"Microsoft and Nintendo union..."

Could be the best thing since sliced bread.

Heavily rumoured and would kill off opposition from Sony. Nintendo and their second/first parties develop around 30 games a year with 95% of which reaching status of a very good game and at least 40% being treated amongst the greatest games of recent years.

Rumours have been started from insiders when Microsoft expressed interest in the venture and Nintendo also seemed intrigued. The concept isn't too ridiculous, despite both thriving in the market Nintendo and Microsoft are vastly falling behind industry leader Sony. Microsoft's main goal is to get itseld as the industry leader whilst Nintendo's also shares the aim but desires to continue producing fresh and innovative games amongst others.

Nintendo's EAD head Shigeru Miyamoto, seen as the greatest games designer in the world ever, has made comments surrounding Microsoft. Stating that "Machine strength needs to be dynamic, although (X-box's) power is phenomonal and presents many oppertunities it doesn't have the dynamic structure of Gamecube", he also said commenting on the rumours "(laughing) Well with Microsoft's Money i guess it means there'd be no stopping Nintendo"

More as it comes.

Excuse me?


Oh yeah, Blinx and Train Simulator ro><0rz!!111@!1one!!11

Think about it though.

Nintendo is good at making an attractive looking console.

Microsoft is good at all the fancy pancy hardware that goes inside it.

Nintendo is good at making great "fun" games.

Microsoft is good at making great "fun" and "mature" games.

Nintendo is bad at Marketing

Microsoft is good at Marketing

Perfect Merger!

Nintendo have got a new head honcho since the GC though.

It would be nice but it's very unlikely.

I highly doubt Nintendo would ever agree to merge with anohter company, especially a western company.

If EA thought the 3D0 was a good idea: then anythings possible! :D

So was the Dreamcast and it still is.

The Saturn was great... God bless.

So what is dynamic about the Gamecubes hardware? Oh no... Nintendo are going to bring out another expansion pack thing aren't they....

It would be good. I think Sega should be thrown into the mix too.

And then we can all laugh as we watch Sony bleed. Would serve 'em right. They killed the Saturn...

It's a rumour...

This isn't a spoof.

I can't see it happening. And that's my opinion as an "expert" in this particular field.



YAK!!!!!
