I see a lot of fun and quality titles, it doesn't have the big AAA western titles but those don't sell well on Nintendo platforms even when they do get them so they shouldn't be a priority for Nintendo.

OHH MY GOD YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT! SO MANY SYSTEM SELLERS! WII Us MUST BE FLYING OFF THE SHELVES! HOW CAN NINTENDO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND!?!

Give me a break. That's a pretty poor list of decent third party games, with only a handful that the average person would even recognize. Almost all of those games are made on shoestring  budgets where their business model is to get on as many platforms as cheaply and quickly as possible. If this is the support the NX can expect it's already a failure.

My bad, I was so invested in The GOTY: Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends that I assumed everything else was bad

People act like the Wii didn't exist because it was an anomoly. Nintendo failed to carry any momentum for the Wii and its downward trend in sales continued as if the Wii never happened. There is no reason to expect the NX will enjoy Wii levels of success.

I don't know why you think they won't force developers to support every form factor if the games are supposed to be cross compatible. I thought the entire premise of this was "one cartridge - multiple consoles". If that isn't the case and the NX is two entirely seperate consoles with entirely seperate games that just so happen to have similar specs then that's fine and dandy - the cost of developing the NX wont be any different than developing for the Wii U.

However, what reason do you have to think that the NX will have "much better" third party support. I remember hearing very very similar statements about the Wii U vs the Wii. If the Wii proved anything, its that with few exceptions, third parties don't sell well on Nintendo consoles anymore, even if the console sales are over 100 million. What reason do you really have to think the NX will be any different unless the third party games are better on the NX than they will be on other consoles?

The wii was lightning in a bottle. Notice how Nintendo failed miserably to replicate that success?

When people bought the wii, they bought for 1 thing, motion controls. When people buy the ps4 they do it because of a combination of factors (better hardware, more games, solid online, great controller,...). This is what makes the Wii a fad and the ps4 a planned success.

gambling an entire generation on a single gimmick won't work everytime, especially when the competition isn't making price point or Red Ring related mistakes

Let's assume there are some quality titles. I would be willing to bet that that a game like fallout or cod or battlefront would outsell all of those games combined. Why is this important? It shows that Nintendo shouldn't really on just indies and TV/movie related games

Those games are divided among 2 separate devices so no Wii U is not flying off of shelves because of them because it only has a fraction of them. That's ONE of the major problems for Wii U & 3DS, they each have holes in their lineups that cause droughts and are missing key games found on the other. They have other issues that need to be addressed as well.

But like always, Nintendo's 1st/2nd party titles will be the main attraction, and no that does not simply mean more of the same since Wii U does not get a lot of the titles 3DS gets like Kid Icarus, Pokémon, Tomodachi Life, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, etc and 3DS does not get a lot of the Wii U titles like Pikmin, Splatoon, Mario Maker. Nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot by not offering all their games on both devices, it's hurts software sales by having games exclusive to only a percentage of their audience and it hurts hardware sales because each individual device has a less appealing lineup they potentially could.

Then u also have the added benefit of less redundant titles, Mario Kart team no longer needs to release 2 separate Mario Kart titles for 2 separate platforms, they can make 1 and support it with DLC then move onto a new IP. Nintendo has a lot of success when they invest heavily in new IP/new ideas something they haven't been able to do a lot of this generation due to having to make entries of all their big franchises twice. We have seen some successes like Tomodachi & Splatoon but they are too few and far between along with being too little, too late in Wii U's case.

3rd parties are and always have been supplementary to Nintendo's own offerings even on their massively popular devices like NES/GB/DS/Wii. People talk about games like Mega Man, CastleVania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden as important titles for NES but the only 3rd party games to sell over 2 million on NES were Ninja Turtles and Dragon Quest, they are also the only 3rd party titles to crack the top 20 for NES. If u look at GB/DS/Wii software sales then u will see a very similar situation where the majority of big sellers and top games are Nintendo IP. 3rd parties are primarily support titles when it comes to Nintendo, it's always been this way and always will be.

So yes these are the type of 3rd party games Nintendo needs, niche Japanese titles, kid/family friendly titles, unique indie titles, games that appeal to the audience of people who enjoy Nintendo's offerings. Something like GTA doesn't help Nintendo because the type of people who like that game don't have a strong interest in the type of games Nintendo offers and the type of people who enjoy the games Nintendo offers typically don't like games such as GTA & Co.

Ur right, nobody should invest in games made for kids, the gaming market should be exclusively for 13-30 year old males. Plus I like that u guys singled out those games and ignored fun/quality titles like Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Citizens of Earth, Affordable Space Adventures, Freedom Planet, Legend of Legacy, Story of Seasons.

Ohh, okay, these throwaway games that no one cares about are exactly what Nintendo needs. For sure. That must have been why the Wii sold so well - all that shovelware that made the Wii a must-buy! The problem is that the people that buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games - those numbers are shrinking. You, and the rest of Nintendo fans? You're buying whatever hardware, and most of the games Nintendo puts out. You're the only people that bought a Wii U. 

Honest question: Why did the Wii U sell worst than the Gamecube? If anything the Wii U is more desirable of a console, yet it's sold less than half the Gamecube did in the same time frame, and it has better third party support.

Another honest question: Do you think the NX platform as a whole will sell more or less than than the Wii U and 3DS combined? Personally I see it selling less, because I believe there is a significant amount of people that bought the Wii U and 3DS that will just buy one now.

Well Bethesda has never supported Nintendo and the audience for their games is firmly on PS/XB/PC so I'm guessing even if Wii U or NX had Fallout on it, the game would fail horribly. Call of Duty appeared twice on Gamecube and did horrible both times, twice on Wii U and did horribly both times, the series did OK on Wii but was still a fraction of the sales on PS/XB so I'm assuming if NX gets Call of Duty it won't sell well or move hardware.

Simply having these games does nothing for Nintendo because the audience is elsewhere and have no incentive to move to Nintendo devices. Focus on games that can and have been successful on Nintendo devices like Japanese titles, kid/family titles, indie titles, games that appeal to people who enjoy the type of games Nintendo offers.
