Terrible. Nintendo at least puts some effort in creating something new every time, and I imagine the situation wouldn't be as good with MS. Also, lots and lots of expensive DLC.

Not for sale buddy =D



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I'm guessing nobody wants "Links of War"?

The culture clash would be bad. It'd make more sense to acquire IPs and developers rather than Nintendo itself.


True. Japan would stop playing Nintendo games if Microsoft were to buy them outright. Good lord...I would pray for Pokemon.

The culture between Nintendo and Microsoft is just too different. You saw what happened to Rare. It wouldn't work. Maybe if they spun off Xbox as it's own company, and the two merged, it could work, since they'd both be all about games, but even then I don't really think it'd work too well.

Microsoft has no real identity outside of being hub for all the hottest multiplayer games. They don't even need to be associate with MS.

It would be a bad move to buy Nintendo, they are overpriced. The way they handle things, you can get them for 50% of the price in 2 years.

I would like a Mario Kart on a existing, proven and working online network though.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

What a joke. Beeing in a network under a different brand magically makes it better huh? It might come as a shock, but Nintendo network works and you dont even need to pay for it.
