Okay, so I guess NX is going to be focused on Nintendo's traditional software along with some sort of mobile support via an android fork or something. I bring this up because of the detachable controllers, once they're detached it's probably going to look like a smartphone which sets the stage for smartphone style gaming. I think Nintendo is coming out of their shell a bit.

Well there was that rumor where the system synced with your mobile devices and probally does something along the line of streaming your apps from the phone on the NX. So potentially if true you can have your phone in a pocket/bag and use the NX as the phone.

Nikkei basically reported it'll be able to run Android apps full stop. Nikkei is almost always right even when Nintendo denies their reporting. 

Which makes sense, Nintendo can then take 30% of the profit from smartphone apps on NX. 

They don't have to run Android as an OS per say though, could still be a custom Nintendo OS, just with an Android fork underlay or something. 

My personal feeling is Android apps are indeed in and Android devs will easily be able to add physical controls to their Android games.
