While Nintendo continues to keep its silence about the details of its upcoming game console, gamers are already looking forward to more information about the Nintendo NX before its release date.
During the 2016 fiscal year earnings report reading back in April, the Japanese gaming company confirmed that the brand-new gaming platform will be released in 2017 after unveiling their plans for the new platform in March 2015.
"For our dedicated video game platform business, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codenamed "NX" with a brand-new concept," the company stated, as reported by Tech Radar.
Nintendo of America also announced via Twitter that the machine will come in March 2017. But the details of the Nintendo NX's release are still kept under wraps.

According to a report from Trusted Reviews, Nintendo filed for a patent for a system that can reportedly draw more processing using other devices. This could mean that the NX could be a gaming console that has the ability to be used as a handheld gadget.
A report from Alphr suggested that the Nintendi NX may not use discs, unlike the current consoles on the market. It could either use a download-only system, or it could also reintroduce cartridges that were used on the original NES.
But while the game company has yet to confirm the rumored specs of the upcoming gaming device, game manufacturers like Ubisoft are already looking forward to the product.
"On the NX, what we have seen is really great, so we think having a new machine coming is going to help the industry to continue to grow and to take lots more casual players back in the industry," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said during the company's fiscal conference call for Q1 of 2016-2017, as reported by DualShockers.
