I found the first set of answers regarding console connectivity in that he never said Wii. Specifically, 'console' each time.

Also, the part you highlighted about pushing power for 3rd parties should lay to rest anyone's ideas that Nintendo next home console won't be comparatively powered to that of their opposition.

This is exactly what caught my attention as well.

It appears they plan to have the 3DS directly connect with their next home console.

I'm quite certain of that. They probably have a 2 step plan:

1. Get 3DS into enough hands

2. Have full connectivity between the 3DS and Wii2, thus giving people who own 3DS extra incentive to buy Wii2 (and giving developers who develop for 3DS incentive to develop a Wii 2 version as well...)

So - I play a session of MH 4on my Wii2 but I have to go somewhere. In the meantime, my 3DS has already sinchronized itself with my Wii 2, so I tcan continue playing on the 3DS from where I left off on the Wii 2. Then when I come back home, sinchronization happens again and I can continue playing the game on the Wii 2.
