Of course, they'll need to buy Namco too.

Stop thinking rationally, then Megaton makes no sense. And Nintendo, Sega, and Namco still makes sense. Sega ownz in the arcade biz. Don't you think they could still use arcade hardware for VF5, Virtua Cop 3, etc.? It doesn't seem too off.

BULL****. Everyone just keeps repeating themselves. It truly IS getting annoying.

True, but repeating could mean both ways. they might have heard rumors reported the wrong way and read them as fact, or the hints that slipped about the announcement before christmas involving Capcom and Sega may be true.

My only thought on those three is.... Nintendo's philosophy is to both develop and publish games, with the EAD (and SHIGGY) monitoring every detail. It happened with Metroid Prime, it happened with Star Fox Adventures, and it's happened with every game out. Buying ANY company would be both hard on Shiggy and hard on Nintendo's profits already.

Shiggy does a lot because he is a brilliant game designer, but he doesn't monitor every detail of every game. But on the other side, Sega has its own geniuses like Yu Suzuki, and Yuji Naka. Sega has made hit games on their own, give them money for development and some aid in getting the most out of the cube hardware, and they can run with it. Not to mention, they could single-handedly make Cube become big online.

That's also a load of ****. What BRILLIANT DEDUCTION WE HAVE~~! Only 5 games exclusive? If COURSE it's a buyout! Nintendo's monopolizing the market! SAVE YOUR KIDDIES!

The reference to Capcom is just a piece of the puzzle. Nintendo and Capcom seem to have been growing closer and closer lately. It all began with Capcom developing the GBC Zeldas, and then RE goes exclusive, then they develop GBA Zelda, and now 5 exclusive titles? Again, pieces of the puzzle. Would it make sense? Not complete sense. What about RE Online, Tekki, DMC2, and others? If progress was stopped months ago and a porting process begun, it would make sense, but we haven't heard. It all references to say that there is the possibility.
It may not make much sense, but if it did, would it be a surprise? I mean, look at Rare. There wasn't a huge announcement, they didn't steal E3. Basically a press release to news everyone knew about and had accepted. This is so unreal, if it happened, we would all be shocked, and would people buy Gamecubes for Sega and Capcom games? I think so.
But my position still stands. I'm confused
