Miyamoto: My Wife Plays on Smartphone, Not Nintendo; Kids First Game Machine is Smartphone.

This is why I think NX has to be able to run smart apps. They're not going to get far if they force kids to choose between their tablet and NX; NX needs to accomodate the apps that those kids are already playing (Angry Birds, Pokemon Go, apps like Snapchat) and *then* add Nintendo gaming into their diet. 

If they get stubborn and try to tell kids to only accept their walled ecosystem and forget about those other smart apps ... they're going to get themselves into trouble again. 

How Nintendo does that ... an Android fork or a custom Nintendo OS that still can somehow run mobile apps or something that allows mobile app makers to port their app very, very, very simply, I don't know. They need to figure that out though.

I don't know about that. You mean that the NX should run Android apps? You have heavily argued this before, haven't you?

Where did you get this idea? Did you come up with it yourself lol?

It sounds like it could be a good strategy, but talking just from a pure emotional perspective, I hate Android and Apple so I wouldn't want to have these apps on my future NX.

No need for either.

 

There's an app called bluestacks which lets you run any google play store app without the need for an android device. very useful.
