Ok. Just like to get a few things clear. The following things are not true. Just what I think and my opinions.

Oh, one more thing I give GB and Nintendo 10/10 for excellence in everything and everything else.

Okay, onto the conspiracy :

The Nintendo theam were sat around chatting about a new type of enhanced console, a handheld console. After much discussion, they eventually agreed on something and went to the console designers. The designers sat down and began to draw a new type of handheld - it is horizontal (a bit like the game and watch, but that has little to do with this...) after a about 80 different drawings, they ended up with a drawing of the GameBoy Advance. The Nintendo team then again, sat around chatting about what type of games the GameBoy Advance, it's hardware and a few concept ideas. After 3 weeks, they had run out ideas. They were stuck in mud with a new console with 3 games and a heafty bill to the deigners. There seemed no hope, but then they went back and looked at the schematics (specification) of the GameBoy Advance, and low and behold, it is near enough a hand held Snes. Then one of the team had an idea : why not just start banging out the old Snes games on the GBA? They agreed and went for there greatest creation to date : Mario Kart. The game was re-coded and they added a few extras. They then decided to think why only one, why not the Mario series as well. That way then we get money for selling retro games. Soon it happened and Nintendo were banging out loads of old Snes games shrunk on to the new GBA carts. Ready to be sold at £30-£35 each. Now Nintendo had enough money to start on their profit. They then went back to the drawing board and started on the Nes games. The devised a swipe-card system where an entire Nes game could be coded on to just 5 cards. They had the E-Card reader made and began selling the Nes games at £10 each on these cards, again making money from retro games. But now they hit a snag - where to turn next. They looked at newer consoles, but realised they couldn't be put on to the GBA carts. Then it struk them, why not Monkey Ball? And guess what, Nintendo did it again and released Monkey Ball not only on the GameCube, but on the GBA aswell. One problem : the older gamers would spot that for £35 they get the GBA version, whilst for the same price (On Amazon.co.uk) you can get the GameCube version. Where will Nintendo turn next, but the other company, Sony. That's right, Nintendo released driver 2 and grand theft auto 3 on GBA - once again, money off other games.

Where will Nintendo go next? I'll leave that one up to you...
