New rumor from the french site Gameblog, this article/video, translated by NeoGaf.

- He says he's only sharing stuff multiple sources have confirmed
- "Sure about 20 games in development" But how many will be ready at launch, or within the first year?
- Their sources are currently developing on the platform and have devkits
- "You'll be able to verify these leaks very soon" but not aware of the actual reveal date -I'm hoping for Oct 25th
- Nintendo hasn't shared all of the NX "gimmicks" with their dev yet -This we've heard before
- Hybrid confirmed but not the only "surprise" -Kinda fits well together with the comment above; not all "gimmicks" have been revealed. But is there more to it than that?
- He's been confirmed there are detachable controllers -Confirms Eurogamers leak and several other sources
- No real dock where you plug the handheld, but a wireless 'dongle' upscaling for the TV -I think we've heard this before? But this is in direct contrast to Eurogamers leak.
- Handheld game is the same as the "docked" game -Just what I was hoping for! But haven't we heard otherwise in the last few days?
- Games look good on the handheld screen (780 - 900p), about PS4 level -PS4 levels? On a handheld? Sounds too good to be true. I guess that the home console portion of the device could produce PS4 level graphics, and that's something Emily Rogers talked about as well.
- Ports should be easy despite the different architecture -Heard before
- Very positive feedback on the dev tools -Heard before
- Breath of the Wild looks nicer on NX (duh) -Duh
- Smartphone connectivity maybe possible -Second time we hear this, right? I wonder what that means
- VR not out of the question but first tests aren't satisfying. -That's just a fad anyways, so who cares? PS4 will be the place for VR gaming
- Lots of remasters planned (Skyward Sword, MK8, Splatoon, Smash, N64 and Wii games) -Emily Rogers (that's her name, right?) have said similar things. Some of the ports/remasters aren't doing so good apparently
- FFXV and FFVII Remake are coming to NX -Sweet
- Platinum Games and Capcom are in -Cool
- Ubisoft in (BG&E 2 discussed but not confirmed, Splinter Cell and a Yoshi / Rabbid Rabbits crossover being discussed too) -Heard this one before as well.

Feel free to agree or disagree with this rumor.

Pretty juicy leak! If true.
