From PC World: Nintendo's new gaming platform, codenamed NX, will be launched worldwide in March next year, the company said Wednesday without providing any further information on the new console that has been shrouded in secrecy.
"For our dedicated video game platform, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codenamed 'NX' with a brand-new concept," the gaming console company said while announcing its annual results.
The gaming console has been rumored to have a mobile unit which can work together or separately from a home unit, with other reports suggesting that it will run on the Android operating system.
It was earlier expected that NX would debut at the E3 2016 in June this year. The focus of that show will be on the new Legend of Zelda game, which will launch "simultaneously" on both Wii U and Nintendo NX in 2017, said a tweet from the company.
Nintendo is placing big bets on NX. The company will continue to offer games for smartphone devices, a strategy it has started executing on, but its core business focus will be on what it describes as its "software-led hardware-software integrated business."
