I doubt this is true. I doubt that it could be a mobile hybrid and still be strong enough to run VR. At least the VR that the twins will be doing.

Shrugs, could be cheap-ish VR with some kind of toy-like gimmick attached to it. 

The Samsung Gear VR is only $100 if you have a Samsung phone, if NX has an LCD display as one of its components, it's possible they might be doing something similar. 

 

If this is true then they're more than likely going for a toy VR approach. I don't think that it would be worth it. All those add ons would impact price and manufacturing costs. They were already criticized for Wii U and their controller gimmick. Doing the exact same thing would be a death sentence.
