That the NX is not supposed to replace the Wii U should be most concerning if they don't have a replacement in development.

Why would you assume they wouldn't have a replacement in development just because the NX wasn't the replacement? They're always working on their next hardware.
I read an interesting theory elsewhere that perhaps the NX isn't necessarily a hardware console, but rather some kind of development platform. I mean, Nintendo has said nothing about what the NX is supposed to be, and have only vaguely implied that it might be hardware (very, very vaguely). It could make more sense to consider that it may be a unified development platform meant to simplify development between their next devices (both handheld and home console) in order to decrease development time, as well as encourage the development of original content from other developers on Nintendo consoles. It will likely be employed at the end of the Wii U/3DS life, but meant primarily for their next gen hardware.
I imagine it will probably be announced alongside their next gen hardware lineup, or at least the handheld, assuming this theory is correct. The 3DS and the Wii U are both clearly on the way out, and I can't see Nintendo putting off a new hardware release for either past 2017.

Considering Nintendo's home consoles have been piss poor ever since the N64 it's not surprising, yeah sure the GameCube did have a pretty decent library and the Wii was OK now as for the Wii U.. it it has about 20 Wii U good games by including the upcoming Zelda, Star Fox, Yoshi, Xenoblade and Devil's Third. Y'know, it could've had a much worse catalogue (Virtual Boy).
I don't see why Nintendo would waste time supporting two consoles at once. One of them will inevitably be the superior one, and it's be stupid to keep actively developing games on obsolete hardware.
But that kinda makes me think that NX may only be a hybrid 3DS/Wii U. Which'll be useless, because people who want a 3DS have a 3DS, people who want a Wii U have a Wii U, and people who want both likely have both.

I'm pretty sure that when he says that's another element, he's implying it's separate from the NX.
They need to support the Wii U until 2018-19 for its customers and then maybe give us a discount too for buying a commercial failure console with very little to offer.
I don't think that is possible for Nintendo. It's been confirmed that new Metroid is not in development for the Wii U (or even at all currently), we haven't even gotten one Zelda yet (coming sometime in 2016), they've completely ignored big Mario adventures this generation (probably seen as too much work and too expensive to make), etc. Yeah, there's stuff they could do, but frankly, we would have seen something from just about all of this already if they intended to do more than one this generation, or if they intended to do it at all. Otherwise what else is there to do with the Wii U? I guess they could surprise us, but the Wii U has been seeing a continuing decline in releases, not really any spikes in content. Currently 2016 is looking to be a pretty empty year for the Wii U which is part of the overall larger reason people are expecting a successor announcement next year.
If it isn't they should offer up something because so far it's been a pretty disappointing experience. Even Splatoon didn't hold my interest for too long.
I suspect Yoshi might be one of those games that'll surprise me for the better.
it's surprising alright...the score http://au.ign.com/articles/2015/06/22/yoshis-woolly-world-review
Seems to be getting okay reviews.
Games Radar said the game's a basic platformer with no originality whatsoever and the stages are pretty much what you'd expect from a Mario game.
Well, I paid £24 so hopefully I'll get my money's worth.
EDIT: GR's review @
Does anybody know why Woolly World has received the delay of death for NA? I mean, at least some European delays could be rationalized, but I'm legitimately having a hard time explaining a nearly four month difference between releases.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse was delayed in Europe/UK/Australia because of the multi-languages but had they released an exclusive English version for UK and Australia it would've came out same time as US.
Now as for Yoshi's game, reason? Maybe they're planning to release more content via DLC by the time it's out in US.
I'll be playing the game with the Yarn Yoshi and the plastic amiibos to get the most out of it even if it's not that whole lot.
what the fuck are you doing don't you know your not supposed to take the amiibos out of the package?! 
No originality whatsoever? Did whoever reviewed it suffer from blindness? The visuals alone make it look more original than 99% of the games out there.
It too reminded me of a certain game that I played on PS3 which was also a platformer and allowed to create your own levels.
It's delayed because they are going to release it for the WiiU and the NX together.

Pondered about the switch, but had bought the pokemon one not long ago and I don't really need two switches (gave my previous one to a cousin).
