Yesterday, an article surfaced from Japanese newspaper Nikkei suggesting that Nintendo’s upcoming system, the NX, will use an Android operating system. The publication cited people with knowledge of what’s happening within the Big N in its report.

Nintendo has since responded to the speculation, and has confirmed that the rumors are inaccurate.

“There is no truth to the report saying that we are planning to adopt Android for NX,” a company spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal.

This seems to be keeping in line with Nikkei’s track record. While the newspaper has been spot on with a number of reports in the past, it’s also true that a number of claims have ended up being proven false.

Warner Bros. Interactive released a new LEGO Dimensions trailer today. View it below.

Neko.Works is developing a new 3D turn-based Japanese-style RPG called “Project Light”, and it’s coming to the Wii U eShop.

Project Light takes place in an underground cyberpunk world ruled by a fierce empire. Main character Haru dreams of vast green plains and a clear blue sky, which comes in contrast to his reality.

Haru sets off on a journey to discover the mysteries of his world. He’ll team up with a number of allies, including a mysterious, silver haired girl that is key to his quest.

Project Light employs a turn-based battle system. All encounters take place directly on the field without transitions or loading.

Check out the game’s teaser trailer below.
