See? Nintendo can keep things under the table well. I had no effing clue they had stake in them... :eek:

Well, it's good to see such a wonderful old man enjoying his retiration. Bastard. Owns a baseball team and never tells us. :rolleyes:

Dude, this is WAAAAAAYYYYY Old. That´s why ken Grifey (sp?) jr.´s games were exclusive to Nintendo for much time. You need to do some more homework. I have known that for years.

[Joeiss]

Yeah, when Griffy left Seattle, they stopped making those games because they didn't have the rights to him anymore.

Ok, yeah, somebody reminded me at my other board.. I guess I kind of forgot to edit this post. ^_^;;;;

Someone's out of the loop ;)

Everybody knows he owns it. Howard Lincoln even left to work for the team. Theres a gamecube billboard behind homeplate. They actually saved the mariners from going to Tampa Bay in 1992.

hmmm..you think they'd pounce on the opportunity to make a franchise out of Ichiro Suzuki.:unsure:

[GameKinG]

Yeah, but they havent. They have used him in ads in japan cause thats one of the biggest reasons they like baseball over there.
