@Bolded: But wouldn't it make sense for them to be able to choose which platform they work on? Nintendo can't just decide if you're gonna make portable games or not, can they? I'm pretty sure Capcom would like to develop a Monster Hunter game for Nintendo's HH, but if they got a HC dev kit instead... Well, then they wouldn't make a MH game for it, would they? Shouldn't Nintendo be asking, "So, you want the home console dev kit, or the portable dev kit?"

As of right now, I'm kinda devided. I'm not sure if this will be two destinct devices, one home console with a controller similar to Wii U's gamepad which you can take with you and play on, and one portable console with a lot more features (and maybe even Internet access?) compared to the HC's gamepad. Or if it's all just one hybrid device.

I found those leaked patents really intruiging, especially the possibility to connect your HC and HH to boost the power. Or linking two HC to boost the power. I saw a lot of posibilities in those patents!

Why would a company give a studio a HC DK before a platform launches when they've never done a game for HC? Companies like Capcom and SE would have both DKs because they're not only priority but do both HH and HC games that's not the same as developer like Renegade Kid who mainly focus on HH, even then I assure you these companies wouldn't give the HC DK to one of their HH focused studio because the studio wouldn't. These studios can register their interest and recieve one later on but right now it would be about getting the appropriate kits to priority studios.

To me two devices is just more plausible as the's less chance for conflicts in the HH and HC element and would make things easier for Nintendo to execute.

How do you mean that it would make things easier for Nintendo? I see one (two) big advantagese for having two different devices; they'd make more money. Even if both consoles shares the majority of games between them, having two distinkt consoles would mean Nintendo can make exclusive titles for both and thus having people double dipping.
