My thoughts are that Nintendo doesn't have enough time to remaster everything, including 3rd party games.  A strong launch line up would still look weak comparted to the existing libraries on the PS4 and XBOne.  Typically, people can overlook the weaker library if the console offers something new (such as better graphics, as is typical with a new generation), but so far the rumours about the NX indicate that it may be on par or slightly better than a PS4.

There is no need to remaster everything, point is to remaster key titles (like Zelda and Smash), and they have plenty of time, Nintendo doesn't need to do remasters intarly, remasters can be done buy 3rd parties outside company. Recent remasters like Zelda MM 3D and TP HD are done buy companies outside Nintendo, also Smash Bros 4 port is rumoured that is handled by Namco Bandai.

Of Course that library of 3.5 years old consoles will be stronger than library of new console, but again NX can easily have very strong launch and 1st year games.

Yes it seems that NX will have similar power like PS4, but people forgetting when Nintendo talkabout NX they always say "new concept", even if that new concept is just sharing games with Nintendo handheld that is pretty good.

In my opinion, the key titles would also have to include Mario Kart 8, unless they are already working on a Mario Kart NX release.  Also, either a port of Super Mario 3D World or the next Mario game (Galaxy NX?).  I really think that their line up needs to be the best all star launch line up ever, just to reverse the trend of declining Nintendo home console sales.

I know that Nintendo can do cool new concepts, but the mid-generation launch means they have to do that much more to win back their fans (at least in my opinion).
