Do these images remind anyone else of the artwork for Super Mario RPG?

The 3D Boxy one resembled 3D Dot Game Heroes more than it does Minecraft, but I assure you the fans of MC won't make that distinction and just call it Minecraft. Heh.

this seems kinda like you're splitting hairs here. lol

i'm just REALLY glad that the voxel Link isn't on the cover of the box, honestly so we don't have more of the "y cant metroid crawl???" suddenly be a part of zelda ):

"where minecraft link???? how 2 strt w minecraft link????"

Before the 360/PS3/Wii generation (and arguably before the PS2 generation) console generations were basically only 5 years long. If anything, this is a return to form as last gen was excessively long.

Console manufacturers start working on the next console almost immediately after the current one begins being mass produced, but obviously they don't say anything about it until it's in a state where it's ready to show off or at least talk about.
The Wii U was largely a flop so of course Nintendo announced that they're working on a new project. They haven't shown anything about it yet but it's no secret that there's a new console in the works, nor should there be. Remember how long "The Revolution" was a thing before the Wii was actually shown off? We knew about that for years, just not what it would entail. The Ultra 64 and even the Dolphin were the same way.

NX is no different.

I'm really curious what direction Nintendo's going to take their next console. I don't really think the NX is a new console (Nintendo Xperience for Android and iOS =)) but the Wii U certainly feels behind the competition and most modern developers laugh when asked about their support for Nintendo. Like - most people want something that'll play the best and newest (which...frankly, if they're developing games still for PS3, there's absolutely no reason the Wii U can't handle them, besides the devkit or the lack of interest of developing software compatible with the GamePad) and Nintendo doesn't really offer that - they offer interesting experiences that greatly differ from what you'd find on other consoles [okay, there's LittleBigPlanet for the PS line, but Mario Maker is just SO approachable in comparison]

It'd be really interesting to see if Nintendo pulls out all the stops and actually makes a gargantuan $600 sex machine of a console this time around instead of the typical Nintendo practice.

actually, it'd be way more interesting if the NX was

a cloud player for use with the Wii U (or not. "No Wii U? No problem!") for sale in both gaming economies big and small with a tiny price tag, and somehow got it right where the PS TV went wrong

like, imagine if a country like China, Russia or Brazil got a tiny box that worked just like a Wii U with a pro controller and everything was all digital
Sure it wouldn't be much but a lot of markets that "just want a Mario game" without paying out the nose for it would be Pretty Dang Good

Like, imagine if Nintendo did OnLive or the Ouya but really, really correctly
