Nintendo has reassured their investors that the Nintendo NX will still be released on time with the March 2017 release date as reports also claim that the console is being prepared for mass production.
Fans are already anxious to see what the Nintendo has to offer as most reports are now claiming that it would be another disappointing product that would be inferior to the upcoming PlayStation Neo and the Xbox Scorpio. The Nintendo NX specs have not yet been revealed by the company who also said that they will compete using quality content and not with the horsepower of their console.
Microsoft has openly said that the Xbox Scorpio will be churning out at least six teraflops of computing power as the company thinks this is the minimum required for VR and 4K gaming. Sony has not confirmed all of their technical details yet but the ballpark could be about the same range for their PlayStation Neo.
Cheesemeister translated the transcript of the Nintendo 76th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders where Director of Manufacturing Hirokazu Shinshi said that the Nintendo NX is already being "prepped" for manufacturing, WCCFTech has learned. In addition, Shinshi said that they are currently considering how large of the manufacturing process for the console will be automated.
Moreover, the manufacturing automation is expected to be done in China instead of in Japan. Nintendo said that they are still "communicating" with their partners regarding any final adjustments that are required in order for a smooth production of the upcoming console.
Nintendo has also reconfirmed that the Nintendo NX will arrive in March 2017 with no expected delays, GamingBolt reported. The automation of the manufacturing process could play a huge role in keeping the console up to date with the production deadlines and such.
There are not a lot of details regarding the NX. Ubisoft has said that they will support the console but did not mention whether they will be making AAA games as well.
The Nintendo NX will be going against the Xbox Scorpio in 2017 as Sony is expected to release the PlayStation Neo this year. Fans will have to wait until the unveiling of the Nintendo NX which is not expected soon considering that it has not made an appearance in E3 and the company will not attend the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2016.
