Recent Nintendo NX news revealed that the highly-anticipated console will not be unveiled at E3 2016 next month. Apparently, the company will place the spotlight on one game.
According to GameSpot, Nintendo has announced that the NX will not be showcased at E3 2016. Plus, "The Legend of Zelda" will be the only playable game at the event.
This means that other games scheduled for release in 2016 will not be unveiled at one of the biggest gaming event of the year. The titles are "Pokémon Sun and Moon," "Metroid Prime: Federation Force" and "Kirby: Planet Robobot."
The video game giant has confirmed that "The Legend of Zelda" is currently in co-development for the Wii U and the Nintendo NX. Its release date has been delayed to 2017.
"Nintendo changes its approach to the show every year," Nintendo said. "This June, Nintendo will focus its attentions on the upcoming game in The Legend of Zelda series."
"The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion. NX will not make an appearance at the upcoming E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles in June and will be unveiled later this year."
Meanwhile, Express has reported that Nintendo is looking at restructuring and revamping business plans to provide a new range of services. The company revealed that it is looking to expand into restaurants, medical and health devices as well as computer software.
Nintendo CEO Tatsumi Kimishima has also confirmed that the NX is not a replacement of the company's last-gen devices. "The NX is neither the successor to the Wii U nor to the 3DS," he said. "It's a new way of playing games, which I think will have a larger impact than the Wii U, but I don't feel it's a pure replacement for the Wii U."
"It's for the purposes of our game development schedule," he added about the Nintendo NX release date. "It's something very new."
