Would Nintendo receive a cut from gaming companies releasing on their device? If so, how much?

They'd have to make their own OS if they don't want to use Android's Play Market, right?

Yes. The would have to make their own OS, but Nintendo is entirely capable of doing this. I think they could charge either a flat % or adapt a model similar to the xbox game pass. It's really clear that publishers are unhappy with the 30% cut that apple and steam currently take, which means change is likely coming to the financials of the gaming industry. With new games potentially costing $70, the xbox game pass becomes an even better deal for the consumer. 

So the cut they would take something less than what Apple does, but still something. Hmm. I wonder how much less they'd have to take in order to convince developers to make their game work on Nintenphone.
