Today, on May 26, 2016, MegaChips Corporation sent out a notice regarding its 26th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 23, 2016 (Thursday) 10 am (JST). The notice includes information on principal businesses, directors and more. It also includes the status of an important business alliance between Macronix, Megachips and Nintendo:
Engrish translation:
We know from before that Macronix will provide memory products for NX. And Megachips has supplied Video Encode/Decode LSI for Wii U for example: http://www.megachips.co.jp/english/pdf/121203_e.pdf
A bit better translation I believe is needed for this, but still I think it was noteworthy. Perhaps not that much to deduct from this news, but another piece of the puzzle hopefully.
The initial news by Digitimes on NX supply chain did not mention Megachips: http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20151130PD203.html

であり、当該2社とゲーム機用LSIの供給に関する製造委託契約を締結しており

Engrish translation:
Now, this agreement is nothing new really as these companies have collaborated for more than a decade on LSI. However, the note about this alliance is as of March 31, 2016 which leads me to believe that the agreement has been continued and could very well be referencing new products (NX).③ Status of important business alliance
The main parties of the business alliance, Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Macronix International Co., Ltd., and the Company have entered into a manufacturing agreement for the supply of LSI for the two companies and the game machine.
We know from before that Macronix will provide memory products for NX. And Megachips has supplied Video Encode/Decode LSI for Wii U for example: http://www.megachips.co.jp/english/pdf/121203_e.pdf
A bit better translation I believe is needed for this, but still I think it was noteworthy. Perhaps not that much to deduct from this news, but another piece of the puzzle hopefully.

Just a note about Megachips and Wii U, 3DS.
