While I think it would be fantastic to get a Zelda, Starfox, and Mario games on the Xbox2 I don't think this will happen. I admit, the evidence is intriguing, but not really viable. There hasn't been any rumor FOR the argument either, so we have a 'guilty until proven innocent' case. And
while the CEO of Nintendo is a very proud Japanese... the board members are not. Anyone remember the "Like my tiny yellow balls" article in Wired where MS was trying to buy Nintendo? Yeah, the board members wanted to go with it (or at least half of them did) and the CEO said no. Maybe Nintendo is thinking about bowing out of the console market and just doing games. I don't see anything bad about that. We still get Ninty games and we don't have to buy a new console. And Mike, just because they confirmed that Nintendo is bringing a set-top console out, doesn't mean it won't have MS's logo on it...
I still think it's bunk, but I love a good conspiracy theory. <
