Newsflash: gaming is selfish. It is you spending your money to get yourself personal entertainment.

Alot of hobbies are selfish but that in no way means that you should bend the business to your liking. Afterall those WII owners didn't have issue parting with their money when purchasing the WII ...

The Wii cost money?

I distinctly remember wanting one and then having one, but I can't remember the time in between.

I ain't bending anything. This is but a personal wish list that probably won't happen. geeeez.



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

 

Nintendo would make kinect games and Nintendo IP would be unused.



Nobody else remembers Rare?

If Microsoft buys Nintendo, we'll be lucky if one gen after that we get a free to play 3D Mario developed by a bottom of the barrel western studio.

For everybody in the thread who thinks Microsoft killed Rare, it was THEIR own damn fault that they ruined themselves. Their last big game on the gamecube showed that they were in decline well before developing games for Microsoft.

If Nintendo continues to be irrelevant in the next few years like they are now with the WII U then yeah they might be better off being bought by Microsoft cause at least Microsoft has their shit together when it comes to management.


haaa!!! remember don matrick and the xbox one reveal? 

All part of an elaborate ruse to increase interest in the Xbox One. Even Negative PR is still PR.

Microsofts first party is a testament to the fact that they cannot handle Nintendos IP's. Nintendos IP's are masterfully crafted, regardless of their circumstances and they don't run things out every two years like MS. They actually care for overall quality for all of their IP's and not just two or three.

LOL They would make Kinect games worlds better than MS could. LMAO What a joke. You must've missed the Wii Generation. If anyone can solve the Kinect problem, its Nintendo's first party. The Wii's first party was great even though the third party was crap. This is always guaranteed with Nintendo win or lose.

Tell them...please. It's almost like they enjoy having the blinders on. Microsoft just isn't even on that level even though they have tons of cash. They have no creativity nor focus to run games made by Nintendo.



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