Nintendo NX Launches Worldwide in March 2017
任天堂下一代新主机「NX」预定明年 3 月上市 《萨尔达传说》新作将跨 Wii U / NX 推出

　　任天堂今（27）日透过官方 Twitter 宣布，开发中的全新概念游乐器主机「NX（开发代号）」预定 2017 年推出。 原定 2016 年推出的 Wii U 动作冒险游戏《萨尔达传说最新作（暂称）》，为了进一步提升质量而决定延后至 2017 年推出，并从原本的 Wii U 独占改为 Wii U / NX 版同时推出。

　　NX 是任天堂于 2015 年 3 月在「任天堂、DeNA 业务 / 资本合作 共同记者发表会」上宣布的下一代新主机开发代号，目前只知道该主机将采用全新概念，其余包括型态（家用 / 携带）、规格等至今仍无任何具体消息公布。 如今则是在今日举办的任天堂财报发表会上确认了上市时间，不过官方表示在今年 6 月的 E3 展上将不会展出 NX，而是会把焦点摆在《萨尔达传说最新作》上。

　　《萨尔达传说最新作》是 2014 年 E3 展前夕公布的《萨尔达传说》系列 Wii U 本传最新作，将采用系列首见的「开放世界」架构来打造冒险舞台。 发表至今虽曾多次公布开发中的内容进度，不过上市日期从最初的 2015 年延后至 2016 年，如今又再度宣布为了提升质量而延后至 2017 年，而且将比照当年的《萨尔达传说：黄昏公主》的前例，直接跨新旧世代的 Wii U 与 NX 发行。

Nintendo: Outlook for fiscal year ending March 31, 2017

For Nintendo 3DS, we will releasePokémon Sun/Pokémon Moonglobally in winter of 2016 (holiday 2016 in the U.S. and late 2016 in Europe). These are the latest titles from the Pokémon series, which has sold 200 million units worldwide since the first title from the series released 20 years ago. We will also release a number of titles includingKirby: Planet Robobot andMetroid Prime: Federation Force.Strongly anticipated titles from third-party publishers are also scheduled for release.

At the same time, we will aim to further expand sales by offering new gaming experiences with the use of amiibo.

We believe this will keep games actively played and maintain their popularity. Also, for our smart device business, followingMiitomo, we will continuously release new apps in order to expand the revenue base as a business.

Based on these efforts, we project, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, net sales of 500.0 billion yen, an operating income of 45.0 billion yen, an ordinary income of 45.0 billion yen and profit attributable to owners of parent of 35.0 billion yen.

Open-world beat ’em up The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa coming to Switch

   

“Existential open-world beat ’em up” The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa is coming to Switch, publisher Circle Entertainment and developer Yeo announced. A release date was not announced.

The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa first launched for PC via Steam in May.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

High school gang leader Ringo Ishikawa is trying to live through his last autumn before graduation. With his best friends.

You should play it if:

You’re fond of good stories with strong dialogues (especially about growing up).
You’re a fighting games enthusiast (you’ll get your hands on some unique brawl mechanics and I promise you’ll be satisfied).
You’re into some yakuza-delinquent aesthetics.
Basically, the game is an existential open-world beat’em up with some school sim elements. It has a little of everything: a town to explore, day-night cycle, NPCs on their own schedules, battle grinding, school grinding, mini-games (ping-pong, billiards, video-poker, video-game console with one game, etc.) and so on.

But the main thing is the story I’m trying to tell. And I designed the game to make you feel this story. So it’s not about rival gangs, or taking over turfs, or anything. You just live there and feel. And that’s all.

华尔街日报任天堂将于2019下半年推出新型Switch
转载 - 游民星空（https://www.gamersky.com/news/201810/1107319.shtml）

　　根据华尔街日报日本的消息，任天堂将会在 2019 年下半年推出新型 Switch。更多详情我们将稍后更新。

　　该报导称，自 2017 年 3 月开始发售的 Switch 表现依旧稳定，但是已经无法给人们带来新的惊喜，去年大幅上涨的任天堂股价今年已经落后于更加广阔的股市。更新Switch的举措表明，任天堂正在迅速采取行动，以确保其旗舰产品不会失去竞争力。

　　据知情人士透露，任天堂仍在讨论升级中应该包含哪些新的硬件和软件功能，并在权衡升级这些功能的成本。一种考虑是改善屏幕的显示效果，目前的Switch使用的是低端液晶显示屏，无法达到目前智能手机液晶显示屏的标准配置，通过技术的改善，可以使得显示屏更加明亮，更加轻薄，更加节能。不过新型Switch应该不会采用iPhone X系列中的OLED屏。

　　任天堂发言人目前拒绝对此发表评论。



　　从去年到今年6月30日之间，任天堂已经销售了1970万台Swtich，这一速度和索尼的PS4相比也毫不逊色。任天堂表示，他们希望能够在2019年3月之前卖出2000万台。分析师表示，如果今年晚些时候能够推出一些热门的游戏，那么届时销售额可能会达到预期，任天堂方面则计划于12月7日推出《任天堂明星大乱斗特别版》。

　　一般情况下，游戏制造商大概会在每五到六年之间推出一款新的主机，而在这期间他们会对主机进行更新以保持活力，看来Switch也要遵循这种模式。宫本茂曾在2月份时表示，他希望Switch的生命周期会比一般情况下来得更长，这表示明年的硬件更新可能不会是最后一次。

　　升级后的Switch可能会与当前版本共享很多功能，并且兼容现有的Switch游戏软件。
