What's "reasonably" powered? I think something that can run Wii U type graphics in 1080P with anti-aliasing and maybe some extra effects with 4GB of RAM is "reasonable". You can make a handheld variant from that which runs games at say 540P w/o the AA but they both can then run the same games without a ton of fuss. 

Oh well..we don't have a problem then. You made it seem like you were talking about an Ouya type thing or something. THAT would be perfectly fine though.


Mobile chips are surprisingly powerful these days. A home variant freed of battery life restrictions (since it would plug into the wall) could probably meet my described performance level. 

It would also save Nintendo a ton of money in hardware R&D if they could basically use the same cheap mobile chips for 2, even 3 or 4 different "variants", just scale them up and down in terms of CPU/GPU cores and RAM.
