Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers, a number of sources have confirmed to Eurogamer.
On the move, NX will function as a high-powered handheld console with its own display. So far so normal - but here's the twist: we've heard the screen is bookended by two controller sections on either side, which can be attached or detached as required.
Then, when you get home, the system can connect to your TV for gaming on the big screen.

It is said to be more powerful than the Wii U so there's potential for a cleaner and smoother running Zelda Breath of the Wild on NX.
I love portables, and this is what I wanted from NX, hope it's true, cartridges back and the ability to play on both tv as well as on the go. My only fear was that going the portable route might result in weaker than Wii U hardware but it appears that is not the case, at least going by these rumors.
As for my suggestions regarding software, I think it would be very good if it didn't only feature gaming apps but more general apps. Netflix, Hulu, perhaps Open Office, Chrome or firefox, etc. Already many portable devices allow you to do lots of different things with them, and this device by being a portable is also competing with all other portables. GPS is a must, so I hope they've put one so it can get a port of pokemon go, if it doesn't have a gps that'd be disappointing. But all of that is up to nintendo. Ideally it'd also have phone functionality, but I doubt they'd go that far.
