Nintendo could always make a 3rd Party Direct. If the NX is going to get as much support as it seems, there should be no probem making a proper 40-50min Direct, with only 3rd parties and indies. That would make the trick.

That'd be great idea although I'd argue it better if they include the 1st & 3rd Party in the same directs, that'd be a more effective way of changing people's perceptions of Nintendo. If they could have a September/October Direct and have world exclusive trailers and gamelay videos from Final Fantasy XV, Dragon Quest 11, Mass Effect Andromeda, Destiny and have them side by side with Zelda and Mario etc I think that would be very effective. If news articles read "New Call of Duty Map revealed during Nintendo Direct" small things like that would go on to make a big difference. Securing those exclusive reveals for Directs could be what Nintendo moneyhats instead of exclusive DLC and Marketing rights.
Although I was actually more concerned about how they market it to the general public. They can't do this anymore...

Name the console something fresh/modern/high tech sounding (NX is perfect imo), make it look cool, sleek and not just a black rectangle, have bundles which combine big third party brands and Nintendo's own IPs (Zelda+Mass Effect, Mario Kart+Fifa, Smash+Cod). They can do the "Zelda +1 of these selected games" type retail bundles if Sony or Microsoft buy Exclusive marketing rights for the big titles. And of course they'd still have stand alone and E rated bundles too, but they need to branch out a bit more.
