An important question: seen that in this Direct, most of the games shown were ports of WiiU games to the Nintendo 3DS, and a lot of people keep saying that the "WiiU is dead" (I really don't know up to this point), does that mean that the NX will be a home console?
@DiscoDriver43 Now that you say it, who was the first (notice that I say "first" in the most emphatic way possible) AAA company that ever accepted a fan-game, and decided to make it official?
We have various examples like Black Mesa, Mega Man X Street Fighter, and the upcoming Sonic Mania. But again, which was the first one?
My choices: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (obviously), a 2D/2.5D Metroid game (when was the last time we had one of those?), Super Smash Bros. (an NX Edition of Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U wouldn't hurt), F-Zero (and I want Shin'en to develope it), and a 3D Super Mario game (a la Super Mario Sunshine, or Super Mario Galaxy).
@RantingThespian I know, right? Everything Sonic has been CGI'd, and for what?
Whatever happened to the 2D art from Sonic Advance 1, 2, & 3?
The closest thing we'll get to a Sonic Boom 2D art style is this: and this was made by the artist commonly known as Sssonic2 (or Ss2sonic in other sites).
My only concern is that if the (3rd-party/indie) developers will get used to develope games in cartridges. I say this because nowadays everybody developes games not just digitally, but they also develope games in Blu-Ray discs and specialized discs.
My other concern would be that I don't want the NX to end up with a similar case like the N64 (Happy 20th Birthday, btw) used to have, in where it had limited third-party support because of their cartridge technology, when clearly, by that time disc technology was booming (Panasonic 3DO, Philips CDi, Sega CD add-on, Sega Saturn, Playstation, and the Sega Dreamcast) in the 90's.
You know what that means, right? It means that, in my point of view, if Japan is getting a Nintendo Direct first, that means that America and Europe are next! And these Directs that are from a month prior to the next one, in which E3 comes.
Speaking of E3, this is offtopic but...
Apparently Nintendo wants to do a Business Presentation at E3.
@gcunit Let me rephrase the question so you would understand: would the people (both consumers, and game developers) accept this change? The change in which Nintendo decides to omit disc-based media, and replace it with flash-based cartridges (like SD cards or Micro SD cards), despite the fact that this is still a rumor.

I see them as both, actually. Although the home/handheld console hybrid concept is not new.
Nintendo just decided to improve on that concept.

Re: Video: A Modder Has Made Super Mario Run 64
@Qun_Mang I found out about this: if you use Lunar IPS, you can create a patch according to the ROM.
EDIT: Download the following things: the game, Lunar IPS, and a Super Mario 64 ROM (I ain't going to tell ya where it is).
Just use the "Create" feature of Lunar IPS, locate the Super Mario 64 ROM, the locate the modified ROM (in this case, Super Mario 64 Run).

Speaking of E3, this is offtopic but...
Apparently Nintendo wants to do a Business Presentation at E3.

@Beechbone Good point. Nvm then.
Re: The Legend of Zelda Wii U Has Been Pushed Back to 2017, Will Release On NX As Well
This is further proof that the NX WON'T be backwards-compatible with Wii U games.
