Someone asked earlier what we could expect graphics-wise from this baby. If the rumors are true and it does indeed use a modified version of the HD4850 1GB video card you can expect results similar to this:
The aforementioned video card is the recommended one for this game (The Witcher 2) from the publisher. It'll likely be more refined versions of current gen games. Better framerates, pixel refresh rates, true 1080p, better anti-aliasing, and modern shaders. This doesn't take into account the amount of RAM they decide to use. Nintendo has always used fast RAM in the past, but the quantity will determine how good the graphics will be. If it has 2GB or so of RAM it will allow for greater draw distances and no popup (can't believe modern games still have popup). The extra RAM would allow for more data to be buffered at once so the processor doesn't have to do it on the fly.
I'm no expert on hardware, but that much I do know. Either way, I think Nintendo fans are in for a real treat. Zelda HD, or Metroid HD will be amazing!
Edit: Can you pull that image up in your browser OK? I guess you can right click and choose "view image".
