According to a report from Japanese newspaper Nikkei, Nintendo’s next platform, codenamed NX, will run on an Android-based operating system.
Allegedly, Nikkei has an insider source that claims that Nintendo decided to use an Android OS on Nintendo NX when the company realized that third parties were abandoning Wii U irremediably. Therefore, the company expects to embrace a more open platform with Android, allowing developers more flexibility in making content that could also be launched on smartphones and tablets.
