Hopefully they have a strong start for their next console so they don't end up with another Wii U.

Welp at least Wii U is getting a successor. Vita isn't. Both are massive failures.

Yes you can like a bad game, doesn't mean the game isn't bad though.

^this, I'm shure NX will have one of the strongest First Party lineups in recent memory with ZeldaU+Pikmin+WiiSportsishTitle+Stuff

I doubt it will lauch with Pikmin. That's how software droughts happen. There's literally no need to have Pikmin 4 there at launch with Smash and Zelda. They'll likely have Pikmin 4 come out in early 2017. Notice how not-droughty the Wii U's 2016 line up is right now. This is what they want for NX, if not more. There's no point wasting a time filler like Pikmin 4 at lauch when Zelda and a smash rebundle will be more than enough to give NX a successful launch. Pikmin 4 in mid-late February would be the smartest move if it's ready.

Unless you're not talking gabout launch line up, in which case lol wut? No that isn't one of the best first party line ups in recent memory.

I think Pikmin should be available at launch with Zelda & all the other titles, Pikmin offers such a different gameplay that it might manage to convince into purchasing NX more people. also, knowing that the game was almost done in early 2015 I think that Nintendo will push this time to have 2 Pikmin games on the same system/ a new IP by the Pikmin team ...
