The recent trailer of the Nintendo NX or the Nintendo Switch is quite eye catching. You get to look at Nintendo's most intuitive video game console design till date. Everybody was expecting the console to come up this week, but it looks like there is going to further delays in its official launch. 

Nintendo's official, Dr. Serkan Toto had this to tweet regarding the delay, "No trolling intended and take this one with a big grain of salt," he tweeted. "But I was told not to expect [an] NX reveal this week. Might be wrong!"

The initial decided date for the launch was October 21, 2016 as informed through Nintendo Direct. But, Toto informed that Nintendo Switch (NX) will be discussed in the upcoming Q2 earnings report which is scheduled for next week. However, viewers should not expect much from this event as the company is planning to maintain discretion on the topic.

Nintendo Switch (NX) has been hyped up so much due to its teasers and trailers and now with such a big delay, fans could get disappointed after waiting for weeks. Till now, there is no confirmed release date but trailers do speak of a release date in March 2017. 

Nintendo might have given a confirmed month through the trailer but it would have been prudent if it could announce the exact date for the release. The tiring wait for the console to come out is making the fans mad and this could lower the excitement among the Nintendo fanatics.

Even Reggie Fils-Aime, the president at Nintendo of America stated that an improved marketing campaign for the console needs to be used. The mistakes made during the reveal time of Nintendo Wii U should not be repeated.

"One of the things that we have to do better when we launch the NX [is] we have to do a better job communicating the positioning for the product," he stated. "We have to do a better job helping people to understand its uniqueness and what that means for the game playing experience."
