CLEVELAND, Ohio – Nintendo appears to be sick of yielding the gaming world spotlight to Sony and Microsoft.

The storied video game company has announced a March 2017 launch date for its new next-generation console system codenamed "NX." The new system is intended to compete with, or perhaps dwarf, Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One.

Nintendo will launch "NX" with a new "The Legend of Zelda" game acting as its flagship title. The game will be released simultaneously for "NX" and Wii U with an "open world" format.

NX is rumored to have a smaller controller than Wii U with a portable screen. Fans, surprisingly, won't get a sneak peak at "NX" this summer. Nintendo said it won't debut the game at June's E3 event.

Wait... so Zelda U got pushed back to this console now? They seemed pretty adamant that it was still comin' out on the Wii U.

I honestly hate that the Wii U is about to die when it's ratio of good games trumps the Wii entirely with all it's shitty third party garbage. I wish people were smarter because the Wii U was far superior to the fuckin' Wii's motion controls. Damn fads.

Wii U was gay as fuck.

Nintendo should go back to controllers and good games not aimed at my kids.

I haven't been a fan of Nintendo since the original. I have the Wii, but I wouldn't have that if it weren't for my brother giving it to me. He was just going to sell it for $20 a couple of years ago and asked if I wanted it for my daughter. I took it. Now it sits and never gets played.

Nintendo peaked at the 64 and been relying on gimmicks ever since GameCube was a colossal failure

One thing I've always hated about Nintendo, and the 64 is included in this, is the controllers. To me, they are hot messes.

I always use the classic controller otherwise I just don't play the game.
