One can hope.
And then Disney buys Microsoft.
that email happened 2 years ago Black person

im moronic
And that means they'«re probably in the process of a take over.
Nice headcanon anon
Microsoft having the intention to buy Nintendo doesn't mean it was reciprocated
Also this
Nintendo do have a share in TPC but not a majority share. And that share, at best, could just lead to spinoffs
>Nintendo do have a share in TPC but not a majority share.
Keep seeing this being posted, this is simply not accurate.
Yes, the ownreship of TPC is shared between Nintendo, GF and Creatures.
However, Nintendo also owns part of GF and Creatures. So even if technically the stocks were divided equally back when the company was created, Nintendo remains the shareholder with more power.
>However, Nintendo also owns part of GF
Factually incorrect. They do own token shares in Creatures, as a takeover insurance (ie some c**t wants to buy creatures, Nintendo get a chance to match offers). They don't in Game Freak however and Game Freak will refuse all takeovers, ecause their independence is why they've been ale to make Pokémon persist as long as it has. They have freedom of doing whatever the frick with their games and IP with the only condition being have it ready in two/three years, depending on what game has been contracted.
Therefore Apple is in the process of buying Netflix, Spotify, and Tesla, right?
My God, it's one of these homosexuals.
POKEMON IS NOT OWNED BY NINTENDO. GF is not in any way connected to big N, besides mutual interest in releasing mainline games on big N's consoles.
Nintendo being bought by Microshit will not magically make games better and GF releasing them on anything but N's consoles will not happen unless MS will force Nintendo to stop developing consoles altogether.
A e-girl thread, Cynthia vore trolling or wojack spam died for this thread and all three of them are less moronic than (you).
>xe doesn't know how public stocks work
NGMI
Cope. Who do you think pays GF to shit out pokealop every three months?
>POKEMON IS NOT OWNED BY NINTENDO
you're right, they own it with creatures and the incompetent morons at game freak
Voreschizo isn't a troll lmao, he's genuinely that deranged
>GF is not in any way connected to big N, besides mutual interest in releasing mainline games on big N's consoles.
moronkun, Nintendo owns 1/3 of control of The Pokemon Company, with the other thirds being internal and GF.
They also have a nonmajority control of GF themselves.
So yes, they do in fact have control over pokemon as a franchise.
Wouldn't be the first time Microsoft bought something for an IP only to realise they don't own it.
>Microsoft buying Nintendo
Lol. Lmao even. Not going to happen and even if Nintendo would want to sell Japan wouldn't let it happen
Nintendo did sell like 8%-10% of their shares to Saudi Arabia, but nips will likely keep at least least a 50% +1
>but nips will likely keep at least least a 50% +1
That's my point. Worst case Microsoft would screech to put one of there gays on the board who would probably be ignored
There are several reasons why this post is moronic.
I heard that MS visit Nintendo during the original Xbox development to discuss a buyout and they were laughed out of the room.
That was in 1999. Today things are much different.
Yes, Nintendo is more successful than ever and MS has waning relevance and market dominance.
Nintendo acquired AKB???
This is cope.
MS is already throwing off the Mr. Nice Guy gloves by using their superior wealth to buy out the industry.
Sooner or later, Nintendo will have to submit.
Yeah, Nintendo own two of the top three slots for all-time console sales. Microsoft's only hope of getting anyone in Japan to give a frick for their tech is by buying Nintendo and rebranding the Xbox "Nintendo Xbox" because their current hardware sales in Japan's a fricking joke for how much they think they're the gaming industry.
Nintendo would be more than willing to submit to the Xbox chads
Ignoring the obvious moronation of this post, Pokémon on pc would be fricking terrible. Japanese devs can't work on pc for the life of them, just look at how Nier Automata on Steam was bugged to hell and back for five years until the review bombing forced them to patch it. And if MS shits the game making to a western dev, the franchise is dead. And I mean dead, dead. Imagine Bethesda taking seven years to release gen X and by the time it's out it's only a glitchier mess than anything we've seen before, but takes up 700GB. You people don't realize how good we have it.
an open world PLA-esque pokemon game made by fromsoft would be beyond kino and it would single-handedly save the frachise and take it to unimaginable heights
What cross over is there between FromSoft game design and a monster catching game?
Are you supposed to abuse I-frames and roll through Rayquaza's Hyper Beams?
Yes?
What part of PLA-esque is unclear to you?
They literally can't, there are laws against that in japan
>headcanon out of nowhere
lmao. Saudi Arabia already has stakes on the company.
Foreign investors can buy Nintendo stock. You can buy it right now. They just can't own a controlling stake.
Cope Nintendie. It won't stop Microchad from acquiring Nintendo.
