I'd probably go with $229.99 launch MSRP with a limited edition Amiibo bundled with the hardware and an Amiibo/Skylanders type starter game pre-installed with the system. Popular Android apps available from day 1 through Nintendo eShop.

Launch software: Legend of Zelda NX, Diddy Kong Racing NX, Mario Maker 2.0, Dragon Quest XI, Amiibo Hub Game. 

Super Mario NX coming 2-3 months after launch to ensure no post-launch drought.

Drop New 3DS XL in price down to $139.99.

I think that would do well, it's still cheap and Nintendo can drop down to $199.99 within a year or less most likely without much fuss.

I'd say launch at $199 for the handheld console and... $249-299 for the home console (I'm thinking there will be two different HW that shares the same games - probably how Rol described how cartridges will make a return again). An Amiibo bundle isn't a bad idea at all, or have two/three different kind of bundles with an amiibo and/or a game

Launch window titles: LoZ U/NX, Super Mario 3D, DQ XI, a game developed with amiibos in mind (I guess you were thinking of the same thing?)

I'm not sure if Diddy Kong Racing 2 is a great idea... That game might need a bit of an install base to sell well.
