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

3. Extensive Smartphone Compatibility

Everyone and their grandpa has a smartphone these days, and with the abundance of apps that allow gamers to interface with the PS4 and Xbox One away from home, it's safe to say that Nintendo are positively left in the dust by comparison.

Quite what this functionality could be is anyone's guess, but at the very least an NX phone app would need social features and the ability to set up downloads away from home.

Hopefully, the NX will allow players to take part in mini-games on their phone related to titles they own, possibly even influencing the actual core game itself.

How Likely Is It?: This one's been rumoured long enough that it has to be taken seriously, and if Nintendo want to capture a big slice of the market share again, it would be foolish to ignore how tethered we all are to our phones these days. 7/10
