NX Won't Be Revealed at E3

Nintendo has no plans to talk "about the NX until 2016."

Nintendo will not share any new information or show NX, its next gaming console, at E3 2015.

The company's chief executive Satoru Iwata was asked specific details on the console during a recent meeting with investors, but replied by reiterating that Nintendo does not plan to fully reveal NX until 2016.

"We do not plan on talking specifics about the NX until 2016," he said, as translated by Kotaku.

Iwata would not provide any additional details or a release window for the NX, only repeating that it is "calling it a 'new concept' ... not thinking of [it] as a 'simple replacement' for the 3DS or the Wii U."

Smart phone titles and quality of life experiences would also not be represented at E3.

"Since we understand that E3 is an event for dedicated video game machines, we do not intend to discuss the smart devices as well as quality of life," said Iwata.

Also during the presentation, Iwata said that the NX was announced before Nintendo was ready to fully reveal it, saying the company wanted to affirm its commitment to home gaming.

The sentiment echoes previous statements Iwata made during the initial NX announcement to the same effect: "As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename 'NX'."

"It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year."
