Nintendo NX: 10 Wishlist Rumours That Must Come True

8. The Name

A strange thing to highlight perhaps, but a trailer for Rise: Race the Future popped up in June, actually showing what's supposedly the Nintendo NX logo.

It's worth highlighting, because since fans latched on and started asking if it was legitimate, the response has been a re-released trailer with that same space now blurred out. A smoking gun, if ever there was one.

Look to the end of the trailer below for some VERY obvious "Nothing to see here!" obfuscation, but hopefully this all but confirms Nintendo are going to keep the NX name, as at some point they'd of supplied developers VD-Dev with the icon in the first place.

You may remember the N64 being called 'Project Reality', the GameCube being the 'Dolphin' and the Wii being 'Revolution', so historically Nintendo have always swapped their codenames last minute, however the 'NX' is already somewhat established, and sounds far more definitive and conversational than something like the 'Xbox One'.

So please, Nintendo, keep this one?
