I don't think the NX will just be a WiiU revision. Sure, the Wii was really a GC revision with motion controlls and it sold gangbusters. But the Wii added something new at the right time for the right price, and it sold thanks to that. A WiiU revision would fail simply because the time for a machine like that was 2010-2011 (when tablets were all the rage and the Wii was showing its age but the brand still had energy), but they missed that train and confused people with bad advertisement, confusing name and low specs.
The NX needs a similar architecture to their competitors to bring as many support as possible. A handheld with WiiU-like power would be amazing, specially in Japan, but the home console version would need more horsepower. Scalable games would solve the problem, but again, it needs PS4 or XBone-like power and simple architecture to get games. Nintendo alone can't keep their hardware afloat considering it taks longer and longer to develop games.
Good handheld specs to win the japanese companies, easy architecture to get western ports, and competitive price to get an userbase as fast as possible. Considering the tech avalible nowadays, it won't be hard to match PS4 power and be competitive.
