Nintendo to purchase Capcom!!!

[DeathsHand]

K I still don't really believe this Capcom rumor, but check out what the president/CEO of Capcom Entertainment said when asked "What are the biggest challenges in the PS2 market, and what trends will be hot in 2003?" (in the latest issue of PSM where they have a bunch of developers around and ask them questions about the next year in gaming and such):

Originally sed by some dude at Capcom who looks kinda like Robin Williams
"The bottom line is that there is going to be a lot of competition, especially on PS2. The key theme will be competitiveness and pricing. I think you will see the demise of some big corporations this year. There is a very good chance that big-time companies will consolidate or merge. Who will it be? I have some suspicious, but we will leave it for the future to tell."

... hmmm...

Meh whatever

Maybe Capcom will merge with someone else...like Namco, who knows? This is quite interesting though...

They have in fact announced a game for Xbox in the last few mouths it’s only a driving game but it’s still a game. Also Dino Crisis 3 is coming to Xbox (I believe Microsoft paid money for this. Like Nintendo did with res-evil)...

Hmmm...from what I understand, Nintendo never made any advances toward Capcom over development (Capcom ASKED to develop both the Oracle series for GBC AND RE for GCN). It's in an interview on cube.ign.com somewhere, but it wasn't that long ago (around July).

And as for Auto Modellista, it's also online for PS2, though I haven't heard any announcements for the game on XboxLive.
