January marks the start of a new year and that means it's once again time to continue one of our long running traditions. That's right, it's time for the NWR Staff to predict what Nintendo will do throughout the year.
This year promises to be exciting for Nintendo fans since we will be learning about the NX. However, we still don't know exactly what the NX will be. So join us as we try to predict what one of the most unpredictable entertainment companies in history will do throughout the year.
Oh yeah, and once you read through our predictions make sure to let us know what you think in the Talkback section below while sharing your own crazy predictions on Nintendo's future.
Touching on the Nintendo store expansion idea, I'm predicting both the Hollywood and Orlando Universal Citywalks will get a Nintendo store on the scale of New York's. They will be named Nintendo LA and Nintendo OL.
Whatever they do, they had better make the NX have comparable power to whatever probable specs a hypothetical PS5/XboxTwo may have. Otherwise it's yet another decade of pitiful third party support and shovelware to look forward toThere's about a 0% chance of that happening. Since the next generation of systems are likely at least 3 years behind the NX, to release comparable hardware to what's coming years later would be prohibitively expensive. Nintendo has put themselves in an awkward situation between the ill timed release of the Wii U and then following it up with a system that's stuck releasing mid-cycle again. I think that the architecture of the hardware is probably more important, they need to make it easy for developers to port PS4/XboxOne games to the system. The fact that the Wii U hasn't gotten PS4/XboxOne games isn't that surprising but the fact that it didn't even get games released for PS3/Xbox360 outside of the release window is just sad.
Interesting that nobody has any predictions on the new rewards program that'll be replacing Club Nintendo.
