Nando Monterazo, a Software Engineer at Nintendo of America, has shared that the company is testing out a tablet device primarily aimed at both children and schools. The tablet is apparently based on Android and is fully modified. Nintendo is testing the tablet using Android, but they ultimately want a system written in C/C++ in a Unix environment. The tablet will won’t feature traditional Nintendo games and will instead be for educational games only. Whether they will be able to compete against low-cost Android tablets and Chromebooks at schools remains to be seen.
