Since you did post this in my thread i don't think a partnership like this would work. Japanese and American business philosophies are completely different. It would be like if Honda teamed up with ford to release a car.



That's why Nintendo would have primary control of the gaming side of things. Which I think is OK even by MS as I don't think Nadella and the new board at MS really wants a hardware game division all that badly anyway. Nintendo would have to compromise on a few things, but a little compromise to regain a big control of the Western market I think in the end would be worth it.


Which if this was a possible, would be ideal if Nintendo was incharge of the entire gaming division at Microsoft (which includes hardware). I wouldn't want Nintendo compromise anything. I would want them to keep the mobile business and IPs entirely their own thing should Microsoft try anything shifty. 

Agreed. Nintendo obviously maintains 100% control of all their IP. I even added they have the ability to opt-out of a deal with MS after 5-6 years if they really don't like it. 

Mobile would be the same, Nintendo just agrees to use Windows OS + Cloud/online ... which I think ultimately is OK even for Nintendo, they would get a robust OS that's competetive in services/functionality with iOS/Android without having to spend a fortune in money/resources for it (as they would have to on their own).
