Quote from the article: "This console, made for shooters and runners and jumpers, could become something much greater than Nintendo ever imagined, because anyone who wants to can build the software and hardware to improve it."

Is this true? Is it no longer necessary to be an approved Nintendo developer to write software for it?

I recall back in the day it was difficult for an indy to get a Nintendo dev licence. What's changed here?

EDIT: For those who care - this is what I just found...

According to above article, it will be tough getting onto the platform as an indy. Pity, I was excited for a moment...
