I'd like to see the return of cartridges too.. Faster loading times, smaller console size, etc..

But this move would be highly unlikely and would probably alienate even more 3rd part devs

You aren't Patrick Star, so you shouldn't live under a rock. Newsflash: Third party support can't get worse for a Nintendo home console anymore.

They can have a range of sizes and hardly any games would need as much as 32GB. In a lot of cases, 8GB or even 4GB would be sufficient.

Games on next console will be larger (1080p, more complex and more detailed games), for example, Mario Kart 8 is around 8GB and Mario Kart Wii is around 3GB, also Xenoblade X is over 20GB.

This.  And solid state media should have a capacity equal to or greater than any other readily available media to completely remove any doubt, blame, or bias on the media.  I promise if you had 32 GB max SD cards vs 50 GB BluRay somebody is going to bitch about it and draw up N64 comparisons and theres always going to be that hate and bias.  If you have 64 GB SD cards while everyone else is using 50 GB BD ROM, and the SD cards are 120 MB/sec vs the BD 25 kbps (that sustained random access transfer rate tho) nobody will be able to open their mouth to talk shit about Nintendo making bad decisions "again".  There would be absolutely no argument against "cartridge vs disc" when the cartridge is the same price, infinitely faster, and higher capacity.  Doesn't even have to be writeable because the competitions BD ROM isn't writeable either.  Even if the cart is a dollar or two more you can sell it as more convenient, faster, less space on the shelf, smaller console with less noise, etc.
