Everyone who were around for the launch of Nintendo's Wii U console would probably agree on that its launch titles left us a bit disappointed. Well, a report from MCVUK suggests that this will not be an issue when the console NX is released in March 2017. In fact the line-up will include a Pokémon game from Game Freak, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and a brand new Mario game, all three to be released within a six months window after launch.

We still don't know exactly what the NX console will be, but reports say it will be some sorts of hybrid between portable and a home console, with specs placing it somewhere between the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 graphic wise. This is not confirmed or denied by Nintendo yet, so treat it as (believable) rumours for now.

Should Nintendo launch their next console with such a strong line-up, in addition to third party support from companies like Sega, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Activision and Warner Bros, as reported by MCV, they would most likely see a better start than they did with the Wii U.
