I'm still skeptical about this rumor, but this is kinda interested, from Nvidia's CEO:

I also believe that mobile cloud in combination is one of the most powerful computing forces that the computer industry has ever known. Because of mobile cloud, we've been able to extend the capabilities and the benefits of computing to billions of people, whereas in the PC area, we were able to benefit hundreds of millions of people. And yet no one has yet created a game platform around mobile cloud, the technology of mobile cloud, the power of mobile cloud, the architecture of mobile cloud, so that we can extend gaming not to tens of millions of game console users, but billions of users. I think that that's the great opportunity. And I don't have anything to announce today, but that's what we're trying to endeavor.

So Nvidia wants to create a mobile cloud based sharing platform. Maybe they are Nintendo's partner? Because I never really thought Nintendo would be able to pull off anything like that, but if they are partnered with Nvidia ... that makes that SCD patent a little more plausible.

If nintendo is depending on the cloud to save their handhelds,... they are done for.

Cloud to assist in gameing is just pure fail in my opinion.

Its gonna to be used for crackdown 3? in multiplayer, but the cost for servers is gonna be massive, and I bet you its going to have tons of issues, and introduce weird input lag, server desync (much more often and much worse than normal) ect.

I think gameing is "healthier" and better the futher we stay away from cloud assisted computeing for it.
