I knew about 70% of the these facts. I did not know the Seattle Mariners were owned by Nintendo.

I knew that Nintendo of America owned the Seattle Mariners. I wanted to know who owned one of the worst baseball teams in the MLB and I got my answer.

One of Nintendos largest bad moves ever. Rare's as well.

After seeing what Rare has become, I can't say it was a bad move. Rather dissapointing move, but bad? I think not...

Although Microsoft is at fault in what made Rare be. -_-'

If they stuck with Nintendo, this would not have happened to them.

But it does make you wonder why the owners of Rare wanted to sell the rest of thir share in the first place... Was it something so bad that Nintendo may have have found out and ultimatly made them not to buy the rest of the share? ~_^

And hey, after aquired by Microsoft, it would still be a tug of war between them, since Nintendo owns 49% of Rare, which is still a losing battle for them... So it's easy to cut them off entirely. :/

Far away from one of the worst. So you did not actually look this up did you?

 

anyways, I remember when Seattle got their new stadium and there were N64's everywhere. Lol



No I certainly looked it up, but I exaggerate I didn't go wow that team is not good who owns them lol. I mean I can argue that out of 30 teams in the MLB they are in the top 5 worst teams ever. Miami, Houston, Mariners, Padres, Pirates. They've certainly have had some good players in KGJ, Ichiro, Felix. but their only achievement in their 36 year history was that 116 win season(best in baseball ever).
