Microsoft to Buy Nintendo?

Microsoft to Buy Nintendo? 08/04/2004 03:27 PM
Speculation's running rampant (based on a rather random comment by CEO Bill Gates) that Microsoft is looking to buy Nintendo. But most gaming industry watchers seem to agree Nintendo's not shopping itself around. And if it were, it would prefer not to sell to Microsoft.

Why the push towards Xbox Next, console bundles, and Grand Theft Auto have one Nintendo manager steamed. Nintendo Europe managing director David Gosen has strongly criticised Microsoft for attempting to drive the industry to a hardware transition too early, and also attacked the games media for its focus on the next generation. Speaking at the ELSPA Games Summit in London, Gosen described the industry's current generational cycle as a "self-fulfilling prophecy," saying that the industry was stuck in a mindset where "five to six years is right, and come what may, we're going to stick to it."

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.

A German financial magazine, WirtschaftsWoche, reported Wednesday that Bill Gates said he was interested in buying video game giant Nintendo. Many Web sites and several news services picked up the report, and Microsoft Corp.'s public relations team shifted swiftly into gear for damage control and denial. Its corporate statement was that Microsoft did not comment on "rumors or speculation." Beyond that, the Microsoft view was clearly that the reported comments were out of context. The remark attributed to Gates was made during an informal cocktail reception after Microsoft's yearly financial analysts' meeting recently at the company's Redmond headquarters.

Nintendo DS 12/19/2004 03:46 PM

The hype machine has been hot and heavy for the Nintendo DS. Of course there's always the excitement about a brand-new gaming console, whether it's a handheld or home unit. But the DS — the Dual Screen — is something altogether new. We managed to get our hands on one and let game reviewer Ben Kuchera give it a good rogering.

So I didn't know what to think when I hit the town looking for a Nintendo DS. Like most of us I was skeptical of the unit at first, the idea of a handheld with two screens and touch capabilities seemed too gimmicky, almost as if Nintendo was getting into the PDA market. Sony seemed ready to take the handheld crown from Nintendo with specs that were more initially impressive.

The result? Well, we're not going to spill the beans here, but let's just say he was pleasantly surprised. Want more detail? Read on...

Nintendo DS to Have Wi-Fi Voice Over IP

Nintendo DS to Have Wi-Fi Voice Over IP 08/31/2004 03:07 PM

Information has come out about Nintendo's upcoming DS handheld's ability to serve as a voice-over-IP handset, allowing DS gamers to make phone calls when connected to a Wi-Fi access point. There's no word if the service will allow DS users to call other, regular phones or not. Knowing Nintendo, it's probably more likely that DS users will be able to chat to other DS users, and not serve as an actual phone. (Thanks, John!)
