We dont know anything about the price yet though. Only that Nintendo wont sell it at a loss.

No, rumours all stating that NX will have affordable price, we also have several time statements from Nintendo, Miyamoto for instance that Nintendo always looking to have affordable price for their console and that Wii U had higher price than they wanted.

zelda at launch,mario holiday

A handheld and a console for less than the cost of a PS4, yet still make Nintendo money, sounds difficult to achieve.

Not exactly, hybrid rumour saying about power of half of XB1 power, NX want have optical drive, big HDD, other parts, and rumours saying Nvidia gave great offer to Nintendo to use their chips and that.

Also its obvious Nintendo aiming mass market with NX and they need affordable price also, they several time stated they aiming affordable price for their consoles. All this point that NX will have affordable price, I expecting around $250 price point.

Could happen, I hope it'll happen. I'm dying to see a new 3D Mario. I'm assuming it won't be there at launch though, but probably first year. That doesn't mean we won't have anything else Mario related for launch, so you could still be right. I'd personally take that Mario 64 HD remake suggested earlier in this thread!

Unless a new mario or a remake of an older mario is really needed to sell the NX, i don't see that happening.

It might get a port of Mario Maker, but nothing more. The need 3D Mario for the holiday season.

Nah not saying that.  I think we need to know something about the console soon. Otherwise no matter what games I can't get excited.

LIke if the console is a let down the games alone will nt make me want it anyway.

Nintendo would be smart if it launched with both, should give them a flying start.
