS. The success of Amiibo has pretty much confirmed NX compatibility without need for announcing, 'By the way, it scans Nintendolls too'. Don't worry about the future of Amiibo, nothing's gonna change.

Still curious as to how that FE game is going to work. I'm inclined to believe it'll involve Marth, but I can't think of anything else.

Of course it'll have Marth, Megasparker.

Gaiden, Genealogy, Thracia, Binding Blade, Rekka no Ken, Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn
That is a significant amount tbh

(No seriously)I'm not rooting for that idea, but I'm honestly not sure what else could come from a FE mobile game...thoughts? |

Didn't part of the investor meeting say that Nintendo had a lot of sales with Amiibo and would figure of continuing the brand?
Because if they're continuing the brand, and Smash 4 gets ported to NX, I figure that everything about Amiibo would as well - NX has to have NFC support, or at the very least the Smash 4 port will need the Gamepad to continue the use of custom stages, drawing on snapshots, etc.
