Nintendo's confirmation of the about to be released Nintendo NX surprised the industry considering that they are only on the early stage of development.

However, during an interview with Nintendo's EVP of Sales Scott Moffit with Uber Gizmo, the executive said that to stay committed with their fans, they need to announce the product early. Aside from the company's commitment to their loyal supporters, the executive also confirms that they are just going with the company's core values.

In addition, based from Moffit's announcement, everyone can now predict that the Nintendo NX's hardware, operating system and game contents are slowly taking their forms and getting a life, the tech website points out.

However, the executive was quick to acknowledge the fact that the Nintendo NX is still on its early stage and nothing is concrete yet, physically. But, the commitment is there for the fans. 

Meanwhile, Tech Radar cited a very valid argument when the tech website pointed out that can the Nintendo NX veer away from Nintendo Wii U's failure. As a back story, after the huge success of the Nintendo Wii its predecessor the Wii U took a different direction when it performed very poorly, on popularity and sales. It was such a huge disappointment for the Japan-based company when it did not even went close to the prediction.

Going back, the move from Nintendo to launch a new console game, considering the fact that they've just launched a console game, only shows how disappointing the Wii U was.The tech website also hopes that Nintendo will learn from the Wii U's mistakes and hopes to rebound on the Nintendo NX.

In conclusion, Tech Radar pointed out that they can come up with a console portable hybrid with a simple concept that lures players to both take the tech on the go and tether it to a TV, a good pack-in game can offer proof to the casual crowd, and then they are in the right direction. In contrast, the tech review authority pointed out that Nintendo should also take into consideration the price of the product like the case of the Wii U. 

In related news of the Nintendo NX's official announcement, The News Hub tossed a couple of suggestions to the possible NX games that will make an impact on the market. The first title to come up is the F-Zero NX.

The racing game became popular during the Nintendo Cube days (approximately 12 years ago) and reintroduction of the game can surely fuel the fire of nostalgic players. Of course Super Mario Galaxy 3, should be there. Super Mario is equivalent to Nintendo, without Mario Nintendo is zilch.

There are a couple of games that the website has thrown in but the most valid point that was put in the mix was the introduction of third party game developers that has made wonders for the PlayStation and Xbox series. The site mentioned suggested Call of Duty of FIFA 17 as an introductory game for the Nintendo NX to lure in former fans of the console to get back to them.

Nintendo has been in the industry since time can remember, although, like all companies, they have been in the downside of the slope in the past years, it is expected for the game console giant to bounce back with the help of the Nintendo NX.
