I don think Nintendo will go for gaming tablet.

Like I said, resolution 540p-720p for NX handheld/gamepad (or whatever) screen of 5-6" will be enuf, 720p will be enuf and for 8" display. And I don't see they doing another DS device.


Their only path is to go with another DS device. It's the only thing that fits with the unified platform. Going single screen would absolutely destroy any seemlessnes for a unified platform, since the hardware wouldn't be uniform. For a unified platform to work, the handheld must be as symetrical as possible. That means as many imputs as possible must be shared between the two. That's why the N3DS was made. To be more similar to the Wii U, likely to test this concept without needing an extra periferal.

Two screens, two analog sticks, for face buttons, one dpad, two digital triggers, and two bumpers. The only thing missing is the analog clicks, and that is a less than tertiary input that can still be added to the NXDS in some capacity. For now, though, games like Hyrule Warriors Legends are perfect analogs for what to really expect from the NX and NXDS. What's on the top screen will be on the TV. What's on the bottom screen will be on the gamepad. After that, it just comes down to optimizing the HUD for the smaller screens' real estate. No building an etirely new game because your two peices of hardware are asymetrical.

I don't see any connection between DS device and unifying platform. I dont think we will se DS device again, I think better chances are for Wii U concept, using NX device like Wii U gamepad for playing some games (probably Wii U games) on TV.
