So many people are anticipating the release of Nintendo NX which was dubbed as the most powerful console ever created by the company. The console which was set to be released in March 2017 may not be released on the said date. In fact, rumor has it that Nintendo will release it at a later date. However, the Japanese company has yet not made any statement regarding this issue.

Forbes reported that in 2015, Nintendo got tech enthusiasts curious when they made a statement saying that they would not say anything about the console until 2016, but it was nowhere near this year's E3 or anywhere else. Now that 2016 is already in its ninth month, the only information Nintendo officially shared is a release date, March 2017. However, even the date is turning out to be less and less promising every time the issue is mentioned.

Contrary to what Forbes has reported, WCCF Tech has mentioned that a known tech insider, Emily Rogers, claims that Nintendo NX will not be delayed and will be launched in a special event next month. Furthermore, Rogers also said that the Nintendo NX will be made "region-free," having a prototype internal storage of 32GB. The same prototype which will be showcased in October is also rumored to have 6.2" 720P Multi-Touch screen. The tech insider also claimed that the console should have at least two USB ports.

Meanwhile, the rumored delay came as no surprise to several industry observers as Nintendo has a tendency to delay the release of their products. According to Christian Times, the Japanese company believes that a delayed good game is far better than a rushed game turning out to be bad. Many believe that this may be the same theory the company applies to the Nintendo NX.

It is also important to note that there have been several talks saying that the NX is being prepared as a replacement for the Wii U. the circulating rumors are saying that the NX delay could also be due to some internal factors. The release of Nintendo NX usually takes time to generate ways that would excite and publicize potential customers. Several tech maniacs would want details and specs first before making the decision whether or not to buy the product.

With less than seven months left before the targeted March 2017 release, can Nintendo provide their customers a justifiable reason why they should spend money on their NX? Make sure you're tuned in to SWR for the latest news and updates about Nintendo NX's release date.
