Nintendo: No, the NX will not run on Android

Following up on reports from yesterday, Nintendo has denied the rumor that it is creating its Nintendo NX console on an Android variant operating system.

Nintendo says there is "no truth" to the reports, according to the WSJ.

"There is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX," the Nintendo spokesperson concluded.



The original sources had claimed Nintendo would use Android to have access to a much larger developer base, and to save costs on having to build their own operating system for the console.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has already said we will not have more information about the console until next year so for now we will just have to believe that the NX is not to run on Android.

  So sick of the rumor mill on this NX console and the tech world in general. Is everybody so concerned with being the first to release what they think is news they cannot be bothered to verify the source and information?
