I still do not believe it will launch in 2016. I DO think they will reveal it next year, fully, and it will come out at some point in 2017. I've believed that all along. There are still several games we haven't even heard about (and some we have, like Zelda), coming to Wii U yet, and a rather robust stream of eShop titles coming. Seriously, eShop is the next best thing to Steam these days for indie gaming, just about.

And I do still have a feeling that "fusion" rumor will be true. Which is just fine with me, because 1. It means ONE console I own will get most/all of the titles 3DS/Wii U normally would separately, and 2. it means I can still game at home on my TV like I prefer to, but CAN take it on the go if I want. Sounds great to me. Make it happen.

when it have a mario kart, a smash, a splatoon, mario 3d, etc.
until then, a wii U worths more.

not releasing in 2016 so it doesn't really matter

Needless to say that's physically impossible for a 2016 launch. A lot of their dev teams are still wrapping up with 3DS n Wii U. I could see a 3D Mario making it though since it'll have been a good 3 years since 3D World and I'm sure Captain Toad didn't take too much resources.

What 5 years. I've have componets going on 7 years now. And you don't need the top of the line card. I use the GTX770 for GTA V and the like.  And my system cost $1200, when new. Nowhere near that $3000. With 24GB RAM and buying the I7 when it was brand new. Yeah its slower than whats out now. But it can still play top of the line stuff.

Very possible if the wiiu games get ported and its all cross gen early on for the NX with one or two exclusives.  

Whenever Zelda U launches

I've never been able to buy a console at launch. Can't afford it. Even if I could, Nintendo has disappointed most of its biggest fans, including me, in the last few years. I'll wait a year or two to see if the console and the approach rights the wrongs and corrects their mistakes, or if its just going to be another let down. I love the Wii U's library, don't get me wrong, there are already 5 Wii U exclusive games in 2015 that I want to buy, and I already have a big backlog. But the fact that the specs hinder most multiplats from being on the Wii U is a very big problem. If the Wii U had the best multiplats like Deus Ex, Batman Arkham Knight, Star Wars Battlefront, COD, Just Cause 3, Fallout4, Doom etc honestly, I may not even consider getting a PS4 or an XboxOne for a few years.
Assuming the Wii U had the multiplats, I'd probably only buy the other 2 consoles towards the end of the gen to catch up on the exclusive games which would have piled up on each system, probably complete with a re-release that contains all DLC and stuff.

For that they will need to have a SOLID stream of games coming all throughout the Holidays and in 2017. No more droughts. No more sub-par game like Nintendo Land for launch. Give me three solid games for starters. Three, no less. Three AAA 1st party games. And then make sure a big game releases every 1 or 2 months just like this Holiday of 2015.

Actually, I thought the fake XDS console was a pretty great idea. I'd have a portable console without 3D gimmicky-thingy playing full-HD games. Then I would have a support, a base I put my XDS on, so it displays on TV the same way it does with Wii U, but instead of the console streaming the image via a Gamepad it would be the portable console that streams it to TV.

So Nintendo would only have to make games for one console, I think it would solve a lot of problems. You could carry the NX everywhere without being limitated to a 8 meters-range and stream it to TV just like AppleTV to play on a big screen. Of course, controllers would be available to play once streamed on TV. 

Nintendo should think about it hehe

Thankfully that wont happen, though I can definitely see Zelda U being cross gen.
