Something like FBI manager?
Will we be able to play online?
Fire Emblem 2018 randomizer?
Pokehax?
Emulators?
Tell me what I should be expecting?

Nothing that hasn't been done before, that's definite.
HD rumble may will be used for something interesting new (actually it already was used for playing sounds. Maybe there is more to explore, it really is a matter of someone having a interesting idea), but indeed this system hasn't anything exotic or new that really sticks out unlike e.g. the DS (Dualscreen+touchscreen to a time not everyone already owned a portable device with touchscreen) or the Wii that distributed gyroscopes and accelerometers to the masses and even gave us this new strange technology that allowed pointer function on non-crt TVs. Non-CRT pointer function for a reasonable price? Wild and alot of fun.
The NX exists in a time everyone has a smartphone in there pocket. Why should I develop anything with a new concept for the NX if it also runs on my smartphone? It even uses the same CPU architecture as almost all smartphones out there...
Yet there seem to be alot of very enthusiastic people, people who really love the NX and I believe this enthusiasm and love will lead to a good maybe even excellent homebrew support. I believe we will get (pretty much) everything we know from all the other platforms. The chances that NX will be the platform to be on as homebrew dev in the next years seem really high to me :)

Also don't forget: Two separate movement tracking HD-rumble enabled devices that you always carry with you. Two of them. That seems reasonable for a 3D environment and indeed as for now mostly unexplored terrain for homebrew developers. Maybe we will see something interesting made with that as well. Also this system is by far more accessible in price and in programming skill/math needed then the other interesting devices of our time (VR devices).

I think you're abit to pessimistic, understandable after the WiiU yet not really justified.
You really should begin to believe that interesting times in regard of NX homebrew is coming :)
We will get Kodi and emulators and all this stuff and the chances really aren't bad for a couple of homebrews that will "define" this console for you down the line in the same way specific games "define" a console. Maybe one or two of them will explore new interesting concepts.

It's not definite that we won't see anything new and until now unexplored on this system. That's for sure.

Tegra X1 can decode HEVC (h.265) 4K 60fps 10-bit video. It can output high quality video to your 4K TV, if someone makes a good video player for it.

BTW, not even PS4 Pro has any HEVC hardware support, that's why they don't support 4K Bluray. Which is really weird because Sony owns movie studios and invented the Blu-ray disc. Nintendo Switch is better than PS4 Pro when it comes to video.

If you were to get banned, I wonder if someone could come up with an "unbanning" tool, or method.
Not this time.

This time every console has a different TLS certificate that is used to authenticate every single request to Nintendo's servers. If they ban your certificate you won't be able to connect ever again. Console unique keys are stored in the fuses and can't be modified.

It will not only become self-aware, but reproduce.

Some people leave school still experiencing a constant state of wonder, when dealing with the world.

Let me help you here.

How banning consoles works.

Console has hidden letter/number tag. Tag is somewhere where its not easily changed. Service provider looks at number on login. If number is on blacklist - you get bootet. If you can find a way to change number - number still has to be "valid number" of devices produced - which usually means, black market for console numbers of people that don't want to go online and sell their console identities.

Or - someone hacks into Nintendos networks and with luck? steals the number generation method, or deletes bannlist entries.

Then plays hide and seek with the law - for some school kid wanting to be "unbanned" for using pirated copies on Nintendos networks.

You first.

Doesnt mean later tough someone comes up with something like X360 had for RGH XbL emulator, but was paid only for rich kids who wanted almost surely only go online with RGH to cheat as I don't see why would anyone pay a lot for small time of online... And I also wonder how the hell did they have so many unbanned keys for the service, maybe stolen or from the huge amount of dead ROD xbox360 that they can buy cheap, fix them reballing and selling modded only for offline playing while stealing their key...
