Nintendo NX Console Confirmed for 2017

Nintendo has finally confirmed the rumors about a new console through a Tweet earlier today. Nintendo of America said that the NX will launch a new Legend of Zelda game simultaneously with the Wii U version. The first showing of the NX, rumored to be Android based, will take place at this year's E3.

• NX: Nintendo previously announced that it would release more information about its next system, code-named NX, this year. As the first announcement of any NX information, Nintendo confirmed that NX is scheduled to launch in March 2017. 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.
• The Legend of Zelda: The latest installment in this classic franchise is scheduled to launch simultaneously for both Wii U and NX, and both versions of the game have been in development in tandem. Because developers need more time to polish the game, it will launch in 2017, but it will be the focus of Nintendo’s presence at E3.
