I am going to guess that games will cost 39.99 for the NX handheld version and Nintendo will charge another 19.99 to download the DLC needed to play the game at 900p on the NX home console.

I don't think having to pay extra after already purchasing the game would go down very well with people.

If the game will go from handheld graphics to PS4-level quallity with the $20.00 update, I think people might be more accepting of the cost.  I mean, you will be downloading hi-res texture packages and better shader support so it's not just a $20.00 fee to milk gamers.

My concern is that if they charge $69.99 just for the handheld game, it's going to turn off a lot of gamers who just want to play the handheld NX and not the home console.  Handheld gamers shouldn't have to pay for the HD graphics if they aren't going to be using them.

I honestly don't see the handheld & console being vastly different in terms of specs. I'm thinking it will be similar to the difference between N64 vs N64+RAM Pak or GC vs Wii or 3DS vs New 3DS.

The CPU/GPU running at a higher clock rate with 2x the RAM allowing for the game to play at a higher resolution/frame rate and faster load times.

They can do that, but I don't think it would result in very good sales for the console, it would be like the Vita TV where only a small fraction of people bought the console. 

Which is OK if Nintendo's main goal is to simply unify their library so that their portable fan base in essence can enjoy all the games, not just 1/2 of them. 

 

Vita TV isn't the best example as it was simply a console version of an already failed product.
