Iwata: Our next system will “absorb the Wii U architecture adequately”

Yup this is exactly what I think -- the next Nintendo handheld (tablet form factor) will be able to run Wii U engines "reasonably" well. Much closer than the Vita can with PS3 engines. Say 540p resolution at maybe a slightly lower frame rate or something.

This will let them port/or "retool" games like DKC: TF, Mario Kart 8, Smash U, Zelda U, etc. which probably isn't going to make as much profit as they want on Wii U to their new portable platform which will be able to play Nintendo games all the way up from the NES to Zelda U.

There will be a "home dock" that lets you play on your TV if you have the handheld model, and could bump the resolution to 720/1080p too I think. 

Then what are they going to do about the next console? Keep it at WiiU graphics? 

well if you haven't been keeping up with Soundwave's posts, he thinks Nintendo will fuse their next handheld and console together, to a tablet form-factor handheld that runs WiiU-level stuff, and connects to the TV for console gaming needs.

What like a tablet/set-top box?
