Nintendo NX: 10 Awesome Reveals That Could Win The Console War

7. Remote Play

Tying into the aforementioned handheld-console hybrid is the notion of remote play, that not only can you play your NX games on the move, but you can resume progress and have access to your home console wherever you are.

The PS4 and Xbox One already have extensive (and superb) remote play capabilities that utilise video streaming tech for surprisingly solid results. The NX following suit would bring them in line with their competitors, and rumours suggest that it will be a major feature of the NX controller (which will apparently be like a "dummy PS Vita").

Considering that this was a depressingly absent feature from the Wii U controller (which has a frustratingly low signal range for in-controller play), it's a must-have for not only the new NX controller, but also on PCs and other "second screens".

How Likely Is It?: It would be a major mistake not to jump on the remote play bandwagon, and given how pervasive the technology is these days, there's no reason for Nintendo not to do it. Everyone would like it. It's happening. 9/10
