This isn't really that great of an idea, in my opinion. If the next Nintendo handheld/Console will be based in Android, I'm sure a hacker will be able to find a way how to port those games over to Android phones Tablets without much difficulty. This would make the next Nintendo device, absolutely redundant.


Not unless your other hardware devices use the same hardware components it won't. If the NX has a custom GPU for example from anything inside of a Galaxy phone for example, you can't just "port" Mario Kart 9 to it. 

It's like saying someone could "hack" the XBox One and quickly run PC apps like Word, Office, on it because it does run Windows. Well yeah ... except the hardware is very different in actuality and the version of Windows the XB1 uses is heavily customized. 

Or vice versa, someone should be able to "hack" a PC since it runs Windows just like the XB1 does to be able to run XB1 games on the PC ... it isn't that simple. 

This, for instance the original Xbox OS was a modified version of Windows 2000 and Dreamcast OS was a modified version of Windows CE. And yet you couldn't play either Xbox or Dreamcast games on PC.
