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.

You say this because your analysis is based on a wrong model ...

The real cloud computing is based on a bunch of remote computers that pool their computing capabilities ... it has great elasticity in the processing of information for each of the connected computers ...
His great asset in relation to cloud computing for large data center, is the elimination of latency phenomenon that create lags because of the geographic distance ...

Then Thou bases on the Microsoft system, PRIVATE CLOUD. Microsoft wants to sell the cloud as a service.

But there is another system ... THE CLOUD COMMUNITY , to sell the cloud as a equipment.

The principle is simple, one of the best known is the air control, each airport monitors airspace and shares information with the rest of airports, in case of failure of some others take over ...

 CLOUD COMMUNITY is based on sharing ... If Nintendo creates an OS for NX for remote computing sharing, using virtualization ... EVERY NX could become a server for other NX, Nintendo could create its own engine like "cloud engine" using 100 NX operating in cloud ... besides it's one of the strengths of the system, the more machines connected together, the more online will be stable and powerfull ...

And this is where the idea of ​​a TEGRA X1 is interesting ... so that the cloud community work, must work the NX 24/24 ... so a machine has low power consumption (20 Watts) would be great ...

After sharing does not mean giving ... Nintendo could very well put a "counter" in each NX , a sort of cloud mining to reward the owner of the NX who shares his machine on the network, but not in bitcoins! free DLC or discount on games via MYNINTENDO as he speaks in the SCD patent ...
