A portable would have several cheats it could employ though ... first and foremost those games on a portable screen will look just fine even at 960x540. 

That means they can run on the portable at 1/4th the pixels, which also means suddenly a 500 GFLOP GPU in portable mode probably would be able to run a lot of ports. 

Here's a Nvidia 730M laptop mobile GPU btw (550 GFLOPS) ... it can run PS4/XB1 only games like Assassin's Creed Unity at 720p even:

I'll believe in when I see it. The assets and everything would all have to be reworked and I simply don't think devs will put that much effort in, especially on a Nintendo platform.

Western devs probably not (hey it's up to them I should say), but Japanese devs? 

They will, especially if NX is the market leader in Japan, which I think is a fairly high probability. Pokemon + Splatoon + Mario + Mario Kart + Monster Hunter + Dragon Quest + Animal Crossing will push it past the PS4's userbase in Japan quickly, then other Japanese devs will want to cash in. 

The big difference now will be though unlike the DS/3DS, NX probably will be able to handle "real" versions of big gun Japanese IP. That means Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, etc.
