8-5-04---- Microsoft Interested In Nintendo
VIENNA U.S. computer giant Microsoft Corp Chairman Bill Gates has expressed interest in buying Japan\'s Nintendo Co, the German economic weekly Wirtschafts Woche reported in its electronic edition on Wednesday. Gates revealed his interest at a meeting of economic analysts in the United States. The magazine quoted Gates as saying he would immediately make an offer if Nintendo is ready to sell itself. If Hiroshi Yamauchi, the biggest shareholder of Nintendo and its adviser, calls, \"he will be directly transferred to me,\" Gates said. (Kyodo News)

ROTFL.

I don\'t believe it. =P They would mostly likely reject his offer.

I mean, what does Nintendo have to lose? They\'re making money with their consoles, pff.

I\'m with Kia. Why would Nintendo just sell? Besides, what would Gates do with Nintendo? I doubt he has intrest in Video Games. I guess he would take down Nintendo, make it into a Microsoft building or company or something, therefore us losing all Nintendo consoles, and any Megaman game release on Nintendo! NOOoOOO!!!!!!!

Gates just made the X-box to make himself even a little more ridiculously rich. I doubt he actually enjoys playing video games, but he could.. I don\'t know.

But Nintendo isn\'t really a poor company and I beyond a doubt expect them to not sell-out. Especially with the DS about to be released to the world. Then supposedly they have the revolutionary something major other than graphics system coming out in 2006. I have complete faith in Yamauchi, anyways if this did happen I would have to buy ......THE UNTHINKABLE!... a PS2!, Just to get my game fix.

But who knows how else Gates could butcher the world of video game controlers......I\'d cut off my arms before I\'d played with a controller bigger than my head. The only time I forced myself to use an X-box controller was when Cel-Damage first came out and GameFellas was letting me play for free. I\'d sooner take a bullet to the groin than play a Nintendo game that came out of the head of Microsoft......

*Coming March 2006*

Stealth Tactics NFL Mario Bros. ..... Wrestling

Stealthily sabotage the evil enemy\'s HQ, while playing RPG NFL tactics, and conquering the WWF with the beloved Mario Bros.

I\'d buy it.....

Oh no! Bill Gates is going to make a Nintendo game of himself called \"Bill Gates:the legend\". You will sit around all day and make Bill Gates pick his nose and put glitches in other games on purpose.

It wouldn\'t surprise me if he did. Must kill Bill Gates, eat his soul. Aww man that tastes nasty here have it back ewww

If he does buy it, I will soak his mortal body in acids, and feed his remains to my dog! Let me guess, after that, he\'ll buy the licsense to Zelda, and Mario. I\'m gonna make him pay! *Dash\'s madly to Bill\'s Evil Lair*

I wonder if you guys can really read and/or understand the simple logic:

NINTENDO IS NOT GOING TO SELL TO BILL GATES.

Why are you guys worrying? MS were only able to buy the software companies. Do you really think Nintendo would want to sell themselves to Microsoft? They LOST Rare!

There is no need to panic, guys.

Kia is right. No need to worry, for now, anyway. Bill will offer big though, and you guys know Nintendo... Why keep a company when one day your succsess (sp?) would go down the drain (Stocks, ect.), or when you could sell it for like 50 billion bucks and always be rich till you die?

This sounds like the talk about Comcast trying to buy out Disney. It\'s not going to happen and/but the main point is neither company heard of the offer. ;^^

A slow news day for videogame sites and mags so they try to spread rumors...

Actually it\'d be Stealth Tactics NFL Mario Wrestling Volleyball.

Princess, Daisy, Birdo, Plum, Maple, and all the rest of the girls that are in the Mario series, plays volleyball while wearing really skimpy bikinis. Then wears those same bikinis while fighting the WWF. :lol:

Calm down, people. Read this quote:

The magazine quoted Gates as saying he would immediately make an offer if Nintendo is ready to sell itself.


Come on, that\'s like me saying: \"If Bill Gates calls me to sell Microsoft for 1$, I\'ll agree immediately!\" It doesn\'t mean anything AT ALL! A little quote out of context is getting spread around as a big news item...

I have faith in Nintendo. I know they won\'t sell to that bespectacled fool Bill Gates. They\'re smarter than that. Only a fool would sell themselves to a rival company when they\'re still making popular systems. And of course, as mentioned before, people are really looking forward to the DS.

No he isn\'t that deserving of this amount of hate but, I guess we\'re worried. If he got hold of Nintendo the games they made wouldn\'t be as good.

It\'s only a matter of time before microsoft comes with some kind of handheld too.
In fact, I believe they\'re on it as we type.
