In March 2015, I wrote about what the Nintendo NX could potentially be:

If it had a flexible 6″-7″ touchscreen, and the guts of the console (mainboard based on tech like Nvidia’s Tegra X1, wireless, battery, microSD etc) underneath – you could have a modular system that is basically a small tablet that can play Nintendo’s mobile games, but can then be placed in either a foldable DS shell when you want it to be portable, or a Gamepad shell when you want to connect it to a TV.

Then you’d have a base station attached to the TV that the console could connect to wirelessly – and as that’d be cheap to produce, you could have one connected to every TV in the house if you wanted, so you could play on the big screen anywhere. As people have said, they’d just be adapting the Wii U wireless tech to go the other way.

I was completely off with the flexible touchscreen, but the rest is pretty much there according to a report by Eurogamer yesterday. After writing that, I developed my own take on it at work – using a mobile as the guts. Unfortunately it never really went anywhere – but I got these cool sketches out of it:

After the Eurogamer report hit, I decided to create a mock up of what the NX could look like, and here it is:
