It still isn't going to produce even Xbone quality graphics, with those consoles being on the market for 3 1/2 years, maybe 4 if the device is pushed back to holiday. Wii U was more powerful than Xbone/PS3.
Sure it's a console a bit more powerful than the Wii U on the go, but with crappy battery life how good of a thing is that really. And it's really only beneficial if you are a gamer who actually takes their gaming on the road.
No mic essentially means no voice chat. Granted Nintendo games themselves never used it really, but third parties did. I was hoping Wii U would be the next step forward in online gaming.

Could still be a reasonable upgrade on a Wii U ... if it can match say a Nvidia 830M (laptop GPU) from 2014 that would be ok I guess. That can even run games like Batman Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 at 720p. My worry is Nintendo will needlessly gimp the chip.

But how well could it run them, especially if third parties are phoning it in? If the frame rate is garbage or the textures and other effects have to be turned down is it even worth It? And how long would a game that's pushing the system last in portable mode?
Seems like a modern day Wii to me from a hardware perspective.
