    Nintendo is such an unethical company that this would probably be an overall improvement for Nintendo fans. No more getting sued, copyright strikes and cease and desists just for being a fan of Nintendo games. Hell, they might even have mod support when they re-release stuff on pc. What a world that would be to live in. Do I think Microsoft is a good company? Fuck no. They’re still the lesser of the two evils though, fuck Nintendo.

      Microsoft has a history of leaving their acquisitions alone.

      The only difference between a Nintendo-owned Nintendo and a Microsoft-owned Nintendo is that Microsoft would have an even larger share of the gaming landscape. I guarantee that Nintendo would still keep being protective of their intellectual property.
