It's Stridman.

Pretty obvious really, nevermind.

Would be nice if Nintendo were bought out, but only if Microsoft didn't rush them to release games and let them carry on the way they are now. I'd love to see Mario Kart, Smash Bros and other games like that on Live, really would rock and would move Live away from all the serious racing games and shooting games. Live is really missing 'fun' titles that anyone can get into, at the moment most the games cater for serious gamers, not much with any real pick-up and play value.

My point is, if Microsoft buy out Nintendo, Nintendo lose their freedom to do things their way. Hence they have to compromise, the quality of games will go down.

And sure, Microsoft haven't sold a part of their business yet, but nothing's to say that'll always be the case.

I haven't actually said it'll happen though, and the chances are just as likely as Microsoft buying Nintendo.

I just doubt very much that these false rumours will come true - justlike Nintendo supposedly owning the rights to the name Playstation and the GameCube being called StarCube - which I pointed out all along was never ever the case, and no one believed me at the time :D

Hah - it's funny to see how people assume something off of a rumour generated by a crazy person.

I dont really want to tell anyone else because if everyone knew they'd be nasty.

You dont need to know anyway, I dont think i've ever spoken to you so you probably wont know me anyway.

The Ghost: Who are (or were) you exactly?

And yes I did mean Microsoft Game Studios, quite an unfortuanate acronym really.
