A new Nintendo NX rumor has surfaced, which claims that the console might offer gaming in 1080P at 60FPS, while 4K streaming would be possible as well. Furthermore, the rumor suggests that the NX will release with at least four launch titles. The console's base price tag and bundle prices have also been mentioned.
Nintendo’s new console remains a mystery, and the console has yet to be detailed. In a recent interview, Nintendo insider Emily Rogers discussed some recent NX rumors with Youtube personality, SuperMetalDave64, in which both talked about the console’s architecture.
According to a new leak on the Nintendo subreddit, details have been leaked from a large Nintendo retail partner. The source is said to have been verified as the 'leaked' info comes from an individual that should have access to the information leaked.
One of the most interesting tidbits of the leak relates to the marketing of the NX console. The interaction with “games on the go” appears to be a very important advertisement phrase for the NX. The rumor claims that there will be at least 4 launch titles, one of the possibly being a Mario related title. Demonstration units will be received by retailers in February, and it is believed that the NX will have a bundle option that will sell for $ 399.99. The base price point for the console sits around $ 299.99.

Nintendo NX Concept Mock Up By @stancedbossBased on the leak, the packaging for Nintendo's new console, still mentions the "NX" codename, although there is no indication whether this is merely a placeholder name for the console or its final name. The NX is said to be packaged in white and blue colouring. A colour scheme that the original Wii used as well.
4k streaming has been mentioned. - What this likely means is playback of content such as Netflix, etc. Not gameplay.
1080p and 60fps are being used by the marketing teams in relation to gameplay on to the console portion. I've heard unconfirmed rumblings of 900p for the infamous hybrid part of the device.
