1. Third Party Support- Honestly, there is not much that Sony does that would really inspire me to buy a console on its own, and even less from Microsoft. If the NX got the same third party games as its rival consoles, I could only own that console.

2. More innovative titles in core franchises- If you look at the Wii U's library in regards to Nintendo's core lineup, you'll see a lot of good games but few that really felt new. Super Mario 3D World was a nice expansion on 3D Land, which itself was a bit of a scaled down Galaxy. Tropical Freeze was, in my opinion, a lesser DKCR. Smash was what you'd expect of a fighting game sequel. Mario Kart 8 had some upside downy sequences which really weren't weren't as interesting as they could have been.

Not that I didn't like these games, but they didn't really offer a new experience in the same was as Super Mario Galaxy, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Metroid Prime, Mario Kart Double Dash, and so on.

3. More casual games- You know what? I like Wii Sports. I like Wii Sports Resort even more. I love having games that I can play and have fun with even with non-gaming friends. In the Wii U era, Nintendo really dropped the ball with this.

4. A new and weird controller- I doubt we'll see this if the NX is a hybrid as seems likely, but I really like offbeat controllers like the Wii. I just love new control schemes in general. I like games like Kid Icarus Uprising and Wonderful 101 that offer something new to learn and master. If that is built into the very system itself, all the better.

5. True portable games- The idea of a hybrid sounds good, but not if it's just console games that can be played on the go. The 3DS features tons of games that are optimized for portable gaming. I'd hate to see this style of game go away. Ideally they should make games that can be played on portable or home consoles, but make some that are chiefly designed for each.

So those are my things. Probably a lot different than many people online who seem to want a PS4 with Nintendo games, but I personally want Nintendo to keep doing things in a unique way.
