So far, all Nintendo consoles have run its own operating system and its own proprietary architecture. However, according to a report in Nikkei and collected by Kotaku, that could change with the next console, code-named Nintendo NX, and that would run on Android. http: //es.gizmodo.com/nintendo-va-a -…
Up Now, the few known details about NX are essentially two: first Nintendo said that “surprised” many people (which honestly block the rumor) and other regional NX would not lock, as is the case with the rest Company consoles. Again, and as with a phone or a tablet that are not restricted to certain regions, this part fit with the new rumor.
According to the article Nikkei , the main reasons behind this decision would be the problems that many developers face in to develop games for the Wii U. With Android, greatly facilitate this development, although it is not clear whether those same titles would be available for phones and tablets out of the ecosystem Wii (would make sense, but Nintendo never know).
The idea is not exactly new, as Ouya other consoles have already made their assault including video games with a modified version of Android operating system. Nikkei has a good record when it comes to rumors Nintendo is concerned, reporting the arrival of Nintendo to mobile devices or the launch of the Nintendo 3DS XL, among others. [Nikkei via Kotaku]
