Finally some Solid NX rumors

eurogamer report
Digital Foundry report on nvidia tegra chips being used

While everything is still a rumor, this is a much more credible rumor that makes sense

Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers, a number of sources have confirmed to Eurogamer.

Then, when you get home, the system can connect to your TV for gaming on the big screen. A base unit, or dock station, is used to connect the brain of the NX - within the controller - to display on your TV.

This lines up with the rumors we have heard so far. I don't think this is a bad idea at all if the price point is right.

Due to the radical change in hardware design and internal technology, we've been told by one source that there are no plans for backwards compatibility.

So don't sell your Wii U yet

Previously, however, we've heard reports of various Wii U games reappearing as updated NX ports - Splatoon and Smash Bros. have both been mooted. And then there's Pikmin 4, which Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed to Eurogamer just over a year ago.

Very possible they will port any game worth a shite over and I wouldn't blame them.

One element worth pointing out is that the move to a completely new architecture will have backwards compatibility ramifications. Tegra technology would have no problem whatsoever coping with existing virtual console emulation (and indeed, the X1-powered Shield Android TV is one of the best emulator boxes on the market) but running Wii U titles may be a stretch too far.

It makes sense. This is why PS4 can't play PS3 games. I think it's more important to get virtual console running on there and give it real support. They also need to let virtual console games carry over and not frick people who invested in them.
