Splat 2N Release it all in a timely manner. Make sure there are at least 3 high profile games getting released for the NX every year. Support the NX like this for five solid years. |
What I hope Nintendo bring with NX is bolded + an environment where 3rd parties thrive (it just needs Nintendo to innovate through their own software rather than make hardware innovations that might turn off 3rd parties).
The industry needs another successful Nintendo home console as Nintendo's exclusive library coupled with every multiplat would make a highly competitive platform that'd drive the industry to new lengths. Nintendo has to make sure their innovation palate has a basis where 3rd parties can also thrive and be welcoming instead of projecting some new standard.
I prefer when Nintendo innovates through their games rather than their hardware so I really hope their next home console has specs, architecture and controller blessed by 3rd party developers (in order to cater to the huge mainstream market it's crucial to have the big multiplats such as GTA, COD, FIFA, MGS, FF, RE, AC, WD, BF, TES, Fallout, Red Dead, Far Cry, Destiny, ME, DA, etc).
Additionally, I hope they have solid launch (or launch window) exclusives including exciting new IPs and highly demanded exclusives (besides the fantastic Zelda BotW) like an ultimate 3D "The Pokémon Adventure" (why is this not a thing?), the rumored 3D Super Mario (let's call it Galaxy 3) and a full-blown Metroid game (would be great if they could cater to longtime fans but at the same time capture the interest of the mainstream market with this Metroid game).
For this to be possible I think Nintendo has to expand and add at least 1 more big Western development studio (like Retro Studios) to their family of 1st party developers. Granted, it won't be cheap but Nintendo can afford it and if this could help them reach a larger market (and as a result a bigger potential audience for their own games) they may as well do it now rather than later. Nintendo's Japanese developers will continue to provide the magical Nintendo games like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Super Mario, Zelda and Pikmin. So this can in no way be bad for the core fans.
This would be my dream next-gen home console from Nintendo and what I think could sell potentially huge numbers WW.
