If the entire point of the unified platform is to make the system easily scalable, there should be nothing holding anything back. It would be like running thinks on extremely low setting on the weaker device, with the infrastructure making that process as simple as possible for its devs.

I'm referring to the big AAA games like CoD, Assassin's Creed, etc. There's just no feasible way to scale those games so they can run on everything from a 300 gflops handheld all the way up to 8000+ gflops high end PC's. If Nintendo wants those AAA's on their platform again, they'll have to design their console with x86 for easy porting and specs that are at least close to Xbox One, and they'll have to be ok with the AAA devs not releasing on the handheld as well.
Now Nintendo 1st and 2nd party devs probably would be designing their games with engines that can scale from a 300 gflops handheld up to say a 1000 gflops console. So 1st and 2nd party games should be on both systems. Just don't expect 3rd party games to be on both, I'd expect both the handheld and the console to recieve a good number of unique 3rd party games.

Nintendo doesn't want or need those AAA western titles on their hardware, they have never once in the history of Nintendo hardware been a factor in sales.
People have never bought Nintendo hardware to get experiences that can be played on other devices, it has always been about games/features exclusive to Nintendo hardware so having multiplats isn't and shouldn't be a priority for Nintendo. If 3rd parties want to port their games to Nintendo hardware, that's fine and they are welcome to do such but Nintendo shouldn't bend over backwards in an attempt to get something that doesn't benefit them in any meaningful way. Instead by fully unifying their devices, it ensures that Nintendo's next devices never see droughts between Nintendo published software and the console now has the full lineup of 3rd party exclusives that their handhelds are so used to getting from Japanese 3rd parties. That plus child-friendly Western titles and strong indie support ensures that Nintendo devices get 100+ titles per year.

Ya GTAV, FFXV, MGSV, Destiny, Cod, Fifa, Madden, etc wouldn't benefit them in any meaningful way lol.
