Nintendo announced on its Facebook page early Wednesday morning that the console, currently code-named the NX, would arrive in March 2017.
A separate announcement says the new Legend of Zelda game will launch simultaneously on the Wii U and NX in 2017.

Nintendo is promising both the console and the Zelda title will be the company's focus at E3 in June this year. Few details have been released about either.
The unnamed Zelda title would be the first new console entry for the series since 2011's "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword." The Wii U has only seen HD remakes of "The Wind Waker" and "Twilight Princess."
The company has faced poor sales of its Wii U system as it faced difficulty differentiating its new console from its predecessor, the hot-selling Wii.
