Nintendo software engineer job listing mentions Unreal Engine 4 knowledge as a plus

Take a look at this blurb from a Nintendo job listing for a software engineer...

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

BS or MS in related field (MS preferred)
Excellent programming skills and knowledge of C
Excellent software design, problem solving and debugging skills
OpenGL or DirectX programming recommended
Familiarity with existing game engines (such as UE4) is a plus

As you may know, the Wii U does not support Unreal Engine 4. This particular call-out in the job listing would seem to indicate that the NX will indeed support UE4. Not exactly surprising, but nice to see! Thanks to Dakhil for the heads up.
