Nintendo NX Release Date and Updates: British Retailer Accidentally Leaks Pricing and Preorder Details for Nintendo Console to December 2016? [DETAILS]
British Retailer Tesco Allegedly Outs Nintendo NX Details
The Nintendo NX remains mysterious as ever, but a recent report revealed that its details have been accidentally leaked by a British retailer.
British online store retailer Tesco allegedly leaked out the details of the Nintendo NX when they put up a landing page for the console this week. The page apparently contained the Nintendo NX announcement, its price and preorder date. The page was apparently published in public by accident.
Alleged Leaked Nintendo NX Details by Tesco
The Zero Review reported that Tesco allegedly published a secret landing page for the Nintendo NX. The alleged page, which was supposed to be a preorder announcement for the coming of the console, included the price and release date.
The Nintendo NX will allegedly go on sale on December 31, 2016 at the Tesco website. The console will retail at the price of $400. The Nintendo NX seems to be at the same price point as Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro. The outlet stated that while Nintendo has not given any official announcement about their console, fans should not take the alleged leak seriously.
The alleged leaked landing page for the Nintendo NX has since been removed by Tesco.
Nintendo NX Release Date, Specs, Rumors
International Business Times reported that there is reason to doubt the authenticity of the leak since Nintendo themselves stated that the NX will have an early 2017 release. There have been reports in the past that state the Nintendo NX will be released by March next year.
Images and details regarding the game "Beyond Good and Evil 2" have been surfacing online and this could mean the Nintendo NX is coming soon. Express noted that the game is touted to be an NX-exclusive game and its appearance online could mean the imminent release of the console.
"Beyond Good and Evil 2" is the highly anticipated sequel to the original game published by Ubisoft on the PS2. Creator Michael Ancel has recently shared images of the game in his Instagram which showed some characters of the game. The game is still in progress and is under a working title of "Beyond Good and Evil: The Prejudices of Philosophers".
According to the outlet, the "Beyond Good and Evil 2" game will actually be a prologue to the original game. There have been speculations that the pig in one of the images shared by Ancel is a younger Pey'j, a main character of the original game. The other image which is a human is the father of Jade.
