It will be similar to the 3DS, probably better because far more games are possible due to the monstrous leap in processing power. This is like a 60x power increase from the 3DS, it's a monstrous, monstrous leap ahead (a PS4/XB1 are only like a 5-7x leap over the PS3/360). If the 3DS was actually capable of running some modern engines, I imagine there would be a lot more games for it. Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest Heroes, Tekken 7, Resident Evil Revelations 3, Minecraft, Final Fantasy X HD, maybe even EA Sports titles and Call of Duty. No GTA or Witcher or Elder Scrolls things like that most likely though. I actually think there's a pretty good chance NX for example will get Final Fantasy VII Remake. S-E will have to rework it for the NX specs and sacrifice some details here and there ... but the upside is worth it because NX is likely to do very well in Japan. I think they will allow Android games too, and while that might not impress anyone, there are always a continious flow of games on Android and there are some Android games that would be pretty damn fun to play especially with physical controls. So there's that which could be a factor also. |

I don't really think Android games are a big draw, and maybe not any draw at all. There's already so many devices that do android games.
What modern engines did the 3DS use? I know it used Capcom's MT Framework, but I don't know of any others. It's easier to scale games down these days, but it still has to be worth the effort.
If it had half the support, I'd honestly be ok with that. It would be a huge improvement over the Wii U, and even an improvement over the Wii. But I don't think that will happen, assuming rumors are correct.
The only thing that might change that is a if the docking station can increase the power, possibly as an add on. That would change things, although it also raises its own issues.
