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.

This is an 830M running Batman: Arkham Knight (keep in mind this is a PS4/XB1 only console game) ... it's not bad to be honest.

If Nintendo can get that fidelity in a portable for even 3 hours on the road, even if you reduce the resolution a bit further to 1024x600 ... I'd be pretty happy with that. 

And I think the Tegra X2 should be capable of that, my worry is Nintendo will gimp the chip and cheap out on the battery. 

But the frame rate looked like absolute garbage in the video. Not just slow framerates either, it seemed like quite a bit of frame drops, meaning they should really turn down some of those effects, the hardware can't  really handle it.
