Sooo a bunch of informations:
The NoJ Employee that gave the author of the original topic all this information did so because she doesn't agree with the company decisions and she hopes Nintendo becomes more open with R&D.
With NX Nintendo's goal is to make a development environment that can vehicular game project to multiple devices (hope the concept is clear), them beeing either consoles, handhelds or even smartphones, but at the same time keeping exclusive features for every version of the games. this is supposed to drastically cut development prices that atm are really high for Nintendo since they currently have two extremely different devices.
What I get from this is that Nintendo plans on releasing games as they did with SSB4 at the same time (it has been specificated later in the article) on various platforms so that they can increase earnings.
Going on : how could releasing the same game on various platforms give more choice to gamers ? Well, players will be able to SYNC THEIR SAVE DATA ACROSS PLATFORMS , this will be possible either Online or locally so that they can continue their game with different features.
talking about the NX consoleS Nintendo's aproach wii be divided in two parts:
the first is the Handheld (look at the specs on reddit), but in the original it sounds more likely that it could have 720p, making it on par with the newest engines. The Employee says she can't say how will it be but she says that it was really hard for Nintendo to make this Handheld BC, especially due to the game support.
didn't really get what she ment here, probably it's because they use a different type or cartridges or maybe because of the sharing system with various platforms...
A very Important part of the handheld will be the anti-piracy systems, proven extremely effective on the 3DS. this anti-piracy systems will be also on the NX Home Console, which will periodically check the various programs on the system making it even harder for illegal programs to be used.
The Specs of the Home Console are for shure the sore point for TFLOPS fans, because the system due to the cross-library of games, won't have much horse power, reaching the levels of the current competition, but I won't specify how much exactly, since we're still talking about targets. Of course the games that will be playable both on handheld and home console will get upscaling, cleaner textures, faster loadings, optimized filters and in the best case a specific version with better models.
I'll try to translate the rest of it later, but the biggest fact is that there is a confirmation of an unspecified new gimmik
