Yes, they created the Handheld market with the game boy.  They haven’t ever ventured into the mobile market.

Then I realized I already have a cell phone and tablet for Android apps. So if this pans out to be true, it will end up like most things from Nintendo of late, who cares. The WiiU will be under-powered compared to the other consoles, just like the Wii. It may sell a ton of units to the unintelligent crowd just like Apple products but is in reality useless compared to what is out on the market.

I honestly don’t think Wii U will run Android as an operating system but what this could mean is the Android Apps on the Wii U controller.

Android is very developer friendly, and ice cream sandwich proved how the OS can take advantage of powerful hardware as well.

Nintendo is not gonna make it with the wiiu if lies are told about it already. It’s like I call myself a developer, then I say the wii u will be hot, next thing you know the writers are going to say, an annonymous publisher claimed that the wii u is able to overheat fast. That is a big Problem as nintendo is getting bashed for something that’s not even true…

And a lot of articles said, they were going door to door. to different phone app people so I think the people who picked it up was google. Heck they even went to comcast, and autodesk, and even mobiclip/chip

Android does not run on PPC. 

Therefore, this is bullshit.

Nintendo will never make phone games (and I’m glad).
