Will the next Nintendo handheld have a HD screen?

I dunno, this is modern Nintendo, I doubt they'll be as price-effective as nvidia. Wii U and 3DS weren't exactly powerful for their price tag.

I think they will be going more off the shelf than ever before. It should lead to cheaper components overall. I think the most expensive part of their next handheld will be the screen itself, since it will most likely be freeform.

That would certinly be the smart thing to do, make its construction as standardized as possible to keep costs down. But sadly, Nintendo don't always do the smart thing. Look at Wii U; it's way overpriced for its power level. I don't feel I can trust modern Nintendo to be commonsensical and achieve a power-to-cost ratio as good as nvidia.
