It will be more powerful than 6 gameboys taped together....with all the batteries included! Actually, it will probably be as close as technically possible to the Wii U. With what Iwata has stated in the past I'm sure the next handheld and console will be very similar to the Wii U's architecture with the former being a little less powerful and the latter being anyone's guess when it comes to specs.
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
