What do you want from NX?
Araden64:
I want them to do away with the tablet control and add gamecube backwards compatability. Maybe remote play with the new 3ds too.
I haven't bought a Nintendo tv console since the gamecube just because both of the wiis seemed so gimmicky to me. And the library seemed so limited.

C or G
Even if it was only for a couple of years, it'd be so cool to say that Nintendo has the most powerful console, after being behind for the last few.
However, I only just got my Wii-U so it'd be great if Nintendo could just ride it out for the next 2-3 years, get some amazing 3rd party games and wait to see what Sony and Microsoft do with the 'PS5' and 'XBOX TWO'

I feel like power is the reason why Nintendo isn't getting third-party support now, and third-party support is what is killing them when people think about buying a Wii U.
People don't think "The Wii U has Super Smash Brothers, Mario, Splatoon" etc., instead they think "If I buy this I won't be getting X' with X being pretty much every third party game.
By that math, the list of 'deficiencies' in the Wii U lineup is longer than its list of positives, making it look worse than it is.

My vote, using my own options, is A/F/I because:
A: They need to close the power gap, which will both make third-party development less work (since porting will become a more straightforward process) and remove one of the largest knocks against it. After all, look at how much flak the Xbox One has gotten for what amounts to a 5-10% difference in power, and consider, the Wii U has it 5 times worse!
F: I think Nintendo's penchant for simpler, more colorful games would translate better to VR (at its current level of technical sophistication) than 'traditional' big-budget games will. And I would love to see Metroid Prime in VR. The fact that in-universe you are wearing a helmet makes the 'I've got a thing on my head' aspect of VR go from being an irritation to being immersive!
As long as they don't call it 'Virtual Boy 2', they'll be fine.
I: Announcing the NX makes it feel like Nintendo is holding back for the NX release. And yes, they DO need to have a killer lineup when it launches, but what they don't need is anything that creates the impression that the Wii U is low-priority for Nintendo, especially not with the NX launch at least a year out.
ZX the Hedgehog:
With what I've seen, it is going to be D, though from what seems to be implied (the NX will be less powerful than the PS4), there is a good possibility that the end result may be H.

How cheap will the games be? And is there any benefit to owning 8 and 16 bit games when there are already countless amounts of them out there? I'm just saying. Why not just make games for the older consoles? How is this one different? It sounds good, but will this console last long? How is it any different than all the retro consoles?

Pretty sure you are thinking of something else.
Nintendo NX is Nintendo's next system. Wii 3 if you will
