It'll get more Japanese support than the 3DS actually I think. 

This is what Japanese developers have basically wanted for a long time. Some way to have their "real" main line games, but with access to Nintendo's portable market base (the market leader in Japan). 

If it can run PS4/XB1 ports I think it'll get Final Fantasy VII Remake, Kingdom Hearts 3, Resident Evil REMake 2, Dragon Quest XI (well already kinda confirmed), and a whole lot more. 

The problem in the past was the 3DS/DS were so underpowered that Japanese devs couldn't really put a lot of their IP on those systems and have the experience be what the fanbase of those franchises expects (ie: Final Fantasy). NX can change this if Nintendo is smart. 

Regarding ports, getting PS4/X1 software up and running on Tegra X1 is a feat similar to getting it running on Wii U/PS3/360, so I don't really expect it'll get many ports from PS4/X1.

A portable would have several cheats it could employ though ... first and foremost those games on a portable screen will look just fine even at 960x540. 

That means they can run on the portable at 1/4th the pixels, which also means suddenly a 500 GFLOP GPU in portable mode probably would be able to run a lot of ports. 

Here's a Nvidia 730M laptop mobile GPU btw (550 GFLOPS) ... it can run PS4/XB1 only games like Assassin's Creed Unity at 720p even:

Here's it running Fallout 4 (another PS4/XB1 only title):
