What are the 4? I'm confused. Are we counting the mystery games?

But then how could it have the Wii U Zelda? Surely the handheld is not as powerful as a Wii U
I think it's a safe bet that we are getting the NX handheld this year with a console version later down the road if rumors are true.
Maybe it will be a cross-gen game like Zelda U but you might be right with it being NX-only.

I have to say, N-Star is the kind of bullshit codename you see on fake fan lists in the months before E3. Also, if this is true, I'm shocked that Nintendo has not one but two higher budget unrevealed 3DS games. Those cannot be internally developed, can they?
What about Disney Art Academy?

It may mean that Nintendo intends on selling the 3DS alongside the NX Platform, with the latter's handheld variant likely taking up the n3DS XL's old price tag of $200. Not sure if it means that the NX Handheld is for sure coming this year, but it's a good sign that an NX Handheld is coming.
sounds about right.
But are you assuming Retro's game is NX exclusive at this point?
I think whatever they're making will be on wii u, and ported later imo.
edit
or maybe that the game isn't 2016. Which makes sense too.
Retro's game is very likely one of the early post-launch games (same with 3D Mario if they push it to 2017), so yes, I feel its NX-only.
Rhythm Heaven sold decently on the DS, so there's hope.
The Pokémon game, "N-Stars", Federation Force, & "Torte City"

Congrats again, Trev! Thanks for your perseverance in getting verified and for providing coherent, no-nonsense insider 3DS and NX info.
Question: Does your source by any chance know if Dragon Quest VII will be June or July? Assuming May falls under "early summer," really hope I don't have to wait until August, want to get as far of a head start as I can on 7 before 8 is released.

So Zelda Wii U will be ported to the NX handheld? I guess it could be fairly likely, as the NX handheld could be basically wii u gamepad level 540pish machine.
The Wii U is almost 5 years old now and its cost has more to do with the Gamepad than its actual power.
If the NXDS is more powerful than Vita, I think it could handle a Wii U game.

OP also said there only seems to be one unannounced Wii U game (for 2016, at least), so if the Paper Mario rumor is accurate that's probably it. I doubt we'll see much, if anything, after that due to the focus on NX. Unless cross platform with Wii U doesn't take much effort, I doubt we will see them bother with it.

Cant wait for Federation Force.

That's insane to me.
I don't know. I know what the other rumors suggest, but I cannot see a Nintendo handheld running something like Zelda U (I really hope they give this game a subtitle soon lol).
Maybe I'm wrong.

You can't be serious, right?
Could take my post even more out of context, please? I don't think it's enough of a staple for idiotic statements about multi-platform releases yet and you would surely help me out with it, so please, while you're at it, could you maybe say that this post is also the equivalent of people complaining about Final Fantasy 7 coming to PlayStation instead of the N64 or people complaining about Sega going 3rd party or people complaining about Rare being sold off to Microsoft.
To be clear: My slight annoyance with this fact is just that I'll have to buy the game twice, because I'm a collector. And it is of such slightness that I didn't instantly pop a vein in my forehead, imagine that.
Yep, that one unannounced Wii U game was rumored to be Paper Mario Wii U, so that could easily be it.
Zelda U might be the only cross-gen Wii U/NX game, as if it was NX only Nintendo fans might be VERY angry about it not being a Wii U game anymore.
If it were only a couple of months away maybe, but in this case Fall is 6-8 months off. Still messed up revealing stuff other than games though!
The WiiU is now 4 years old and when it launched it wasn't exactly high tech, most of the costs were in the gamepad itself. So I can see the NX having WiiU like graphics.
Well, it isn't even 4 years old, but I agree that NX portable could be as powerful as a wii u. Biggest issue would be battery life. The Wii U pad with the extended battery actually lasts a long fucking time, but isn't doing all the heavy lifting.

I just want to know what this thing is already. Is Smash still rumored to be an NX launch title game? Or has that since been debunked?

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I saw the "Code Name" titles and thought they might be related to "Code Name: S.T.E.A.M." before I realized that wasn't literally the name of the game. 
All aboard the Pokemon Rainbow party though!

Perfect, thanks!
Please be for reals. I've waited so so looooong.
As Trev said, anything NX-related beyond Zelda U is a mystery to him.

All this secrexy better be worth the wait lol. Nintendo wanted to keep the wiiu secret and that whole concept was a bust that no one even attempted to emulate.
Haven't the recent rumors been implying the opposite?
My bad, for some reason I was thinking 2011. Still, if the Nintendo Wizards can somehow run Xenoblade and Hyrule Warriors on the 3DS (at a lower resolution), I don't see why they can't do the same for their next console. I think the idea is for their games to be easily ported or compatible between every NX version.
We have Xenoblade Chronicles on the New 3DS. It's not like it has greater than or equal to the Wii U. Though it certainly can be, as others have pointed out, the Wii U is not exactly a powerhouse.
This makes the most sense.
Well if a console version was coming I'd assume that the Wii U would get a price drop instead of the 3DS. Though I don't know how they have done it historically.

Capcom's job most likely.

We probably won't be getting MHX unless there's a G version coming.
I think that's for the better, though.
They didn't have NX titles on that list is hopefully why lol

That, and the opposite makes more sense. Wii U is dead in the water and the longer it is the face of Nintendo in the home console market the more their mindshare is damaged. 3DS is on the way out too, but it's still in a way better position than the Wii U. If they aren't launched simultaneously, they would be crazy to let the Wii U linger and replace the 3DS.
If the portable can run Zelda U, that will certainly be interesting though.
Place the bets on the mainline sonic game as well as much as you don't want it.

It has but I just think a 4 year lifecycle for Wii U burns every Wii U adopter who was expecting at least 5 years of full support just like every Nintendo console before it. If they release the handheld this year and the console in 2017 that wouldn't be an issue

Great line up for 3DS, late localizations or not.

If this is true I am happy. I want the new Zelda over on the NX.
Get me Smash 3DU deluxe NX version featuring Ridley and I'll be there day 0.

I dunno, I still think 2013 North American 3DS lineup is the GOAT when it comes to Nintendo published games.
This year looks pretty decent too though!

Yeah, I didn't even think about the Wii U adopters. This is a good point.
