Security ... interesting. Good point.security check
It's because of how similar BBX was to Android. Both are at least somewhat Java based, and I believe there were some other similarities too.Security ... interesting. Good point.
I know BlackBerry was somehow able to run Android.

I wonder if Nintendo could do it.
I would think it would be curated android apps ... mostly just the popular ones
If it is there, just don't use it. lolLet me just say this'll be my worst nightmare. Please don't happen!
Well I guess. But it would encourage developers to go for the mobile market! The apps would be cool though. Along with emulators and stuff if we do run androidSuper Mario Run is going to the Android too.

They'd probably have a system in which they approve an app before they release it on their own take on Google Play. So emulators would be near impossible to get through their defenses. Though I doubt Android apps would make it to the switch. Still possible nevertheless.Well I guess. But it would encourage developers to go for the mobile market! The apps would be cool though.

It'll be running a proprietary of Android won't it? The Wii U used its own Blu-ray discs than Nintendo paying for the licence to use them to the fullest.No. The Switch will not be running Android, and that would cut Nintendo out of the licensing which is a pretty big deal for a hardware manufacturer.
No. Nintendo rolls their own OSes. Also, Android is Linux-based, which has a GNU license and would require Nintendo to publish their changes to it and that certainly won't happen. And Blu Ray is a storage medium which really has no relation to what Nintendo would do with Software. Nintendo also used proprietary DVDs for the Wii and proprietary mini-DVDs for the Gamecube. But their OSes are their own thing.It'll be running a proprietary of Android won't it? The Wii U used its own Blu-ray discs than Nintendo paying for the licence to use them to the fullest.
Thanks. Just hope that NS will be more meatier and complete than the basic Wii/WiiU UIs.No. Nintendo rolls their own OSes.

This is no similarity between Blackberry 10 and Android. Blackberry uses a QNX RTOS kernel, while Android uses a linux kernel. Yes, they are both UNIX-like, but that's where the similarity ends as program APIs are way up there and unrelated.It's because of how similar BBX was to Android.

Erm...you do realise that the developers who want to develop for the mobile market already do so for years, right? I mean...those hundreds of thousands apps on the play store didn't wrote themselves. And with nintendo making (albeit small) steps towards mobile platforms, all gamers can do is gain on an included app store...Well I guess.
