Microsoft spent billions on minecraft. They already allow Sony (their main rival) to use it. Why wouldn't they allow Nintendo (a rival with a different demographic) to use it too and make some of the profit to make up for the expense of buying it?

Doesn't sound like a good idea... As someone else already mentioned, the tablet market is already quite saturated.

What does it have to do with tablets?

And a few weeks before E3!

My theory on why Minecraft isn't on WiiU/3DS is that Microsoft doesn't want to compete with a console with Mario and Minecraft for the "kid first console" market. But in an Android based system, the temptation of ust releasing the game might be too great to resist.

This would be terrible... Nintendo Ouya... -_-

What? I am totally surprised how anyone would come to this conclusion, seriously.

Maybe the NX will indeed be something like this.

Its a "insider" joke refering to this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=203557&page=6#9

I dont think its a bad idea they use Android to be honest.

Why not make use of all the apps already found on android market? Nintendo ofc could select which it would allow to be installed ect.

But it basically means not only will you be getting all the games nintendo make, but also all the android ones releaseing.

thats just miss information.

Its been called a "device" before. a "store/system account" is a peice of software not actually a device.

best case:

1) I think you could expect them to do a console and a handheld, where the same games run at differnt resolutions depending on if your useing the handheld or the console.

worst case:

2)They do away with the home console... and sell you a tablet that funktions as both.

At home its put into a docking station, where theres cooling inside the docking station blowing air into the tablet allowing it for a slight overclock => slightly higher resolution only (than a normal handheld).
