[QUOTE="StarDust4Ever, post: 236706, member: 3033"] NX will not be backwards compatible with Wii-U because the PowerPC architecture is dead and Wii-U is far too powerful to emulate reliably. A hybrid console with a beefed up quad core ARM could put out considerably more muscle than the Wii-U and still be efficent as a portable running off batteries. Xbone and PS4, like their first gen predecessors, are basically hair dryers. I'm not suggesting NX can't use x86, but this architecture is too power hungry for a portable without massive batteries. I'm thinking a slimmed down Game Pad with the brains inside it, can run passively with reduced performance in 480p as a portable, or as an HD 1080p powerhouse when docked. ARMs could be designed for massive overclocked operation with an active cooling solution. Perhaps the NX tablet could have CPU vents on the back which connect to a cooling fan in the dock. Wii-U pro controllers for local multiplayer. Nintendo has a great controller. No reason to reinvent the wheel, ahem, Sony/MS. [/QUOTE]
