On January 28, 2016, at 02:00 p.m. Taiwan Time, Macronix International Co., Ltd. held its Fourth Quarter 2015 Results conference call. In it, Macronix's president Dr. CY Lu talked a bit about the company's business regarding Nintendo's upcoming system codenamed "NX". A few Taiwanese sites have reported on this. Here is a translation by Jim_Cacher, greatly appreciated:

The audio quality is horrendous, and it's both in English and Mandarin (mostly in Mandarin it seems), so finding the part where CY Lu talks about the NX was more or less impossible for me. However, slide 19 of 25, starting at 31:27 mentions "Key customer is planning a new generation platform", so maybe at that point there's some NX info. Otherwise it's in the Q&A.

That Macronix would be supplying products for the NX has been known for quite a while, but I think this could be the first time they comment on it.
I believe Macronix supplied some DSP and Mask ROM (?) for Wii U.
Prestigious Japanese videogame console maker Nintendo will launch a new console called NX this year. General Manager of Macronix, CY Lu, said Macronix will provide products for NX and that Macronix has considerable expectations to NX.
In the afternoon, Macronix had held an online conference for investors. As Nintendo is going to launch new console NX this year, investors concern about if Macronix, which have a long-term cooperative relationship with Nintendo, is still part of NX's supply chain.
CY Lu said Macronix will supply memory slots for NX, and that the company has considerable expectation to NX.
Even though CY Lu declined to comment whether the supplied products are ROM, he said he expects ROM sales this year will be exceptional.
