They should be getting some good support from Japanese developers like Atlus and Square Enix, companies that have been making a lot of games for the 3DS and Vita. Even if they go for this Tegra X1 chip that the reports suggest, it would still make it the most powerful handheld ever by a considerable margin. If they can get a 2D Mario and a Pokémon out for launch alongside Zelda, this thing WILL sell.
 
This is their last chance.
I hope they knock it out the park. For the sake of the culture.
I doubt that this is Nintendos last chance and I really doubt this next system makes waves like we're hoping. Love Nintendo to death but it just doesn't seem plausible.

This is great news. I have been playing xenoblade chronicles X non stop. I think it will be fondly remembered and maybe even become a cult classic. I love it even with it's issues and obtusness.

Anyway, just based on map, movement, and use of gamepad... this is a great sign for Zelda. The movement is incredible and the game play loop is addictive.

Once i discovered auto run the game felt even smoother
 
 
Other Deals Include Mario-Themed New Nintendo 3DS and New amiibo Bundles 

REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 9, 2016 – Everyone deserves to have a little fun before back-to-school season begins – and this applies to both kids and their parents. Starting on Aug. 26, Nintendo rolls out a stellar set of offers for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, including some of Nintendo’s biggest hits dropping to a suggested retail price of $19.99 each, like Animal Crossing: New Leaf and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, as well as the debut of a new Mario-themed New Nintendo 3DS system that comes with the Super Mario 3D Land game pre-installed at the low suggested retail price of only $149.99. And starting on Sept. 9, five convenient bundles each packed with a select Wii U game and an amiibo figure will be available. All of these great deals make getting ready for school a much more entertaining (and affordable) process. 

“These back-to-school deals are some of the best and most varied we have ever offered,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Now is clearly the best time to get started on your essential Nintendo game collection.” 

Great Games for Under $20: On Aug. 26, some of Nintendo’s most popular and premium Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games are joining the Nintendo Selects honor roll of games sold at a suggested retail price of only $19.99. The list of games being added to the Nintendo Selects collection is as follows: 

Animal Crossing: New Leaf 

Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon 

Tomodachi Life 

nintendogs + cats: Golden Retriever & New Friends 

LEGO[emoji]174[/emoji] City Undercover: The Chase Begins 

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD 

Nintendo Land 

LEGO[emoji]174[/emoji] City Undercover 


This is in addition to the dozens of Nintendo Selects games already available, from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for Nintendo 3DS to Super Mario 3D World for Wii U. Check out the other Nintendo Selects games at http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-selects

Super Mario 3D Land Edition New Nintendo 3DS: Also on Aug. 26, a New Nintendo 3DS bundle that includes the system, the wildly fun Super Mario 3D Land game pre-installed and two extra interchangeable Mario-themed cover plates (one inspired by Mario and one featuring 8-bit renditions of classic Nintendo characters) will go on sale exclusively at Walmart and Target stores at a low suggested retail price of $149.99. New Nintendo 3DS is more compact than New Nintendo 3DS XL and also sports removable cover plates that let you customize the system’s look. New Nintendo 3DS is one of the most versatile video game systems out there, and this price (with an included game!) really can’t be beat.

Been thinking of getting the Wii U

Is it smarter to hold out for the NX at this point? I don't want to miss out on some of the Wii U games and not sure if NX will play old games

If you can pick up a console on special or a second hand console for cheap then do it. Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros, Pikmin 3 and Xenoblade are all worth it.
