Speaking at a press conference held on Tuesday, Iwata explained: "As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename 'NX'. It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project, but we hope to share more information with you next year."

It is not clear whether the new hardware represents new strides in the handheld or home console business.

However, the new platform appears to be developed in unison with a new membership (or perhaps subscription) service that will unite Nintendo's home consoles, its handhelds, as well as mobiles and PC.

Iwata clarified that this new membership service will "encompasses the existing Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems, the new hardware system with a brand-new concept, NX, and smart devices and PCs."

Could Nintendo finally be bringing some of the older games to mobile? They'll make a killing if they do.

They patented some emulators last year. I'm thinking a cellphone with actual buttons that operates on the major networks with access to the classic Nintendo library integrated in your wireless plan. The NintendoPhone. I'd probably buy

Been a long time coming. DeNa partnership is huge and they'll make a ton of money. Stock is up over 20%.

Will pay them whatever they want. Know why? Because Nintendo releases quality products. The Wii U wasn't marketed well at all but it is a solid gaming system with the best games in the business. Also, the online service for the Wii U is incredibly underrated. Not to mention it's free. So if there is a membership fee, I have full confidence that it will be nothing short of spectacular.
