As MS prepares to scoop up Mojang for $2.5 billion, kinda fun to sit back and think in 1999 Bill Gates and Microsoft offered $25 billion to purchase Nintendo. Gates apparently let it be known that if Yamauchi called that the call be transferred directly to him.
Yamauchi did apparently take a few months to study the offer but eventually declined it. Taking inflation into account this would be nearly $35 billion today (wowza).
