Yesterday, major Japanese business newspaper Nikkei reported that Nintendo is looking into using Android to power its next console, codenamed NX. Not so, says Nintendo.

"There is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX." That's the statement from a Nintendo spokesman given to The Wall Street Journal. A few important notes:

All of which is to say... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . The sourcing for the story wasn't exactly solid, but even if it's true, Nintendo could easily change its mind before publicly releasing details in 2016.

Then again, maybe the Nintendo spokesman is being very careful with his words. Maybe Android is being adopted / considered / thought about / written on a whiteboard of potential ideas for a project not named NX. What about project MX? NY? R.O.B. 2? Who knows.
