Damn it. Sounds plausible then.

It's just not because I dislike Android, it's also because as a classic company I want Nintendo to feel unique and exclusive (and I don't like this Mario release on smartphone at all). They should not dilute their brand name too much. But perhaps a custom version of the Android app store won't do that, I'm not sure.

Now that I think about it, what arguments, besides pure emoptional, are there for Nintendo to not implement an extrenal app store like Android's?

I think the OS will still be pretty much custom Nintendo, but there will be some kind of way for existing apps to be implimented into either natively right off the hop or a very, very simple porting process. 

You'll go into your Nintendo eShop on NX and see "NX Games", "Apps/Games", "Virtual Console/HH" categories. I think it'll just be that simple. Click on the Apps section and you can download things like Angry Birds or Final Fantasy VII or Real Racing 3 and play. 

Blackberry has a phone that uses their Blackberry OS, but can load games from Amazon's Android store (so Android apps basically work on it). I guess Nintenod could do something like that, only cut out Amazon obviously. 

There are some pretty decent mobile games too ... I wouldn't mind playing some of those Square-Enix iOS/Android games with physical controls.

You sure those games would be compatible with the phisical controls? That would be cool actually.

Could you name sum such games u are interested in? Do you keep track of mobile games? Do you play them??
