The executive chairman Kirt McMaster revealed on Twitter that in difficult times, Nintendo has turned to Cyanogen to demand the creation of an operating system for aportable device. Cyanogen, creator of the Android-based OS, rejected the proposal. Considering its expertise with Google software, it is reasonable to think that Nintendo had bet on Android, consistently with the rumor of some time ago, as the basis for its new platform. McMaster added that, since it is a custom kernel, despite that rejection, the Big N has used anyway “Android” to Switch OS. @ romainguy @ dnaltews@ rebelleader In the early days of cyanogen Nintendo wanted us to create an os for a certain portable. I told them to stick it. — Kirt McMaster (@ kynprime) March 21, 2017 source: NintendoLife release date: March 3, 2017
