Nintendo always denies Nikkei reports, but Nikkei pretty much has a spot less track record.
Even the Seaman 3DS game that Nikkei reported, at Iwata's funeral last year the creator of Seaman confirmed he was working with Nintendo on a Seaman 3DS game, it just stalled in development, so they were right even about that.
From the sounds of it this isn't even an official comment from Nintendo, sounds like some random rep was contacted.
