Yeah, it could be.  It could be like the PS4 and 3DS versions of DQXI.   But I think more likely the HH will have significantly more power than 3DS and be able to handle something in full 3D.  A scaled-down, low res version.  That said, several of the new leakers have said the HH is more about "apps" than games, and "interact with your games on the go", as opposed to playing them.  So that could be the case.  The HH could be weak and only able to stream real titles, and play much simpler software on the go.  That would cut costs.  It's also worth noting the Ruby said the HH is not a 3DS replacement.

Ok, so she hasn't mentioned any HH as of yet? 'Cus at first i was thinking "Holy crap, that's shitty!!", what with the HH only being "app based" and you would only be able to interact (not play) with your games - BUT, if there will be a proper HH down the line which can play the HC games properly, I'm ok with that.

It's hard to say.  Ruby called the HH "barebones", but also said DMP is involved.  It could be a decent handheld unit.

Tbh I think if Ruby's claims are true then it will just be for mobile and apps while a dedicated Handheld arrives in 2018, this way they get out a decently powerful console and very capable handheld while linking in the mobile market. If it's not replacing 3DS then I don't see it doing anything more than mobile.

All these rumors, it's driving me a bit mad. I want solid facts, damnit. Now I kinda want to be able to play my HC games on the go, not a watered down version of it, or some "interactive app" BS. It doesn't have to be as graphically impressive as the HC verison, but I want the HH version to be the same game. Everything else will be a disappointment for me, I think.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Not that i believed in it or not, but i really don't understand this logic of "well, i can duplicate it, therefore it's not true!"

Again, i doubt the system would be called Duo, but that logic...

Well, the rumor came from wccftech quoting a twitter account, so it's not like it had too much credibility to begin with.

That's another tally the thirsty will need to make in the "Fake" counter.

Probably needs more room at this point...

Of course, Pokemon is coming to NX, and that is a verified fact. So that lends to the idea that you can play real games on the go...

NX as a brand however may include the dedicated portable element, lets not forget the shared library prospect, Pokemon may just play on the console and the dedicated handheld and not necessarily the device with the console.

This is true.  From the outset I've envisioned NX has including a home console with a Wii U Gamepad like controller, and eventually a true handheld that is similar to the gamepad in function.  It could also act as a secondary controller for the home console.
