Unsure what the implications will mean for the company. This should be a good thing for streamlining their products, but somehow I have an uneasy feeling.

I suppose it's good news since third party can develop easier for Nintendo consoles now even though I didn't understand much about the article(?)

Oh for third party its essential.  The only remaining questing is what device they will ultimately release.  This API ensures that they will have an onslaught of compatible software and it means that everyone will be able to get the most out of it.

And so begins Nintendo's efforts to bring mobile and browser games to their consoles.


Yeah I think that Nikkei article was actually more or less true. NX will be able to run Android apps.


NFW was already capable of doing this. This is for Vulkan or WebGL.
