NX is the codename for Nintendo's next console, which will go on sale in March 2017. Despite being nine months from release, we don't know much about it. Rumor has it that the NX is a console/mobile hybrid that uses "industry-leading" technology.

As for Breath of the Wild, the new Zelda game wowed fans at E3, where it was finally discussed and shown off in greater detail. The game is coming out in 2017 for Wii U, and will also be released on NX, though a release date has not been announced.
