The Nintendo NX will combine Nintendo's handheld and console designs by featuring a "mobile unit" that can be used in conjunction with a home console or taken on the go, if a report from the Wall Street Journal is to be believed. So, basically a Wii U with an honest-to-goodness portable screen. Not only that, but the house that Mario built may finally rival its competitors in terms of raw power thanks to "industry-leading chips."
We've had hints of how the NX could merge home and handheld markets before thanks to Nintendo's own claims and patent applications. It'll be a good thing if it turns out to be true, so hopefully the hardware R&D can follow our other six suggestions of what the NX needs to do to turn things around for Nintendo.
