At least that's my assumption. And he's finally realized that Nintendo is hot. Can anyone say X-Cube? GameBoy X? XBox VR? Ok, not that last one.

Microsoft Corp's founder Bill Gates has expressed his interest in acquiring computer games company Nintendo Co from the Japanese billionaire Hiroshi Yamauchi.

[ Forbes.com ]

After this, Nintendo could reveal the secret labratory of Square Enix, and Gates could “aquire” them as well. Shortly after Naugty Dog and Insomniac would ditch Sony, and the One World Order would be in place.

Of course if Bill wants Nintendo that bad, Amazon sells $a(B00006IJJI,GCNs)...

As it turns out this was just a rumor. There was no way it was gonna happen...at least not yet.

From: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/08/06/news_6104348.html

The official story: "Nintendo won't sell itself [to Microsoft]. It's not a possibility, and there is no such talk at all."--Nintendo public relations chief Yasuhiro Minagawa.
