ROFLMAO.

If I was on battle.net, I'd call you a n00b.

Nintendo was founded in... 1889.

I personally don't believe that money can buy anything. People have principles and one of them is that they don't want M$ to be the gaming monopolist.

Well after looking into it and seeing that they were infact a card maker I withdraw my making fun of jonbo for being "fanboyish"

This is horrendous, if Nintendo was purchased by another company I would stop playing their games and using their products. If we stopped playing, it would hit them hard and then Nintendo would have to buy themselves back.

You would actually do that? You're a sad, sad man.

It's not just me, it's the entire American nation. Want to know why the majority of old people only drive Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, and Crown Victorias? It's because they're American made cars and they want to support American workers making them. And they're still angry with our enemies from WWII, so buying a Toyota or Honda or the plethora of other Asian based cars is considered a traiterous, unpatriotic action.

Yea, thats true. Im not sure Id go to as drastic measure as GM as not playing thier games at all, but that would be a sad, sad day indeed. Luckily, it wont happen anytime soon, if it ever does.

Microsoft buying Nintendo? I sense a great disturbence in the force.

Sooooo, americans wouldnt buy a japanese made console because an american company bought them?

ok, past that bit of confusion;
IMO, they'd gain more players then they'd lose if MS bought em.

Ok... but you're a loyal fanboy to a JAPANESE company, so I don't see how that has any relevence to this topic at all.

Say, if you were a true American patriot, wouldn't you be an Xbox fanboy?

EDIT: By the way, if what you say is true, those old people need to beat (just like all old people I guess). Being angry even after 50+ years after a war has ended is idiotic and in no way American patriotism.

This is a pretty funny conversation to read.

If Nintendo was bought out my MS, I would start to play Nintendo games on MS systems. We need to go back to 2 systems on the market, so people like Joeiss can buy both, and enjoy all games, and a reasonable price.
