Ever since the announcement of the Nintendo NX, the console manufacturer has revealed barely anything about its upcoming release. And despite the company knowing that it needs to control expectations, there has been no official word from Nintendo itself. There has, in exchange, been plenty of speculation around the device.

When Nintendo Will Step Out Of The Dark

According to International Business Times, however, speculation could be proven true or incorrect very soon. In fact, it could be at the Tokyo Games Show 2016, which will begin this weekend, September 17 - 18, 2016.

This expectation is coming from the disappointment from the recently concluded GameStop expo. But while the console itself was absent from the conference, there was still plenty of talk surrounding the same.

What Was Discussed

Apparently, gaming personality Kevin Pereira asked the crowd just when they wanted the Nintendo NX to be announced, while pointing a finger at a Nintendo executive onstage. With the attention of the room, the executive answered," not yet, but very soon."

Why This Month

As Forbes points out, now is the best time for the company to release the Nintendo NX. Unlike what was expected, there are actually mixed reviews surrounding Sony's release of the PlayStation 4 Pro, which only means that there are people in the gaming industry who are still undecided and could very well jump onto the Nintendo boat.

Furthermore, the release of the PS4 Pro came just hours after Nintendo unveiled a new "Mario" game - which could prove to be the most successful one in the entire franchise. And yet, even with an event as large as the PlayStation Meeting, the spotlight hardly left the "Mario" stage.

But also, waiting any longer could prove detrimental to the gaming company. Fans are become restless as they wait for any real news on the Nintendo NX and patience is running out.
