All you need is snake and smash to launch with NX. Instant 100 million in sales.

I'd probably make a realistic, down-to-earth Mario game that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots.

You know that Geoff dude will be harassing Nintendo to reveal NX at the awards show in December.

I said it in the other thread but NX should be a platform. Nintendo will make games for it. The platform will run on various hardware and be completely scalable. It can run on a handheld or a box. Whatever you want. One library. It will also house their past catalogue. Just all nintendo games. Which is their core competency. No other bullshit getting in the way. Just every nintendo game on one platform that you can play wherever you like.
Common sense really. I do think this is what they're planning, maybe not exactly but along this line.

Sure.
Handheld, $199, lower clocked Tegra X1, Single 6" 1080P panel that slides above controls (PSP Go style)
Console, $99-$149, higher clocked X1 that has WiFi AP tech similar to WiiU, can act as a hub to up to 4 handhelds or smartphones (Think board games, card games, etc) but plays the same games as handheld otherwise, breakaway controller that can act as wiimote or traditional controller, and is bluetooth/universal
Software as a Service - Netflix-like service offering VC games from Nintendo and partners (Sega) available on all platforms including mobile
NFC figures that can actually store and transmit data, Amiibo v2 if you will

Best specs $399 can get (presumably around PS4 Neo power)
Launch with new IP, Zelda BotW, some Major third party games like ME: Andromeda (if it's out by NX launch).
MyNintendo missions serving as an achievement system.
Snappy OS that makes it easy to send and receive invites and messages

I'd unveil it in September. I'd show off the NX version of Zelda, a new 3D Mario game, a new Metroid game, an F-Zero title, a new Animal Crossing, a sequel to Splatoon, a couple new IP, and Monster Hunter 5. Some of these would be full reveals, others would be in the form of quick teasers to get potential purchasers excited for the first year or two of the system's software library.
The console would be at the power level of the PlayStation 4. It would launch next March for $250.

Take a PS4, make it 50 percent faster. Solve 3rd party issue by actively acquiring a major 3rd party like sega.
Have huge ad campaign, maybe a billion to help develop my family image more but also develop a mature/ adult label and market it heavily.
Invest heavily in sports, maybe release a NFL2k, make it compatible with PC.
Have a dedicated studio other than retro forva mature 3rd person shooter and first person shooter.
And haveva team working on some kind of mature sci-fi game.
Give fans what they want as well, a console pokemon, Shiek game for instance.
Make sure consoles and handheld are forward compatible and rebuild our ecosystem.
May take a generation but itd work.

I'd make sure it launches with two sku's. One with a pack in game, either Zelda or a 3D Mario, and a basic unit for $50 less.
Ideally the price needs to undercut the other consoles significantly. $250 or below.
I think the most important thing is post launch lineup. Basically, there should be compelling content being released throughout the console's first year. All killer, no filler. That means that means that first party is laser focused on hitting deadlines.
The only real challenge here is striking deals with third parties to release either multiplats or co-funded/developed games and marketing deals.

The most powerful console ever, somehow affordable.

My version of the NX follows the same timeline I think Nintendo has now. It gets revealed in the Fall and released in the Spring. Where things get interesting is the console itself.
My version of NX is a single-screen handheld with as much power as an Xbox One. It uses cartridges for games so the entire DS/3DS catalogue is playable from day one.
For controls, my NX is very similar to the Vita. A large HD touch screen in the center of the console with 4 triggers and dual analog sticks.
There is no console component to my NX, but it supports gamepad-like streaming to your TV. You can either download the NX app on your PS4, Xbox One, Apple TV/Roku/etc, or buy Nintendo's own box that connects to your TV.
It retails for $299 and launches with Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Does his best thinking in the flying car
Console power comparable to Neo
Bundled controller is like a pro controller (some emphasis on gyro capability is appropriate)
Standalone handheld that can also serve as gamepad/tablet peripheral (sold separately), plus remote play (like Sony)
Architecture similar to competitors to attract multiplat support
A diverse launch line-up with a good mix of 1st- and 3rd-party exclusives, plus multiplats
Basically I'd focus on providing an attractive, inexpensive development platform while attempting to build synergy between handheld and console
EDIT
& a Metroid game. I'd make that happen. People like exploring and shooting shit.... I've always felt Metroid has greater sales potential than its sales history would indicate

They play the same games across NintendOS. Saves can be tranferred via a limited amount of cloud space in your Nintendo Account.

Unified account system and store for Handheld and Console.
Handheld, single touch screen, retail price of $199. Console retail price of $299, standard controller with gyro. Every handheld game plays on console, but not all console games required to play on handheld. Handheld can operate as a controller for console and can be use for off tv play.
So you buy one game and can play it on either system. No extra fees or hidden costs.

The NX isn't a device but a service whereby Nintendo games can be played on other devices.
Otherwise, I'm out. Building the box isn't Nintendo's problem - it's about getting developers on board and harboring third party relationships, which goes beyond me.

If I'm honest with myself, I also want this. But I know it's not going to happen. It's too complicated, will it be all digital? Which devices will play it? Is it *gulp* a streaming services?
I kinda hope there's Wii U BC, they could just pull a Vita TV and only allow Wii U games that are playable without the pad. But hey if your lucky enough to own one, then more power to you because ti works with NX!

My idea:
NX would be a storefront not a hardware.
Initially released for PC, with the possibility of cutting deals with Sony, MS, Apple, Google, etc, to make the store availiable for other devices (Nintendo could leverage their weight to reduce the percentage they'd have to give up or get a cut of the third party games sold within their storefront).
The end goal would be to eventually have as many Nintendo games availiable for it as possible. Automatic crossbuy for all games, if you bought it and your device has it you can play it.
Monthly subscription to have access to their entire catalog from past generations.
New Zelda would be availiable on day one. Mario, Slatoon, Mario Kart, Smash, etc would be released for it as well.
New Metroid, Pokemon Magenta\Cyan (re-imagined Pokemon franchise with AAA budget), Fire Emblem 3DS Collection (Remasters) announced during the NX reveal.
All digital, but you can still buy physical releases and special editions (you get a code with it, that ties it to your account, like on PC).
Nintendo branded line of machines could still be a possibility, but it would essentially be their version of SteamOs.

3 pieces of hardware based on mobile parts, like that Tegra chip rumor from a few months back. All cartridge based single library. The new hardware would be called The NEX - Nintendo entertainment experience ( Yes I'm stealing this from that lame Reddit Rumor)

NEX Mini - Stick- $99 - The cheapest but has lower specs. All digital, so no cart slot. Only has a slot for micro sd and micro usb for power. Can mirror the handheld to display or remote play a console to another room.
Launch line up:
Zelda NX
Pikman 4
Smash 4 Ultimate
New Retro IP

My NX would be a bit faster than a standard PS4. (=keeps price low).
Nx controller is like a pro controller but with a little twist.
You can put your smartphone into it, or use it as a standalone 2nd screen!
So you can have a WiiU gamepad experience, if you want.
Most first party games will be released with a free companion app.
"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will be bundled with a grass-cutting minigame, so you can earn additional rupees and crafting material.
Price: 399$
Edit:
299$ for selected neogaf members.
Release: March 13, 2017.
