I've been a fan of Nintendo games ever since the N64 / GBC and I have been pretty loyal since. But i have to admit, I’d now like Nintendo to take the same path as Sega - or something similar.
At first, when rumors started to fly about Xbox buying Nintendo I wasn’t very keen - because after all, it wouldn’t have been the same, would it?
But now, if either Microsoft or Sony bought Nintendo out, and had Nintendo making quality games without having to worry about console sales then everybody would be a winner.
Obviously this won’t happen in the current consoles, and I don't think it will happen in the next wave either, although I would like it to. But it’s bound to happen one day.
Just imagine; a Playstation with Zelda, Jak, Mario, Final Fantasy’s and GTA all on one console.
Or an Xbox with Halo, Ninja Gaiden mixed with some of Nintendo’s laid back classics. In fact - if Microsoft bought Nintendo maybe we could see some Nintendo & Rare calibrations. Donkey Kong Country 2 perhaps?
This is the way forward, I’m inclined to admit. Been stubborn never got anybody anywhere.

In terms of quality games Nintendo wins hands down - i just think they should support a big console rather than having thier own. Good Ninendo Games are few and far between now, and they are losing 3rd party support by the day. So they need some things to fill in the gaps between the good stuff - an Xbox could do this, couldent they?
I'll show you where you can put that flag..
Wave what flag?
I'd be perfectly happy for MS and Nintendo to merge. If Sony and Nintendo merged, I'd kill somebody.
My Cube and my respect for Nintendo are still going extremely well.
Who else has ever matched Nintendo?
