I'm sure Iwata would say a more polite and professional version of "suck my yellow balls" to Apple.

This!!!

How do people not get that the Japanese are WAY too proud to sell out to some redneck Western company? I like Nintendo the way it is thank you very much.

Apple makes small, strategic investments, not huge mega-mergers. Even if Apple could pull it off, it's not Jobs' style.

"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing

Ok a more than 100 years old company that survived 2 world wars, one big depression, dozens of economic seatbacks, earthquakes, vendettas and all kind of dirt is going to be taking over because of their products is loosing steam?

Why they don't mention the DS in the article? The writer really thinks that Nintendo is only the Wii. Anyway crap article on any way.

Yea, they keep grabbing for straws. Bet looking at the Wii sales after the pricedrop makes them feel real good.

Apple can't afford it. Nintendo is a huge cashcow and they know it.

The Japanese government would probably step in.

If this is true Nintendo should counter offer with a collaboration proposition, I don't think it's entirely out of question that Nintendo and Apple could benefit from each other. I just don't think it would be the easiest of scenarios for Apple to buy Nintendo.
