That Nintendo is going to change is a fact. Your home console has not been supported by the third parties and its large catalog of games exclusive quality made in Nintendo have failed to disguise its poor sales. In this situation it came under Dena, a study of game development for mobile platforms.
The agreement was received with enthusiasm and fear in equal parts between the fanbase casual and gamers of Nintendo. The Japanese study looks on mobile devices an opportunity to bring their games and popular franchises to a much wider of players enjoying their consoles range. The problem for the “traditional” players, it is possible to sacrifice the quality of the games after them attractive to more people, including a possible free-to-play with In-App purchases .
Agreement between Dena and Nintendo.
Following this agreement we met NX, something that Nintendo defined as a platform , not a console. If Nintendo wants to be relevant in the mobile world and getting their games a lot of people should be a platform. And Nintendo NX would be the first team this philosophy, and have Android operating system as Nikkei reported.
There are several clear factors behind the decision. Dena has experience with the platform and would be easy for them to develop and expand the franchise in this operating system.
Android is the most used operating system in the world, leading more potential customers of their games for mobile platforms and, above all, the support of the third parties great slab since the launch of the Nintendo 64. The Wii was a success It was the first console on your hardware was a clear selling point thanks to its innovative command and promise family entertainment.
An operating system based on Android would allow the Japanese study develop in parallel with Google and added your custom layer by and to be a platform for games and entertainment. Although it is a platform based on Android must be clear that there have to be a small team style Android TV, there are very strong teams with that form factor.
The interfaces and operating systems consoles Nintendo They have never had the same status as their games: confused, slow, with hints of the past. Android could make Nintendo did not have to start from scratch and would allow enhance their experience out of the game by adding more possibilities without sacrificing its essence.
Also create a suitable operating system current demands, and given the consistent failure of those who try in recent years, it is difficult not to see the best and only Android starting candidate for Nintendo is a platform for all, where the real value is their ideas and essence of what a game. Essence has remained untouched for decades. The best example is how to transform a hackneyed as the FPS genre into something great, fun and suitable for the whole family as Splatoon.
Although Android is the best operating system to the third parties scheduled to Nintendo, this does not mean that it is an open system or be a top box style Nvidia Shield. It should also be noted that NX is not a console to replace the current generation , it is something new. Something new for the new Nintendo. Nintendo has confirmed that it will not show because the NX Nintendo’s E3 video game conference. And there your Nintendo 3DS and Wii U have much to say yet.
