I doubt it. Nintendo has lost the casual and is now making content where the casual market is which is ios and android. For nintnedo's own hardware they will be focusing more on the core gamer who would actually buy an extra device just to play games on it. There will be a small market for content like Mario Party on NX.

no. the wii u was their try to market to the "hardcore gamer" it failed. And their "hardcore" games like Bayonetta 2, zombiu and co failed even harder, but mario, mario kart, nintendoland, smash and even mario party 10 sold well. Forget it. NX will be like wii, but even more casual.

Nope...  Miyamoto spoke recently about them focusing more on the dedicated gamer.  The wiiu tried to please both core and casual but failed because the casual is gone and th core want a system which is focused on them.  The day after miyomoto stated this they released a more powerful 3ds which added buttons and a second anlolog stick. With their own hardware Nintendo is move more core because that's where the market is. 

 

Bayonetta 2 is selling well considering how niche it is and the small install base.  Again with zombi u it sold reasonably well for such a mediocre game.

by no means am I suggesting that Nintendo will start making m rated games but I think we will see them make more games like metroid prime and splatoon on nx which are games that dedicated gamers enjoy.
