Rumours have been swirling for months that the NX will in fact be a combination of traditional home console and handheld, in an effort to combine two markets into one and give the player greater accessibility to their games than ever.

This could naturally mean many things, but the basic upshot is that it would allow you to play NX games on the move with ease, without needing to purchase additional hardware.

How Likely Is It?: The rumours are ferocious and persistent enough that it's easy to believe, even though there's the issue of cost: will Nintendo be able to sell the platform at an affordable price with a handheld unit attached?

Or perhaps they'll offer a package without the handheld, so players can purchase it at a later date. Either way, it's probably happening. 7/10
