- Nintendo buy Sega and Capcom? -
There
is a rumour that Nintendos big announcement will be revealed on this
Tuesday and what will it be? Apparently, Nintendo want to take the Triforce
collaborations further down the line, by actually buying out Namco and Sega.
But Namco backed out, feeling too much creative control would be taken down to
Kyoto so Nintendo opted to go for Capcom. The deal should either be done or
almost completed, this would give Nintendo a larger creative base to fight
Sony and Microsoft.
