The Diddy Kong Racing 2 project was moved over to new hardware that will be launched in 2016. The new platform is aiming for a price of $149.99 to avoid competing directly (price wise) with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The company fears that it would be market suicide to release another overly expensive box in the middle of a console generation, when most consumers have already invested in a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Wii U development kits are being used to develop NX software; the NX hardware is technically a Wii U except with higher memory bandwidth and a more balanced CPU.

Well if everything else in the article is false,  at least this quote definitely isn't.

 

What I'm getting from this though is that the NX may be a revised WII U just like the New 3DS. Most likely it will be able to play all WII U games and new games that require more hardware juice than the WII U can provide. Honestly it seems highly unlikely that Nintendo will go down this path.
