There is currently a growing interest from casual fans towards the highly anticipated Nintendo NX due to the success of "Pokémon Go," which is manufactured by the company. The remarkable popularity of the title will certainly give a major advantage to Nintendo against other manufacturers such as Sony and Microsoft. Sony is expected to release its new console, PlayStation 4.5 Neo, while Microsoft is gearing up for the upcoming launching of Xbox One S and Xbox Project Scorpio.

There are speculations suggesting that Nintendo might release the NX along with "The Legend of Zelda," which is said to come out later this year. According to reports, Nintendo will delay the release of the title to make sure it launches simultaneously with the new console.

According to a report from Forbes, the company is going to do a big release for Nintendo NX next year. It will be launch with three major video games such as "The Legend of Zelda," "Mario," and "Pokémon." If rumors prove to be true, this will definitely help Nintendo do well in the market. There have been speculations circulating all over the Internet saying that the NX could not match the power of other upcoming consoles, so launching it with popular classic games will be huge for the company.

For the meantime, fans will have to stay put as they wait for Nintendo to provide more information about the new console.
