Nintendo: No, the NX won’t run off an Android operating system

Nintendo has responded to yesterday’s rumour that the Nintendo NX will run off an Android-based operating system.

The publisher flat out denied their next console, presumably replacing the Wii U, will use Android.

“There is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX,” a Nintendo representative told the Wall Street Journal.

Nintendo doesn’t plan to show off the Nintendo NX at this year’s E3. So, we wait.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
