NX not coming until March 2017, Zelda still coming to Wii U but not until March 2017.

So their big releases this year are...that Paper Mario game?

[The Tomtrek]

There's still that Metroid Prime 3DS game without Samus or probably even a Metroid.

[CaptainWacky]

I have no complaints about the quality or quantity of 3DS games, just Wii U! (I won't be playing that shit though.)

New Nintendo to be nicknamed 'NX-1701'?

Current Nintendo playing by me

Wii U - Still enjoying Xenoblade Chornicles X (over 85 hours now!), but have taken a break to play Hyrule Warriors. It's great fun! And I haven't even go into the DLC yet (apart from the free Medil! She's cutedorable!) Also downloaded Earthbound and will finally play that one day when I feel I can dedicate enough time to it.

3DS - Still play Animal Crossing once a week because I feel guilty if I don't? Sadly I think I've given up on Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Brothers. All the Toad wrangling is just too much. Will definitely get the two Fire Emblem games soon AND possibly Kirby in Robobot Land!

Wii Virtual Console - Just finishing Super Mario World for the 48th time. Have bought Mario 64 and will start that soon!

It's so pretty!

And you can snowboard on his shield!

And he loses his clothes to take a dip!

[CaptainWacky]

And if you try to climb a mountain in just your pants you freeze to death.

[Eggs Loki]

CHEEKY!

[Eggs Loki]

OMG YOU GUYS WE MISSED IT YESTERDAY 20 YEARS OMG OMG OMG

I always feel bad for glitched Marios. Do they feel pain?

(I started playing Mario 64 again, it still holds up. But I can't remember what to do in Hazy Maze Cave.)

[Eggs Loki]

You can collect every star from the level at once if you successfully impregnate Dorrie.

[CaptainWacky]

Also getting that baby penguin to her mother is harder than I remembered (or games have gotten much easier since.)

[Eggs Loki]

I love and hate watching speedruns by people who do things I never could in a million years (see 10:10 if it doesn't auto-go there)

[CaptainWacky]

It did auto-go. Good auto-going!

Someone donated a thousand dollars!?

Bump. So I got a Switch a while ago specifically because I wanted to play BotW and it definitely did not disappoint. The scenery was amazing, the puzzles were fun, the world was great to explore. It was everything I hoped for in an open world Zelda game. Mario Odyssey was fun too, and I'm just at the beginning of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but I keep getting away from it to play games on the Xbox instead. Today, I downloaded the NES app though, and just wow. All of the memories came back. Mario, Zelda, Mario 3...!

But moving on. I'm really looking forward to Metroid Prime 4.

[CaptainWacky]

I loved Xenoblade Chronicles, but Xenoblade X was disappointing (well I enjoyed it for a long time but then it got annoying and I never finished it) so I've been putting off getting Xenoblade 2. The reviews seemed kind of mixed too. But I'll probably get it eventually!

I've played Mario 3 and Dr. Mario on the NES app and really probably won't play any others.

So I bought Smash Bros today. And that's how I found out my MicroSD card slot is broke and not reading cards. So I get to send my Switch in to get repaired, which is great, and then in a few weeks I can play Smash Bros again.

FWIW, I really like the game so far.
