It would be the end of Nintendo.

as long they keep nintendo making their stuff, no problem.
would be nice that nintendo red account would be paid by MS.
So wii U would be cheaper, and also, maybe more third party games would be on wii U( eg, titanfall)

Nintendo devolving to point where all their making is Mario sports titles for Kinect?.. Oh god, please no... M$ would destroy that company...

 Wii-U would no longer exist if this were to happen. It wouldn't make any sense for M$ to have 2 of their own products out there competing with one another. Handhelds, on the other, would probably be fine.

Took them words right outta my mouth ;)

It's amazing how useful just the first two responses are

- I'm probably going to go play Titanfall as soon as I'm done with this post/surfing the web and I think the UI, controller and Live are all bad, 3rd-party support isn't that great since most of the games tend to be crappy or multi-plats, and Nintendo has only ever made good games for their systems and therefore I can't see them making good games for other hardware that they themselves didn't create etc., at least not easily



sounds like a catastrophe

seriously it's so obvious how catastrophic such an event occurring would be, thankfully it's totally improbable and this is all just confirming the hypothetical apocalypse lol

okay, I might be a bit over-the-top here, but seriously I can't think of a single positive for MS taking in Nintendo

[s]it would be like a hobo trying to adopt a doctor or something, the hobo would pull the doctor down... ignore the fact that hobos wouldn't have the money, it wasn't a very well-thought-out analogy[/s]

This.

There is no excuse for no ingame voice chat in 2014. Period.

 

And I can't believe some people really think Nintendos network is on par with XBL.

it would be another RARE situation. More kinnect games

I will say no, because I don't want it and therefore don't like it.

If anything I would like to see a co-operation between Sony and Nintendo or Samsung or Nintendo. But most of all I want Nintendo to keep to themselves.

I would however want Nintendo to buy Sega.

You guys should consider going out more. I cant believe you sit there chatting with your friends when you are playing different games.  It must get incredibly awkward.
