Considering how little the 3DS appears to have advanced Nintendo's online connectivity, it sounds like a lot of nonsense to me.
He's stretching things pretty far. How does that benefit anyone over just taking the 2 seconds to hit the power on the television remote control and having the video sent to the television?
I think you don't have to look beyond what they've tried to do in the past with their handheld connectivity to their consoles and touch screen gaming on their handhelds to understand why, if true, they're implimenting a touch screen. It integrates that second screen and those features Nintendo seemed to want to explore, while bringing control possibilities to the console world that succeeded for them in the handheld world.
As for the rumored name, I imagine it's because it will have something akin to Sony's remote play feature that will let you play games without using your television screen (Ideal for children, those with a spouse or family member that wants to use a tv at the same time you want to play, or just someone that wants to lay back and play without being stuck in front of a television).
That link is the speculation and odd wishes of some nut, I wouldn't hold that against Nintendo.