YES I FRICKING LOOOOVE MONOPOLIES GUY I FRICKING LOVE HOW 1 MASSIVE COMPANY JUST FRICKING OWNS A HUGE PORTION OF AN INDUSTRY AND CAN EFFECTIVELY DO WHAT THE FRICK THEY WANT WITH IT WITH 0 MEANINGFUL COMPETITION AND BEING ABLE TO DO WHAT EVER THE FRICK THEY WANT!
I FRICKING CAN’T WAIT UNTIL GAMES ARE ALL OWNED BY MICROSOFT WITH EVEN MORE SHITTY ANTI CONSUMER PRACTICES!
Alright, I admit it. I want Xbox to dominate and win the good old wars. XD
BA-BOOM!!!!! All should be Xbox.
OP is moronic but since there's some confusion I just want to say that Nintendo does have responsibility for publishing the games, so if Nintendo suddenly pivoted to no longer wanting to publish exclusively for their own consoles (this will never happen) then the series would almost certainly become multiplatform, because it's quite easy to port games in this day and age.
GF would probably welcome it as well. Most of their later non-Pokémon games have been multi-platform.
Yeah, that's a good point. It doesn't seem like GF has any special attachment to Nintendo hardware beyond Pokemon games obviously being intended for handheld play.
Since Nintendo doesn't have a controlling share of Gamefreak and Creatures, they can't force those companies to vote with them. I imagine their control over the franchise, outside of perhaps a contract making them the publisher for every title, is just the ability to make suggestions and recommendations (which will almost always be followed, but don't have to be).
>It doesn't seem like GF has any special attachment to Nintendo hardware beyond Nintendo hardware being the only tech that continues to facilitate the premise of the whole series and reason it exists in the first place
It'll never go multiplat, unless multiplats start making portable consoles to put Pokémon on. It's no fricking wonder Switch is portable, its successor is apparently portable and everything from Game Boy to 3DS was portable for Pokémon to appear on. And that's ignoring of course the fact Nintendo likely won't sell up or stop developing consoles. That's what you homosexuals fail to realise - some people just want a game playing box. Not an entertainment hub, not a media centre. A box that you turn on, plug in a game and start playing And that's entirely within Nintendo's wheelhouse as part of a game ecosystem (because the actual peak way to play this current game gen was PC+Switch, to get most the "exclusives" and Nintendo's shit on top).
And Pokémon's the biggest normalgay game brand out there on top.
No shit Nintendo won't sell. I already said that. They have no motivation to sell to anyone, ever. They have a huge cash reserve and they're sitting on some of the best IP in the industry.
I'm speaking in hypotheticals here, and if Nintendo were hypothetically bought by Microsoft, there is a very real chance they would start porting Pokemon games to other platforms, regardless of what Gamefreak develops for.
If Nintendo were bought by Microsoft, Microsoft would have to beg Game Freak for a game for their new shit. Buying Nintendo doesn't buy Game Freak or their desire to make Pokémon for the west. If anything, it'd dissolve the current contract/deal/whatever Nintendo of Japan have with Game Freak requiring Microsoft to make a deal with them as new owners. And there's no guarantee of that happening, unless Microsoft pay to develop a handheld to satisfy Game Freak's (Tajiri really) autistic need to put pokémon in kid hands with portable consoles.
>If anything, it'd dissolve the current contract/deal/whatever Nintendo of Japan have with Game Freak
No, probably not. If you buy a company, its contracts don't magically disappear.
Obviously we can only speculate on the actual contents of such a contract, if it exists, but it almost certainly doesn't have a clause saying "and this ceases to be effective if a majority share of Nintendo's stock is bought by another company."
They never did that.
Look at Mojang post-MS take-over.
Microsoft is still relevant in gaming?
Sony is still relevant in gaming?
Gaming is the only sector Sony is still relevant in.
Sony would be bankrupt if they left the industry. Nobody's watching their shitty movies or buying their shitty electronics.
They make bank on their insurance business and music royalties, electronics are a side hustle to keep old prestige and possibly evade taxes.
Monopolies are bad.
Not really. Sometimes they can be a necessity. And given how shitty and anti-consumer the gaming industry has become thanks to console wars? Yeah, we need Microsoft to do what needs to be done.
One company controlling everything destroys competition and thus nothing ever improves. If one greedy company controls everything, there's no alternative so that company can get away with anything.
Why are you replying to blatant bait?
Microsoft would treat us right. Why do you want to hold gaming back by denying Microsoft their rightful role? You're just like the bloody bastard Britishers who tried to deny Microsoft Activision.
>meanwhile, Halo:
These shitheads were eating up DP when Master Chief was teaming up with the Arbiter. What do they know abut Halo.
I mean the state of Halo as a franchise right now is basically dead in the water thanks to 343 Industries (and Microsoft by extension) being completely moronic
never happening, moron
Settle down, Shaun, you'll pop a blood vessel.
