Sizeable French outlet Gameblog is the latest to pitch in with its reports on the NX - as is always the case these should be treated with plenty of salt and a healthy level of scepticism:

NX was originally planned for a November release, but was pushed back
Power-wise (that old chestnut) it's being related again to the upcoming PS4K / PlayStation Neo. This comparison has been made in the past, and has also been denied by others.
Some third-party exclusives are reportedly in the works, by the likes of Capcom and Square Enix. The delay may be to await projects like these.
Skyward Sword is claimed to be getting the remaster treatment, while major franchises like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. are naturally in the works.
In terms of the operating system Android is mentioned as being related, which again has been claimed and denied in the past. There's talk of support for up to eight controllers, though that's actually a feature of the Wii U in any case.
Nintendo wants to avoid the price of the hardware getting too high.
A September reveal is on the cards, potentially tied into the Tokyo Game Show.

When the French GameBlog site, dropped the bomb-shell of PlayStation 4 Neo event on September 7th in NYC, they also silently dropped a second bomb-shell, that Nintendo NX reveal is coming during the week of September 12 also!
I'm having tons of fun on my wii u so I don't NEED it right now, but it just seems like Christmas would be the best time to release. Going back to play smash 4 now

The Wii U was released during the holiday season while the 3DS was released in March so maybe they're playing it safe
