Wiiu OS make good job, it works like Android, there is some apps like Netflix or youtube apps,  easy to surf on Web because wiiu have panel screen... 

And run on ARM processor... 

The heart of Nintendo is the software, in 2014 Iwata say " on Apple and Android, there is one way of programming,  Nintendo have to be like them indid... "

Nintendo works on a big OS,  probably Android frienly, perhaps advanced cloud computing fonctions... and looking at all connected devices,  make family of products like Apple... In first smartphone... 

No grown adult would be happy with a Nintendo OS ... people rely on phones for their *life*, not just having some fun on the side. A phone OS has to work flawlessly, have incredibly wide breadth of functionality, function flawlessly in a business/college/work setting, be very fast, and offer hundreds of thousands of apps.

Nintendo? C'mon. Nintendo is a company of like 5000 people. Most of whom don't know the first thing about making an OS, they are game designers. EA has more employees. Apple has 100,000+ employees. Microsoft is 118,000. Nintendo is not going to make some type of OS superior to iOS/Android/Windows Phone .... that's never going to happen. Not to mention the cost investment needed, you can't just make an OS for a few million bucks, it would require the largest investment in Nintendo's history.

Last year, Nintendo invest 527millions dollars in search &Development... Largest investment in Nintendo's history ;) 

 

And remember this :

Nintendo need a OS,  need a unified plateform of Development... It's a fact. 

 it's the only way for staying on hardware business... Create OS,  working on ARM,  x86,  including vulkan API...  Be ready for futur... 

Nintendo have résiste Sony, Microsoft Last ten year with 5000 people...  I not sure they have problems to going front Apple or Google... The important is the concept,  remember Wii 100 millions with wiisport...
