When we talk about the world of video games, everyone comes to mind different companies that have marked an era, a myth or any other type of qualification. We could say that the era of video-games is still on the rise, although it is true that mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones have taken the limelight away from portable video-consoles and even the large, next-generation video-consoles.
If we look at the history of video games we will see that there is a company that stands out and will always be remembered no matter what, it is Nintendo. The Japanese are internationally recognized and continue to be one of the largest video game manufacturers that currently exist, although lately the company's journey is full of curves and a bit lost due to the great competition and the bad strategy of the same with its current video consoles.
Its latest console has failed to capture a mainstream appeal among users because competing consoles such as Xbox One and PS4 have a catalog of games designed for a different audience and the specifications of the same have nothing to do with the famous WiiU console. Nintendo knows that times have changed and that is why it is already thinking about what is expected to be the next boom in the video game industry, as happened with Super Nintendo or the famous Wii.
Now under the code name Nintendo NX, the Japanese want to change things as they have been doing until now and be able to compete against smart tablets, phones and virtual reality glasses. His new strategy is to bring back harder games in his new generation as well as having a new experience of playing a video game.
Nintendo could bet on Android
As we can read in an article that has been recently published by the Japanese medium Nikkei, the next Nintendo console under the name of Nintendo NX could run under Google's Android operating system. We have seen how Nintendo has already taken the first steps so that some of its games are on different mobile platforms and now it seems that it would be working on an Android version designed exclusively for said console.
In this way, Nintendo would give an easier opportunity for developers who have experience with Android to easily bring smaller, more attractive titles to said platform, in addition this would also help this new console to better connect with devices that were in the home. . But not everything would be good, since if Android were the operating system, we would probably see the famous compatibility with previous consoles from the same company disappear, unless the Japanese had something prepared about it. Nintendo could also follow in the footsteps of Android consoles such as the famous Ouya or Nvidia Shield, being able to include virtual reality glasses in its new generation.
Be that as it may, soon there will be E3, the largest video game fair, where Nintendo is expected to explain something about its new games designed for the mobile industry, as well as give some other details about this new Nintendo NX under Android. And you, What do you think about it ?
