Nah. IP belongs to MS so unless they get some serious royalties it aint gonna happen.

"making silly casual Kinect games that no one is buying"

I believe Kinect Sports 1 and 2 are selling very well actually over 6 million total.....unless casuals arent classified as "people" :P

Isn't Banjo property of RARE? obviously MS owns them so they own what RARE owns, but if Nintendo buys it from MS, wouldn't it become property of Nintendo by the same principal that made it property of MS years ago?

Yes. But I doubt MS is selling. Nintendo has been on record stating that they are taking it easy on paying money for exclusives and acquisitions.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
