The somewhat infamous former CEO of Cyanogen, Kirt McMaster, is claiming on twitter that Nintendo approached the tech company to create a Switch OS based off CyanogenMod, the company’s discontinued fork of the Android OS.

However, this never went anywhere, as McMaster said:

In the early days of cyanogen Nintendo wanted us to create an os for a certain handheld. I told them to stick it.

When it was being actively developed, CyangenMod was one of the most popular custom ROMs for Android. However, this was because of its freedom and user customizability, something Nintendo isn’t entirely enthused about. The Tegra X1 used in the Switch was also originally made for Android devices such as the Pixel C and the Shield Android TV, so it would make sense that Nintendo would want to use the same OS as before.

Nowadays, it seems as if Kirt is regretting his decision, as he himself is saying he and his girlfriend love the Switch, and have been playing Zelda non-stop since release.

The Nintendo Switch is available now for 299$.
